Cruciamentum

They are looking a little bored in this picture, or maybe like they are doing a mocking pose of kind. But I do genuinely like seeing good quality death metal bands standing next to the cross, and its not in some kind of satanic gesture.

Speaking of death, I am starting to see a lot of it around the world, its spread is unnoticeable. Tensions and emotions, are flaring. I have never in my life seen so much unravelling and deaths in the American church, as of it today.

There is an outpouring, but you damn well believe my parents, grandparents are Christian, and I mean the serious types. I have close and distant relatives that do dedicate their lives to the church, friend and family. And well if we are being honest, even some close and distant friends to me. I do know a lot of good people, but one thing I know that makes certain ones shine through, despite of the bad, despite of the ugly is Christians. And not because of them, its because of Christ.

When you are like me now, its easy to share and speak up about it, because I am sitting in front 2 screens. But out in public, and standing among a den of wolves, that could be ready to eat, its important to let those wolves know that I have something inside me, that lives and is not going to die, but the meat and gristle on my bones, may satisfy for a moment, I know where my eternal destination is, and its secured in a place, that belongs to God.

I did actually listen to and do listen to Crucaimentum at one point. In fact some nasally whiney mouth breather is probably reading this right now, excited to find their “favorite” band to eagerly share and throttle up a crusade to destroy me. I know that person, because it was me at one point, whether I want to admit it or not.

At the end of the day music is an art form, and its a hobby and a talent left to people to explore their ideas and share with each other friendship and brotherhood, or sisterhood for that matter.

But within it does light a fuse, and that fuse could be in the heads and minds of listeners who are more warped on death and dying then your typical listener, and that is where I know for certain I don’t want to be any part of the music that encourages BUT discourages it.

Christ is my solution to happiness and peace. While I know a lot of you, ignore Him because you think its weak and pitiful to put your faith and trust in Him. But for me, I know without a shadow of a doubt He died for me, and for you and for all the world for that matter. So you better believe when He comes back, I definitely want a place at His table.
