What the Psalter Should Teach Us about the Songs We Sing

By Filings on Tue, 12/03/19
Church & Ministry
Psalms
Worship Music

“…if the Psalter is indeed a hymnal for God’s people, then shouldn’t we also make sure that our own singing covers both the full breadth of Christian doctrine and the full range of human emotion? Our singing should consist of more than pithy praise choruses. We need to sing songs that boldly proclaim all the truths contained in God’s Word.” - 9 Marks

Agreed 100% that if we really want our praise to, well, praise God well, we ought to be looking to the Psalms as a model—not necessarily staying with that (some obvious doctrines of Christ will be hard to demonstrate from them), but definitely starting there.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
