Rollin With The Flow

Once was a thought inside my head before I’d reach thirty, I’d be dead.
Some how on and on I go. I keep on rollin with the flow

Folks said that I would change my mind. I’d straighten up and do just fine.
Oh, But I still love Rock and Roll. So I keep rollin with the flow.

While guys my age are raisin kids, I’m raisin hell just like I did.
I’ve got a lot of crazy friends. They forgive me of my sins.

Some might be callin me a bum, But I’m still out here havin fun
Jesus loves me yes I know. So I keep on rollin with the flow

You can’t take it with you when you're gone, But I want enough to get there on.
And I ain't never growin old if I keep on rollin with the flow.
No I ain't ever growin old if I keep on rollin with the flow
I keep on rollin with the flow.

Mark Chestnut

We like this guy. He’s like Peter Pan in Justins-- still boot skootin, boozin, and breakin hearts. He raises hell on Saturday night, but he does remember the children’s song “Jesus Loves Me” on Sunday. And of course, he has a lot of “crazy friends” who forgive him. He’s made it past thirty but doubts his life style will get him much farther--although with luck who knows. Mick Jagger is pushing 65. He ain’t groin old, but when he’s gone, he “wants enough to get there on.”

What is enough for us to get there on? Can we wait till we’re gone to find out? Does the fact that Jesus loves us mean that He simply forgives us and lets us continue to keep on rollin with the flow? Many today think so. The Apostle Paul does not.

He is the Apostle of Grace. More than any other writer in the New Testament he declares that we stand right before God in the end is by depending only on Christ—His death and His resurrection. Many accuse Paul of shattering the Tablets of Moses and throwing open the doors to the kind of behavior Mark Chestnut sings about. Why not take a look for yourself at what the Apostle does say about the Grace --Law connection in Romans 13:8-10 and then check out my thoughts about this issue on our Truth Encounter audio this week titled "The Unpayable Debt."

I would love to hear your thoughts about this strategic issue that has been debated since the Reformation, and most of all I would covet your prayers so that in my personal life I will allow the Spirit of Jesus to daily help me not to be like the priest who walked right by the wounded man in Jesus powerful story about the Good Samaritan.
