Like a delightful respite, we enjoyed a nice conversation about how Pastor MacArthur's book affected Christian music for our good, this recent past quarter of a century. It is true that we have been blessed by the direction and assistance of god-blessed study and writing. Can it be that there was a great and silent awakening that we have enjoyed? Looking at the development of Christian music, you and I and the rest of your siblings rejoiced that "excuse me!"{by Nicholas} was not the only example of Christian exuberance of those long days ago.
Sometimes we look at the days of the puritans and miss the things that are just past us. This time, the joy of spiritual fruit of the glut of Christian instructors and music were our reason to rejoice. Sadly our Christian profession has not outshined our verbosity in music and instruction. What if we are measured by the weight of our words compared to the weight of our personal profession? What if we are compelled to really be what we talk about and listen to? " Let us love and sing and wonder..."Let us be what we hear and write and talk so much about. We are technoinstructed, super abundant tools for the spiritual warfare? Still, we are all too anemic in our victory. HELP, LORD!
