There are many mysteries in this world. You only have to look at a baby to
know that you don't know everything. Gravity keeps us on this rock and not flying off into space, yet I've never heard anyone
explain why the laws of centrfugal force are broken just to make me weigh too much.
Music is one of the mysteries of this world. It can soothe as well as excite. It can help you sleep or wake you up. It
can tell a story and it can betray emotions.
The christian bible tells us in Colossians 2:16 that all things were created by God. All things include music. The song,
Amazing Grace, written by John Newton seem to be the greatest song ever written. The tune came from the bowels of the slave
traders ships and the words came from a slave trader, turned minister. This song crosses time, being written hundreds of years
ago. It crosses national lines as well as cultural and ethinic lines. God took one of the darkest times in mans history,(there
have been many), and created a song to glorify Him forever, or at least until time as we know it ends.
The music of the Native American style flute has been given to Sandy and I as a gift from God. He has used this simple
whistle to heal our broken marriage and our broken hearts. He has also used it to draw us closer to Him than we have
ever been. This should come as no suprise, God has always used music to glorify Himself.
The evidence of God is clear and all around us. The evidence that the bible is the word of God is also clear, however
if you never look at the evidence and only go by what another has said, you will never know the truth. To know the truth you
must look at the evidence for yourself.
The offer made in the christian bible, the book of John, chapter 3, verse 16, is still being honored. It says,
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that who soever believes in Him should not perish, but have
eternal life".
Look at the evidence and make up your own mind. Time is short, seize the day. |
