The Russian proverb “doveryai no proveryai” is translated “trust but verify” in English. This is how we should approach our trusted preachers, teachers, and even Christian music. However, when you can verify that the lyrics you are singing through your favorite songs come from Scripture, you can now use the song to help you meditate on truths that God has gifted us. This week we will use Darlene Zschech’s version of “In Jesus’ Name” to inspire us to discover Scriptural proof of the lyrics, making this song a powerful tool to help us hide God’s Word in our hearts.
With a special resource I’ve created and little extra effort, you will see tremendous results this week.
On this episode I discuss:
- The need for a few good “devil trampling” songs in our playlists
- The B.I.T.E.s – Bible Interaction Tool Exercises – for the week include:
- Write out Scripture
