The songs we sing influence the things we believe. Even if we aren’t consciously aware of it, what we sing will inevitably have a profound impact on us. This is because singing is interactive and multi-faceted. It ties words to rhythms and rhythms to pitches. The resulting melody and…

One of the defining traits that Jesus said would be true of his followers was their love for one another (John 13:35). Unfortunately, that love is not always evident in the way Christians disagree with each other. It’s not that disagreement itself is bad. In fact, passionate debate…

If you’ve struggled with this question, you’re not alone. Many Christians find prayer awkward and difficult. Prayer can and should be very meaningful and encouraging in the life of a believer, but it can be especially difficult for those who find themselves asking,…

Soon after I got married, I had the privilege of traveling with my wife Becca to Knoxville, TN to watch her play Alto Sax in the University of Tennessee Alumni Marching Band. As I was standing outside of Neyland Stadium waiting for the band to go by, I couldn’t help but notice several…

It should go without saying that worship gatherings are about God. However, many Christians have taken something that is supposed to be about God and have made it about themselves instead. I’m talking about worship. Specifically, worship music. This issue has become a point of great…

Singing New Songs for the Future of the Church

  • One comment
Singing new songs is important. The Psalmists repeatedly called for people to “Sing to the LORD a new song.” Not only is there precedent for this in Scripture, it’s also one of the many great traditions passed down to us by our ancestors in the faith. Christians and churches have been…

It has been said that the cradle of Christ lies in the shadow of the cross. Jesus himself declared that the purpose of his coming was to “give his life as a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:28, ESV). However, something like the reverse of that great statement is also true. The…

For Christians, the birth of Jesus lies at the heart of the Christmas celebration. However, Scripture does not ever actually make a claim as to when Jesus was born. Scholars have suggested a variety of potential dates for Jesus’ birth, but there is no real consensus on the matter. It…

Imagine this scene with me: you’re at the annual Christmas pageant at a local Christian school. The children’s choir is singing “Away in a Manger” as the newborn standing in for baby Jesus cries unconsolably. Most of the audience is too distracted to notice the irony…

So far in this series of articles, I have argued that Jesus’ physical resurrection serves as the model for that of those who trust in him (Part 1) and that the resurrected bodies promised to believers will have continuity with their current physical bodies (Part 2). This flies in the…
