Serving God with His people at Faith OPC has been a great joy and blessing. When I grow up, I want to umpire Little League Baseball. I will revel on that day when I can say to a 10-year-old boy after four pitched balls, "Take a walk in the sunshine." My wife of 30+ years, Peggy, consistently demonstrates the love of Christ and remains my very best friend. Our six children, our four lovely, sweetie-pie daughters-in-law, and our four grandchildren serve as resident theologians.

Hard to Leave, Part 4

5. But perhaps with what you’ve said, aren’t you downplaying the role of experience?

Experience always has a role in worship. The point here is that it must be informed by Scripture. Words and music provide nurture, confrontation, comfort, training and discipleship (Colossians 3:16-17). That training and discipleship should be leading me to scriptural expressions of emotions and experience.
