One of the main points that my pastor highlighted this week was that everything we think is ours– our time, our money, our physical bodies, our possessions, and our abilities– all belongs to God. I’m an apostrophe, or a semicolon, something small and comparatively insignificant, yet also an important part of the meaning of the sentence that is being communicated. I’m not living for myself, but as a marker, a sign that points people to God. I would like to point out that this quote from this song is exactly what we’re called to live as believers. “I’m an apostrophe, just a symbol to remind you that there’s more to see, I’m just a product of the system, a catastrophe, and yet a masterpiece” Imagine Dragons “Whatever It Takes” The Vertical View: Living for Someone Greater Most of the words describe various forms of discontent that the singer feels with his situation, his surroundings and even his own body, and the chorus describes chasing a high of some kind, probably what church-speak would call “fleshly desires.” But the BRIDGE of this song is what really struck a chord with me:
In this song, I think the general theme is wanting to break free of the typical and become something more. Imagine Dragons is a super amazing group, and one of their strengths is cleverly assembled lyrics that could mean any number of things. The Horizontal View: Searching for Something More Nugget: My life points to who God is and brings people to Him. This week, I was once again inspired by Sunday morning’s sermon to write about Imagine Dragons’ “Whatever It Takes.” Enjoy!įandom: Imagine Dragons “Whatever It Takes” Welcome back to another episode of The Gospel According To, where we connect all the inspiring, positive, uplifting things from this world with Bible verses and Biblical themes that will help us understand the Word better and gain a new way to talk about Jesus.
