O.C. Supertones – Grounded
I know, I know. Ska is weird. You guys aren’t used to
hearing it. Well it’s not about the horns, it’s about the heart; and I for one
think the Supertones have their hearts in the right place.Here's the lyrics if you couldn't figure them out: http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Grounded-lyrics-The-O-C-Supertones/0425003ABF62BBA94825693A00313EB4
Grounded is all about one of the big themes in the
Supertones songs: that of Christians being ready and prepared to defend what
they believe. There are a ton of great lyrics in Grounded, but for now let us
focus for a moment on the chorus.
“How will you stand if you don’t understand?”
It’s a good question. How will you stand against the
constant onslaught of questioning and presumption that engulfs us at every
turn? In our classes at school, hanging
out with friends, even at the movies, our faith and what we believe is right or
wrong is always being questioned, either directly or just simply by those
around us portraying the world as they chose to see it. Treating the commonly
held belief as truth simply because it is commonly accepted.
“Fight like a man, scriptures in hand.”
The truth of the matter is this: At the heart of what we
believe is the fact that the bible is more than just the book we Christians
read. The bible is true, every single word of it. And that it is complete: there
is no question that cannot be answered by turning to the word of God.
It’s a powerful thing to start treating the Bible like what
it is: The inspired word of God, and I believe we should. Dive into your Bible
this week, not just too passively read a few stories at random, but to
understand the truth being presented there and how it applies to your life
right now.
