"For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous person; though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8.

Title: Advice To Song Leaders in the Church (17 min)

Message Description:

This is a message I would love for any song leader in any church to hear. Do we have a theology of music in the church? Should we? Are we singing just to sound good, or are we seeking more to sound good in the sight of our blessed and holy God who’s pleased by the praises of his church? I hope it’s the latter. It is a similar truth that just like pastors are not “professionals,” song leaders are not “performers.” We should have no “stages” in church. Does our music feed the righteous soul more than it entertains the ear? Are we more moved by how we sing than what we sing about? I want song leaders to have a sound theology of song because singing is a wonderful part of Christian worship as a collective body. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” Psalm 150:6.

A link to the sermon mentioned in this message is below. It was preached by Pastor Matt Boswell on 7 May 19 at Parkside Church in Cleveland, OH, out of Psalm 96:1-3. It can help anyone to develop a theology of music in the church: https://www.truthforlife.org/resources/sermon/theological-vision-singing/

A wonderful debate where Dr. White makes the case that Islam cannot make its case.
An oldie, but a goodie. This message rocked me when I first heard it roughly 20 years ago now. It's just in audio format, but I'd really like you to give it a listen. Are Roman Catholics our brothers and sisters in Christ, or are they the mission field? You be the judge.
Dr. White always seeks to represent his opponents fairly. As he'd like to be represented by them, he seeks to represent them, and to be a good ambassador for Christ. His debates with many Muslim apologists are of great value to the Christian church. You'll find no shortage of materials from him on the matter. Here's a great talk he gave as an example.
I had to listen to this message twice this morning on my run! I am so humbled by the providences of God in my life. You can either listen to it or watch the video at the link provided. What a precious thing it is to learn what it means to truly "trust in the Lord." The message is called, "A Word to High School Graduates." The title may not indicate it, but I promise you, no matter what stage of life you're in, if you're a disciple, I trust that this will not be time wasted! God bless!!!
Pastor Robert DeHaro did a fantastic job expositing Psalm 46 here! Just wonderful! Scripture gives believers such wonderful reminders of God’s covenant keeping faithfulness. This is a sermon I’d very much love for you to hear. It was delivered on 16 April 23 and is called, “God With Us.”
Christians always fight against abortion.
