Insight from our Singing - part 8

"You need this car."
"This pair of headphones was created with you in mind." 
"Everyone else has one but you."
"You are not anyone unless you have this stereo."
"Everyone will notice you when you wear these sunglasses."

Every day we hear hundreds of thoughts that tell us that this world is a place that was here for our existence and pleasure.  We think from a very early age that the world revolves around us and that everyone else is here for our pleasure.  Honestly, we all want the world to revolve and think that when people disagree with us, they are clearly not on board with the program! 

We need a corrective to this, and for many that corrective is the golden rule. Our president recently cited this rule to accommodate immorality.  The problem is that the golden rule will not ultimately solve our problem because at the end of the day we use the golden rule to correct the behavior of those around us because we have not fundamentally solved the problem at the core of who we are.

This is why we need songs like "All Glory Be to Christ."


Should nothing of our efforts stand, no legacy survive,
Unless the Lord does raise the house, in vain its builders strive.
To you who boast tomorrow's gain, tell me what is your life?
A mist that vanishes at dawn, all glory be to Christ.

His will be done, His kingdom come, on earth as is above,

Who is Himself our daily bread, praise Him the Lord of love.

Let living water satisfy the thirsty without price

We'll take a cup of kindness yet, all glory be to Christ.

When on the day the great I am, the Faithful and the True,

The Lamb who was for sinners slain is making all things new.

Behold our God shall live with us and be our steadfast light,

And we shall e'er his people be, all glory be to Christ.

You see, it is not about me.  Or you.  It is all about Christ.  May we live the truth of this song and live to bring honor and glory to Christ alone.
