It’s almost 3:00p, but Wednesday isn’t over yet. Let’s turn our thoughts to worship with a simple but powerful song called “Forever Reign.” Written in 2009 by Jason Ingram and Reuben Morgan and published through Hillsong Music, I first worshiped the Lord with this song at the Connect worship time at my son’s school co-op under the leadership of Hunter Sparkman. My…

A blesséd Wednesday to you! One of the great wonders of history is the fact that God forgives sinners through faith in Jesus Christ. That’s absolutely amazing! He doesn’t just forgive believers a little. He forgives completely! He forgives much because there is much for which we need forgiveness. Just think about the depth of your sin and then think of the…
When I was leading worship, one of my favorite things to do was to find songs that bridged the generations, songs that were a combination of new and old, contemporary and traditional. That effort has been made easier over the last seven or eight years as there has been a substantial movement in worship music to add some fresh flavor to old…
Well, here’s a fresh one. It’s been on my heart for about a week now. I’ve been singing it. My wife’s been singing it. My son has been begging me to use it at our AWANA worship. It hit #1 this year on the Billboard Christian Music chart and is connecting with the hearts of worshipers everywhere. I’m talking about “10,000 Reasons…
A blessed Wednesday to you! It’s a good day to arise and praise the Lord, especially as the feel of fall is strikingly in the air. Today I’m going to take you back… way back to 1742. In that year, one of the finest hymns was put to paper called “Arise, My Soul, Arise.” Charles Wesley (the brother of the famous preacher…
It’s Wednesday once again. Are you ready to do a little shouting?! A shout of praise, that is. There’s a lot to shout about, and today’s song will help you along. “Shout to the Lord” was written in 1993 by Darlene Zschech and published through Hillsong Music Publishing. It is by far the most popular song Zschech has written. In fact, here…
Have you considered Colossians 1:15-17 lately? It says: He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all…
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…
