Christmas Blues

The history of American music finds its roots in what we call today blues. Country music finds its beginnings in bluegrass. Those songs of this world tell of the valleys in life, and the songs were a reflection of how they dealt with the hardships, thus "Blues", feeling blue, lowness, sadness, bluegrass, it is how they coped by singing. Christian music on the other hand almost always begins in the valley as well, for we have sadness and heartache being people too, BUT the kicker is, when we sing, the end of our songs ALWAYS end on a Mountain...Amen!!! I say Glory to Jesus. He is the reason for the season,,,"Go tell it on the Mountain!"

Whom is your master?

                                              Whom is your master?                                            

So many in this world feel they are beholden unto none....but the harsh reality is we all serve someone! If we are Christians, Bible reading, born again, blood washed Christians we know that we are not our own, for we were bought with a price! We are slaves and servants of the most high King, and Jesus is his name! If we say "it Is my life I can do with it as I ...please" then we serve self and the flesh which in reality is serving sin, and the devil whom is the father of sin! A true Christian does not serve self, because we follow Christ example and sacrifice our life for the benefit of others, such as a spouse needs, or children desires, or even neighbors.  Gods plan has structure and substance which you cannot find anywhere else in this chaotic world. Children are subject to there parents (Col 3:20), but oh the love and joy that is exchanged - its not a task master type relationship. The wives in turn are subject to there husbands (Eph 5:24)- nor is this a task master with a whip relationship, but one of love and joy as well. To the men, the husband is subject unto God in how he leads his home. I can testify that walking with God by example is one of the greatest joys I have ever been afforded. There is no greater walk in this world to be found. We are all subject unto Gods will and structured plan. And in that solace you will find peace and joy, and true happiness knowing all else in the world is mass disarray and turmoil! So the question remains.....whom is your master? whom do you serve? There is no in between! No purgatorial stand can be made here on these grounds, you are either for God or against him!

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24
