In Praise of Psalmody
“Could we sing some more psalms?”
In eighteen years of vocational church ministry, no one has ever asked me this question. Most of those years have been in some form of music ministry, with a 4-year stint as solo pastor for a small, town-and-country church. I have heard a lot of questions in those [...]
