New York City! Where the stink is the sky? For this country raised individual it was rather fun to see a big city crammed together and to figure out how this thing works. Not that I haven't ever been to a big city before but this is NYC, hasn't this place been destroyed by aliens and other astronomical events about 100 times? I mean I've been to Tulsa and other places like it, but this had a different energy.
I wouldn't mind going back but if I do go back I might take a few musically inclined people with me because of a few reasons:
A) There were a group of Hindu people in the street just singing what seemed to be a joyful song and all the people crowded around seemed happy about it, which leads to this contrast...
B) All those who professed Christianity were screaming on the streets all these negative things, not letting the gospel do its job. They didn't allow for people to see Jesus.
Musically inclined people get your guitars tuned. I wouldn't mind going back and singing songs of hope on the street. I wouldn't mind going back and showing Christ right there on the street, none of this REPENT OF YOUR DIRTY SINS! Or GOD HATES EVIL! Some group of African American men were dressed in armor and yelled something out followed by BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN WHITE JESUS! Saturday night, Times Square....they were yelling a message of ridicule.
Made me want to join the Hindus.
But this city, like any city, is filled with good people. The whole time, I was having a fantastic time, but I couldn't help but wonder what would come of a simple gospel message through a great song on Times Square on a Saturday night. Do people need to repent? Of course, but that will come, it is an inevitable thing when someone accepts Jesus into their lives.
But that's just me I suppose.
All to God
