A Lesson from Family Force 5

Posted by Posted by Kirk Bowman On 10:10 AM



I love concerts. The whole experience of live music, all the people, the vibe, the feel, the atmosphere.

Last night – Family Force 5 and Flyleaf at The Orange Peel.

There was an opening band even before FF5. They were good enough but it is tough to be an opener. Anyway….

FF5 is a fun band. That’s all. They are Christians but they are not trying to do “Christian” music. They are just fun.

My big thought from watching them: Confidence is a very cool thing.

They are totally comfortable with who they are and what they do. Confidence exudes something amazing.

I heard someone say once that actors need to get over needing to have the approval of their audience. That “need” puts something in the atmosphere that is counterproductive to their performance.

I think it’s important to be confident – in God, in your calling and in who you are. It helps everyone around you relax. It helps you fulfill your call.

“Don’t throw away your confidence. It has great reward” Hebrews 10:35

    When someone bathes themselves in righteousness you can literarily smell the fragrance of confidence. In the same way when someone does not bathe regularly you can smell the odor of insecurity.Imagine the aroma the church could have if we all would soak our souls in the suds of the Savior on a daily basis.

    Absolutely! Well said!

    How do we get confidence if we don't have it? We need to meditate on specific verses about confidence. Proverbs 3:26 says, "For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger]."

    Here's another good scripture: "In the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children shall always have a place of refuge." -Proverbs 14:26
