Going Solo

 

I consider myself to be a singer  --but alto or low tenor but never solo.    I can harmonize with a squash but I can't go it alone/  Nor did I ever want to carry the lone road by myself musically.

But I have to admit that I never wondered where the word "solo" came from.  I just read it the other day.  It means "alone".  I was reading an article on theology and I kept reading about "Sola Scripture" and I had no idea what they were talking aboug.   This article clearly said:  "Sola Scripture --it contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness."

Interesting reading.  Protestants think there  are 5 theological pillars which come from the Reformation.
By Scripture alone
By faith alone
By grace alone
Through Christ alone
Glory of God alone

This bears out much more thought and reading.   I need to study alone and do some "sola" thinking.  Are all of these free-standing?  Can I come to God on any of these solo terms?   Or would I rather harmonize and come to God with harmony and sync of all.  This is a holy quest for those of us who seek to walk alone in the search for the holy grail!
