00:01 Friends, as you know, our time comes and goes
00:02 so quickly here at 3ABN,
00:04 but we want to thank you for taking the time
00:06 to tune in today.
00:07 And we hope that we have encouraged you
00:09 to think of music in a different way
00:12 because we live in a society
00:13 where music happens all around us
00:15 whether we participate
00:16 or whether we don't participate.
00:18 But the kind of music
00:19 that we have been talking about today
00:20 is music that has its origin,
00:23 not just in the type of instruments
00:26 or the way we sing a song
00:27 but in transforming the singer,
00:30 as well as those who listen to the songs.
00:31 And I want to thank Pastor David Schmidt
00:33 for coming here today.
00:35 Any parting words, what can you encourage
00:38 one of our viewers and our listeners today
00:41 with as far as music
00:43 and how it has changed your life?
00:45 Well, one of the songs that we sung
00:47 a number of times over the years is called
00:49 "Majesty and Glory of Your Name,"
00:51 And myself and others that I've talked to
00:53 in the chorus,
00:54 it was several years before I could sing that song
00:56 all the way through
00:57 without getting emotional and choking up
00:59 'cause it talks about God's glory, His handiwork,
01:01 the stars that He makes and all.
01:03 And it just...
01:05 You realize I am singing to the creator of the universe.
01:07 Amen.
01:08 I'm one of 80 or 90 guys
01:10 singing to the creator of the universe,
01:11 and it's an incredible experience
01:13 to do that.
01:14 The other thing that I've experienced
01:15 from our work of the chorus,
01:17 it reminded me that God doesn't need superstars...
01:20 That's right.
01:21 But He does need His people who are willing
01:23 and people who are willing
01:24 to not just shuffle along with a little bit.
01:26 People give in their best, whatever their best is,
01:29 that's what I think He wants.
01:30 Okay, Praise God.
01:31 We don't have stars, but we do have guys
01:33 who are willing to give their best,
01:34 and when we do that,
01:35 He does remarkable things with that.
01:37 He can provide the star power.
01:39 Good.
01:40 Ten seconds.
01:42 God's love.
01:43 Everything we sing is about God loving us
01:46 in spite of who we are and what we are.
01:47 Wow! And, Paul.
01:49 Gives me a sense of belonging and meaning, a brotherhood.
01:53 And I love music, I love singing,
01:54 I love praising God.
01:56 That's right.
01:57 And if you keep on singing,
01:58 one day you're going to find a wonderful wife.
02:00 We know God is going to lead the person your way.
02:02 We like to tease Paul with that.
02:04 But we want to thank you for taking the time
02:06 to tune in today to be encouraged.
02:08 Continue praying for us as we seek to do everything
02:11 to the glory and honor of the Lord.
02:13 Until we see you again, may the Lord bless you.
