He reigns, all right!... and i rant

He reigns.... i love this song!.... and i especially dig the last quarter of this video, where everyone's dancing 'n' worshipping together...

(let it load before watching so it don't go stallin' on ya, as it's quite a high resolution video...)


*******

and now, my rant:

theres a VERY brief shot of a funky lookin' chubby lady... way kewl... but i find it sad that even this christian video, glorifying the Creator of all, is so glamourized to the point that 99% of the peeps in the video are AAA - above average attractiveness (ahem... according to the *world's* standards, that is... not necessarily God's).

a few micro-second shots of averagely-beautiful folk doesn't make the emphasis on the glamerous, AAA, 'beautiful people' any less real. it's simply there.

BAA HUMBUG.

aren't those of us who are BAAA - below above-average-attractiveness - or even BAA - below average attractiveness, period - part of the beautiful creation of the Majestic King they are glorifying? it seems to me to be stooping to the level of wordliness (on the part of whomever had the final decision on casting for this video) - where only the 'beautiful people' can represent the beauty of the King who reigns.

are not even the fungus among us glorious creations of our glorious God? are they not then beautiful? then why not the average-ly beautiful folks among us? like me? BAA HUMBUG.

i guess its just a symptom of how worldly we ALL are, whether we realize it or not.

*******

but they did one thing right, lol.... the fuschia-red hair on that one gal....

DROOL.

let yer freak flag fly, girl!

...so long as it's raised to the glory of God, of course! (...but we all know brightly coloured hair that SHOUTS is the best way to make His praise glorious, lol!)

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
