Bible: Song Analysis

1115 Words5 Pages

Despite the diverse authorship and span of time that the Bible covers, God’s inspiration influenced His message so that His doctrines are consistent throughout the Bible. There is a great deal of theology in the modern worship songs. For example, “Worth” (Brown, 2017) explains the doctrine of God’s forgiveness of man’s sin, which can be traced through scripture. Another belief demonstrated in this song is praise and worship to the creator in response to His greatness and for gratitude for His provisions. The importance of the consistency of scriptures is to make God’s character and will known. Songs stimulate memory of scripture and doctrines.
In Genesis, Adam and Eve challenged God’s only command not to eat of the Tree of Good and Evil. Even …show more content…

Abraham’s obedience sacrifice Isaac is a foreshadowing of Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice who humbled Himself to live among us. One humbles oneself to serve God’s will. The acceptable worship is that obedience is “better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22, King James Version). The greatest commandment is to love God and ones’ neighbor as oneself (Mark 12:33, King James Version). Cain did not have the proper reverence and awe required (Genesis 4:4, King James Version). The Greek word for service is “latreia” which means, “sanctuary work” or “worship.” In the Old Testament, the priestly duties were carried out by the Levites. Peter says the Christians are a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9, King James Version). Christians worship is not confined to the church building but one should Go out and proclaim and do the work of God through the use of hands feet and lips (Matthew 28:19, King James Version). Being conformed to this world means fitting in and putting something else of importance in God’s place. “The Lord your God is a jealous god” (Exodus 34:14, Deuteronomy 16:14, 2 Kings 17:35, Psalms 81:9, Jeremiah 7:9, King James Version). Do not follow everyone else in their ways, wisdom of man is folly of God. Therefore, Christians need to “transform by the renewing of their mind” (Romans 12:2, King James Version) by meditating on the Word of God on His character and His great and marvelous deeds (Exodus 15:2, Psalms 95:1-6, Isaiah 12:5, Revelation 4:11, 15:3). The perfect and acceptable will of God is that no one should perish (2 Peter 3:9, King James Version). Therefore, one’s acceptable service of worship would, not only be singing and praising God, but also, sharing the good news by calling for repentance and serving the poor and the sick; the widows and the orphans; and the lost (Isiah 56:7, Psalms 84:1-3, Matthew 25:40, King James Version). “God listens to your heart and enjoys seeing you express your worship”

Throughout chapter 22 of Genesis, Abraham goes through the preparations in order to sacrifice his son. Abraham’s only hesitation seems only to be the lack of materials he has to perform the sacrifice and even then “When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about” (Genesis 22:3). Abraham seems completely willing to sacrifice his son with no rational or thought out explanation. Kierkegaard believes Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son reflects his unquestioning and absurd faith in God. In fact, Kierkegaard asserts that “It was not for the sake of saving a people, not to maintain the idea of the state, that Abraham did this, and not in order to reconcile angry deities'' (Kierkegaard 133).

As most churches teach that humanity is saved by faith, countless worshippers leave through the church doors believing the message means to read more scripture, pray harder, and have more activities for community; therefore, doing more and separating themselves as the right Christian activist. The realization should be that the body of Christ needs more humility and love rather than holding to the opposite view. Humanity is called to worship God because of His grace, to feed the poor because of His grace, to pray because He has giving us the grace to encounter Him, and to read the Bible for understanding His grace and to teach others. As Paul would say in Romans 2:4, “…do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance…” not a self-satisfying life thinking and doing as one pleases. Countless modern Christians attend worship services seeking to receive the spark, which is actually them worshiping the feeling or special something that, they believe, God gave them.

In today’s age, there has never been more political correctness in our country. If someone says something that offends anyone, regardless of its factuality or veracity, they will be questioned and challenged. Because of this borderline-censorship, we must still have a way to engage audiences and get our point across. Humor provides this. Humorists are able to dive into topics that can be very polarizing and, with the way they communicate, can bring people together while expressing certain opinions.

By using animals in this new covenant, Abraham showed that God’s covenant followed old traditions where blood needed to be shed. All the men and boys in Abraham’s tribe were also circumcised as a sign of the covenant. Finally, God fulfilled his second covenant, and Sarah bore Abraham a son, Isaac. As a last test of Abraham, God told Abraham to bring Isaac, his heir, to the top of a mountain and sacrifice him. Abraham, who had grown in his faith and fully trusted God, went to the top of the mountain but was stopped just before he sacrificed Isaac. Through his actions, Abraham became the father of faith and proved that he was worthy of God’s complete

In her short story, “The Song of Songs,” Ellen Gilchrist explores the concepts of materialism and human relationships and their effects on a person’s sense of purpose. Barrett Clare, who was given up for adoption as a child, suffers from manic depression. She continually attempts to alleviate her depression in ways typically idealized in America such as owning a beautiful home and having a happy family. Intermittently in the story are glimpses of Barrett’s internal thoughts which reveal the extent of her depression as well as its presumed cause – the feelings of abandonment by her mother. Through the course of the story, Gilchrist juxtaposes materialism – a private jet, a Rolex watch, a mansion, marrying for money – with interjections of Barrett’s intensely depressed internal dialogue to show that materialism only worsens depression.

Prior to reading this book, I learned and was taught that song was mainly used as a way to communicate and as a source of entertainment. Likewise, it is a common misconception to believe that this is the sole purpose of the music. Yes, the songs were used for those reasons, but according to Fisher, the initial purpose of creating the songs was to pass down the history of their customs and values to future

The moves and plots, which produce different fields of understanding, should arise from the nature of scripture. There are moments in consciousness termed immediacy, reflection, and praxis. Symbol’s task in consciousness is in different ways. Since scripture functions in these different ways, sermons also are plotted to work in human consciousness to shift congregational consciousness.

God even provides a ram for the sacrifice, pointing to the second Isaac, Jesus, who would later pay the sacrifice for the sins of all humanity. God is not acting in an angry or barbaric way in this passage as the atheistic view would suggest. Instead, God’s desire for Abraham to trust in Him completely shows evidence to his further desire for intimate relationships with his people. A proper understanding of God’s righteous jealousy and anger helps to understand His reasoning for asking such a difficult task of Abraham and further dispels the claim that God enjoys child

The story Abraham and Isaac conveys a moral lesson about devotion and loyalty within religion. Genesis 22 revolves around God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Abraham listens to God and takes his son to a mountaintop where he plans to slay his son for the burnt offering. Just before committing the act, an angel of the Lord stops him. Because he did not withhold his son from God, Abraham is promised the same covenant that is talked about in earlier chapters of Genesis.

3:16-17). Baxter correctly highlighted the primary duty of minister in correcting those disobedience or rebellious flock – “To bring your people to submit to this course of private catechizing or instruction; for, if they will not come to you, or allow you to come to them, what good can they receive?” However, when we look at today’s congregation, especially old believers, their mindset had changed – though at the beginning of salvation, they humbly followed all the minister’s instructions diligently for their soul’s healing, but after sometimes, they hardened their heart to any kind of pastoral treatment as though they are superior than their shepherd. They will not come to us and will not allow us to come to
