Taylor Swift Theology
In the interest of full disclosure it needs to be said that I am not a Taylor Swift fan. I
have been to a Taylor Swift concert (as a chaperone for a son and his female friend) and I’m
still not a fan. I understand why teenage girls adore her, but I am not a teenage girl. I do not
consider her to be country, but pop with a little fiddle and banjo thrown in to make it down
home. I do respect her for writing her own songs, bearing her heart and, as Mark Twain
suggested, “write what you know.”
I do, however, love her song “Mean.” I mean it, I actually like that song a lot. And I
applaud her for handling her critics in a way that allows her to express the hurt she no doubt
feels at the awful things said about her, while at the same time not stooping to their level with
personal attacks, and making tons of money off of it to boot. Here’s why I like the song: it
calls attention to, and aptly describes the hurt that words can inflict upon people, while
appropriately rebuking the ones casting the verbal stones. The old nursery rhyme “Sticks and
stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is a big ole lie. The wounds I have
received from sticks and stones have always healed but the words I’ve been hit with don’t
ever fully go away. The saddest part is that Taylor Swift’s message could describe a lot of
“good Christian folks” who know better and are called to a higher standard.
Did you know 13 times in the New Testament Christians are told to “love one
another” (John 13:34; 15:12,17; Romans 13:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 3:11,
23; 4:7, 11-12; 2 John 1:5). The next time you think about saying mean or hurtful things about
someone, especially a fellow Christian, ask yourself, “Why do I want to say something like
this?” If that doesn’t stop you, read Matthew 5:22, “But I say unto you, That whosoever is
angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever
shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou
fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.”
If that doesn’t stop you, I guess nothing will. But maybe your toes will get stepped on
every time you hear Taylor Swift sing, “You with your words like knives and swords and
weapons that you use against me. You have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like
I’m nothing. You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I’m
wounded. You, picking on the weaker man....You, with your switching sides and your walk by
lies and your humiliation. You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don’t already see them.
I’ll walk with my head down trying to block you out ‘cause I’ll never impress you, I just
wanna feel ok again. Well, you can take me down with just one single blow but you don’t
know what you don’t know. Someday I’ll be living in a big old city and all you’re ever gonna
be is mean. Why you wanna be so mean?” Taylor Swift, I may not be a fan, but I will say
Amen!

The sign-up sheets for Building Lock-Up,
Communion Prep, and Nursery still need
volunteers!! We need someone for November
in building lock-up, March, June and August
for preparing the Communion, and several
weeks for keeping the nursery. Please consider
volunteering yourself for one of these good
works. These are three very easy opportunities
to serve the congregation. If you’ve never done
any of these, now is a good time to learn! The
sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board next to
the copy room.
Don’t forget to pick up
a Barnabas Sheet in the
foyer and send some
cards. If you have
someone you would
like to have cards sent
to, please write their
name and address on a
sheet of paper and give
it to Linda Crews or
Ginger Parker

that we send out a
