‎“If secular song lyrics appear with more frequency on your facebook than scripture, you might be Lukewarm[Rev3:16]“

Luke 6:45

[ 6:45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.]

Let me first say I am not exacting a complete prohibition for people using secular songs as bookmarks in certain chapters in their life, its simply a catalyst statement. What I do want to put witness to is our need to point everything in our lives back to Christ.

I stated “…with more frequency…”, meaning, I see a huge problem when “christians” relate their lives more to the secular worlds wisdom, which is wisdom of the flesh as opposed to Gods wisdom.

I believe there is nothing in the secular world and its thoughts, philosophy and or wisdom, nor anything in a secular song that the bible has not already covered, yet covered with more sovereign grace and truth than  any piece “art, poetry” the world may offer.

Revelation 12:11 says:
11And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

As “Christ-ians” if we only approach life as the world, than the world will not approach life as Christ.

Modern “Christians” fail to consistently to share their own testimony, let alone “Gods Testamant”.

We have avenues like facebook, mysace and blogs where we can be an overwhelming light in the dark yet we fail to use them for this purpose. We are more satisfied blending in and drowning our sorrows in way of identification to the world.

As 2 Tim 4:3 says:

³For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

The world is always teaching us something, affirming something! And instead of Rising up in Christ often we find things which will suit our mood or fancy for the moment.

I picked on song lyrics becuase I see this generation putting every event of their life to music, always accompanied by an emotional statement from some song. But Gods word doesnt not always empathize with you.

He wants all of you, or he has none of you.

Rise up church, Your God is reliable. Find peace, strength, hope, joy, fullfillment, and love in Him, even when its hard, dont wallow in self or feelings, they will always betry you, and learn to use all of these sources of media and outlet to let Him shine through you.
