Think Before You Sing

If you are sick of the “wound in salt” discussion than I apologize. When used properly the phrase “salt in wound” can create a powerful illustration. But when you change the phrase, it falls short of it’s potential. What if the issue is that the illustration should always fall flat? We see and use the word wound so much that we start to use it for minor scratches and cuts. But biblically it is so much more than that. Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. The wounds described there are the deadly kind. The kind that are reserved for the worst of the worst, not some accidental cut on your hand. Not something to be taken lightly. A severe punishment meant for you and I. Every little thing we do wrong is inflecting those wounds on Jesus. If those wounds were inflicted on us, they wouldn’t be sufficient to pay for our sin. Only eternal damn...

Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. Proverbs 14:29 This week’s video looked closely at Good 4 u , a song that is all about anger. I stated in the video that the anger needed to go somewhere and a song was an acceptable place for that. I stand by that. However, we do need to look at when to be angry and when anger becomes a problem. James 1:19-21 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. We see there not that anger is bad but needs to be thought out. We are not called to jump to conclusions and become insanely anger at the smallest things. But rather to be aware and understanding of others. Here are the lyrics to the song Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Your Anger by Ha...

And good for you, I guess that you've been workin' on yourself I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped Now you can be a better man for your brand new girl 00:03:38 [Chorus] Well, good for you You look happy and healthy, not me If you ever cared to ask Good for you You're doin' great out there without me, baby God, I wish that I could do that I've lost my mind, I've spent the night Cryin' on the floor of my bathroom But you're so unaffected, I really don...

Hold tight, hold on The future's on its way Run hard, run strong The future's on its way It can't stop, it can't stop Here it comes Straight for you, head on Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Come on, Come on, Come on to the future Come all, Come all the way Come on, Come on, Come on to the future The future is arranged That is the bridge and chorus of the song Come on to the Future by Skillet . I would not call the song a masterpiece of lyrics but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from it. Overall, the song seems to be saying the future is here so don’t get left behind. Don’t worry about the past. Let’s look at Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. With that we see a call to move on from the past to live for Christ. S...

We recently looked at the song Unrivaled ( video here ). Let’s go back and look at that bridge. Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord our God Now, this idea that is taken directly from Psalm 150:6 is not surprising. We know we should be praising the Lord. Sometimes the issue is knowing. Because we know this is a good thing we don’t stop and think about it. We know there is a loving creator we know we are saved and yet we live our lives angrily, complaining about every small thing. Let’s take a small example of stubbing your toe. We often get angry and completely ignore God in the situation. When we could easily use it as a reminder that we have a toe and can praise Him for it. And if you don’t have a toe that probably also can lead you to be angry, but you can praise God for preventing you from ever experiencing stubbing your toe. It is so easy to be brought down by even the small things of this world. ...

Sorry, I fell behind this week but wanted to encourage you to spend some time reading some Psalms. Psalms 40:1-17 I waited patiently for the Lord;     he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction,     out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock,     making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth,     a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear,     and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes     the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud,     to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord my God,     your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;     none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of the...
