The Power of Christian Music

All music is a powerful tool that can uplift, inspire, and influence us in ways we may not even realize. As Christians, it’s important to consider the impact that the music we listen to can have on our faith journey. Choose Christian music versus secular music. Here is why!

Secular Music and Its Impact on Our Faith Journey

While secular music can be catchy and entertaining, it often promotes values and messages that are not in line with Christian beliefs. Many secular songs glorify materialism, sexual promiscuity, and violence, which can desensitize us to the negative effects of these behaviors and erode our moral values.

Furthermore, secular music often fails to acknowledge the spiritual dimension of life, which is central to the Christian faith. It can be easy to get caught up in the superficiality of the lyrics and miss out on the deeper meaning and purpose that our faith offers.

Living According to God’s Will: Mindful Listening to Music

As believers in Jesus, we are called to set ourselves apart from the world and live according to God’s will. This includes being mindful of the music we listen to and seeking out music that aligns with our values and beliefs. Christian music offers a powerful alternative that not only uplifts our spirits but also helps us to deepen our relationship with God.

Christian Music as a Form of Worship

Listening to Christian music can also be a form of worship (“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.” – Psalm 96:1), as we sing praises to God and express our gratitude for His love and grace. It can be a powerful reminder of the hope and salvation that we have through Jesus, and can inspire us to live more fully in His love. “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” – Colossians 3:16

In conclusion, while secular music can be enjoyable, it’s important for believers in Jesus to be mindful of its potential impact on our values and beliefs. By choosing to listen to Christian music, we can nourish our souls and deepen our faith, ultimately drawing closer to God and living more fully in His love.

God is still unchanging in 2023

Praise and worship is what He deserves

Uncertainty starting the New Year, but God is still the same

The Year has started and you may feel uncertain of what 2023 may bring. Some of you may have created a vision board and written down your goals and you are pumped and motivated to see these things come true. That is wonderful, but there will always be curves on the road. On this, you can always count on us our unchanging God to be there for you always.

The Bible tell us that God is unchanging and always the same. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” He is always just, loving, merciful, and holy. He is always faithful and true to His promises. Our Creator is always sovereign and in control. Because of this He is always worthy of our worship and praise. God’s character and nature do not change.

Many things in this world change and are uncertain, but God never changes. He is the rock that we can stand on, the anchor that keeps us steady, and the refuge that we can run to in times of trouble. In a world that is constantly in flux, it is a great comfort to know that God is always the same.

Some people may have different opinions or beliefs of what God is like, but the Bible tells us God’s nature is unchanging. He is the same loving, merciful, and just God that He has always been. He is the same God who created the world and everything in it, and He is the same God who sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins.

This unchanging nature of God means that we can rely on Him and trust Him, no matter what is happening in the world around us. It means that we can be confident in His love for us and in His ability to work all things together for our good.

In a world that is constantly changing, it is a great comfort to know that God is always the same. We can rely on Him and trust Him no matter what is happening in the world around us. So let us rest in the unchanging nature of God, and trust in His love, mercy and grace.
