Eternal Damnation

-

This week’s video was about Easy On Me, but what else can we pull from it?

If we look just at the chorus we see repentance and a plea for forgiveness.
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me

This is far from a Christian example but there are elements in here that I think we can connect with.
We have all sinned & know there are consequences for our actions. In particular – that our sins deserve eternal damnation.
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death

When you know punishment is deserved you do not ask for it to be completely removed but rather that it be lightened; that the other person would go easy on you.

In many cases on earth another human will not listen to this request, especially when given such a large number of excuses. But from The Heavenly Father no excuse is necessary because the price has been paid.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Not only are we not punished but we are given gifts in this life and after it.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

More Than Words - Extreme | Lyric Analysis

-

Last week I released a video on the song Shy Away and I talked about the idea that you can use something other than words to say I love you. To me this brings to mind the song More than Words by Extreme. So let’s take a look at that. Verse 1 Saying "I love you" Is not the words I want to hear from you It's not that I want you Not to say, but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel More than words is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already know This verse does feel a little disconnected but overall the point is made. The singer desires to feel the love and saying it is fine but actions speak a little louder than words. The point here is that it is easy to show that love and as the love is shown you don’t have to say I love you as often. The Chorus has two parts. What would you do if my heart was torn in two? More than words to show you feel That your love for...

Why Think

I personally believe you should think about anything before you do it. If you find yourself doing it simply because someone told you to then that is not good enough. I also believe that you shouldn’t ask anyone to do anything without explaining why to them. You are free to do what you want but let’s look at some reason that singing should not be simply repeating other things. First, let’s define singing. Dictionary.com gives us the definition as a verb of to utter words or sounds in succession with musical modulations of the voice; vocalize melodically. I personally like the definition given in The Music Man where singing is simply defined as sustained talking. Are you held responsible for the words you say? Have you ever said something and then regretted it? If singing is simply talking then the same concepts apply. Words have meaning and consequences. And it is not uncommon to hear someone tell someone else to think before you speak, so why is singing any different? ...
