Post #100 necessarily reminded me of Psalm 100 and The Old 100th hymn, so here goes...Needless to say, for those of you who are around me almost any time of the day, you'll observe that making a joyful noise (frequently 'unto the Lord', as Psalm 100 says, but just as frequently because I CAN) is part and parcel of what I do, Darling, it's what I do (tip of the hat to Captain Malcolm Reynolds in "Serenity"); especially down here in Stonewalled Charismatic Presbyterian Church.
Today I got on You Tube and typed in 'bagpipes,' hoping to find "Amazing Grace" there so I'd have the chance to do that very thing. Well, once again the Lord answered. If you want to enjoy 4 minutes of interesting video and, for some of us, tear jerking music, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V84STSWVp3g.
Now, to encourage you another way to make a joyful noise to the Lord, here are some words from Augustine as noted in Samuel Bolton's The True Bounds of Christian Freedom: “Augustine describes man under four different conditions. Before the law he neither fights nor strives against sin. Under the law he fights but is overcome. Under grace he fights and conquers. But in heaven it is all conquest, and there is no combat more to all eternity. It is our happiness here in grace that there is a conquest, though a daily combat: we fight, but we get the victory; sin shall nevermore have dominion over us.”
Got Ephesians 6:10-20?
