Here is a quote from Jonathan Edwards:

“So that the first effect of the power of God in the heart in regeneration is to give the heart a Divine taste or sense; to cause it to have a relish of the loveliness and sweetness of the supreme excellency of the Divine nature.”

This “Divine taste” that causes us to relish God more and more causes us to want to know more about His “Divine nature.” A love of theology (in the broadest sense) seems to be a natural consequence of regeneration. If this is correct, then what does it say about someone who does not experience these affections?

Sincerely,

I greatly appreciate the effort you put into this blog. May God be glorified by the work you do. I am thankful as I read your posts each day.

I believe another very important reason for musicians to study theology is so that the text/lyrics of a particular worship song can be evaluated and tested against Scripture. Throughout the history of the Christian church, some hymns, choruses and praise songs have been written by well intentioned individuals that simply are not Scripturally accurate. A careful study of theology by musicians and lyricists is greatly important to produce a body of work that accurately proclaims truth.

My family and I are so blessed to be a part of CLC and under your care and leadership in worship. I know that what we hear and sing is true.

Thanks again for your blog and for your ministry to so many.
