When I first started teaching at Red Lion in Delaware, a number of my students tried to update my collection of Christian music. Since I often played songs in class to open up a discussion on a specific topic, a couple of teenagers went out of their way to educate me on up-and-coming artists. One of those songs was Mirror by Barlow Girl, this week’s featured artist.
But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]. 23 For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror; 24 For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like, James 1:22-24.
If you’re a woman and have ever struggled with self-esteem, I highly recommend studying the lyrics of Mirror. Taking a page out of Disney’s Snow White, Barlow Girl addresses your physical appearance in Mirror from a spiritual perspective. The attached you tube features Barlow Girl’s top hits which often sound like a mix of Kelly Clarkson and Saving Jane.
