Well I hear what alot of you are saying that b/c they left out the name of Jesus. I am a christian and very proud of it I LOVE my Jesus with all of my heart. and frist off you know what yeah they did change the name of Jesus to Shephard but “HELLO” Jesus/God is the only God who is really referred to as Shephard. How often do you hear people calling Buhda there Shephard.
Secondly Shout To The Lord is in the top 25 songs sung in Chrisitan Churchs TODAY it has been in the top of the Chats for 8years since Darlene Zcheck wrote it. God is using that song in a very cool way. Thirdly you people who are saying that the idols were wrong for standing up there and singing that song if they say there Christians is retarted because it is what is in the hart maybe they were standing up there and singing with there whole hart to there Jesus. Forthly wouldn’t you rather have a secular show singing a Christian SONG. and Fithly what if that song braught someone closer to Jesus or let me think even led them to a relationship with Jesus Christ. Because they sang that song and maybe just maybe they heard that song once before and God touched them last night. GOD is a powerful God he can use everything for Good. and I believe that God can use there song that they sang to touch many lives. and i’m sorry but it’s Christians like you who slam the secular world and turn people away from christ. Instead you could be saying wow look what Idol did they stepped out and sang Christian song look what God can do with that look at the lives he can change!!!!!!
It’s not my filter, It’s God’s filter I try to live by.
Yes, just one “small” name was left out……..the most important….Jesus…….one word can change everything. “Lord there is none like you”…..”my Savior”……..
Sing a Jewish song, sing a Muslin song…..This is your right in our society….But don’t leave out the name of Jesus that is meant to be the core of this “Christ centered” song.
All I know is that it brought tears to my eyes. That’s one of my all time favorite songs, and to see them all dressed in white singing “praise to the King” was incredible. As far as them taking out the name of Jesus, I’m sure it was for pc reasons, but still, we all worship the same God, even if some don’t realize who He really is. Some day when he comes again, they will all know this.
I just about fell off the couch when I heard what they were singing. I’ve sang that song with our worship group at Church for years. I had chills. People will google that song and end up buying the original because of how more powerful it sounds. In life, we are either part of the problem or part of the solution.
I agree with Heather. Even the smallest things are wonderful if they get any message, get any “Jesus publicity” as I like to call it. It was mildly dilluted and maybe some of the Idols didn’t really know what they were singing….but MAYBE it touched even one of them. The song is pretty transparent in Jesus being who the song is about. It bothers me so much that Christians are so quick lto put everything through their “filter”. I think it is is awesome that when you go on the net today, there is such a buzz about worship and God. And I was so glad that I could hear a song that my heart connected to last night and I could rejoice in that song and know that all over North America, others were joining in that praise. What an awesome thing.
I thought the song was awesome. But the whole ben Stiller thing, classless….absolutely classless. I bet imon was layghing all the way to the bank. I was glad to see the song used, but was dissapointed that it was changed to leave Jesus out. My sermon this Sunday is “Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid”……be careful filks…this is ok as long as you knowthe difference between the truth and the wiles of the Devil……a little bite here..a little bite there…
Have you all gone mad? This is beautiful! Praise God that there’s a light in the darkness of the world of television. You have to praise Him for even the small steps like this. You have no idea how He could use this to transform the lives of those singing this song. You’re acting like pharisees in my opinion.
I have not watched American Idol this season. The song they sang is not a “Christian” song siince they left out the name of Jesus. It is a “worldly” stage that they are singing on and it mirrors what so many of today’s churches are doing. When it is more important to be “politically correct” than to stand for the Truth, then false converts will be made. The way this song was sung, does not give glory to the One and only God. It is much like the way Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Robert Schuller and others have signed a pact with the Muslims trying to establish unity. In the pact it says that they both worship the All-Merciful One (that is terminology that Muslims use in referring to God). They have made Jesus equal to Muhammed as being a prophet of God. At no time do they say that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Don’t be fooled by a false religion and don’t be fooled by songs that “pretend” to be Christian. We must have some discernment as to what is true!
I never watch this show but last night during channel surfing I cought pretty much most of it…allthough I agree with your comments…I still think it was awesome to hear it on secular TV!!! I love that song!!!
Did you notice they left out the name of Jesus? They said “My Shepherd, My Savior” instead of “My Jesus, My Savior”. They re-vamped the song as a praise to the generic “lord” rather than the one true Lord. It’s amazing what a politically correct world we live in.
have been a big Idol fan, but now, I think I will boycott the show. If I don’t, what kind of example am I setting for my children? Its not lukewarm, it is wolves in sheeps clothing trying to dilute, devalue,re-direct focus, blasphemy……….Oprah kind of religion. I don’t think some of the contestants even thought about this…….? Its a free country,I know, but “Christ followers” must listen to the Holy Spirit when these events occur and know that this is not Christ Jesus that is beng praised. Its “whatever” God you believe in. I am very disappointed, but not surprised. If I was a Idol contestant and professed myself as a “Christ follower”, believe that Jesus is God and he is the only way to salvation through repentment, commitment, and belief……….I could have never sang the song the way they did.
It was absolutely amazing seeing the Idols perform Shout to the Lord. I’ve been singing that song year after year in chuch, and seeing them sing it was amazing and a true testament. Spreading God’s word little by little can make a difference more than we can even imagine.
