I do not take the subject lightly, but I have no conventional training. Not that anyone should be impressed by formal religious training. It is not wise to trust authorities merely because they are said to be in authority, and their authority comes from men who say they are authorized by God.
Like all religious leaders, I also claim to have authority from God. The authentication of my authority is in my gifts which were given me by God through the power of Jesus Christ. If you know Christ, then what I say should resonate with you as being authoritative, if you and I are not on the same wavelength, we will have discord. As we all come into the unity of Christ and grow up into him, I expect that my resonance with other true believers will increase, as we all increase in the knowledge of Christ.
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
I do and teach the things which God has taught me to do or teach. I preach the good news of Jesus Christ and I teach the practice of Christianity in this present world. We ought to practice what we preach, and that is the focus of my teachings and the purpose of my music. To communicate the fundamental ideas of Christianity and to help believers obtain the things promised in the scriptures.
