Worship Music Stuck In A Rut? Three Potential Causes

No Lament

Psalms is full of lament — with good reason: suffering is real, and God wants us to voice it.

No Community

Are you singing only to God?  Or, as He commands, also to each other? (Colossians 3:16)

No Christ

New Testament song lyrics clearly proclaimed Christ’s work and attributes.

    That’s a timely reminder, as many churches have gone into emotionalism more than speaking Biblical truth when singing songs of worship.

    Very true Lance. Thanks for the comment!

    By the way, I also should have added that the artwork in this article comes from Sojourn visual artists. Their work is on display at sojournvisualarts.com.
