What makes the Church's worship beautiful: Her singing

Warhorn Blog Posts ·

2023/10/24

Excerpt: In certain theological circles, we place great emphasis on the importance of “artistic excellence” for God. But artistic excellence in our worship without faithful devotion to God means very little. There are many trained singers who get paid to stand in gorgeous cathedrals and sing beautiful songs written about the one true God. But when such a performance is just that—a mere performance—God is not impressed. The Lord takes much more delight in the faith-filled shouts of the

Excerpt: Driving out to the address, I noted the stark white farmhouse surrounded by stark white outbuildings. What struck me was the yard displayed no concessions to any human weakness for beauty. Unlike most farmhouses of the area, this one was not prettied up with shrubs or flowers. Instead, it sat alone in all its stateliness.Parking outside the back door, I walked across the grass and knocked on the screen door. Then I knocked again, even louder.After some time, I heard a little

Excerpt: It’s always volatile to discuss sinful motives in condemning sinful actions, but how could a pastor place himself in any greater danger of causing resentment and conflict than speaking of the reasons a mother pays another woman to nurse her child? The pastor of any modern reformed congregation will do well to avoid even the slightest statement concerning mothers’ duties to their infants and young children. And even more so, their duties to nurse and care for their children at home

Who trembles at My word (2)

2023/08/22

Excerpt:This is what I mean by pastors apologizing for God’s Word and truth. To proclaim “God hath said” followed by “I wish God hadn’t said” undercuts God’s authority and Words.Yet this is the habit of even the most conservative pastors today. They do it unconsciously, I think, but they do it relentlessly. Usually it is not as direct as what my friend said above. More typically the pastor will pepper the times he says God’s “no” in his sermon with hedge phrases like, “that’s what it says”

Who trembles at My word (1)

2023/08/21

Excerpt:In the gatherings of our Lord’s flock, God’s truth must always possess the seat of honor. Without it the church dies. But the church has often betrayed the preeminence in worship of the proclamation of God’s truth, and has often trimmed it. Concerning the preeminence of the preaching of God’s Word in the gathering of the church corporately for worship, this has been done most frequently by displacing the preaching of Scripture, subordinating it to the sacrament of the Lord’s

Excerpt:Pastor Keller claims “nothing is more subversive and prophetic” than proclaiming Jesus as “the truth.” How subversive and prophetic would it be to proclaim God’s hatred for the bloodshed of innocents? Keep in mind Manhattan leads the nation in this slaughter of our Lord’s little ones:41% of all New York City pregnancies end in abortion….

2023/08/18

Excerpt:How do we evaluate the sincerity of our prayers? Is sincerity just a feeling we have while we pray? And does God simply assess that feeling by gazing into our hearts and judging our prayers accordingly? What criteria does He use for gauging whether or not our hearts are in our prayers?Scripture has a prominent answer to this question, and it’s not just that God looks into our hearts and knows what’s there. One of the most consistent ways the Lord judges the sincerity of our prayers

Excerpt:Here’s an excerpt from the fifth volume of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s magnum opus, a lengthy history of the Russian Revolution titled The Red Wheel.

Excerpt:Understand why I’ve always had a love for men who are hated for righteousness’ sake—particularly pastors. Dear reader, do you know how many of them are punished for their faithful pastoral care and preaching each and every week? Do you know and grieve how many of them are fired every month by evil men who hate God and His Word. Do you know how many of their wives are intensely frustrated and hurt; how many of their godly wives have had to fight off bitterness at their husband’s

Excerpt:Ask any pastor who has loved a flock or two how many of his ewes, lambs, and rams have shocked him as the years passed, both positively and negatively, and he’ll tell you it’s one of the most sobering things about pastoral ministry. You can think one person is hopeless, and then God’s Holy Spirit acts and it is astounding! You can think one person is a spiritual giant, and then he withers and fades, after a while becoming Chesterton’s half-Christian who has gone mad and become the

Excerpt:We reject the gayness, the effeminacy, of Moore’s Petit and Keller’s ballet dancers, but the immodest effeminacy is not the worst of it.
