Sing Together!

The following is an excerpt from the article "What We Get Wrong about Worship
Christian faith is personal, but it shouldn't just be private" by Matt Damico.

Last, singing together makes us more Christ-like. When we remember that worship isn’t just about us, we’ll be more prone to consider the interests of others, and we won’t fight for our way over things like song choice and musical style.
The Christian life isn’t a solo. We have a great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us (Hebrews 12:1), and we will one day join them in singing a new song before the throne. Until then, don’t rob yourself of the joy that comes from singing with one another. When the redeemed of the Lord say so, they should say so together.

Instead you keep working. You clean up the house again. You pack lunches for the next day. And you eventually crash into bed, knowing you’ll be doing the same thing tomorrow. For many, this is not an imagined scenario. When you parent alone – whether due to divorce, the loss of your spouse or having a spouse who works away from home for long periods of...

The Spirit and Christ

"We are not baptized in the Spirit, but into Christ by the Spirit.  We do not participate in the life of the Spirit, but in the life of Christ by the life-giving power of the Spirit.  All of the Spirit's activity has Christ as the reference point, and where the Spirit himself is given center-stage, we can be certain that it is not the Holy Spirit who is active in such settings (John 15:26).  We bear 'the fruit of the Spirit' only as we are in union with the Vine." Michael Horton, In the Face of God , Word Publishing, 1996, pg. 130.
