All About You Lord

Michael D. Rourke The Glory of His Name 0 0

From a Team Pyro blog article on music in church, http://t.co/0OTMeFT4xO

A question was framed as to what are your thoughts on the conflicting music styles in churches. As the differences in age, values, styles and purpose have not been remedied the condition of the conflict seems unable to go away in many, but not all churches.

Meanwhile many young people are turning away. Their parents and grandparents are not setting a good example by turning away.

There have been many churches in my search that were not a good fit for me. In my second volume I expose the challenges of finding where the Holy Spirits leading led me to worship.

My suggestion is to stay in church and let’s pray our way out of our pity party.  Trust in the Lord. Worship in truth from the heart.

Michael D. Rourke said…

This cantankerousness is a perfect example of the perpetual sin problem since the fall. Conditions in this sinful world are so out of whack that this problem in the church may be like the world’s problems, unfix-able.

In the church, Christians are pointing to Scriptures to enforce their beliefs and or their opinions. So we have saved people, with a sinful nature, pointing to perfect scriptures, trying to please all the people. This condition may take time but we don’t have time, America’s youth are wasting away.

At this time I am attending in a church of 100 people that tries to blend the old hymns and their rich teaching doctrine with the repetitive mundane weak lyric younger style. On Sunday I see and hear the microcosm of what is the condition of our macrocosm American church. Strong worship is fading out of style.

When the hymns I love are sung I sing loud and my worship is more alive during that song. When the repetition starts I have found that in order to keep my worship strong during that song, I pray in silence. After many failed attempts at joining in I have found that I cannot bring myself to offer God less with those weak or say nothing lyrics.

Perhaps prayer may be the best alternative when someone isn’t able to join in. At a time in America when the last thing true Christians need is more division in our churches it seems so easy to say let’s pray.

All About You Lord

I took a breath, my eyes awoke, to my own pity party,                                                                                          I stood up, and I sat down, recalling, Jesus saved me,

Not about me, all about praise, gift of life, so many days                                                                                                All about You, Your  gift of love, You show the way, its All About You Lord

I went to work, saw sin corrupt, I had a pity party,                                                                                                              I looked down, I looked up, recalling, Jesus saved me,

Just stop and think,,, the truth is clear, why we are here, to give Him glory                                                                      The earth will die, the sea’s will dry, all knees will bow, all cry out loud, Jesus is Lord, All About You Lord

Not about me, all about praise, gift of life, so many days                                                                                                    All about You, Your  gift of love, You show the way, its All About You Lord

I went home, so much to do, I saw the pity party,                                                                                                               I held my head, I prayed to you, recalling, Lord Jesus You saved me

Just stop and think,,, the truth is clear, why we are here, to give Him glory                                                                       The earth will die, the sea’s will dry, all knees will bow, all cry out loud, Jesus is Lord, All About You Lord

Not about me, all about praise, gift of life, so many days                                                                                                      All about You, Your  gift of love, You show the way, its All About You Lord

 

Jesus said in Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
