When i look at a song i ask myself, is there words or a meaning in this song that can be misleading or don't glorify God. Believing in the doctrines of grace i also look for anything in the song that might exalt man, if there is, the song is not for me.

Back in the 90's in my community a sovereign grace preacher came to hold some meetings for a pastor and his church that were beginning to see the doctrines of grace. There were a lot of Arminians in the congregation and someone ask for the song Old Rugged Cross to be song, which they did sing...

To say that it is Gods will for something to take place and then it doesn't is saying God lost control or never was in control to start with. If God is not in control then something else has to be in control besides God. That something else whether it be man or circumstances is god at the time...

These songs, although they might have a word or two of truth in them are more like childrens gingles as, Jesus loves me this i know for the bible tells me so. As for me when i learned some good solid grace gospel songs i just cannot go back to singing gingles.

Actually this is a lost language for the most part. When i was growing up this word usage was very common. I put together in a book form about a year ago of all the words and their meanings of the hill talk so i wouldn't forget them. My grandfather used words like much abliged for thank you and...

Been a liven right cheer on this old mountain top since i wert a youngin a scudadlin up and down these hollers pert near all my rasin and i hant a gonna go no where real soon till ole Gabrel fetches that trumpet and starts a whoopin Dixie on it.

Yes, you guy's proved me wrong. In light of scripture we will fly away, but i still think there are better songs to sing.:smilewinkgrin:

Other than what i have already said, songs that i enjoy are songs that praise and glorify God for the salvation of sinners. Songs that magnify his sovereignty. I love songs that has words about the master. These songs about places and events takes a back seat to what we as christians need to...

I know that we can see in creation things that remind us of the new birth and the resurrection but in death or the resurrection i don't think we will grow wings like a bird and fly away. I don't think we will fly period. At the resurrection we shall either be changed in a moment and in a...

Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost, our bodies should be covered not uncovered to entice someone to lust after our bodies. When i say we should look different than the world, i am talking about how the world dresses today or should i say the way they go undressed. As far as the op is...

When i see Minnonite Ladies at Wal-Mart in their long dresses and bonnets it makes me wish for times gone by when women had respect for themselves. When i go to church i want it simple, i prefer the songs like Amazing Grace, Holy Holy Holy, and Jesus Lover Of My Soul. I don't go where where the...

I think that the churches i go to would be to dull for this crowd. I wonder if time last a hundred years from now what extremes the mega churches will do to pull a crowd in. I went to a singing service similar to this one time and as the electrical music was in high gear and the singers were...

Could it be, people that think they have been baptised in the Holy Spirit as a second working of grace actually just got saved instead ? I have often comparred my conversion with other peoples conversions and all are not alike. When the Lord saved me it was a Damascus road experience, others...

I agree that woman should not teach men but Anne Graham Lotz seems to have more of a nack for preaching than brother Franklin.:sleeping_2:

I heard when John Wayne was on his death bed he was begging his family to pray for him and was fearing death too.

In st. John 16:13-14 Howbeit when the he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you in all truth: for he shall not speak of himself. Verse 14 say's He shall glorify me. The Spirit worship has gotten out of hand in some denominations. I don't think the Holy Spirit draws attention to himself...

I believe this is the main reason some churches promote activities in church is to keep people from getting bored and quiting. If there is no fire in the pulpit there want be any fire in the pews. I never tire of the gospel of grace in the pulpit.

The bible in 1 Tim chapter 5 say's to honor widows that are widows indeed. One of the qualifications of a widow indeed is found in verse 10 where it say's, if she has washed the saint's feet. It didn't say if she washed her own feet or if she washed someone of the worlds feet, but the saint's...

As christian's why would we want to use our tongues in a unworthy manner, but if we do, we are not to let the sun go down upon our wrath. Some beliefs have us going through a half dozen judgements after we die. We can and do have our day's of judgement down here while we are alive, the...

I think this passage of scripture has more to do with the fact that no man can be justified at the day of judgement by keeping the law. If a person is going to be saved by keeping laws of speech then you might as well include thoughts too. Oh Lord, if thou shouldest mark iniquities, who would...
