Lo and behold, punters, a children's choir in Georgia. That's right, a children's choir. Here in the West we'd be lucky if those kids could sing This Little Light of Mine, if they could sing any hymn at all, which would be difficult for them as they don't even go to church.
Question, who's more free? The Georgian child in the choir worshipping Christ or her Western, secular equivalent? The latter has all the freedom in the world to worship money, drugs, sex, plastic, drag queen story hour degeneracy and everything else our pseudo-culture holds up as divine. The former makes beautiful music to God.
A wake-up call. If their kids can do it, why can't ours. Serious point and question.
Your Pal,
LSP
Make beautiful music to God, a joyful noise.
ReplyDeleteOkay, LSP, I'll say this, what you already know:
It wasn't that long ago there was regular worship here in the "good ol' USofA, (as well as logic/science and discourse). But what happened? Godlessness happened in the homes.
Television/entertainment with the resulting family communication, togetherness shutting down. A single family member from "The Greatest Generation," points it out and is ridiculed. The result is the same, repeated worship of self, "live for today." The Boomers, even those more refined to be a "dirty hippy" (and more "intelligent" to believe in God), quipped, "Once we die, nothing happens afterwards." How nihilistic? Yes, it's that. And living for the moment results in its prodigy: drugs-sex-R&R... Now we have them in places THEY DO NO BELONG. <<< You catch the drift.
Apparently (from what I gather) at death, many go immediately into a place we made for ourselves in our lives. Many do.
Our energy doesn't cease to exist; that's not the law "of conservation of energy."
A to the Q: The Georgian children, now and in the after-world... to meet the Messiah/I AM with gratefulness, love (for we all shall meet El Señor gratefully or not). That's a beautiful worship service.
Right on, GenX. And what beautiful music! It lifts the soul to God. We're in rebellion against precisely that in the West, and look at the consequence.
DeleteWhy can't we have something like this here in the USA? Well, our elites and most of our clergy are too busy pushing the global homo movement or pushing socialism rather than actually affirming our faith.
ReplyDeleteThat they are, Beans, and it's gotta stop.
DeleteWhat they said.
ReplyDeleteAnd it was beautiful singing.
But people and churches are waking up. There may be time for choirs again.
You all be safe and God bless.
I think you're right, Linda, it's a slow awakening, but still.
DeleteThere is a movement in the USA toward Orthodoxy. If you would like to listen to some beautiful music search “ kontakion and troparion” in YouTube. These are many of the hymns in the Orthodox Church and you can find them in English. I will not go into “teaching mode” about what the “tones” are (other than music so ancient it predates the musical theory and notation used for the past many hundreds of years). True Orthodoxy has no “woke” in its DNA.
ReplyDeleteSeamus, I know! A few of my friends are directly part of this.
DeleteYou all see and hear children singing angelically. Our betters see the next batch of subhuman but trainable animals that will toil away their lives to further enrich Them. We subhumans have to other reason to exist, other than to serve Them. When we’re supposedly on our own time, our duty is to buy shit we don’t need, and to watch degrading porn (which They provide). It’s self evident. But here’s this Orthodox claptrap giving those animals a foundation and a purpose to their lives, and even a chance to experience the transcendent while on this earth, albeit only during rare moments of grace. Of course it must be stopped.
ReplyDeleteWhen Christians think deeply on suffering, they muse on Christ’s suffering. This is the path out of narcissistic self pity. Because self pity ultimately leads to evil. But our Elites think only of their own (claimed) suffering. They worship Themselves while clutching to their bosoms an Enemies List, no doubt with marginalia detailing the specific “punishments” and humiliations They have planned out for each of us. That’s the best case scenario. The optimistic one. The probably more realistic scenario is that a bunch of our Elites look at those children and see self-propelled sex toys. We are ruled by some very sick people.
My dear Mike_C, I totally agree.
DeleteHow much longer will God be mocked?
How long? Well, until the Second Coming and the End of Days. Which hopefully will be far in the future but looking out my window or door seems to be getting closer and closer every day.
