Affinity is a Lo-fi-ish track that I started to track 2021, but never finished.

I've started to go through old projects to see what can be made into a finished song. I liked the guitar melody on this track and decided to try to finish it.

It is quite a repetitive song and would probably need a little bit more variation, but I decided to keep it as it is as a reminder of the days when I was at the beginning of my producer journey.

#windowremixchallenge Reason Challenge 2 new mix

Well here's a new single folks.  "My Stage" is a riff driven blues rock song that highlights the challenges provided by today's social media fuelled world while exploring the dichotomy being private in a public forum.  The song is written from the perspective of someone who has spent their past removed from society and suddenly thrust in to the glare of modern life.  Scrabbling to make sense of a world that moved on without them, this is a rallying cry to their own ego to go an seize what they perceive as their rightful  place amongst the posers and fakes.  It looks at a totally mundane thing through fractured eyes.
This is the lead single from our upcoming EP "Pressure Points", a 5 track EP that takes 5 aspects of life and sees they stress and pressure they create.  Taking social media, peer pressure, government, lust and madness and looking at them through the prism of a tortured soul.
The song is out for main release on Friday 10th November, so if you like it please go and buy it from the usual digitals stores.  Thanks for listening.

Powerful word by Ps Joshua Jere

Theme: Prioritize What Is Important

Scriptures: Luke 10:38-42 | John 11:1,5 | Psalm 27:1-5

INTRODUCTION 

We sometimes misuse the meaning of the word priority. It's easy to say, "I don't have time for church or to study". But in actual sense, you are saying that, "It is not my priority."

WHAT IS PRIORITY?

Fact or thing regarded as more important than other things. 

There are many things that are important, but priorities are 'more' important. 

John 11: 1

Martha was the one who welcomed Jesus into her house. Mary was a social person. Martha was a homemaker, taking care of people and of noble deeds. One of these characters is not better than the other, they are all needed, those who serve and those who are sociable. 

Mary expressed her love for Jesus by doing many works. And many people also express their love for Jesus by many works. However, doing many things can never be a substitute full worship (Mary at his feet). Martha was too busy doing things that she could not be available to worship Jesus. God does not want us to be mired up in all these things and all the circumstances of life that we forget real worship.

"Mary, who also sat at Jesus's feet..." (Luke 10:39). This implies that Mary was also busy with acts of service, but when Jesus came, she put aside those things to commune with Jesus. She took her time not to only welcome and serve Jesus, but she took time to sit and worship him.

Many times we do not have a relationship with Jesus and we try to do many things in order to make ourselves look good before him. Yet, worship is what Jesus is looking for. In all our serving, in all our doing, let us not forget the master. 

Our service and giving to God should be a reflection of our worship. Jesus loves your good deeds, but he wants more that you sit at his feet and worship. Let your worship emanate from your heart.

Martha went to Jesus to complain that she was serving alone. She thought her service was more noble. She complained about her sister, who was also doing her act of service before Jesus. When we focus more on our service, we forget that our service must be worship to Jesus. 

Psalm 27: 4 

One thing is more important, presence over duty.

Our 'one thing' changes per our circumstances, but the 'one thing' that Jesus requires is our worship.
If you take care of God's business, he will take care of yours.


WHO IS READY TO SIT AT THE FEET OF JESUS? 

Sitting at the feet of Jesus means recognising that he is top priority; pesence over duty. Prioritize what is important. 

David was a man after God's heart because his heart was constantly chasing after the heart of God. God is looking for a generation of men and women who will also sit at his feet. 

Jesus loved both Mary the worshipper and Martha the doer. But he did not like Martha the complainer. It is well to give your time to serve, but don't complain and don't forget the time to worship.

We need to be present for God to worship him out of love and not out of duty.
