Psalm
59:2 states, “Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody
men. For, lo, they lie in wait for my
soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my
sin, O LORD.” Although we do not like to
dwell on anything negative the world is not, and has never been, a friend of
grace. Every Christian musician must be
aware that he or she will either be a leader or they will by default become the
victim of some other leadership.
My
wife and I were walking the other day at Northgate Mall and a lady started
walking with us. After some small talk
my wife immediately began to thank the Lord for His goodness to us. The lady said that she had been raised a
Baptist but she was now a “pagan”. I
think she was without doubt mixed up on her terminology but I was impressed
that my wife did not let her dominate the conversation when it came to
spiritual matters.
A Christian has the choice to make of either
letting non-Christians control the conversation or to lead by proclaiming the
name of Jesus even when it is not popular to take a stand. If a Christian continually keeps silent when
the name of God is reviled or made light of, that Christians faith becomes
damaged. So, stand up for Jesus, and
Satan will have to withdraw and Jesus your advocate will stand up for you!
