Hymns

I like to sing. And I especially like to sing hymns. It's my favorite part of worship, after hearing the Word preached, that is. I like to hear others sing, too.

I oftentimes use hymns for my devotions, so I was particularly glad to read Christopher Wordsworth's (nephew of William) quote: *It is the first duty of a hymn to teach sound docrine and thence save souls." One of my favorite evening worship formats is to learn about hymns, their writers and their tunes.

I learned Wordsworth's hymn O Day of Rest and Gladness to Lowell Mason's tune, Mendelbras.

Prayer

Having finished a lengthy series of sermons on The Lord's Prayer, JCM exposited Luke 11:5-13 during yesterday's worship. This week I intend to study this parable in light of its ability to instruct my prayer life.

Last week I meditated on Paul's evangelistic sermon found in Acts 17. I was captivated by verses 30-31, which encapsulate the Gospel.
