April 24, 2012The Gospel Alphabet: W is for Worship
March 11, 2012A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V In his book, Grounded in the Gospel: Building Believers the Old-Fashioned Way, J.I.

God & Sinner Reconcile | Stephen Miller
January 16, 2012I have never considered myself an expert on all things musical. I mention what I believe to be good music because of what it does for my soul. With the recovery of the gospel in all its beauty, this movement of God needs gifted men and women to lead us in singing the gospel. Again [...]

Prone to Wander, Lord I Feel It
September 14, 2009O to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. These words were [...]
Thoughts on Gospel-Centered Worship
September 10, 2009Let me begin by saying I am not a “worship leader” in that I do not lead in singing, and the limits of my musical talent is that of beating a drum.

I Have A Shelter
May 6, 2008When I think about the difficult and trying times of my life, I reflect on certain songs that ministered to me in the lowest of valleys and strongest of storms.

Worship is the whole point of everything.
April 13, 2008Been reading a quite bit on worship lately (which I will explain later), but I found this quote particularly poignant: “Redemption is the means; worship is the goal. In one sense, worship is the whole point of everything. It is the purpose of history, the goal of the whole Christian story. Worship is not one [...]

From Heaven Above to Earth I Come
December 24, 2007“From heaven above to earth I come To bear good news to every home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing: “To you this night is born a child Of Mary, chosen virgin mild; This little child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all the earth. [...]
Eternal Glory of the Sky
December 23, 2007Eternal Glory of the sky, Blest Hope of frail humanity, The Father’s sole begotten One, Yet born a spotless virgin’s Son! Uplift us with Thine arm of might, And let our hearts rise pure and bright, And, ardent in God’s praises, pay The thanks we owe him every day. The day-star’s rays are glittering clear, [...]
