To help people "get it". Another words, to help people understand why there are on this earth and what we are supposed to do with our lives that we have been graciously given. To understand that it is all about Christ's glorification and not ours. It is all about doing whatever it takes (as long as it isn't compromising God's truth) so that some may know. If it takes me getting over my preference so that someone might be saved then by all means! I mean that is generally what our ultimate preference is supposed to be right? I liked what you said here, "It has less to do with being relevant and more to do with being significant." I want to be a great significance in the lives of those I am in contact with, even if it requires me to die to myself everyday. So be it. But isn't that what Christ did when he died on the cross, and aren't we to model after His life and example? Thank you Alvin for that wonderful encouragement. I don't know if you remember me but I am Eddie from Applebee's. That isn't really important but I just felt like reminding you of that.

This was such a blessing to read this. I have a friend who believes that Contemporary Christian music is wrong. If you dont mind, I'd like to send this to her... she might actaully see that its not wrong, and that meant us to worship in many different ways. thanx again, Alicia hey,
