I may be one of the few people in America who still buys cassette tapes and CD’s, but when I uncover a hidden gem I can’t resist. Although my desire to start my own Christian radio station faded years ago, I enjoy broadening my scope of musical genres. Whether its alternative, hip hop, ska or techno, wholesome music soothes my soul. Perhaps I skipped a decade, yet I’m glad I stumbled upon the group Further Seems Forever.
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise, James 5:13.
This title reminds me of the times in life where I have strayed off course, abandoning God for the pleasures of this world. Sin has a habit of distracting its willing participants longer than expected. Subsequently, skipping church, reading the Bible or praying once can form a pattern. Before you know it, days turn into weeks, months or possibly years, resulting in an extended vacation from God.
My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed, Psalm 71:23.
To make sure this slide doesn’t lead to eternal separation from God, drastic steps must be taken. Forever Seems Forever suggests concentrating on how to start a spiritual fire within your heart. While distance makes the heart grow fonder, temptation can paralyze victims through addiction. Therefore, don’t let the sun go down today until you lift up your hands in prayer, open up the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to set your heart on fire.
