Religion and Christianity have nothing in common. Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to this world. A demon's favorite activity is making an unsaved person feel religious. You need Jesus Christ my friend. Your faith plus the Gospel equals eternal life. The Gospel excludes all forms of self-righteousness. We are saved by HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, that is, the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ (Romans 4:6; 2nd Corinthians 5:21 - note that all Scriptures are quoted only from the faithful, King James Bible).

There was once a very popular steel guitar club in New York with the motto “promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” I was saddened to learn 10-years later that they had changed their club's motto to, “promoting the gospel of the steel guitar.” That is so sad.

There's only one Gospel and that's the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen for our sins...

I love the steel guitar. I love music. Albeit, I love God first and foremost. I am saddened when I hear famous musicians saying that their goal in life is to promote the steel guitar. What about God? What about the Gospel of Jesus Christ? There will be many tears in eternity, when men and women stand before God (2nd Corinthians 5:9-11).

What happiness will a Christian have in Heaven, realizing that you spent your life playing steel guitar, without ever leading any lost sinners to Jesus Christ, by the saving power of the Gospel (Romans 1:16)? The only true happiness in life is winning souls to Jesus Christ. Dwight L. Moody said that, and I agree wholeheartedly. Psalm 126:5 tells us, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Amen and amen. Proverb 11:30, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” The Seed is God's Word (1st Peter 1:23). We are saved by obeying the Gospel, by simply believing on Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, Who came into the world to SAVE SINNERS (Matthew 18:11; John 3:17-18; 1st Timothy 1:15).

The steel guitar is the most beautiful music this side of Heaven as far as I'm concerned. Albeit, the only true Paradise that I think of when hearing and performing Hawaiian steel guitar is in Heaven with Jesus. I look forward to performing pedal steel guitar in eternity. Romans 8:32, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Born-again Christians will have eternity to play music together, but now we need to mainly be busy about the Master's business preaching the Gospel to reach the lost for Christ.
