7 Christian Female Singers You Might Not Know [But You Should]
There’s some good Christian music out there today. Not all of it is good, but a lot of it is good. In recent years, there have also risen some very strong female vocalists, songwriters, and performers. I recently realized that many of the ladies we listen to in our home are not common names. Some of that might be due
When We All Get to Heaven
I love studying the stories behind hymns. The story behind “When We All Get to Heaven” gave even more depth to the text. Eliza Hewitt was born on June 28, 1851 in Philadelphia. Her exemplary grades gave her the opportunity to teach school. After a few years, her life was changed by a normal day on the playground with her
Prone to Wander
For years, people have loved the hymn, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” While many reasons exist for this song persevering through the years, one of the main reasons I believe is the lyrical and musical combination of such an honest line: Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love. I think we all
The Law Commands and Makes Us Know
I ran across the wonderful hymn the other day by Isaac Watts written in 1709. I love the way that Watts shows the difference and dynamic between the law and the gospel. Here is the text from the Lutheran 1941 Hymnal: 1. The Law commands and makes us know What duties to our God we owe; But ’tis the Gospel
Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery

I Want to Be Obed-Edom
As King David prepares to bring the Ark of the Covenant back into Jerusalem, something shocking occurs. The Israelites were transporting the ark on a cart driven by oxen because that’s how they saw the Philistines do it. The problem was God commanded them to have the priests carry it on poles. When the ox stumbled, the Ark gets tipsy,
Don’t Become a Stagnate Worship Leader
We tend to tolerate mediocre talent in worship because it’s “only church.” Since it is an offering to God and church people are supposed to be categorically nice people, we tend to overlook a lack of proficiency. We tend to say that God sees the heart. I could not agree with you more, but we misunderstand what even the word
Worship Song on the 5 Solas
Sunday will be my last day leading worship at North Side. As the church as a whole has been aware of this change for two weeks, I have been trying to do what I could do to help during the transition for a while now. Part of the plan was writing a new worship song and recording a 6-song EP.
