Some might call me egotistical.
Some no doubt consider me a religious fanatic.
Some might even suspect me of being delusional.
But I just happen to be under the conviction that I have been
given a special gift
from God,
and
a unique “voice” as
a composer.
I really don't take any special pride in that. The recipient of a gift can hardly take credit for being the recipient, can he?
No, the truth is that I feel more a deep sense of responsibility and almost a burden.
Because if it is true that I have a special gift and a special calling, then I also have a deep obligation to give God a return on the investment He has made in me. “From everyone who has been given much, much will be required.” I do not want to let Him down.
In the short term, I just want to create an outlet for the fruit of my efforts. I don't expect to get rich and famous. But I do want the music that He has given me to find its intended audience. If you're reading this, chances are, that's you.
In the long term, I would love to see this venture become a new kind of
venue and a community gathering place for like-minded composers and musicians.
I want it to be much bigger than just me. I want it to be an expression
of His love working in His people, as a testimony to an increasingly self-centered
and mammon-oriented world.
“Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.”
Psalm 33:3
