"More like falling in love than something to believe in
More like losing my heart than giving my allegiance"
That is part of a song that playing on the Christian radio station!
This song goes against scripture. This is just part of the chorus but the whole song is like this.
Let's take "more like falling in love than something to believe in" anybody else see something really wrong with that? If that is true what do we make of when Paul says "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved." Acts 16:31. Or in John 6:47 where Jesus says, " Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life." I think that's pretty clear that it IS something to believe in.
"more like losing my heart than giving my allegiance" anything wrong with that one???
I looked up allegiance in the thesaurus and here are some other words that mean the same thing,dedication, devotion, duty, faithfulness, fidelity, obedience, and obligation. Those are only some of what they listed. There are many scriptures that say we need to do these things! Don't you want to? For what Christ has done for us, this is all he asks for in return. Granted it is hard. But he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Anyways. I could say a lot more..but those are my thoughts on this song. I just can't stand to listen to it on what they call a Christian radio station.
Nice critique. There is a lot of stuff on Christian radio that is questionable. And the Christian life is like falling in love, but it is believing, too; and it's not a losing of heart but a gaining of heart, and a giving of heart in allegiance to God.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Its just the phrase "falling in love" that I have the issue with. Its not the mushy gushy love that people think of when they hear that phrase. Its a deeper love, agape love! Loved how you changed losing my heart to gaining of the heart and the giving of the heart!
