Bible Note: Dear Hank, I thank you for the compliments, but I must give the praise to God, who graciously grants me the wisdom.(James 1:5) He must have something for me to do, because I--honestly--had not even picked up a Bible since I was a child, but I ask God for wisdom when I read, and He makes it clear for me to understand. In agreement with you and CS Lewis, the things we do CAN do more to drive people FROM Christ, than our words can do to bring them TO Christ. That's what happens when people add their OPINIONS to what they THINK the Word should say. It is so good to have a fellow Southern Baptist(though we are first fellow Christians) here. We of the SBC get a bad rap for being starched and sullen(can you say "Bible-thumper?), but those criticisms come from people who go to more liberal churches, but don't want people to think they're "intolerant" or "mean", and thus look for a church that doesn't denounce certain sins of the World(abortion, homosexuality). As far as the subject of this thread, when Paul tells us to sing psalms in worship, the word "psalms" means playing a musical instrument. Some people just can't understand that. And to quote Revelations again, the angels and elders in heaven play harps and sing "a new song" in heaven itself. Literally. And yes, we will play music Up Yonder. And we'll understand it better by and by...:) PS: Thanks for the stars..:) May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
