As a director of this work a number of times with a huge choir and fine professional orchestra and soloists it is easy to get wrapped up in all the hype and technical stuff, and even let it get to our head. We need constant reminders of why we are doing it, and to and for whom. It is the Lord who deserves all honor, glory and praise. Musicians often receive praise for their fine performances. That is okay, but we need to accept it with humility and gratefulness to the Lord for what he has given and allowed us to do for Him. And we need to constantly remind ourselves, our musicians and our listeners for whom and to whom all this great music is for. Jesus is the star, not us.

He had an amazing ability to speak truth to his critics in their homes face to face over meals. Later he did speak some pretty straight (even harsh) truth publicly, but I believe it was only after he had first taken a gracious face to face approach. At his crucifixion he demonstrated the extent of his sacrificial and forgiving love towards his violent critics - grace at its best.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582585436788938289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481942452144482163.post-15120888659422599962010-10-21T12:24:56.571-07:002010-10-21T12:24:56.571-07:00I resonate with the thot that "anyone can cri...I resonate with the thot that "anyone can criticize, gossip and shun", while not everyone can extend grace. As believers we have a lot to learn about grace-giving.<br />While Jesus did not shun those who criticized and slandered him, He did not always respond with gracious truth. There were occasions when He felt led to speak some pretty strong truth with not a lot of grace mixed in. Righteous anger can be difficult fruit to bear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601680569698649727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481942452144482163.post-28245116129460064202010-06-17T12:24:37.947-07:002010-06-17T12:24:37.947-07:00Wow, Jane, I never would have pegged you for a soc...Wow, Jane, I never would have pegged you for a soccer fan ... before we know it you'll have your own vuvuzela to blow and your own flag to wave!
