unity
“that all the wisdom and the capacity of human understanding can by no means disclose to us the light of the first truth, and make us avow that perfect contentment exists in perfect simplicity, which one never enjoys sufficiently except when one contemplates it in itself, and when one abandons diversity entirely to embrace the divine unity” — mersenne

Ai
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning...
success
My view/dream/hope of success [God willing]:
“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’” —Matthew 25:21

Epistemologos
Epistemology according to the Bible -
“5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.”
—Proverbs 3:5-8 :3

Chit-Chat
If you ever talk to me in person, please come with lots of unique questions! :3
I think because I put so much into music, sometimes I come off as inexpressive or uninterested when I talk to people. Gots to work on that! :3
Offense
The offensive message of the Gospel:
Man: “I am a free thinker. I choose me.”
God: “Then you have no part in me, your creator, for I demand everything.”
Man: “Fine.”
———————-
Man: “God, I simply don’t know. Make me like Christ.”
God: “Come, my child.”
Man: “It’s hard to...

No Guilt
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” — Romans 8:1
This is such an impossible truth to believe. It means that you needn’t feel any condemnation anymore or ever again if you profess with your life that Christ is your King.
I tend to believe the lie that God is angry at me the moment I give in to lustful desires or thoughts of sloth...
Anonymous asked: I feel like those words from that link you posted about the Jesus hating religion is valid. I can see where those points are highlighted, and I understand. But perhaps the author is speaking from the context of religion today--what false prophets are making it, from what luke-warm Christians are making it.

grace-driven
“People do not drift toward Holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we...

Anonymous asked: Hey Sam. I'm a teenage guy who's struggling with lust so much right now... I read your posts about your personal problems with lust so I feel like you understand what I'm going through. As a believer this has been one of the hardest things ever in my Christian walk/my entire life in general. It's to the point where my mind like ALWAYS thinks about sexual things... I feel so...

Here’s the story:
Back in 2007ish:
Lyricks: Sam, send me beats.
Me: Okay.
Lyricks: I like this one. I’m going to record on it. Can you make up a chorus?
Me: Okay. Can I mix it too?
Lyricks: Okay, here are the files. Also, send me the final mix so my DJ can add stuff on it.
Result:

reminder
A reminder to myself:
Just who do you think God is? God is not who you think he is, it’s who he says he is. Don’t trust your own heart, trust God’s heart. The only solid, concrete voice of God is found within his Word and do not forget that. God is much bigger than just the Word, but you are too fickle to be able to truly BELIEVE in anything but the Word. Pray in faith and...

Question about rhythm in No Other Place
Hi there, I’ve been listening to the sample audio file and looking at the score that was sent, and noticed some discrepancies.
The jump of a fifth and a sixth in bars 5 and 7 are written as crotchet to tied dotted minum, but the audio sounds more like an off-beat quaver to tied crotchet (held). Also, the long notes on the score are not held for their entire length in the audio sample. Do...

“It is true that, as Saint Paul says, every evil word corrupts good manners, but when it has a melody with it, it pierces the heart much more strongly and enters within; as wine is poured into the cask with a funnel, so venom and corruption are distilled to the very depths of the heart by melody. Now what is there to do? The solution is to have songs not merely honest but also holy, which...

Jesus, you are success.
Make me more like you, for in your word you guarantee it([yourself]) to me. I trust you. Thank you for not making it a secret like what is “hidden” in the mundane.

A Prayer for Patience
transformingnations:
Lord, who hast suffer’d all for me, My peace and pardon to procure, The lighter cross I bear for Thee, Help me with patience to endure.
Ah! were I buffeted all day, Mock’d, crown’d with thorns and spit upon, I yet should have no right to say, My great distress is mine alone.
Let me not angrily declare No pain was ever sharp like mine, Nor murmur at the cross I...
preguntas
I struggle with these. Which is why I ask these questions about corporate worship.
——————-
Why did God allow music to be combined with his praise?
Are we loving him, or the music he gave us?
Since when did “worship” begin to mean “music” and not “lifestyle”?
Do we care more about how the electric guitar riff sounds than...
morning delight
1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do...
