These things don’t always resonate with everyone at all times. There are times in our lives when we just ‘aren’t feeling it’. But take heart Christian: for even on those days when our hearts aren’t feeling it, the days when the worries of this world drown out the natural response to God’s revelation of Himself to us, the rejoicing that is necessitated by it. Even on those days, the days our hearts are not in it, God’s heart is. He is committed to his people, for His glory, for our joy. He is faithful. He is steadfast. He is true.

The priority of any worship band should be the magnification of the voice of the congregation, and the priority in all our worship services should be the proclamation of the Word of God .

Songs have a unique way of wedging themselves into our hearts and minds. Who hasn’t had a song get stuck in their head - even an annoying little ditty - that they just can’t shake? Well, this is the way we teach these doctrines to our children: through theologically rigorous songs, that stick themselves into our hearts and minds in this unique way.

Authentic worship arises out of an authentic understanding of who God is.

One thing that always comes to mind about churches - and may seem a bit strange to our unbelieving neighbors - is that we are a singing people. Why is that? This may seem a silly question, but humor me: Why do we sing? Do we sing merely because we are told we have to? Do we sing because it’s what we’ve always done? Or do we sing because “the Gospel is so good that it has to be sung!”
