Rich words - Rich love

June 22nd, 2008 · 8 Comments

There are plenty of reasons why our church will always sing old hymns. It’s not just so that those among us whose hair has a ‘grey tinge’ can reminisce about the days of old - it’s for all of us.
For starters, it’d be such a shame to turn our backs on the musical and lyrical [...]

All I am is Yours

June 15th, 2008 · No Comments

“All I am is yours.” It’s a big thing to say. “Everything I am, everything I have, every single thing about me - it’s all yours.”
Sounds costly, doesn’t it? But - if you’re a Christian - it’s true. Everything about you belongs to Jesus: “You are not your own; you were bought at a price. [...]

Holding Nothing Back… from what?

June 9th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Every now and again, we change the words to a song before singing it as a church family. “Holding Nothing Back”, by Tim Hughes, is one of them.
Sometimes it’s downright heresy that needs to be cut out of a song. Sometimes it’s changing tenses - changing “I” to “we”, or “me” to “us” - to [...]

Yesterday, Today and Forever - Celebrating the Same-ness of God

May 11th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s tempting to think that someone who never changes is plain old boring. Doesn’t the idea of someone who’s always the same seem like a bit of a yawn?
But that’s because God and us - we’re not the same. Though we’re made in God’s image, we’re broken images - because of our sin. Until we’re [...]

Daylight Breaks Through

April 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Found an absolute gem of an album, which I highly commend: “Daylight Breaks Through - Ben Cantelon”. I’d never heard of the guy a couple of months ago, but he’s apparently starting to take the UK Christian music scene by storm.
And he should be! His lyrics are biblically faithful, beautifully poetic, and reminiscent of hymns [...]

Album Review: Leeland - Sound of Melodies

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

It’s unfortunately rare to come across a Christian CD that not only sounds good, but has fantastic words as well. So much of the time it’s either one or the other – good words, ordinary music; bad words, excellent music. But Leeland’s album “Sound of Melodies” is one of those exceptions where you’ll find [...]

Meditating on the Richness of Christ

March 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The ‘classic’ Bible verse when it comes to Music Ministry is
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.”
Colossians 3:16
It’s a great, jam-packed verse we’ve all heard before. But [...]
