"Sing to the Lord a new song." (Isaiah 42: 10)

Captain Sensible writes: Contrary to what Christians are being taught today, Psalm 78:64 shows us that a sign of God's anger was that: "Fire consumed their young men, and their maidens had no wedding songs."
Note The Bible doesn't say: "Fire consumed their young men, but their maidens (and more mature maidens even?) had the gift of singleness, so that was alright then."
Instead, Scripture shows us that God wants to hear "The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride..." (Jeremiah 33: 11) in places that appeared previously to be desolate.
On the brink of a new year, we have a choice to make.
What song are we going to sing in 2007? The old one? Or a new one?
May 2007 bring wedding songs and the joyful voices of bridegroom and bride, instead of yet more lectures on contentment with singleness -- a state which God appears to be far from content with Himself.
Frieda would also like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. She would have done this herself, but she is of course babysitting her nephews and nieces tonight. Some people seem to prefer to sing the old song.
How about you?
