Nap Time
Monday’s Music Moves Me
The theme this week is your choice, so I am going to take this opportunity to share music that is close to my heart and soul, gospel/inspirational music. The very purpose of gospel music is to honor the God of all creation and rejoice that heaven is the eternal destination of believers.
The Bible gives us the history of mankind. Genesis tells us where we came from and Revelation tells us where we are going. The truth is man has a soul and that soul will spend eternity somewhere. All of us are going to step into eternity some day and the only question is, “Are we prepared to step into the everlasting and where will we spend eternity.” Scripture tells us that those who refuse to believe that Christ is the only Son of God and will not accept Him as Savior will spend eternity in a place called hell. Those who acknowledge that Christ is the Savior, repent of their sinful behavior, and seek His forgiveness will depart this life and step into eternity to a place specially prepared for them by Christ Himself. In the third verse of the fourteenth chapter of the book of John, Christ tells the disciples, “…I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” A few verses later Christ declares, “I am the way, the truth and the life, and no man comes to the Father except through Me.” So by the mouth of the Savior Himself, there is only one way to heaven, and that is the truth. The unique thing about the truth is that it does not require us to believe something in order for it to be true. The truth is the truth, whether we believe it or not. God has provided us with the gift of eternal life and salvation through Jesus Christ and the choice is ours to accept that gift and spend eternity with the Creator and the promise that we will never shed another tear! Okay, I’m through preachin’ now. I’m going to let the most uplifting music in the world take it from here. Have a blessed week.

Musically, I enjoyed the last song, Red Letters, the most. I do enjoy some of the Christian rockers who have made it onto secular radio (Thousand Foot Krutch, Red, and Skillet), especially Skillet.

The harder edge of Christian Rock and rap are outside of my personal tastes, but if they reach people with the Gospel, then power to the message.

Digger,
I love these songs of inspiration showing God’s love for us through His son’s sacrifice on the cross. I just love ‘Flawless’. The chorus always gets me, ‘The cross is what made you flawless’. While I know I’m not flawless but I’m covered with Jesus’ blood. One day I’ll stand on that distant shore with Him and all those I loved gone before me. Thank you for sharing your faith and the declaration proclaimed through God’s word that eternity awaits us but it’s up to us to follow the right Master into the light instead of everlasting darkness & suffering. The choice sounds like an easy one but there are so many unwilling to see this simple truth. Jesus is calling, ‘Come as you are.’ I employ all to heed His pleas and surrender your all to Him! God bless you for sharing this on the dance floor today, my friend!

“Flawless” has been a favorite of mine since it was first released. Still, I like the message in the hymns and southern gospel arena.
