How often do we hear songs, learn the words so that they are second nature to them, and then spew them every week in church as part of the regularities that occur? Well...I think quite a lot...
When was the last time we thought about what it is that we sing on a sunday. What it is that we are confessing to on a Sunday?
For me this is quite an issue. Where I work, I listen to christian 'worship' albums 7-8 times a day sometimes varying, sometimes it's the same album time after time!!! And I become de-sensitised to what it is that I subscribe to as a faith. I lose a sense of genuinity and just find everything that I hear and see contrived, false and quite honestly...plastic!
God is the ALMIGHTY...as a good friend of mine said...not the ALMATEY. Has christianity got too cosmo? Has it crashed through the sensible barriers of consumerism? Are christians more consumed with pushing books, cd's and dvd's from shelves than delivering a spiritually reputable message?
I'll leave that one out there.
Love God through all the sh*t...there's a concept. That's what we're called to do is it not? Not just when things are going our way. Whether prayer is answered or not...still love God.
Still love God.
It's harder than it looks.

We talked about this at millmead - how much do we mean the words we sing? We are to be accountable to God for everything we do and see...therefore be careful what you sing, because God will call you to be accountable to it!
Love God through everything...yep hard, but Job managed to do it and he wasn't sinless. With Gods sustaining Grace and by saturating in His word - its doable.
Good post btw!
