I got my husband the new Casting Crowns cd, The Altar and the Door, for Christmas. Today in the car it was playing, and in the first song there’s a bridge where talking can be heard over the music, the gist of the talking being that modern Christians miss the point drastically and hurt the cause of Christ. At one point, the speaker says, “Maybe the best thing we can do is just get out of the way.”
At that point a confident, 6-year-old voice spoke up decisively from the back seat: “They’re wrong. The best thing we can do is worship Him!”
Point well taken! Let’s see: the song recommends withdrawal; the 6yo recommends positive action. The song focuses on human failure; the 6yo focuses on redemption. The song is angry; the 6yo is hopeful and confident in God.
I like Casting Crowns very much. But in this case, I’m ruling in favor of the 6-year-old.
Yeah for the 6-year old! She is very smart. :-)
