Probably not so different to today's synagogue cantors, minus the modern instruments and amplifiers. Listen to them here. http://faithaliveresources.org/Products/160514/honest-to-god.aspx 2011-06-08T15:23:00-05:00 In this series of meditations on the Psalms, James C. Schaap invites you to take off on a riff the way a blues saxophonist might. Even if you don't have a musical bone in your body, he wants you to pick up a pen or a pencil and respond to the melody these meditations bring to mind. Let loose. Let yourself go. Let yourself dream. http://ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3034 2010-11-09T21:24:33-05:00 The Psalms show you how to relate to God as you pray your doubt, fears and anger. They show you how to respond to God in praise. Here you find the best place to explore who you are and what God means to you. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205:19-20&version=NIV 2009-10-06T11:12:17-05:00 Christian worship and fellowship needn't be stuffy and silent. This passage encourages us to make use of God-honoring music and psalms to praise God and encourage one another. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/going-where-you-thought-you-could-not-2816 2009-09-17T16:53:55-05:00 Maybe there's a burden you're going to have to carry or a challenge or assignment that you have in front of you or some possibilities that are either frightening or exciting, or possibly both. Well, your Lord, who may very well be the One leading you into something you're not sure you can handle, wanted you to be encouraged today with this word from the Word of God. Psalms 18:31 - "For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?" http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-better-beyond-the-bitter-2813 2009-09-17T16:33:43-05:00 This night, even this long night, will not last forever. And on the other side a time of joy that is hard for you to imagine right now but which God guarantees. In fact, the beautiful time may actually be produced by the bitter time, as the joy of a new baby is produced by a painful delivery process. But you do have to get through this bitter taste, without abandoning your Lord or His plans. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/the-child-you-wanted-the-child-you-got-8226 2009-09-11T10:35:09-05:00 It wasn’t easy for Brian to talk about. He confided struggling with his sexual identity, and as we talked, the conversation became less about that and more about the relationship between a father and son. All of Brian’s brothers are jocks–like his Dad. Brian doesn’t fit the mold. He’s more into music and drama and art. No less male, just different. Dad has struggled to know how to love a son who’s so different from him and his other sons. And Brian thinks that what he’s ultimately looking for is a father’s love. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/bumpy-landings-5841 2009-09-10T13:22:16-05:00 Things aren't out of control just because you're experiencing some bumpy landings. God is actually using those bumpy landings to get your attention and then to give you some important messages from Him. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-thrill-of-feeding-yourself-5824 2009-09-10T12:23:00-05:00 It's really exciting to experience God taking something that's in His heart and planting it in your heart with no one in between. Don't abandon those great opportunities to hear from Him through others, like your pastor, for example. It's great to have a special meal, prepared by someone who really knows how to cook spiritually. But there's no substitute for you opening your Lord's love letter each new day and finding your own personal message from Him.
