In the winter time my Dad always used to say, “It’s a lot easier to wipe the sweat off my brow than the snow on the sidewalk.”

Making Music
February 5, 2012

On a lovely summer evening, a capacity crowd gathered in a beautiful outdoor venue for a concert by one of my college friends. It happened to be his birthday, so the emcee hinted that we might want to sing “Happy Birthday” to him. One by one, people started singing, each in a different key, each at a different tempo. As the jumble of notes and words joined together, the result was, well, less than harmonic. It wasn’t even melodious. It was in fact downright pitiful. When my friend took the stage, he gave us another chance. He didn’t give us the pitch, but he did give us a downbeat, so at least we were singing together. By the end of the song most people were somewhat close to the same key.

The noise that was supposed to be a song reminded me of a problem in a first-century church. They couldn’t agree on their leader. Some followed Paul; others Apollos (1 Cor. 3:4). The result was conflict and division (v.3). Instead of music, they were making noise. When people don’t agree on a leader, they all “sing” (I’m speaking metaphorically here) at the pace and pitch most comfortable for them.

To make beautiful music that will attract unbelievers to Jesus, all believers must follow the same leader, and that leader must be Christ.

Lord, give us wisdom. We know it’s good to follow
the example of our godly leaders, but help us not to
think so highly of them that we worship them
instead of You. Amen.

Keeping in tune with Christ keeps harmony in the church.

Read: 1 Corinthians 3:1-17

Be filled with the Spirit, . . . singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. —Ephesians 5:18-19

Bible in a year:
Numbers 1-3

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

The treasures of the crystal snows,
And all the wonders nature shows,
Speak of a mighty Maker’s hand
That all in love and wisdom planned.

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

You’re welcome, Kitty.
I simply did almost nothing in January and kept “the back” from being so angry with me! I even managed a trip by myself to the grocery store without it screaming..I am VERY thankful! (((HUGS)))
My to do list is long..but I am in no hurry. It’s all waited this long.

My Sheep Hear My Voice, and I Know them, and they Follow Me:
And I Give unto them Eternal Life; and they Shall Never Perish,
Neither shall Any Man Pluck them Out of My Hand.
My Father, which Gave them Me, is Greater than All;
And No Man is Able to Pluck them Out of My Father's Hand.

(Jn.10:27-29)

A Blessed Lord's Day to Amy's Place
