I’m having a “well, DUH” moment.
I just wanted to make a quick observation here. Singing songs to the Lord has a MUCH greater impact when you know the Bible. Maybe it doesn’t have an impact on God, but it certainly does on me.
Example. I’m reading I John for my devotional (I know, can you believe I’m having devotional time now?!? I’m pretty psyched) and it’s chock full of how Christians are different because we live a life of love. The flip side: if we don’t live a life of love, we should seriously examine the status of our salvation. But that’s for another post.
So, I was listening to Amy Grant (first time in a LOOONG time), and one of the lyrics just stopped me in my tracks: “They’ll know we are Christians by our love.”
I’ve heard this song a million times. I’ve sung along. I’ve led worship with it.
I’ve had no idea what I was talking about.
A man does not live on worship music alone, but on every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. That Jesus guy really knew what he was talking about.
