Fame is no indication of quality. This is especially true in today's society where fame is often achieved by those who are notorious in one way or another. We have developed superstars whose only key to their fame is in their ability to generate press coverage.
This proves true for all areas which garner superstars of fame: music; art; film; television; dance; sports; politics; science; publishing; etc, etc. And, when the notorious 'fame bug' circulates, it can even envelope unlikely areas such as one's personal home life... if you do something bad enough, you can quickly become today's headline news.
So, my point is: don't try to impress by pointing out how famous a person is, and using that as an indication of just how remarkable and great they are. Christ pointed-out that those who are great in God's kingdom are those who are 'servants to all'. He elevated the meek and lowly far above the famous and mighty.
About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
