This was one of the focal points of the Ladies Bible Study on Tuesday. I love it when God does this!!

Good to hear from you Steve! We are venturing past basketball in this discussion – big step!

Writing music to God is the highest call and the highest reward. I agree, we could learn a lot by looking back.

Wisdom from Coach Steve here hahaha

Don’t get me wrong I love todays music but as a classicaly trained musician I also recognize that the early hymn writers like for instance J.S. Bach wrote for one reason and one reason only. The worship of our Lord. There were no Dove awards or other ways to get national recognition. They didn’t care about album sales, market analysis, awards or concert ticket sales and merchandising.

They wrote music directly to God. I think some of the artist today are more concerned with the money and business side of things and after awhile that tends to be the force that drives a person or group. Maybe we could learn a thing or two by looking back at why the famous hymns are still around after 100-200 years. There is a reason for that.

Great stuff!

Thank you for this post… I struggle with guilt when doing joyful, seemingly “purposeless” things. I appreciate your thoughts.

Mr Sage,

I was one of the kids. I will always remember the FBI agent with the watch (gold?) who talked with me at the prison we went to after escaping. Pumpkin pie and FBI agents, what else could I want!

I second the heroics of Ray the bus driver and others. That could have gone very wrong but they stood up and made a difference. It was close.

I prefer to remain anonymous. I thank you and the other law enforcement men and women who responded. Not so easy on your families.

Based on your lead in, I was poised to argue vehemently against your position, but I can find no fault. I agree wholeheartedly.

I believe Mr. Patterson has allowed the children to lead the parade long enough. Looks like he is ready to assert his position on the team and it should be really fun to watch.

Thanks for your insights Jackie.

Cindy, your explanations makes the Wednesday night schedule make a little more sense.

Keith, I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with honoring people’s gifts, but we should beware of “crossing the line” into idolization. This is true for pastor-personalities too.

Good article. The big issue is this.. why does the CCM industry create and elevate idols instead of equipping servants? Nothing wrong with a pat on the back for a job well done, but these artists are simply puppets of the CCM machine.

The music reformation is here, and indie is trendy!
