Satan, The Fallen Worship Leader


*The last (ex)angel, Lucifer, served God in worship, like many of us. I find it quite uncomfortable to be compared with the devil, but the truth is that we we need to keep on our toes against vanity and pride.*

*As seen on Guitarpraise

Hey guys, this is the start of what I hope will be more activity on my part on updating the blog more regularly. Exams are over, so there's no excuse :P!

I just thought I'd share something interesting, and slightly concerning, that I found on the front page of Guitarpraise. It concerns the three named angels of The Bible, Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer, and their works for God. Should've read that passage more clearly! I find it extremely disconcerting that Satan himself was the original angel of worship to God. The article talks about Lucifer being a being of perfection, which caused him to be prideful, and also caused the eventual slide to his fall out with God... I find it hard to believe that this is a coinicidence, right after playing at honestly, a huge event for many people. The article then warns us, specifically musicians, to be wary of our pride. It can be quite the poison, that emotion... I encourage you all to check it out, it is a very well written article from the GP admin, and should be thought upon.
