Christian Music and the Beauty of the Church: Part 2


Music is beautiful. God lives in beautiful art. He speaks in it. He speaks through it and he transforms people in it. Perhaps we should be people who are seeking truley beautiful things more than christian things. the word christian has lost it's meaning. Maybe we need to find ways of helping people be followers of jesus and then using their gifts to create beautiful music.



The idea of church may be much the same as the word christian.
church (read IC) is not real. It is not christian. Oddly, it might be said that a church cannot be christian, only a people. How do you see it?
When the church is beautiful? Relationships.
Programs are seldom truly beautiful. they are boring. They are redundant. they are not christian.
Relationships are never boring nor redundant and they can be christian.

The places I've seen God move are in the people in my community. It's over a meal, a game, or manual labor at someones house. I've been seeing this a lot recently.
Life really is beautiful in relationship.
