This is really cool guys; it feels like I'm there with you all. I interject my comments every now and again haha I know what a Dork Ok so here is my comment, I’m a bit confused but let’s see if you can make some sense for me. So at the church I go to I sing and dance a little and instruments are being played, so does that mean I’m not a true Christian? Even the angels rejoiced and sang. Marvin says that the only type of worship is through mind, or spirit how is that the only way? I understand that there are people that act or overplay at church by falling out of their seats and running around the church screaming and yelling, but not all of us do that. I think that if the music speaks to you at church and you feel like dancing and singing then that’s what you should do, I don’t think you should compress the feeling and just stand there staring at the band and act as though the message isn’t speaking to you, that’s just as bad as running around the church yelling. If you decide to raise your hands and sing then that shouldn’t mean I’m not a Christian. Singing and dancing part of worship what’s so bad about it? Everybody’s relationship with god is different. On the comment of not saying stuff to people and keeping quiet, I think that you have to live the word and be the example before you can tell anybody anything. It’s ok to say stuff to people and preach but not judge people. I have family members from another religion that try to preach the word to me, but why would I want to listen to what they have to say when they’re holding a cup of rum and coke in their hand, or they are putting down their own family members. But I have learned that the best way to get anything across to someone is to be the example. Ok so now this thing about “foolish faith”. How can you go around living your life thinking that people are going to cheat you, hurt you, and lie to you and deceit you? To me that’s just a bitter person speaking, or like you you’ve hurt a lot before. Not to say that people don’t do that stuff. It’s like going to a restaurant and hoping that the people cooking your food hasn’t just poked their nose, scratched their butt and then made your food. Or going online to ebay, ordering something and hoping that you get your merchandise, or hoping that the money you just donated to the breast cancer fund is really going to the fund, getting married is a leap of faith. It’s all about hope and faith. But I truly believe that the Lord will protect you from people, music, and things that are going to bring you harm. I think that it is good to be cautious but not afraid. For example, I know that in some religions the people go house to house preaching the word of God and being cautious would be to go house to house in a group instead of just by yourself, and being afraid is not going house to house to share the word of God because you’re afraid of being shot or something haha. Have faith have faith!! I know that there is a lot of music out in the world that isn’t good for our neither mind nor spirit, and I agree with April when she said that she does her research about the song and artist. We need to be able to filter what goes in even if it is “Christian” music. But I think that if we take what it says in the bible and align it with what we listen to then we should be ok. ( "our God is an awesome God") One of my favorites, I used to always sing it in the shower haha Awesome!!!
Ok so I really enjoyed listening to your alls opinions and thoughts, keep up the good work!! Can't wait for the next one
