So I think someone needs to sit all of the "Christian" mainstream artists down and give them a good slap. That's just a random thought. here's the blog. woot
I just read through my notes from class and a song that my friend wrote came to mind. The main "punchline" of the song is "what good is faith without deeds?" I agree that faith is no good without deeds but as we discussed in class, faith without deeds isn't faith. I think. But I also think that a lot of people focus on the wrong deeds or life habits, especially here at Huntingdon. I see the same pattern within a certain, nameless group. They like to claim to be Christians and I believe they understand the ideas of Christianity and they try to model their lives after Christ. Both of these are good things. The reason I bring them up isn't because of that though. These people also tend to be the most judgmental people I have ever met. They judge others for cussing, sexual immorality, drinking (under or of age), and many more. I guess the point I'm trying to make is there is one deed that, in my opinion, must be done to truly "faith." One must love unconditionally and love everyone. I don't like to think of it as "no sin is greater than the next." I like to think that "no deed is better or worse than the next." In my opinion, you are either loving or not. I don't see a gray area on that.

You make some great points.Love must be included in order to truly "faith." With that love comes the works that portray our different lives as Christians. Praise songs can't mask the fact that many of us are failing at faithing.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to use that last line. It's very deep and spot on. Thank you.
