Harmony

Wrong key. During lockdown I have been posting video clips on TiKTok. I read the Bible and sing. Once a week my sister and I get together and record duets, These we put on various media platforms including TikTok. I like the fact that others can record a duet with you, we have had a few people sing with us on one particular song. ' 'The garden" Today as I was looking through my notifications I saw some one had 'dueted’ with us on a keyboard. But, 0, it did not sound good as he was playing in a different key. Pamela and I tend to lower the key when we sing, as we both now struggle to reach the high notes, I thought about this, how we adjust the key to our own personal preference, and how many people who claim to be “Christian" do the same with God’s Word. The religious leaders at the time of Jesus, would not believe Him, He warned them many times, but they would not listen, even though they had the scriptures, that they could check His words and actions with. 

John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

How many in these days are not singing from the same song sheet, and yet they want to be united with those who are. We are to be a discerning people, we are to study the scriptures and live our lives according to God's word, not man's false interpretation of it. If what we hear from the pulpit doesn't line up with God’s Word then we should walk away from that denomination. Pamela and I choose the key we want to sing in to suit our voices. You can't do that with Christianity. You can't choose the bits you like in the Bible and leave the rest. You can't decide on its meaning so it fits in with your sin lifestyle. You will be out of tune. You will not be in tune with God, you will be singing your own tune.

The True Light

Pamela returned to the subject of colour again at the Salvation Army Tuesday meeting, it was most informative and encouraging but I am not going to go into detail as she has decided to start a blog herself, From Darkness to Light. But one thing that she did say that I found interesting was that the sun has all the colours of a rainbow in it even though it may look yellow, or red or orange. So my thoughts took me to the sun of which there is no substitute should it go out we've had it!

I wonder how many people would rather sit under a heat lamp, or a lamp for a sun tan than go out and enjoy the sun, on a bright sunny day would we really shut the curtains and put the artificial lamp on to see by, that would be absurd.

But how many people would rather search after and follow a false light rather than Jesus who said,

 John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

There is only one true light, all other light is but a substitute for the truth, it doesn't matter whether you meditate,  study mindfulness and new age teachings, go to yoga, visit mediums (all of which teach a false light) the Bible warns us about such things and tells us that in fact all these things are not from God but from the powers of darkness, the devil is a deceiver and he can masquerade as an angle of light,

2 Corinthians 11:14 Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

If your light has led you to anything other than God’s word and the Lord Jesus then it is a false light, don’t close the curtains and make do with an imitation, accept Jesus Christ as you Saviour and you will not only receive light but you will be true light for others to see. 

Ephesians 5: 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
