20 Differences Between the Psalms and Modern Worship Songs by By Adrian Warnock, Jubilee Church London
There is a major difference between many modern worship songs and the Psalms. Too many modern songs speak only of the love of God, and he is seen only as a gentle and loving friend. It’s not that the worship songs are wrong. It’s just that they can almost completely miss a different side of God’s character. I want to explore that a little today before we focus in another post on an event that happened in 2 Samuel 6 that shocks the modern reader. In the Psalms, God is described as someone who: 1. judges (Psalm 1:6) 2. is full of wrath (Psalm 2:5, 12) 3. breaks the teeth of the wicked (Psalm 3:10) 4. is a God of honor and righteousness (Psalm 4:1-2) 5. hates all evildoers and destroys liars (Psalm 5:5) 6. disciplines (Psalm 6:1) 7. feels indignation every day (Psalm 7:11) 8. is majestic and full of glory (Psalm 8:1) 9. rebukes and blots out the wicked (Psalm 9:5) 10. stands far off and hides himself even when someone is in trouble (Psalm 10:1) 1...
From Barna Discipleship Study Jesus Christ remains a central figure and perennial person of interest in the American religious landscape. But who do people say that he is? The vast majority says he was a real, historical person (92%)—but beyond the fact of his human existence, there is less agreement. Fewer than half of Millennials believe Jesus was God (48%), compared to 55 percent of Gen-Xers, 58 percent of Boomers and nearly two-thirds of Elders (62%). Young adults among the youngest generation are also less likely than older Americans to say they have made a personal commitment to Christ. Just 46 percent say they have made such a commitment, compared with six in 10 Gen-Xers (59%), 65 percent of Boomers and seven out of 10 Elders (71%).
