the wisdom of classic rock

After you read this post I want you to listen to Pink Floyd "Wish you were Here." Not because you will learn anything, but because it is a great song. Then I want you to read Romans 1. Not because it REALLY has anything to do with Pink Floyd, but because it's amazingly true how we exchange the gifts of the Lord for the gifts of man. And they are never as good. There is a lot of truth there but I'll let you find it for yourself, I'm not a Bible scholar, I'm just narcissisticly obsessed with my own words.

"Wish you were here"

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Romans 1:22

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator— who is for ever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worth while to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
