Church Shopping?

There are groups of people that don’t believe in “organized religion” and don’t see the value in being attached to any church assembly. Okay. But for those that realize the blessing of assembling with others of like precious faith, how did you arrive at the congregation where you now worship?

Let’s hope it was not for the following reasons…

1. Entertaining: The band plays hip Christian music, the preacher is so eloquent and energetic and you just feel so, well, entertained.

2. My family and friends have always attended: Fam and friends are there so it just makes sense. Plus it must be right if they are there.

3. Tolerance: They accept anybody. Meaning you can be a Christian and live any way you like and they won’t judge you or hold you accountable. They don’t bother me if I miss church. Overall loving family.

Let’s hope you are with this congregation for these reasons…

1. Sound doctrine. The beliefs, acts of worship, the things taught from the pulpit and in the classrooms are rooted in Biblical scripture and example. This is what makes it work. If your goal is to be in line with God’s word, you will be sure to worship where everyone else seeks the same thing.

2. Great godly workers. Every single part of the body of Christ must be actively working. They are all important. And they inspire others to good works. This helps the church grow.

3. Biblical leadership. Christ is the head of the church. The Bible highlights how the leadership structure should be. If it ain’t that, might want to re-examine things.

4. Family love. Rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep. Gentle rebuke of a brother who goes astray. Support and exhortation. We should be a family in Christ. Seek that.

You value worship and understand the weight that how you serve the Lord carries. You’re trying to get to heaven right? Make the effort to assemble with those of like precious faith.

Don’t just waste your life and afterlife just mindlessly sitting in the pew. Study your word to make certain you’re in the right place.

Just some friendly advice from your Christian Music Pusher.

You’re in the Right Place. Hang in There

http://bible.us/1/JHN6.67.KJV Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
Bible.com/app

When we experience hardship or have to deal with a hard teaching from God, we are faced with a decision. Leave God or stay with Him.

We get troubled and think we should bail on the one who saved us and loves us. I see it all the time.

But the answer is easy. Jesus’ Apostles realized that from Jesus there is nowhere else to go. That He indeed had the Words of eternal life.

Hang in there. Stay with Jesus and He will stay with you. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Just a quick thought from your friendly Christian Music Pusher.

Go and Sin No More

Our God is amazing for so many reasons. Yet one of the most important of these is His grace.

What does that mean? Grace.

It is something given to you although you do not deserve it. Nothing you or I can do merits this favor, mercy, grace.

We sin. Sin deserves death.

Consider the adultress in John 8

John 8:3-11 KJV

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

This woman deserved death but Jesus stepped in and saved her. I feel this parallels the way Jesus stepped in and saved us by dying on our behalf. Powerful!

But go and sin no more! Grace is not a free sin pass!

I am guilty of that and I’m sure we all struggle. But thanks be to Christ for His wonderful plan and grace…amazing grace indeed.

Music time! One of my favorite Kirk Franklin joints!

Lyrical Sunday Sermons – Isaac Carree “Chances”

Isaac sings of a dilemma many of us face trying to live the life of a Christian. We sin and put ourselves in harms way. Then we tell God something like, if you get me out of this, I will…

Then we do it again!

God has grace but we mustn’t use is as a pass to sin.

Romans 6:8-18 KJV

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

It will be a challenge and we have opportunity to be right with God as long as we have breath. But we must realize that our goal should be to live for Jesus to the very end.

Our chances run out at the end of this life.

Enjoy the song! Love, Christian Music Pusher.

Chant Down Babyon: Papa San

papasan

So in my desire for good music focused on Christ, I have thought about all the different kinds of music I like and wished for an artist like that. I came across Papa San looking at Kirk Franklin’s Gospocentric record label site. I’m not sure if he is still on that label, but I never bothered to listen to him until recently on Pandora. And this dude is GOOD! Not sure if I should trust Wikipedia, I just learned this guy was raised Rastafarian and converted to Christianity.

REGGAE GOSPEL? We mostly associate this genre of music with Rastafarianism which I researched in college for a music project. Reggae and specifically Bob Marley brought this belief system to the world thorugh this music. Now Christians have taken this style of music and are using it to glority Jesus.

Okay, I promised I wouldn’t talk too much on these blogs. Check out a few songs from Papa San that I came across and let me know what you think.

His most recent effort is called My Story which can be purchased at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/my-story/id514475722

Comments Please! What Would Jesus Tell Yeezus?

image

I waited and waited and even did a little research because I wanted top see if there was a logical explanation for this album title -to no avail. With a reputation for being vain firmly established, this now seems to be expected, especially when you run with one bold enough call himself hova. The response is a bunch of fans using disrespectful comments to praise this action. Anybody bothered?

Yeezus. Really?

Let’s entertain explanations. Which one gives one the right to try and put themselves anywhere near the creator? The alpha and omega? The all powerful?

None.

It’s not my call to judge but I will say it’s not safe. It’s too risky and highly narcissistic.

God has a special view of he who exalts himself. He humbles them. How fearful it is to be humbled by God. Trust me! I know!

But maybe he has a good explanation. Maybe I missed the point totally.

I am trying to be as non judgmental as possible here.

What would Jesus tell Yeezus about his album title? What are your thoughts?

Cmp out!
