Faithful Father-Faithful Bride. . . What an exciting time it is to be alive! You and I, dear reader, could have been born at any time, on any continent, but God chose that we should live at this time in this chapter of world history. Here in the opening decades of the twenty-first century, Christians are facing challenges around the world. In the Middle-East and in Africa and Asia believers are being persecuted and executed just for being Christian. Here in the West, we see more and more of Christian belief and activity being strangled by the lawlessness of government and the "political correctness" in our schools, media, and institutions. In the midst of all of this, we are called to be the spotless Bride of Christ. We read in the Bible that in the last days, that there will be a great falling away and that only those who endure to the end will be saved. Our success in this calling is dependent on our understanding of the faithfulness of God. It is only as we come to know Him and the excellence of His character that we are able to remain faithful. Even then, it will require more than just grit and determination. Throughout history, many have vowed to remain faithful but have failed. To be successful, we must develop habits and disciplines that will position us for that success and will result in a lifestyle of faithfulness. In the chapters of this book, we will discover the magnificent faithfulness of God and we will explore those disciplines that will ensure that we remain that faithful Bride.

"Somewhere in my late 50s I realized that I was losing interest in music. After forty-some years as a fan, would-be player, student, musician, performer and teacher, I realized that I just didn't care much anymore. Worse yet, it didn't seem to bother me. I had played and listened to music because I wanted to and needed to. Now I mostly played when I had to and wasn't listening with any particular interest. Ironically, I was working as a Music Therapist, using music to try and improve the lives of people with everything from Autism to Alzheimer's Disease. If music worked for them, why didn't it work for me? When the phrase, "Physician, heal thyself", is quoted in the New Testament, it's cited as a "proverb", meaning it was already an old notion two thousand years ago. "Musician, heal thyself" was almost the title of this book. When we try to fix something, it helps to know how it worked when it was working properly. I was going to have to start at the beginning." "Bruce Springsteen once wrote, "I swear I found the Secret to the Universe / in the engine of an old parked car". Well, I didn't do that but I did look into an old comic drinking song and found the ancient roots of a major religious belief system. And I realized that, from a neurological standpoint, playing music is the closest you can get to tickling yourself. You may have seen someone crunch Wint-O-Green LifeSaver candies in a dark room to produce sparks but you might not know how that phenomenon can apply to amplifying guitars." " There's a story h
