How to Become an Unashamed Christian
Musician
1 John 4:17-18,
“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love
casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect
in love.”
As a Christian musician you may be
wondering how it is possible that you could possibly stand at the day of
judgment without fear. 1 Peter 1:13-16
gives some brief instruction in what the
Christian can do to make this possible. “Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace
that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient
children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your
ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner
of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
Romans,” 5:5 explains that God makes
this hope possible when it states, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the
love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto
us.” However, it is our responsibility
to take control of our thought life. St.
Paul declared in Ephesians 6:14-17 Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet
shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked. And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…”
So, there are several things that
the Christian musician needs to do to become an unashamed Christian. We do not have to live a defeated Christian
life. It is a mistake to take the “poor
pitiful me” defeatist attitude about Christian living. God wants us to be proactive Christians. He wants to guard our hearts and our
minds. So, do not listen to Satan, or
Christians, who will whisper in your ear that you can not live a victorious holy
Christian life.
Thought for the Day
The Children
of Israel wondered around in the wilderness for 40 years, but they wouldn’t have
been necessary if they had listened to God.
I know He knew the way through the wilderness, but He also knew the way
around the wilderness.
