Worship is something I want to get right. What is the “Heart of Worship” that Matt Redman sings about — and is it right? God gets dibs on defining the type of worship that delights Him, don’t you agree? Let’s explore...
Occasionally, I enjoy a few (or a bag) of Oreos. While they are enjoyable, they are not nourishing. The hymns of old are full of rich, nourishing doctrines that help form a strong foundation for the believer. This week, I use Rend Collective’s...
