In my www perusing, I have found that many of the Christians who are geeked because AI contestants sang STTL, are excited because they seem to look at Christianity as an activist movement--and so, they are excited when <i>any</i> "positive" stuff happens, or they are angry that important things get left out--like Jesus words, etc. The inconsistency is too clear to point out. It is an interesting to note that in Acts 16, Paul becomes "annoyed" by the true statements of the demon-possessed slave-girl. His annoyance works in line with the purpose of God, and God releases her from demon possession. Perhaps there is a pattern here? When we come in contact with those who would speak some element of truth about God, but they do so for wrong reasons, and from an unbelieving heart, perhaps we should do our best to reveal the power of God to them--our rejoicing or our sorrow would be dependent upon what they did with God's powerful gospel. Somewhat of an aside--and part of my quirky mind: IMHO, the people who are either "upset" or "elated" for the reasons Josh mentioned above are often the same type of people who said "Yeah, that Kathy Griffin owes us an apology for her Emmy comments"--similar to this: ('http://www.miracletheater.com/theatertakesstand.html'). Instead of confronting Kathy Griffin with the power of the Gospel of God, they wanted her to apologize to the Christian victim rights board--I'm not sure who heads that up (perhaps Paul Crouch Jr.--see miracletheater's website). When, what she needed to do was to turn in faith & repentance to Christ--which would be apology enough... Maybe if Chris Sligh had been singing this...oh that was the other season... Hi Brian,
interesting quotes. In my www perusing, I have found that many of the Christians who are geeked because AI contestants sang STTL, are excited because they seem to look at Christianity as an activist movement–and so, they are excited when any “positive” stuff happens, or they are angry that important things get left out–like Jesus words, etc. The inconsistency is too clear to point out.

It is an interesting to note that in Acts 16, Paul becomes “annoyed” by the true statements of the demon-possessed slave-girl. His annoyance works in line with the purpose of God, and God releases her from demon possession. Perhaps there is a pattern here?

I know from my studies (I am a Biochemist) that the body is a VERY complicated machine and is a marvel in it's own right!! My best friend who is a very strong believer in God is coming with me, he is a Med student, and he is always trying to help me see God!

In other words, ethnic styles and amalgamation of them into the church is biblical; however, ethnicity and culture are not the same because a culture can contain sinful elements. Therefore, one must determine if the practice he is about to bring into the church is just part of the ethnic group he is dealing with (e.g. African church music vs. American Fundamental Baptist Church Music) or if the the element is a part of their culture that they, themselves avoid or are cautious about because they believe it to be sinful (i.e. Most conservative pastors in the African continent will tell you that they know a line not to cross in their worship services because there are certain elements of their cultural music that they do not want in their churches). I have heard this argument proposed lately and I was wondering if you had heard it before and what you thought about it or even if it applies to the topic at hand. Thanks!

While the truth of the song always resonates with hearts that have experienced grace, it cannot alone warm hearts that are not already inclined toward God. At least it hasn't for the past two hundred years. Thanks for posting. I felt the way that I feel every time “Amazing Grace” is sung in the secular public.

I enjoyed how you addressed some very relevant concerns and causes for stress and dissatisfaction and then narrowed the focus to personal struggles and dissatisfactions in the introduction. The idea of struggling with God's sovereignty resonated well with me this week. I often find myself struggling with God's sovereignty in my life, not insofar as I doubt the empirical/theological sovereignty of God (i.e. God knows my struggle), but I often find my self doubting the emotional/personal sovereignty of God (i.e. God cares and will act in my behalf). I don't know how many times I have told people, "God knows exactly what you are going through right now" or "God is using this in your life" and found that it had little to no effect on them. I find that most Christians don't really doubt that God is sovereign in the sense that He controls all things and is working in our lives, but most Christians question God's love in His sovereignty. In other words, I rarely find myself asking "CAN God lead me through this valley" and more often find myself asking "WILL He lead me through this valley?" Jesus confronted this struggle on many occasions. On one occasion, when teaching concerning prayer, Christ told his disciple to pray, not because God can answer prayer, but because God wants to answer prayer ("Which of you, if your child asks for bread will give to him a stone...?"). The same goes for the parable of the widow and the unjust judge. The widow does not question the judge's sovereignty or ability to grant the request, she, rather, doubts the judge's love and goodness. In summary Jesus indicates that if this evil judge will answer a persistent petitioner, how much more a good God? Jeremiah (29:11-14) does not question if God COULD deliver Israel from captivity, but if He WOULD. Our struggle with God's sovereignty seems to be rooted in doubts of God's loving and caring character. My personal struggle with biblical contentment is often a battle to reclaim the belief in the goodness of God while maintaining the greatness of God, His sovereignty tempered with His love. Thanks for your reminder to find my satisfaction in Christ this week and to reject the unholy thoughts of dissatisfaction in what our God provides! PS - Sorry about all the random thoughts...just me using some personal growth lessons in my life recently along with the applications in your sermon and how they applied to me.

My wife and I left our position in missions nearly five years ago. Since then we have been praying, hoping and faithfully serving in our local church. Our plan (emphasis on "our") was to be ministering on a different field within one year. God chose to lead us down a different path. While I wince whenever someone says it "Moses was in the desert 40 years"; how's that for encouragement? Moral - God chooses to do with us what he will; stay faithful all the way! Good reminder.

I can't tell you how many "Christians" I've talked with who "thought" they were saved, because they could remember saying a prayer, only to realize later that they had never repented of their sins and placed their faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Bad word choice can be dangerous. This post was excellent.

Having left a very, very conservative ministry a few years back and church, in Greenville, SC, I have found the music in most churches is very different. For the first time I have been exposed to what most would call a blend of traditional and CCM music. I had to study this out for myself as I was exposed to not just the music, but other believers who actually love God, but who see music differently than I was raised. I appreciate your honest look at the 'beat' of music because for years I was taught much of what you shared. After all my research and reading, I feel similiarly to what you have shared. While most Rock music is not what I would consider acceptable, and while a lot of CCM music I do not accept for myself, I no longer can just write a blank check and write them all off. Life just isn't so black and white and there are good Godly Christians who see things differently. I appeciate your honest look. I If we as believers were more honest with the scriptures and hence we would end up being more consistent, the world perhaps would be more drawn to the Gospel message. Unfortunately, much of our do's and don't's are not consistent in the light of scripture and the world sees that and discounts the what is so clear in the Word. Best wishes.

Will be praying this week for the Pastor Heinze and the family at Red Rocks. You are signing up for a fantastic journey. There is nothing like the ministry of a pastor-teacher, a first among equals. The challenges are larger than life. The rewards are out of this universe! Call me anytime if you want to chat about "life on the other side." :) Straight Ahead! Phil 3:12-14 Joel Tetreau Brian,
