Hi Mark, Okay, so I'll bite... We play ONLY Gospel - period. I think we compare quite well to many playing secular music on their arrangers. However, we use music as a tool. We'll start off with high energy music that stirs up the soul realm (the mind, will & emotion realm). Next we'll flow into softer music that touches the spirit realm (the heart). Often I'll end up using my guitar only like over here. Normally, when we do this we see the extra normal manifesting like in that 10 min video clip. So yes, to us music is a God giving talent that we are trying to utilize to the fullest extend. We use it to lay down the foundation (atmosphere) where He can do His work. Also, where we reach out normally, everyone is busy doing his own thing. We have to grab the attention of the bystanders enough to come listen to what we have to say. And here music plays no small part in it. It has to be powerful & it has to be loud to start off with. And yes, we are used to the police being called out as a result. However, to this day they've never stopped or even harassed us. They just listen for awhile and then move on & let us be to do His work... Cheers, Henni

I'm sorry Henni, but don't the people who are being subjected to this UNSOLICITED and in some cases, UNWANTED (someone DID call the police) high-decibel 'entertainment' have some rights.....like the right not to have their ears blasted off by someone trying to 'get their attention' (in order to) force THEIR beliefs down their throats. I know that if it happened in my neighborhood, the police WOULD be called, but mainly to clean up the mess and identify the bodies.
I get so tired of self-appointed 'do-gooders' trying to impose their will and beliefs on the rest of society, as though the rest of us are children, in need of parental guidance. I say, you believe what you believe and let the rest of us do the same. Want to feed the hungry? clothe the naked; fine, I applaud that; but do it without the proselytizing.
JMO, of course. And yes, this topic does need to be discussed in THE BAR (in fact, a BAR is a very appropriate place for this type of discussion, as it takes quite a few drinks for most religions to make sense).

I guess, people think whatever you do in the name of god must be a good thing.Even killing!! As long as you do "God's" work , it's ok.It's been done thousands years ago, it's been done hundreds years ago, it's being done today and it will be done tomorrow too.Haleluya!!!!!

No mates, Religion is not involved. Let me tell you how it is: Any human consists of a soul, a spirit & a body. All of us are three beings in one. When one surrenders his/her life unconditionally to Jesus, the Bible says that He replaces their Spirit with His. He removes their hearts of stone & gives them hearts of flesh that can obey Him. It is a supernatural thing. The very next day one develops this extreme, supernatural hunger for the Bible and one cannot put it down. It gets carried wherever one goes in ones back pocket. Then the first name calling starts, EXACTLY as spelled out in the Bible. The first thing one is labelled is being a "Bible Puncher" This did not come by choice. It came as a direct result of a touch from Him. And then the changes start, by itself, from the inside out. It is He changing one, not one deciding to change ones lifestyle. I have much, much more to say on this, but it will only result in this thread being locked. We carry LIFE within us, not religion!!! His life flows in us, through us & out of us. We are new creatures, EXACTLY like stated in His Word. He wrote His laws on our hearts - we can NEVER be he same again! And all it took was a sincere prayer in which we surrendered completely and unconditionally to Him. Me & Monica neither belong to nor visit any church. We have no one teaching us or motivating us but His Holy Spirit. Yet see what we do & where we go. "It is Him working in us both to will & to do of His good pleasure", EXACTLY like stated in His Word. Real Christianity is a experience & a VERY real one too. It is not a set of rules. It's having His life inside of one. There are many "corpses" walking around professing to be believers, yet they've never had a touch from Jesus in all of their lives. Being brought up in a Christian home does not make one a believer, neither does going to a church. It is a personal handover to Jesus and the change ONLY happens after the handover, regardless of ones age or status. It happens at a specific moment and everyone who've been there can point back to that EXACT moment that he/she was "born AGAIN". And here's another good test for those proclaiming to be believers: If one fears death, i.o.w. being killed, one does not know Him, neither has one had a touch from Him. For those who did long to be with Him more than anything else. They'll constantly put their lives at risk to make sure as many come to hear about His salvation as possible. Aaaahhh, but let me stop here. I think this should suffice. All I want to point out over here is the difference between religion & real Christianity. Most who call themselves Christians aren't, even the Bible states so. The Bible says more or less (yes, I can quote it accurately if I wish) that even the demons believe in God, yet they shudder & tremble when they think on their ends. Only believing that there is a God does not make one a Christian. This is "religion" in action. The Bible says that the letter kills, but the Spirit gives LIFE! It is as simple as that!!! Read more on what it takes to be His here. Cheers mates, Henni

Henni, not everyone on the planet is religious, we all have varying degrees of what we do, or do not, believe in. I don't believe what you believe, and that's why we have our individual freedoms in this nation. I sincerely believe in helping my fellow man to help him or herself. I place no constraints upon this - none! Please, I implore you, cease and desist this religious quest to convert the world to your form of belief. I am an agnostic and it's what I choose to be. I don't try to preach my agnosticism to others, and I don't really believe this type of religious tirade should be permitted on an informational and entertaining music forum. Just my two cents worth, carry on, Gary

Henni, you were doing so well there for a while. I have no problem with you and your wife helping those that need help....I try to do the same and have tried to instill that concept in my children. It's the 'other' stuff that causes the problems. Why can't we just be good human beings because centuries of human experience have taught us that 'loving thy neighbor' beats the heck out of 'killing thy neighbor' and that in helping others, we may well see that help returned one day ("pass it forward"). I just feel that we can do this without necessarily being 'touched' by Him, our imaginary friend. The pictures are touching, to be sure, but I can't help but reflect on how these people came to be in that situation in the first place. Isn't it ironic that the man who wrote Amazing Grace was a slave ship captain? Or that these people live in a country that has probably the most natural wealth on the planet. Golly gee, wonder what happened there. Of course, you can come over here and visit some of our 'Native American' reservations and I can show you some pretty good parallels. Of course we let a handful of them 'appear' to own a couple of casinos, so I guess that makes everthing alright and all is forgiven. At least they got to keep their own religion (which tends to favor Nature over the Holy Trinity or the only blond, blue-eyed, Nordic type born in the Middle East ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif) . My (unsolicited) advice; keep up the good humanitarian work but think of it as a stopgap. What's really needed is EDUCATION - you know, "teach a man to fish.......etc.". Look, I DO believe your heart is in the right place. I just think when you feed somebody it should be because they are hungry, not because you want to 'save their souls'. JMO, of course. chas

God bless you, Henni (and Monica). I want to recognize your wonderful loving spirit and to encourage you. God is doing great work in you and through you.
Thank you also, for speaking so passionately about what you are involved in. Like Don, I believe that everything you said was interesting, appropriate and within the context of the topic.
Blessings

I just finished a rather long response to the above responses. I decided NOT to post it but to post the following instead.
Since I recognize I’m not considered one of the members of the “inner circle” here anyway and since I “say it like it is” anyway, I’m going to state.....
First of all this post, and it’s true meaning (about personal experiences associated with a possible Higher Power), spiraled right out of control with what I considered to be an incendiary post by Chas directed at Henni.....that then became the new topic.
Second, I’m absolutely shocked by what I read here.....the anger, the atheism proclamations, the quick judgment calls, the misunderstanding about should you be playing “religious songs,“ political views about religion that have more to do with killings and control of the population than with music, religion in the schools, the attack on Henni for trying to do something to make the world a better place (would you have more respect for him if he were a drug dealer selling his wares on a street corner?).....and, above all, the disrespect for another member who was genuinely seeking comments about a topic that has been important to him for many years.....that member being ME! I’m a very deep thinker and this topic I brought up I’ve never been able to discuss with anyone.
I never viewed the SynthZone as another DisneyWorld, but then I never saw it as an arena for gladiatorial combat either!
Yes, I considered putting the question in the Bar, but decided to lay it down here as most of you know something about me by now, where I’m coming from, my recent “burnout,” my view on other issues, my personality, my curiosities about music and life in general, etc. In the Bar, I would be just another Joe Smith coming out of nowhere. Besides, I was of the opinion, that if the topic is not appealing to you or goes against YOUR beliefs, then the member would just pass over it rather then take it upon himself to enter into battle!
I’m understanding more than ever now why they say if you want to stay on friendly terms with someone.....don’t discuss politics or religion (the weather seems to be a safe subject.....or is even that grounds for volatility now?).
I think in the future, being painfully aware that any club, anywhere is going to be a microcosm of the real world, I’m going to stick with questions about keyboards, speakers, and, maybe, what’s the best way to barbecue hamburgers?
BTW.....points to Chas for having enough consideration to apologize for my post being tossed into the SynthZone paper shredder (“on behalf of all the miscreants who contributed to the southward direction of this thread, our sincere apologies to Mark79100, the OP.”)
And, above all, an overabundance of thanks to Spalding for introducing some common sense and hearing what I actually said and maybe explaining it better than I could have (message #390925).
Mark (with no red letters this time around!)

Mark-I think if you put a juicy bone like this out there, you're going to get a wide array of responses that truly cover the waterfront. Surely, you realized that before you posted, yes?
To the specific question of a higher power, for those of us who don't believe in one, where does our inspiration, abilities, skills, etc. come from?
I say the higher power would be roughly equivalent to the degree people have a willingness to work at one's craft, the sum-total of one's life experience and their awareness/consciousness of that, and luck.
In other words, I say each of us is, in a way, the "higher power." We've put the time in, we've worked at our craft and allowed life to influence our art. I also think luck has a great deal to do with it as so often in life circumstances beyond one's control set the course we pursue.
Its a trait that is inherent in us as a species. Some have developed it to a stunningly high degree. Others enjoy it passionately via others. While it's music for us, it might be poetry, dance, sculpture, painting, writing, etc. for someone else.
To me, it is an expression of our humanity. That others wish to give credit to some other thing or concept, doesn't bother me in the least.

By the way, be nice to Christians who proselytize. They are doing it because they love you! God gives you perfect freedom to agree or disagree, but please also do so in love! Penn Jillette, British comedian and well known outspoken atheist explains it very well in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owZc3Xq8obkBlessings

And also, be nice to Atheists who do not proselytize...they aren't doing it, because, they love you. ![](http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Winks/j_gaba.gif) Also, Penn Jillette is an American illusionist, comedian, musician, inventor, actor, and best-selling author known for his work with fellow magician Teller in the team Penn & Teller. He is also known for his advocacy of atheism, scientific skepticism, libertarianism and free-market capitalism. His partner Teller is also an atheist, debunker, skeptic. I really enjoy their work and their views. Ian

Ian and Gary, sorry about getting Penn's nationality wrong. I do not think the point Penn makes works in reverse but will continue the discussion in the bar. I just wanted to temper some of the surprisingly aggressive approaches taken by some of the atheists on the board to Henni's passionate arguments. It looks like I did a poor job!
