Another Question for my EP Brethren

[Nse007]

So I'm under the conviction that the Psalms are to be used to worship God in the public meetings. But I wonder if there is any place for hymns for private listening...like on my Ipod? I haven't listed to a hymn in ages and I just listened to some today (Fernando Ortega). Good idea, or is this a slippery slope? Speak the truth in love brethren.

Hymns are not evil, they are just not commanded. In the liberty of your daily living, listen away.

See this recent thread: When can an Exclusive Psalmist Sing Uninspired Songs in Good Conscience?

 

[Coram Deo]

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!

Worship is suppose to be for ALL of LIFE... That means ALL uninspired Song is BANNED at ALL TIMES.......





Just Kidding.....

The regulative principle of worship covers the worship of God. If you enjoy listening to 'hymns' then that is fine (Bach and Handel are also good), but they are forbidden in worship.
