It is important as sacred music vocalists that we seek to do all we can to honor the Lord in our music. These three simple areas are simply the “tip of the proverbial iceberg.” Each of these areas can be further developed and magnified, and much more could be added to the list. However, as a guideline for singing, they are necessary, and they can provide a framework for any sacred music vocalist. Read more…

The things that worry you are the things that are the most important to you. Our anxieties reveal our priorities. We never worry about things that are important to us. Make a list of your worries and ask yourself.” Are the things I worry about priorities to God?” For example, most of us worry about what we will wear from our priority to be accepted by others.

Chris Hartwick Our culture is teaching us to believe in ourselves; we create our own destinies, we are going to get better, we don’t need God because we are gods in our own way. Really? If I had listened to the culture that told me ” you won’t make it; you’re handicapped: you can’t do it; you’ll get hurt,” I wouldn’t be where I am today. I thank the Lord for giving me a can do spirit and a caring, Godly family that taught me to trust not in myself, peers, or those around me but my Creator. Read more… |

Rick Huntress The loss of a loved one. A terminal illness. Divorce. A disabling accident. This list could go on, seemingly without end. Many of us have already had our lives touched by a tragedy, and for those of you that have not, you will. My point is not to show that I have a defeatist attitude; however, each of us must face reality. Eventually, all of us will be touched with pain. Read more… |
