We all know only too well that our life will end sooner or later with the coming of death. God sent His son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the world to open up a way of life. The way of salvation from death is the very heart of the Christian Gospel. Our sins separate us from God, who is the source of all life. Jesus came to bring man to God, by showing the way of life. A man may know his Bible perfectly, from Genesis to Revelation: he may have a thorough understanding of Bible teaching – but that will not save him. Unless he accepts the sacrifice Jesus has made for him, he can have no HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.

We are not alone in our battle with sin. Others have faced the same thing and have experienced God’s deliverance. All our temptations are common to all men, so we cannot hide behind the idea that our problem is different and thereby seek to excuse our sin by its uniqueness. There is great comfort in knowing that others have faced similar and even worse testings and temptations and have endured by the strength and faithfulness of God

Since God’s desire and goal is that we might not sin, how we have victory over sin? Here we are dealing with the issue of experiencing God’s victory over the temptation to sin, and over sinful patterns or life-dominating practices that may have defeated a Christian all his (or her) life. Because of the many temptations to sin, believers may wonder how they can handle these temptations. Or because of a pattern of failure, they may wonder if they really can break a habit that has dominated them all their lives. By the grace of God, the believer’s union with Christ, and the power of the Spirit of Christ, the answer is a resounding, YES

God hates sin! But He also loves the sinner, even those so wicked that you and I might find it difficult to love. Jesus said that God’s love is perfect, or complete. It is this love that is the basis of our hope. We are important to God because we are His creation… We must understand that while our God is God of love, He is also completely righteous. Therefore, He cannot simply ignore our sins, but instead has acted in our behalf to deal with them. That is why the message of the gospel is referred to as GOOD NEWS. "

Sin destroys one’s relationship with God. This is why true contentment cannot be found by one entrapped by sin. God refers to those who would deny the reality or consequences of sin as deceivers and warns that one who makes a habit of sin is not of God. The consequences of sin are tragic and include both physical and spiritual harm. By continuing in sin God says that one hurts himself

‘’The Christian’s life is not a modification or improvement of the old, but a transformation of nature. There is a death to self and sin, and a new life altogether. This change can be brought about only by the effectual working of the Holy Spirit… The wind is heard among the branches of the trees, rustling the leaves and flowers: yet it is invisible, and no man knows whence it comes or whither it goes. So with the work of the Holy Spirit upon the …heart When the Spirit of God takes possession of the heart, it transforms the life…The blessing comes when by faith the soul surrenders itself to God. Then that power which no human eye can see creates a new being in the image of God.”

We need to cherish the songs that brought us to where we are. Hymns, spirituals, anthems, and gospel are in our musical DNA. Hope, faith, justice, love, deliverance, and confession are needed in the songs written today for a time such as this. Early 20th century gospel music reminds me of hot grits on a cold winter day. They got inside of you, stuck to your ribs, and kept you full. I miss that in the music I hear today.

Gospel music has grown and evolved over its roughly 100 year history. Gospel hymns were first composed in the late 19th century by pastors such as Rev. Albert Tindley, but received widespread acclaim after the ground roots organizing of Professor Thomas A. Dorsey and his Dorsey disciples.

Those songs, as Dr. Margaret Douroux explained- in an interview in "Make A Joyful Noise: A Brief History of Gospel Music Ministry in America" (2011), were hummed by our ancestors as they performed day work to support their families. They were lined in devotion and prayer meetings. They were sung at funerals and baptisms.

We're starving from the gospel music of the 21st century. It's fattening; sweet; foot-tapping, hip-swaying good. But- how long does it last? Does it keep you full? Does it edify? exhort? convict? deliver? Is it sounding brass and tinkling cymbal?
