    Ouch that hurts!

    I remember years ago when I was in the first flush of Christian zeal and part of a student group. We had just sang ‘Spirit of the Living God’ and the minister asked us ‘Do you realise what you have just sang and asked God to do?’

    I wonder when we pray for forgiveness and review our actions in a church setting whether we should then have a prayer before we sing our worship songs: ‘Lord forgive us- we are going to sing this stuff and we have no intention of doing any of it.’?

    Thanks for making me think (yet again).

    Yes. I compare the pretty songs we sing as sort of candy-coated medication. It seems to be the only way most of us are willing to say the things that need to be said: if they go down easy.

    Hah. I didn’t see the bottom text so when I saw it I thought it was Jesus leaving a note saying “I did it for you”. Personalizing it so to speak. Perception is a funny thing.

    We don’t want to die.

    That’s why He kills us off with His Word of Law…and in baptism (Romans 6).
