Download or read book Hymns Psalms Worship written by Irving Risch and published by Irving Risch. This book was released on with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I thought about writing this book I had no idea where I was going to start. When you are overwhelmed by so much talent and love for the Lord, where do you start? My thoughts are of all the Hymn writers past present and future that love the Lord, and it shows in the writing of their hymns we have available to us today. I have always looked at music and in this case hymns, they are speaking to our souls. (True Soul Music.) Hymns have always been a big part of worship, they get our minds tuned and thoughts focused on the Lord and his great wonders. I find that they sometimes put praise on my lips and thanksgivings in my heart. I hope they do the same for you. Music moves the emotions. Some will make you cry while others will put joy in your heart. I took a ride this morning on my Trike, (my three wheel bike) and just enjoyed the lovely spring morning with all its newness. New leaves on the trees Tulips in full bloom. The air even smelled fresh, and I have the beauty of living alongside the Mississippi River in a small town in Southeast Minnesota. With this beauty, it put a song in my heart and makes me want to praise the Lord for his creation. You see, Worship can be done anywhere at any time, you don’t have to be in buildings with other Christians, but there is also a time for that as well. It is called corporate Worship where not just one voice goes up to the throne of grace, but many join as one. It was this beautiful ride that gave me the inspiration to write this book, and if you have decided to read it, my hope is that you enjoy it as much as I will in writing it. Since becoming a Christian about 38 years ago, I just love reading and writing about the Lord. The joy of every Christian should be getting to know Him in a more intimate way, and that is my hope of doing in this book. Think of it a devotional to help you do exactly that. There might be some instructions along the way as well. A good way to start this writing would be to quote the famous Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther. “ “I would allow no man to preach or teach God’s people without a proper knowledge of the use and power of sacred song.”

Download or read book Daily Telegraph Book of Hymns written by Ian Bradley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are the full original texts of 150 of the best loved hymns in the English language. Each is accompanied by a fascinating commentary, giving biographical details of the author (such as the Calvinist creator of Rock of Ages who once calculated that the average human sins 2,522,880,000 times); notes on the circumstances in which the hymn was written; and variant versions. Each hymn is prefaced by an urbanely written and agreeably subjective commentary with a wealth of anecdotes and a few ribald parodies. This charming book should also be required reading for all those responsible for choosing hymns in church. Ian Bradley writes with wit, elegance and charm and is quite exceptionally knowledgeable about his subject.

Download or read book What Wondrous Love Is This written by Joni Eareckson Tada and published by Crossway Books. This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Frost said, “Home is where, when you go there, they have to take you in.” It’s the place where you truly belong. From time to time I meet people who aren’t really from anywhere. They’ve lived in so many places that no one place is home to them. If you have many homes, you don’t really have a home at all. And we’ve all had the experience of going back home, wherever that might be, and finding out that it doesn’t feel the way we remember it. Even when you go home, it doesn’t always feel like home. Part of the problem is that even at its best, life on this earth can’t satisfy our deepest longings. That’s what a verse in the Bible (Hebrews 13:14) means when it says, “For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.” The New Living Translation renders the first phrase: “This world is not our home.” This world is not and cannot be our true home. Victor Hugo said we spend the first 40 years leaving home and the next 40 years going home. Friendships come and go; people move into our lives for a while, and then they drift away. We move from house to house, job to job, church to church, sometimes even from spouse to spouse, always looking, searching, hoping for a place where we will finally feel at home. A place where we can relax and be ourselves. Where we don’t have to pretend or try hard to impress others. Where we can say, “Ah, this is where I belong.” But such a place is beyond this world. And we will never really be at home here because we are constantly saying good-bye to the people we love the most. They leave us, or we leave them. Our children grow up, they leave home, they come back for a visit, and all too soon they leave again. If you are looking for a place where you won’t have to say good-bye, you won’t find it in this world. I think God set it up this way on purpose so that no matter where we’re from, we’ll never feel at home anywhere on earth. The good-byes of this life are meant to make us homesick for heaven, where all who know Jesus personally will live forever. Heaven is a real place, filled with real people. And contrary to popular opinion, it’s not just living for hundreds of thousands of years and never dying. Far from it. The Bible says that when we get to heaven, we will be “at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8). What does that mean? Jesus said to the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). The essence of heaven is the presence of Jesus. Heaven is where He is, and when we are in heaven, we will be with Him forever. The night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed, “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God and knowing Him, Jesus Christ. John 1:12 promises, “To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” If you know Jesus, you have everlasting life here and now. It begins the moment you believe in Jesus as your Savior, and it continues right on through your death, and it will carry you all the way home to heaven. So remember, you won’t find a true home in this world. The only true home will be heaven, and you can’t get there without Jesus. And even if you know Him as your Savior, you’re not home yet. So the challenge for all of us is to come to Jesus, receive Him as Savior, then in every word and in every action build our life on Him. If you want to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you might want to offer Him a prayer like this: Jesus, I know that You died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. You rose from the dead to prove that You have conquered sin and death so all who believe in You can live forever with You in heaven. I now trust Jesus and believe that He has paid the penalty for my sin and makes me a member of God’s family forever. I turn away from my sins and now receive You as my Savior and Lord. Help me to serve You faithfully and look forward to being with You in heaven for all eternity. Thank You, Jesus, for loving me and saving me. Amen.
