The Need for Discriminating PreachingAnd the Danger of Its AbsenceI was struck again today by the simple, devastating indictment that 2 Kings 17:33 makes against generic religion
So they feared the LORD but also served their own gods.
This brief summary describes the mixed multitude of Assyrians who were settled in the fallen nation of Israel. Because of God's judgment on them and their pagan worship, the king of Assyria sent a priest from Israel to "teach them the law of the god of the land" (v. 27). So that priest settled in Bethel and "taught them how they should fear the LORD" (v. 28).
The indictment of verse 33 sheds light on the kind of teaching that the priest did. He certainly introduced them to the ways of the LORD and no doubt taught them the forms, patterns and language of worship. But the result was that they settled into a comfortable lifestyle of "fearing the LORD" while also serving "their own gods." Keep Reading

What Then Shall We Sing?
Part 2: Thoughts on Music and Worship
By Ken Puls
 How do you evaluate music? What questions should you ask of the songs you choose to hear and sing?
This is the second part of a two-part study on music. Part 1 was in our February 2012 eNews.
Part 2: Thoughts on Music and Worship addresses the following questions:
6. What is the relationship between music and worship?
7. Can all music be used equally well in worship?
8. What does music add to our worship?
9. What should worship music sound like?
10. Should all Christians sing the same music in worship?
Read Part 2
1. What is music?
2. What does music communicate?
3. How does music communicate?
4. Can music be evil or worldly?
5. What music can we enjoy as Christians?
Read Part 1 and A Grid for Evaluating Music
