I have always been a strong proponent of making sure that the texts of our worship songs are theologically sound. One of the driving principles of my personal philosophy for the use of music in worship is what I call the “Musician’s 3:16” Col. 3:16:

We have had some great comments about the first post “Less is More” on both this site and a sister site worshipchat.com. Some of them stole my thunder on what I wanted to share in part 2 of this post. In the first post, I wanted to share the principle of less is more, . . . → Read More: “Less is More” in Practice

When I was in second or third grade, I flunked my first math assignment ever. It was an assignment on placing “greater than” or “less than” signs in equations. I was really good at math, but I missed every single problem. I was devastated. The good news was that it was easily fixed. . . . → Read More: Less = More

Bob Kauflin from Sovereign Grace Music was recently on our campus and spoke to our students. My colleague, Patrick Anderson, interviewed him. I have always been a fan of Bob, and enjoy his blog, Worship Matters. The first few minutes of what he shared with our students were particularly challenging to both me and . . . → Read More: Interview with Bob Kauflin

We had Lincoln Brewster on campus last semester and during our lunch conversation, we got off on worship styles. I was asking him about trends he was seeing on the West Coast, and we talked about how worship music is impacted by music of our culture. We also discussed how we typically are stylistically . . . → Read More: Secular artists, current styles and worship music

So, last week I wrote about Lenny LeBlanc’s quote that he doesn’t get ready to worship, he stays ready to worship. His point is well taken. Hebrews 13:15 reminds us that “Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks . . . → Read More: Staying ready for worship – Part 2

At our recent Worship 4:24 Conference, Lenny LeBlanc was asked “What do you do to get ready for worship?” He paused for a second, and then gave a good (and thought provoking) answer, “I don’t get ready for worship, I stay ready for worship.”
I like that concept a lot. We should be . . . → Read More: Staying ready for worship
