Is the party now or is it to come?

In this week’s video we looked at a two songs about different parties. One of those songs talked about dancing and one did not. There are the songs that come to my mind about dancing from Christian artists that I want to take a look at. Changes are pretty good you have not heard these songs before. The Victory Dance by Theocracy Dancing on the Head of the Serpent by Jerusalem Dancing in Heaven by Whitecross. We also see Psalms list dancing as part of the party we should be having. Psalms 149 Praise the Lord ! Sing to the Lord a new song,     his praise in the assembly of the godly! Let Israel be glad in his Maker;     let the children of Zion rejoice in their King! Let them praise his name with dancing,     making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;     he adorns the humble with salvation. Let the godly exult in glory;     let them sing for ...

It Takes More Than Words

Image
In a previous blog post I went through the song More thanWords by Extreme . Today I want to explore how we can apply those ideas to our spiritual life. In a quick review the idea behind the song is that saying I love you is not always the same as showing that love through action. In a biblical sense we are called to repent, this is as a result of our love of God. Deuteronomy 6:5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Mark 6:12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. Sometimes we fall into a trap that Satan has laid. We simply ask for forgiveness but do not change our desires or intentions. A definition that I have heard for repent is to have a change of heart about sin and about God. When we truly repent we have the desire to change our ways. We are committing to do everything we can to not fall again. We will fall. There are few things we can be more certain of. But we need to do acknow...

More Than Words - Extreme | Lyric Analysis

Image
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...
