I was tempted to title this “What we REALLY mean when we sing those praise songs.”

Converts to Orthodox Churches
Byhenry January 13, 2011
… are increasing. I don’t find this all that hard to understand. I personally have been enjoying more reading of the eastern church fathers, and have found much good material in the theology and liturgy of the Orthodox churches. Chron – Houston and Texas News reports on some churches in that area which are largely…

Tradition Criticism
Byhenry March 25, 2006
Tradition criticism is an overview method that encompasses all four of the critical tools I have discussed previously, textual, form, source, and redaction criticism. Tradition criticism differs in that it is an overview process of studying the entire history of the text, looking for ways in which the expressed tradition has changed, and the circumstances…

In the Divine Council and Conclave
Byhenry January 9, 2006
In my initial entry on testing prophets I listed five approaches to determining whether a word someone claims comes from God is actually from God. The third of those items was “Access to inside information, or is in Gods councils.” You may be wondering, and rightfully so, how I distinguish this from other approaches. Surely…

My main references other than the Bible text will be Galatians: A Participatory Study Guide pp. 43-47 and…

O’Reilly vs Dawkins and Mocking God
Byhenry October 13, 2011
The video below is a short exchange between Richard Dawkins and Bill O’Reilly. I’ve come to expect nonsense from O’Reilly, and I have a fairly low opinion of what Dawkins writes regarding theology, while considering his science writing second to none. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com What caught my attention here was the accusation…

Last Night on the Tuesday Night Energion Hangout: Stewardship
Byhenry July 29, 2015
Pastors and church leaders cringe at the “s” word, because so many members don’t want to hear about it. Sometimes they blame the members for not wanting to dedicate their wallets to the Lord. But is that precisely what we should be asking church members to do? I think the resources to carry out the…

I really hate singing some of these songs in church, because I know I’m not being sincere. Sometimes I just stand there and keep quiet because I don’t like being dishonest. I’m referring mainly to the ones written in the first person, where the singer claims that he is worshipping God with his whole heart, or anything along those lines. The people who write these insincere or overly emotional songs should be shot.
