From Hello! to Yo!
"Yo! Man! Wus up! Yo!"
"Not’in much bro…. just chill’in. Yo."
What is this? This is a typical conversation between two young people in America. What is wrong with this? It is a complete massacre of the English language. When young people speak to one another it should be a conversation of full and complete sentences, correct pronoun usage and a sincere greeting. It should be a conversation, especially for the Christian young person, that glorifies God, not only in its contents but in its structure as well.

"Hello, how are you?"
"I am advancing by God’s grace."
"Praise the Lord, He is good!"
Our greetings and conversations should be something like what is depicted above; clear English and the praise of God continually in our mouth. Our speech should not be inspired by a culture which is Godless and in need of salvation, but rather,every syllable, word and phrase should be inspired by the beauty, grace, and sovereignty of our Savior and almighty God. Remember, we are called to be a peculiar people,( 1Peter 2:9) "But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;"
So Let it Be!

Poem
What is Music? By: Natasha Maule
Music is not just the melodic strains you hear or sing
but it was created and ordained to glorify our King.
Each note has a value and each harmony it's tone
and each instrument its position and each melody its throne.
Let us not diminish then what God has forthwith laid down,
what the foundation of music is and the definition of orderly sound.
God in His word has given us a forthright and systematic plan,
for what He wants in music and what He wants of man.
He says that everything is to reflect His attributes, character and Word,
and by this, from our sinful flesh can we ever hope to be cured.
And in this-
If God's attributes are orderly, good and right,
shouldn't this put any doubt of what music is- to flight?
If His characteristics are noble,beautiful and sure,
shouldn't each trumpet blast be noble and each lyric be pure?
And if truth is His word,
shouldn't music compel us to seek it?
And not by it instead the evil thoughts of men be stirred?
So let us, with this in mind contemplate what we compose and what we sing,
so that we will always, in fact, glorify our King.
