Naut, great video. Yes, do not judge others lest you be judged, just live your life for Him, and, your life will do all the talking as He speaks tnrough you, God spoke through all the authors of the Bible, every word is from God. We are to hear the Word to increase our faith so we can be the light as Jesus tells us we are designed/created to be a light to the world as Jesus was a light to this fallen world.
naut, everything you do, yes, your music too, is between you and Him, your whole life is a holy , Spirited ride, living and walking and jumping and, who knows, maybe even, flying, for Him, with Him, in Him.
'What about now?'
That is a great question for us all, as the song chorus repeats in this video. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and, forevermore. He Loves you same as He Loved Joseph, David, let Him.
God is Love. The Holy Spirit IS in your temple once you believe and receive, Christ peeps. What about now?
Is God asking you this question in your life, now? It's a better than GOOD thing IF He is, it means you're ready for now. And, if not ready, don't sweat it, just keep following Him, don't worry and judge like Peter was doing to Judas in John 20:21. 'If I let Him continue following, what is that to you?'
What did Jesus (who already died and arose from the cross) say next to Peter?

Naut, this thread shows me God is starting to move in you, with conviction, this is what God does, he sees a heart with knowledge and understanding of Him and moves them through 'it.'
I am praying for you , to use all your idiosyncrasies and understandings of music, as He leads, your ideas of what's good and not good that people listen to, to be a light, showing the attenuations of lyrics gone bad in your mind can be replaced by good ones of God, that Jesus takes The wheel of you. So, you are changed. So, you can say, 'What About Now, God? Can you hear me now, Lord? I am now enjoying my music, every word I listen to, for You.'

There's something about this video that reminds me of this passage :
MARK 10:17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”
20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

Its funny that today I was thinking if there was any one accumplishment I did in my life that people would remember me by it would be that I practiced loveing people uncondictionaly. Then a few hrs later I came accross this thread. It would not be how much money I made or how big my house was,( if I had a big house and incime). Or if I found a cure for all diseaseis. Without Love you are not Living your life you are only exesting.
It could be because I've been more cynical for the past week or so, but I didn't see the video as particularly profound, more like one more annoying piece that harps on a misperception built on another misperception.
Here's the thing: we Christians tend to be critical of ourselves and other Christians because we are comparing ourselves to an ideal (which is good). The trouble at the end of the day is seeing the good in fellow Christians.
Yes, Christians judge. Yes, Christians hurt people. This is, ladies and gentlemen, is because they are people and fallen like anyone else. That said, I don't see this massive problem of no love in my fellow Christians. Why? Because they understand the nature of Love and how it is God's unifying principle. They know what it means to be forgiven and redeemed. Perhaps some forget.
Have I seen shallowness? Plenty. Showmanship at the expense of authenticity? I wouldn't know where to begin. Church culture raised above the standard of faith? Mmhmm. But a tremendous loss of overt love? No.

Nautilus, I want to thank you for posting this video. It is really excellent. I agree that too many people in this world think that they can change others. I am very enthusiastic about studying theology, which leads to many doctrinal disagreements. In the past, it would cause me a great deal of frustration with those around me. It definitely took a conscious effort and lots of prayer to realize that I CANNOT CHANGE ANYONE. In fact, as you probably have gathered from posts i've made and you have responded to, that I believe God determines everything. So while I definitely enjoy a good debate, I also realize, that it is pointless to try to push your beliefs on those around you.
That being said... And from your posts, I have gathered that you are not a Christian. Again, this is a statement not to judge you in any way. I just seem to remember reading you write something about not being a believer. If what I am saying is untrue, please please correct me. So, since you are on a Christian website, and it being a forum, I can promise you that I will share my love for Jesus Christ with you. I will tell you about the Grace of God. I will share my beliefs with you. I am not afraid to say that non-Christians go to hell. I am not only a Christian, but in many aspects a realist. If I sound gruff at times, realize, it is not anger or frustration with you, but my desire for you to know Jesus Christ in a personal and loving manner. I want to call you my brother in Christ and worship God in Heaven with you someday. I am a man that does not sugar coat many things. I believe you have a desire to seek God, or you probably would not have 500 posts on this site. So, I say to you, that GOD IS LOVE! HE IS RIGHTEOUS. In His righteousness and justness, he allows men to go to Hell, because mankind is EVIL! But GOD IS MERCIFUL. HE CAN CHANGE THE HEART OF SINNERS. He took me! He took someone that had no interest in Him, that had hate and anger towards him. He took me, a teenager addicted to drugs, contemplating suicide. He took me after I tried to kill myself with drugs. I was the worst of the worst. I overdosed, but HE CHANGED MY HEART! God is that GOOD! God is able to mold from the worst of the worst, a vessel worthy of HIS love! Someone on the fast track to Hell, likemyself was shown a love that no one deserves. I want this for you my friend. I just praise God for you. For the fact that you are on these forums. I just thank Him for you. Seek Him. Trust Him. Love Him. Just fall backwards into his arms.
