Chapter 4: Having a Levitical Heart
 The tribe of Levi, were the pure hearted type who offered all they had to God. Their love however, was on the level past doing; being. Being God's love in the flesh on the earth is how they worshipped God, in all things that they did they did so as the glory of God would. If we give ourselves to Jesus, all we must do is our best; He will accomplish the rest.

My favorite part about this chapter is that the subject of attention was the attitude of the Levites. Pure hearts are a true rarity these days, but we can still make an effort to become like they were because all we must do is love God in our daily lives.
Chapter 3: having a humble, servant attitude
 In this chapter, everything that is mentioned compares what the Christian musician does, and what contrasts in his heart's will with God's will. When Christian musicians write songs, they often become hazily infused with the problems of this world rather than remaining purely devoted to God the Father. God created us with the gifts of having both talents and hearts. However, the use of one can far surpass the other if talents are abused; God's main desire for us is that we fill our hearts with love and give it back to Him. He wants us to use our talents along with our hearts. Both must be turned towards him or else they are meaningless.

Chapter 2: walking in the grace of God

In this chapter, we discover how we can disappoint God. We really can't change this in our lives, we are only human beings and we are far from perfect. As we sin, all we have to do is ask for forgiveness and change our lives and He will show us grace.
