What Am I Singing?

I attended a seminar not too long ago.

And was shocked by the amount of human wisdom that was being preached by a respected speaker.

The topic was "How Post-Modernism Is Affecting Worship in Churches Today"
At the end of it, I could only agree with 10% of what was mentioned on the pulpit.

However, that 10% is enough to trigger a thought in me recently.

What exactly are we singing today?

Wonderful songs have been in our worship repertoires week-in and week-out.
Their lyrics are more often than not,
Speaking of complete surrenders and desperate love for God.
Their lyrics move through our lips like water gushing out from a fireman's hose.

Yet are we really meaning what we sing?
Are you?
Am I?

"Lord...I live for You alone...have Your way in me"
"I want to see Your face..."
"It's all about You"

This is cliche, but let's not deceive ourselves and think God is alright with it.

To live for Christ alone will mean enemy with the world.
To want to see His face will demand us to live a sinless life.
To say our life is all about God is to deny ourselves of all freedom to be carnal.

Do we know what we are singing?

Are we really ready to mean what we sing?

Do we at least want to mean what we sing?

I am glad we had a wonderful time of sharing at cell tonite...it was wonderful.
I was reminded of how much I need to learn to mean what I sing...

And mean it with how I live my life.

The Christian life on earth is not as much about how we bask in the joy and service in the house of God...
Than it is about how much we must live for Christ in life's daily drudgery, in the midst of all our non-Christian friends and acquaintances.

To not realise this will be fatal to any Christian.

I must awake.

Join me if you need to as well.
