Metaphysical Monday: Corporate Worship
Last week, we looked at music on the mission field. Now let’s look at the use of music in worship services everywhere.
Music is used in every church service everywhere on earth. I actually can’t recall a single church service I’ve been to (which numbers in the thousands) where songs weren’t utilized and meant to be sung together. Isn’t that amazing? In fact, music and the singing of songs seems like a fundamental necessity to corporate worship. Why can’t churches worship our Father another way? Why haven’t churches formed another way of communicating praise to their Creator?… Continued →

Metaphysical Monday: Missionary Music
I’ve felt the call to be a missionary since I was a little kid. Some might say that as a member of Becoming The Archetype, I am a type of missionary. Those people wouldn’t necessarily be wrong, but that’s not the sort of missionary I’ve been called to ultimately be. A great blessing has been that God has also called my wife and brother to the mission field, so we’ve begun discussing possibilities for all going together. Right now I’m in sort of a waiting game as my brother just started getting his Master’s of Divinity and my wife is getting her medical degree. … Continued →

Metaphysical Monday: A Case of the Mondays?
“Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays”
If you haven’t heard that phrase before, stop reading this and go watch Office Space. If you have heard it, I hope your day so far isn’t nearly as dreadful as any of the characters’ in the movie. So here’s your Metaphysical Monday to cheer you up!
As we discussed and seemed to all agree last week, music has a profound spiritual significance. That significance can be difficult to explain, but it’s not difficult to experience. Why does music weigh so heavily on our souls? … Continued →
