Christmas Hymn History
Why we sing:
Instructed to in Scripture
Ephesians 5
Colossians 3
James 5
Lifts our spirits
Martin Luther said “Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful present God has given us.”
Singing is Warfare
Worship helps us in our fight against sin, false teachings, and cultural relativism and immorality.
Singing hymns songs and spiritual songs with a good theology, truths about our living God, this builds up our theology.
Singing worship helps us fight against our own sin in many ways. It says our hearts and minds on things above and not on earthly things. It reminds us of what the truth is so we can evaluate the things that are distracting us from God.
