It's Only a Song Until YOU make it more.

So the other day I was listening to this song called The Lost Get Found. It's by Britt Nicole. But anyway, the vision behind this song sparked a thought in my head: It's just a song. That's all it is. This song is about reaching out, stepping up, and speaking loud about the name of Jesus and heck, yeah its a great message, but it's just a song!! We sit in our cars and hear songs like that and say "oh that's such a great song" and then for the majority of us, we just move along with our lives. We don't ACT on what we sing about! Listen , there are some awesome songs out there that call the body of Christ to BE the body of Christ. Have you EVER asked yourself why?

Matthew West- The Motions

Superchic[k]- Cross The Line

Skillet- Looking for Angels & Awake and Alive

Why do songs like If We Are the Body by Casting Crowns and Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath move us to tears?

Why does Barlow Girl have two whole albums committed to this message- How Can We Be Silent and Love and War?

Why does Jeremy Camp not only have a song called Speaking Louder Than Before but also have a ministry called that?

Have you ever asked yourself WHY!? Why do artists keep coming out with songs like this?

It's because we don't live what we sing , people!! Listen to me!! We don't do the things that these songs call us to do.These songs are awesome and all, but they wont change the world. WE the PEOPLE are the ones that have to take action and move in our communities. WE are the ones that have to go out and make the difference. Until we start to BELIEVE what we sing and then out of that belief in our hearts, we begin to act and to speak and to live, it's just another song!!! It doesn't become a MOVEMENT until WE live it!! Do you hear me, people?!?


This is NOT a call to go out and live your life better FOR God.

This is NOT a call to do more, be better, live better, read you bible more and to believe that that's gonna make you a better person so you can change the world.

This is NOT a call to go tell everyone you meet 'Jesus loves you, Jesus loves you, hey did you know that Jesus loves you?"

This is NOT a call to believe that someones salvation depends on you.


This IS a call to start living BECAUSE of God.

This IS a call to realize that YOU are not the one that's gonna change the world. It's the spirit inside you that's gonna change the world.

This IS a call to stop believing that someone getting saved depends on you, because it doesn't. It's always supernatural, I don't give a darn as to whether they were born and raised in the church or if they were a homeless drug addict.

This IS a call to start putting actions with words.

This IS a call to not just let a song give you 'a moment' but to let it sink in and penetrate.

This IS a call to step out and live what you sing.


The world is asleep.

It's been asleep for far too long.

Are we going to be the generation that shakes this world awake so that it will never be the same?

WILL they remember?

Or will we also fall into that deep sleep and let the chance pass us by? Will we be just another generation in this world, or will they remember we were here?
