The aim of worship is to exalt the glory of God in the eyes of his people that they might see, sing, seek, and submit to him. First, the foundation of all true worship is the sight of the glory of God in the face Christ. Therefore, the calling of all involved in worship ministries is to exalt the glory of God in Christ as high as they possibly can that his people might enter into communion with him. This implies, of course, that they must be seeing, singing, seeking, and submitting to him in their personal lives, for only those who truly worship can evoke true worship in the lives of others. Second, the sight of the glory of God in the face of Christ naturally evokes expression to God. The gift of singing was given that we might give tangible release to the deepest feelings of our hearts, and when a heart beholds the glory of God in some measure it cannot help but sing to him. Therefore, one of the reasons we are called to exalt God in the sight of his people is to call forth heart-fel...

The Heartbeat of why Christians Stand against Aborting Heartbeats Born again Christians care about the sanctity of human life (i.e. the sacredness of human life and the subsequent duty to treat life as precious). More importantly Christians care about why human life is sacred because the why of it determines the how of it. In other words, the reasons for why Christians believe life is sacred shapes how they think about life and death. In this case, we are talking about how believer’s convictions are shaped regarding the highly controversial and highly political debate on abortion.  This past Tuesday the House of Representatives voted in favor of adopting a law that would criminalize abortion/termination of pregnancy beyond what is determined the “point of viability.” Going back to 1973 we have to consider that the Roe v. Wade decision included, based on medical capabilities, a determined point at which a fetus was able to survive outside of the womb. At the time this po...

My name is Kevin Feder. I live on planet earth, the same one on which acts of terror and mass shootings happen on. My situation is made worse when I consider the love of my life, Karen, lives there too. She is the woman I fell in love with 16 years ago and stands as the most precious and lovely person I have ever known (my own mother is a close second). Do you know who else lives there? My three kids, Lydia, Elise, and Ben. Needless to say, I love them dearly. As I type that, it seems so trite. Is that all I can say about them? In short, yes. How can you put the love of a parent into words within a blog? You can’t, so you will have to imagine the boat-load of emotion that could never be expressed in the statement “I love them dearly.” On top of that I have parents, I have siblings, cousins, aunts, nephews, nieces, uncles, grandparents. In addition, I have friends, brothers and sisters in Christ that are precious to me. Beyond that, I have a common love for humanity. When I hear about ...
