Eric Church wrote a song the other year in which he states “If I could only kill a word”, and goes on to say what he would do if he could only kill a word. There is no coincidence that his name is church my friends, because this word that he wants to kill is a word from God. The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the word of God [John1] and we know that Jesus was killed for our sins, so man literally killed the word. Let me pose it another way as a question: what word would this decadent, evil world kill if it could? Jesus Christ, the word of God. To me I can just picture the devil singing this song. Why else would the song be so popular the Bible says that the world would love its own [John 15:14]. Church goes on to say “and watch it die” which is the state of some of our churches today, dead that is. So this worldly man singing a ballad to the world states that if he could he would kill the word of God and watch it die and not one Christian is awake enough to challenge him on this. Well like Paul said, I’ll stand alone if need be [2 Timothy 4:16-18](16 At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. 17 But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.) There is a children’s song that goes, “oh be careful little eyes what you see, oh be careful little ears what you hear” so the next time you’re singing along to a song think about what it could really mean and act accordingly: remember the father up above is looking down in love, so be careful.
