Shout to the Lord

American Idol singers all joined together to sing Shout to the Lord the other night. While some are saying this is a travesty (because they replaced "Jesus" with "Shepherd") I say it's an opportunity!

Romans 14:11 It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'"

What a beautiful opportunity to use this as a lead-in to sharing the gospel with American Idol fans! Why should we let Satan have victory over this? Let's use it to further the Kingdom!

I wholly agree! Not only was it awesome that the song was used 3 times that week on Idol, but Mariah Carey's song just before them actually had scripture being recited behind the track.

"For as the rain and snow come down from heaven and don't return without watering the earth to make it budding and fruitful so the sower has seed and the hungry have bread,
So shall it be for the Word that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I sent it forth to do!" Is 55.10-11 (paraphrased)

To God be all glory! Oh yeah, baby!
