I suspect that you are familiar with that fun Christian children’s song “Deep and Wide,” which alludes to the abounding grace of God found in Jesus Christ. The news of that deep and wide fountain needs to be spread far and wide. We need to spread the fame of God! To help you do that, here are 10 biblical ways to make…

Today I want to share with you a song that has been on my heart this week. I’m finding myself humming its melody and singing its lyrics. It’s a song published in 1787 from John Rippon’s Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors. No one is really sure who actually penned the words, but the melody is attributed to Joseph Funk from…
Today here at Wednesday Is for Worship, I want to point you to THE song that began to change my worship song taste buds. The Lord saved me when I was 17yo, and I soon headed off to Hanover College in Indiana. I got into worship leadership there on the campus and at Camp Loucon, which was the Christian summer camp in…
Well, it’s Wednesday, and I can’t make up my mind. Have you been there before? I do know which song I want to share with you, but I’m just not sure about which version. Today’s song is “Ain’t No Grave.” This spiritual was penned in 1934 by the fairly famous singer-songwriter and Pentecostal Holiness preacher Bro. Claude Ely. Ely pastored churches in…
My calendar says that it’s Wednesday again. So, let’s turn our attention to the worship of our great God. In fact, today’s worship offering is called “Our God.” Written in 2010 for the Passion conference by the big time team of Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, Jonas Myrin, and Matt Redman and published through Thankyou Music, the song was the first track on…
The other day I was thinking through the tragic loss of the fullness of what God created and blessed mankind with in the Garden of Eden. We live in a broken world. Indeed, Paradise has been lost. However, God has not abandoned His blessing to us because Paradise Lost is becoming Paradise Restored.
But even better is that God does not just restore Paradise. He improves Paradise. It’s like a cosmic Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. You know that on that show they never just restore the house back to what it was. They always make it way cooler than before. That’s exactly what God’s going to do with the universe! […]
Do you have anything to praise God for on this Wednesday? You’d better believe you do! You have manifold reasons, both big a small, to praise your Creator. Even if you are not a follower of Jesus Christ, you have lavishly experienced His common grace in the world around you and should return thanks to God, and if you are a follower…
It’s Wednesday. Last Wednesday was a dry Wednesday, but not this one!! Mercifully, it is raining, adding to the couple of inches of rain we’ve already received here in July after a June where we saw around a quarter of an inch of rain for the entire month. After a much-needed drink, my tomatoes and squash are blooming out again. Yes!! It’s…
Well, it’s Wednesday again. Are you ready to go to the mountaintop to worship the Lord? Today is a hymn written by one of the most endearing, enduring, and prolific writers of worship songs—Isaac Watts. He’s known as the “father of English hymnody” and credited with almost 520 songs. You probably know him best through his songs “Joy to the World!…
Good morning on this Wednesday! What a day it is to praise the Lord! We just finished up our Vacation Bible School this past Friday. We did Group’s “Sky” and had a wonderful time worshiping the Lord. One of the songs we sang last week has been on my mind constantly. It’s a newer worship song, but not brand new. In fact,…
