I've taken some time to write out my thoughts here. Many have wondered why I'd use a "negative" word to describe God. I think that by trying to clarify what the song was saying he added to the confusion behind the controversy.This is what he had to say, "Many have asked me for clarity on the phrase, "reckless love". This is the statement that Cory Asbury released after many people questioned his theology regarding his lyrics. I was not made aware of the controversy surrounding the popular song "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury until about a week ago, but now that I am aware this is what I have concluded.The controversy surrounding the song is how the term reckless is used to describe God's love. Worship was created to glorify God, and not to argue over what kind of theology the artist used to write the song. For example, that the song was not biblical and should not be sung in churches. I normally don't pay attention to negative things that people say about worship music, but the things that people were saying caught my attention. This was what came to be known as the "first Thanksgiving".įirst things first I do not agree with people getting so caught up in the specific theology of a song that they forget who they are singing the song to. Although they didn't have much, they were thankful about their survival and the help of Squanto. This day was to give thanks to God for everything that they had. There was no pumpkin pie or wonderful desserts that we share with our families on this day. There was no turkey, as is customary today, but instead, deer was on the menu. The governor invited their Native American allies and they all shared a three day festival. He was their guide and translator.Īfter their first successful harvest, the governor of their colony decided that a feast was necessary. He taught them to hunt, fish, and harvest. When Squanto met the colonists, they were malnourished and barely surviving. He was saved and returned to his homeland 2 years later. After he came home, he was again abducted and taken to Spain where he was to be sold into slavery once more. He escaped to London and found his way home on an exploratory expedition. He had been kidnapped by an English sea captain and sold into slavery in England. Squanto was a member of the Patuxet tribe. Although his background was something that I was never taught. I learned in school that Squanto was very friendly and helped the colonists, which is true.
