Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
As believers, we realize Christmas is about the birth of Christ—not putting up decorations, going to parties, or giving (and receiving) gifts. But it’s easy to lose sight of why this holiday matters. The good news is that it’s not too late to refocus on Christ this Christmas. Here are a few practical ways to do that.
You might remember that I shared five song recommendations near Thanksgiving last year. Although there are lots of songs I could’ve included in that post, I opted to include just five. But I actually have five more song recommendations for you in this post, if you want to add them to your Thanksgiving playlist.
For Easter last year, I wrote a post for TTT with several recommendations for songs about Jesus’ death and resurrection. But I realized I've never shared a post with song recommendations for Thanksgiving on TTT. So—without further ado—here are five song recommendations that'll hopefully help you get in the mood for Thanksgiving.
Easter is almost here, so today’s post has several song recommendations for you to listen to this week. Of course, you can listen to these songs at any time of year; but I specifically included songs about Christ’s death and resurrection. I hope you enjoy these five song suggestions.
For this post, you're going to learn a lot from professor, author, and worship leader Dr. Zeb Balentine. I met him a few years ago and had the privilege of serving on a church worship team under his leadership. If you have any interest in worship, teaching, writing, or publishing, then keep reading!
Normally, my focus during church worship services isn't actually worship. But why do I struggle to focus? Why can't I ponder the words that I'm singing? Am I the only one who has trouble concentrating on God?
Kids just love fireworks. They love the noise and the color and the sparkle. It draws them in. They can stare at fireworks in amazement. If only we could be in such awe of our Savior.
Focusing on a hymn’s words doesn’t make God love you more. We worship to obey Him because He commands us to do so.
