Don't faint!!! I'm actually blogging for the first time!! (Marissa)

I enjoyed reading the four reasons God wants to use music for us to worship him at the bottom of pg98, esp under pt one, that music excites our affections--I've found this to be true in my own life. When I am dry spiritually, if I begin singing to the Lord, He helps soften my heart and draw me closer in feeling and in truth--because often I am singing pure scripture...

I appreciated the contrast the author gave between emotionalism and emotions on the top of pg 99. A little further in the next paragraph, I love this quote, "Vibrant singing enables us to combine truth about God seamlessly with passion for God".

I love the Zeph. verse about how God sings over us. That's so cool to know.

I'm glad on p 99 that the author pointed out how Moses taught thru music/song. I've often wished the church did more of this--cuz it's sooo true that songs/music is a great memory tool!

Enjoyed the pt on p 100 about setting aside our preferences/style as a way of fulfilling Philippians 2:4 and that the goal is the gospel!!

That's all the time I have to make comments! Have a great week!!
