#worship

I asked one of my readers, Jeffrey Painter, to assemble a list of good worship songs for men. He came up with 45. Consider this a down payment. If someone would like to expand this list, let me know.

The relevant hymns of the faith, both ancient and modern, offer us a vocabulary for expressing our fears, anxieties, and questions to the One who hears.

The future of worship music in American churches is poised for continued transformation. It will be shaped by a blend of technological advancements, cultural shifts, and a desire for authenticity and emotional depth.

What role does worship have in seeing the impossible happen in people? Could it be we’ve underestimated what is going on in the room?

The next worship leaders are ready to act, taking their creative calling seriously and understanding the vital role worship leaders play in the holistic spiritual formation of the next Christians.

As Christians we must understand that music is an expression, or overflow, of the indwelling Holy Spirit controlling us (Ephesians 5:18-19). It is also the “word of Christ” at work in our hearts that gives us cause to sing (Colossians 3:16).

If those of us who lead worship want congregants to be participators rather than spectators, then we must facilitate worship not just depending on our own strengths and abilities.

Songs of praise that believers offer to God in worship are directly associated with His future victory over His enemies and the redemption of His people.
