Download or read book A Cappella Music in the Public Worship of the Church written by Everett Ferguson and published by Victor Vadney. This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs a methodology that I have found helpful in dealing with other topics. This procedure is to assemble the New Testament texts on the topic and interpret them, then check this interpretation against usage in early Christian literature outside the New Testament, and finally to examine the doctrinal considerations to determine if the interpretation rests on solid biblical theology. Rather than gathering quotations from secondary literature, my approach is to read the source documents in the original and present the texts in their context. At the time of first edition of the book, mine was the fullest collection of historical statements on early church music readily available. Other studies since that time are largely supportive of the historical facts presented in my work, even if the authors do not consider the evidence normative for today. My conclusion is that the practice of unaccompanied congregational singing rests on good biblical, historical and doctrinal grounds.

Download or read book Music in Worship written by Thomas Craig Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Bible justify instrumental music for Christian worship?In 2006, advocates for the use of instrumental music in worship presented a three-part series titled "The Both/And Church," suggesting that people should read old texts in fresh, new ways. These advocates proposed that their understanding of biblical texts justifies instruments in church worship. Since that time, some churches have followed their lead.Ironically, this misreading of the relevant biblical texts is not new. The arguments made by these proponents are the arguments that have been made since the late 1800s among advocates of instrumental music in worship.Thomas Alexander answers these "new" arguments in a caring, biblical way in Music in Worship. He carefully evaluates each of the reasons given by "both/and church" proponents and shows that the facts about what God wants in worship have not changed - human attitudes have.

Download or read book Worship Matters Foreword by Paul Baloche written by Bob Kauflin and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-03-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is more essential than knowing how to worship the God who created us. This book focuses readers on the essentials of God-honoring worship, combining biblical foundations with practical application in a way that works in the real world. The author, a pastor and noted songwriter, skillfully instructs pastors, musicians, and church leaders so that they can root their congregational worship in unchanging scriptural principles, not divisive cultural trends. Bob Kauflin covers a variety of topics such as the devastating effects of worshiping the wrong things, how to base our worship on God's self-revelation rather than our assumptions, the fuel of worship, the community of worship, and the ways that eternity's worship should affect our earthly worship. Appropriate for Christians from varied backgrounds and for various denominations, this book will bring a vital perspective to what readers think they understand about praising God.
Download or read book Missing More Than Music written by Danny Corbitt and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-11-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're missing out ... on hearing one another’s songs, on worship in our daily lives, on passion in our praise, on the dance of David, on fellowship with Christians who disagree, on sharing testimony of God’s work in our assemblies, on agreeing together, and more. In the Churches of Christ, some begin to broaden their experience in praise, wishing they could answer the questions of those who feel left behind. "Missing More than Music" understands why we look at the same evidence and disagree. There is hope for worship and unity. We're missing more than music. Let's have all that we've been missing ... together.

Download or read book Streams of Living Water written by F. B Willard, Sr.; C Willard Milslagle and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Bible’s most beautiful metaphors is found in Psalm 1. It tells us that the Word of God is, for a Christian, what a stream of water is for a tree. He who delights daily in God's Word is like a tree planted by streams of water. He is alive and growing and will produce fruit for God's Kingdom. It is the purpose of these Bible Meditations to point the way to a greater appreciation of God's Word and the value of absorbing its life-giving truth. This book of meditations, initiated by missionary Bible teacher, Dr. F. Burleigh Willard, and completed in conjunction with his daughter, Celia Willard Milslagle, offers a variety of unique features. Burleigh’s in-depth Bible information, eye-witness descriptions of the geography of the Holy Land, portrayal of Christian practices of the past and present, experiences as a missionary, and other illustrations and stories are unforgettably illuminating. Celia’s sometimes-poetic style, probing questions, contemporary analogies, and inspiring real-life narratives reveal the relevance and beauty of Bible passages. The hope of both authors is to cause the truth revealed in the Bible to flow like streams of living water into the heart of each reader.
