THE PLEA TO RETURN TO THE BIBLE
The plea to return to the Bible - to speak where the Bible speaks and to be silent where the Bible is silent - is worthy, legitimate, and meritorious goal.
The effort to restore the New Testament church, to practice those things which our Lord authorized, and to reject those things that are without scriptural support, is Christ-honoring and Bible-respecting.
Those are the principles that our brethren proclaimed from the earliest days of the restoration plea. These are the precepts that motivated sincere individuals to abandon their denominational names and creeds and to become New Testament Christians. We must continually reemphasize these same truths to every succeeding generation.
No one expressed this truth better than F. G. Allen, when he said, “While we remain true to the principles on which we start out, there is no earthly power that can impede our progress. But the day we leave these walls and go out to take counsel of the world, will mark the day of our decline. We have nothing to fear from without. Our only danger lies in the direction of indifference and compromise. While we are true to God in the maintenance of these principles, the divine blessing will be upon our work. But should they ever be surrendered, ruin will as certainly follow as that the Bible is true.”

WHY WE SING IN CHURCH
“…speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:19).
Darryl Tippens has written a booklet called, That’s Why We Sing. At the beginning of the booklet, he writes: “When I think of my most memorable moments in church, the times I have felt closest to God, almost always they involve hymns." He goes on to say that “all kinds of (spiritual songs) have affected me deeply, and permanently.” And he adds: “I have come to see that I am not exceptional in this respect. In fact, the number of people who have been radically changed by sacred song is quite large.”
I, personally, was drawn to the Lord's Church because of the singing of that fine congregation of people. Over the years, I have worshiped at churches throughout the U.S., Canada and the UK. And often, what I recall the most about those worship services is the singing. In some, the heartfelt response to God’s grace was evident. It permeated every syllable of each word as it was sung to the Lord. So as I reflect on the singing of God’s church, I note:
Singing connects us to God. I believe that there is a deep longing in every soul to be connected to God. Blaise Pascal described it as a "God-shaped vacuum”—A God-shaped hole in every soul that only God can fill. We find this longing throughout the Bible. For instance, David wrote: “My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God” (Psalms 84:2). One of the things Christians have to offer people (as they search for God) is hymn singing. Our hymns inspire devotion, repentance, sorrow, joy, and reverence.
Singing has the power to change us. Augustine is considered by many to be the greatest theologian of the fourth century A.D. In one of his writings, he tells how singing played a major role in his decision to become a Christian. Addressing God in his Confessions, the great theologian writes: “How I wept during your hymns and songs! I was deeply moved by the music of the sweet chants of your Church. The sounds flowed into my ears and the truth was distilled into my heart. This caused the feelings of devotion to overflow. Tears ran, and it was good for me to have that experience.”
So as you go to worship this Sunday, remember to offer the fruit of your lips as a sweet sacrifice to God (Hebrews 13:15).
