Jars of Clay

The lastest JOC album is pretty amazing. It's actually an album that pays tribute to the Hymns and it's aptly named "Redeption Songs". This reminds me about an article I read about Christian music. It said that today's church music lack any deep doctrinal meaning. It wasn't trying to knock down mordern worship songs, but it came to a point where very little songs contains doctrinal elements. Worse still, some have wrong doctrine! Most of them are filled with emotional responses of onself to God. Remember, such things are no invalid. They are! I love those emotionally charged worship songs and every time I get into it, there is always a weeping pool within me. Yet, my heart rejoices when I hear a song that contains doctrinal truths of the God. It kind of reflect the bible's interpretation of God on His terms!

So let's sing some hymns and let's rejoice in God!

Ephesians 5:19
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord...
