It’s Wednesday and time to remember that God gave you tongue for many reasons, but one of those reasons surely is to return praise to Him! Today’s song takes us back to 1739 when the great hymn-writer Charles Wesley penned these words. Although we typically sing only about a fourth of what Wesley wrote, I’ve provided the entire lyric below. Carl G.…
On Tuesday I posted on reevaluating the role of the evangelist. In that post I basically argued through my personal testimony that to ignore the role of the evangelist is to ignore the Scripture. Today I’ll explore why churches aren’t using evangelists as much these days and will try to put forth a way of going forward so that we can be…
It’s Wednesday, and for followers of Jesus Christ, it’s a happy day! Today’s song rejoices in the happiness that Jesus brings by washing our sins away and changing our life around. Ben Cantelon and Tim Hughes wrote “Happy Day” in 2006 and published it through Thankyou Music. It’s an upbeat celebration of the joy of salvation. Sing along with Tim below. You…
One of the great pleasures of being a human is the ability to change your mind. That’s a tremendous blessing, especially when a wrong needs to be righted. I have striven to be a man of the Word. I want to live my life and do church as closely to the revelation that God has given us in the Bible. However, the…
Today at SBCtoday.com, which is maintained by Truett-McConnell College (the new “Traditionalist” intellectual Zion in the SBC), Dr Jerry Vines gives a written interview in an effort to promote his upcoming John 3:16 Conference, part deux. As everybody knows who has been following the soteriological debate in the SBC over the last decade, Dr Vines is no fan of the doctrines of…
It’s Wednesday, and it’s time to arise! Today’s Wednesday Is for Worship song will call you to do just that as we sing along with “O Church, Arise.” Written and published through Thankyou Music in 2005 by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, who have shown themselves to be today’s premiere modern hymn-writers, this song is a battle hymn for the church. We…
During the first decade of my childhood, my family had a big old wood-burning stove in our house to keep us warm in the winter. There was one thing that we always had to keep in mind: keep the fire stoked so that the fire would stay hot. I remember distinctly watching my dad, or doing it myself as I got older,…
Wednesday has rolled around again, and we have been given another opportunity to praise our great God for the provision of Jesus Christ! Today’s song has an ancient hymn feel to it, but it was written in 1989 by Dawn Rodgers and Eric Wyse. I’m talking about the most excellent song “Wonderful, Merciful Savior.” Published through Word Music, I first worshiped the…
Worship of God is one of the greatest joys offered to us. It’s what we were made for and where are souls find completeness. However, worship of God is not just a joy offered to us. It’s also an act commanded of us, as Psalm 100 so beautifully captures: 1 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Serve the LORD…
