American Idol and the Sin Wagon
Last night, I started watching American Idol. Now, throughout the course of the show, I have been hoping that Carrie Underwood would win(although, I was hoping Constantine would make it too, mainly because he is hawt!). See, I have a problem with idol music. I hear their songs on the radio when the competition is all over, and it drives me crazy. That is why I was going for Carrie, because she is a country girl, and I love country music. But then last night, she opened up the evening with a rendition of a Dixie Chicks song. Now, you also must understand that I love the Dixie Chicks. I love their voices, and their flare for fun music. But they have one song, one song that turns my stomach. One song that had made me throw out their cd(several times, I have issues with bying cds back). The song; Sin Wagon. Let me quote some of it for you:
Im on a mission to make something happen
feel like Delilah looking for Samson
Gonna do a little mattress dancing
thats right I said mattress dancing
Praise the Lord and pass the amunition
give me a little bit more of that
12 ounce nutrition
I dont know where Ill be crashing
but im arriving on a
sin wagon
When its my turn to march up to glory
Im gonna have one hell of a story
thats if he'll forgive me
oh Lord please forgive me
I'll Fly away(to the tune of the hymn)
on a sin wagon
This song is horrible. It disgusts me. It basically says I believe in God, i will follow Satan, and when the end comes for, Ill beg for forgiveness. It is basically pointing the middle finger to the heavens.
And of course, this is the song that Carrie sang last night. My stomach turned. And I just felt sick, because to be able to sing those words just to get votes really says something about the state of your heart. Its so sad. Its so sad that we live in a world that despises the cross of Christ, that despises God, that rejects the truth. It is one thing not to believe in God, but imagine believing in God and telling him that what he did means nothing to you.
As far as Carrie Underwood goes, she lost my vote(not that I can vote), as far as the Dixie Chicks go, Im really sad that one of the only songs they actually wrote themselves on the "Fly" album, is none other than Sin Wagon. But as far as Christians go, do we live that way, and not put into a song? Do we use God's grace a lisence to sin? I have been guilty of this at times in my life, ill be honest.
But, one thing I can tell you, I dont plan on arriving at the pearly gates on a sin wagon, I plan on arriving there covered with the blood of Jesus.
