WHY WE DON’T DANCE Tom Buck

Serving as a pastor in Florida, I was

approached by one of the church members

who wanted to perform an “interpretive

dance” in our corporate worship service. I

had never heard of such a thing. After she

explained exactly what she wanted to do, I

told her that I didn’t believe interpretive

dance was appropriate in corporate worship.

I proceeded to explain that we don’t find

support for “interpretive dance” in Scripture.

What she said next was more confounding to

me than her initial request. She said, “But

pastor, we have drama every Sunday in the

worship service and that isn’t in the Bible.”

Her words left me speechless, which for me

is no small feat. As I tried to do my own

interpretive dance around her question, I

told her I would think about her request

and get back to her.

She was correct that we had drama in our

services. I had attended several church

growth conferences that encouraged the

implementation of drama in worship services

to be more relevant to the modern culture.

As I began to contemplate her question, I

wondered why was it that I had no problem

with drama, but rejected “interpretive dance”

without a moment’s hesitation? I used the

excuse that you don’t find such a thing in

Scripture, yet you can more quickly find

examples of people dancing in the Bible than

you can dramatic presentations. It was in

that time of reflection that I realized there

was only one reason I was comfortable with

one and not the other: personal preference.

This was a monumental moment for me as a

pastor. As much as I claimed that the Word

was what drove my ministry decisions, the

reality in this case was my own personal

preference was determining the elements

of our corporate worship services. I could

not rightly approve of drama and reject

interpretive dance just because I preferred

one and not the other.

I came to discover, from examining church

history, that the issue of what would regulate

elements in corporate worship had been dealt

with long ago. Historically, it was labeled “The

Regulative Principle.” Simply put, everything

we do in corporate worship must be clearly

commanded in Scripture. Some argued that as

long as Scripture does not forbid something, it

is fair game. One problem with that approach

is that personal preference of individuals and a

congregation will usually rule the day. And

most likely, there will be some who find the

element helpful and others who will not. I

came to understand that anything we do in

corporate worship is in some sense binding the

consciences of worshippers to participate in

each part of the service. In other words, when

we sing, we expect everyone to sing. Therefore,

the only way we can legitimately bind

someone’s conscience to participate is if there

is an explicit biblical command or good and

necessary implication of a biblical text.

This is why we read the Bible (1 Timothy

4:13), preach the Bible (2 Timothy 4:2),

pray the Bible (1 Timothy 2:1), sing the Bible

(Ephesians 5:19), and see the Bible in the

ordinances (Luke 22:19; Romans 6:3-4). In

other words, the only dramatic presentations

in a worship service is the remembrance of the

Lord’s death around the Lord’s Table and the

picture of identification with Christ through

the act of Baptism. So, we don’t dance because

we do not find the Bible giving warrant to such

a thing in corporate worship and we don’t do

dramatic presentations during corporate

worship for the very same reason.

As we’ve learned in Exodus, we cannot

approach God any way that we please, and he

is the one who gives direction in how we are to

worship him. This truth is so critical that a brief

article cannot adequately address this topic.

Therefore, I hope to address this soon in an

upcoming Sunday morning worship service.

Until then, let the Word of God rule over

everything you do.

“Worship ing The Lord Together”

THIS SONG DOESN’T HELP ME

FEEL CLOSER TO GOD

Ryan Taber

Music has the ability to stir within us an emotional response.

Whether it is the Beatles, Bob Dylan, or a hymn that Grandma

used to sing, music has the capacity to move us. As times change,

style of music changes as well, that is why the church must be

careful not to associate a style of music with closeness to God. The

Bible does speak of closeness with God as something that should

be desired in the life of the believer, and it also gives us the means

of doing it. James 4:8 states, “Draw near to God, and he will draw

near to you.” This is a comforting verse for those who feel far from

God, but separated from its context, it has nothing to offer in

terms of how one draws near to God. The full context of the pas-

sage reads as follows: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to

the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil,

and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and he will draw near

to you.” The way that we draw near to God is by turning from the

things of the world and setting our hearts on the eternal things of

God. He goes on to say that the Christian should weep and mourn

over the things that separate us from God. The way that music

connects us to God is through the truth that it conveys from God’s

word, and the unity that it brings with God’s people.

“What songs do miserable Christians sing?” was the question that

opened the floodgates to a much needed conversation in Christian

circles. Dr. Carl Trueman, professor of Church History at

Westminster Seminary, asked the question, and it demands an

answer. For example, a prominent pastor’s wife relayed to me

about how difficult it was to go to church after her son committed

suicide. She was not hesitant to be among God’s people and she

never questioned God’s goodness, but what made it so difficult to

show up each Sunday was the music. The “happy-clappy,

everything is all right” music sounded so completely tone-deaf to

her loss. In order to have a full-spectrum appreciation for the highs

and lows of the Christians life we need to know three things:

First, we do not merely sing to an audience of one. When we

gather together as the people of God we are singing to one another

eternal truths, “admonishing one another…singing psalms and

hymns” (Col 3:16). Loud, congregation singing is a ministry of the

church. You have the opportunity to bind up a wounded brother

who overhears your singing each Sunday.

Second, the Book of Psalms is full of songs of sorrow. Many times

the people of God asked, “How long, O Lord?” The people of God

have been given by God appropriate words to pour out to God

concerning their troubles: “My tears have been my food day and

night” (42:3), “why do you hide your face from me?” (88:14).

Third, to use a phrase from J.R.R. Tolkien, we must recognize that

singing the blues ultimately affirms that God is working to make

everything sad become untrue. We pour out our complaints to God

as an act of faith because we know that he is the only one who can

do something about them. The church militant, shedding tears in

this earthly fight, will one day become the church triumphant,

standing in realms eternally bright.

A good beat? Associated memories? An interesting chord

progression? These criteria - and many more - are legitimate

reasons for liking a song. They may even merit calling a song

“good.” Yet the question above becomes more focused when

we refine it by asking “what makes a good song for church

music?” I want to offer three categories: theological

profundity, lyrical beauty, and musical accessibility.

We want the songs we sing as a church to be theologically

profound. I am saying more here than simply that our

songs must be true. A text like “Johnny B Goode” has no

theological error. Even songs like Leonard Cohen’s

Hallelujah” contain references to biblical history and hints of

theological truth. Yet they are not theologically profound in

a Christian sense. Good church music highlights profound

truths about our Triune God. The gospel is not trite; it is

not merely a statement of facts. It is, instead, the height

of theological profundity. Consider this theology: “He

welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor: our sins, they are

many; His mercy is more” (“His Mercy Is More,” Matt Papa

and Matt Boswell).

We want the songs we sing as a church to have lyrical

beauty. The best of songs don’t simply state facts, but engage

our imagination and our affections with the poetry they

utilize. There are many ways to say “we want to praise you,

God.” But repeating this simple phrase ad infinitum doesn’t

do much to inspire the imagination. Instead, how about, “O

Breath of God, O Spirit come, fill our mouths, and loose our

tongues to sing the praise of the risen Son; the mighty works

that God has done!” Also, consider this poetry: “Our call to

war, to love the captive soul, but to rage against the captor;

And with the sword that makes the wounded whole, we will

fight with faith and valor” (“O Church Arise,” The Gettys).

We want the songs we sing as a church to be musically accessible. Everyone loves to hear a virtuoso hit that high

note of our national anthem. The amazing talent God has

placed in the world is certainly worthy of our attention. But

when we gather together, the primary musical voice is the

congregation’s. We utilize music leaders and a choir to set

the pace and encourage others to sing, but everyone’s voice is

equally important. As such, we don’t want to sing songs that

only the professionals can manage. Simple rhythms, singable

melodies, comfortable ranges, and memorable song forms

are all factors that contribute to musical accessibility.

Consider the difference between Handel’s “Hallelujah

Chorus” (unless you’ve sung in choirs before, you won’t

make it past the first 20 bars without beginning to feel

sheepish) and John Newton’s “Amazing Grace” (perhaps the

most singable and memorable song of the last 250 years).

These three factors, in harmony with each other, have given

us some truly great songs that are worth singing in the

church together. Next time we sing together, think on what

a wonderful gift music is for the church: uniting our hearts,

minds, and voices together as we celebrate the gospel of

Jesus Christ.

THANK YOU NOTES

2016 was definitely unusual for us: medical problems,

surgeries and then on Christmas Day the loss of my

(Jolene) mother, Maggie Driggars (age 88+). Physical

healing has come for both of us. God's peace is continuing

to cover us. It was hard losing my sweet, wonderful,

beautiful Christian mother. Just knowing you, our

wonderful church family were there, was such a blessing.

We praise and thank God for His goodness, meeting all of

our needs, and teaching us to trust Him more. We thank

you all for your many prayers, love, support, meals, calls

and cards. They meant a lot to us. Just know that you are

all loved and appreciated.

WORSHIP AND MY EMOTIONS Chris Dilley

Human beings are an intricate creation. We are made in God’s

Image, and we possess many diverse qualities. For example, we

are rational, creative, and, at times, we are emotional. The Bible

shows us that our love for God should encompass the whole

person. The Greatest Commandment instructs us to love God

with “all your heart and with all your soul and with all your

mind” (Mt.22:37). In other words, we are called to love God

with all that we are. Our emotions are part of who we are, so,

from time to time, we will show emotion as we love God

through our worship. We see many examples of emotion in

worship in Scripture, especially in the Psalms. We see instances

of David worshipping God even as he is lamenting his trials. The

emotion he often shows is sorrow and sadness. Yet, we always

see David recalling the truth of God’s faithfulness and he is

never utterly despaired. In fact, it is evident that even though

David experiences much emotional distress at times, he never

allows his emotions to rule him. They become for David,

subservient to the truth of who God is and how He is working

among His people. We see an example of this in Psalm 6, a

psalm that was used in corporate worship in Israel. David says

the following: “I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood

my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. My eye

wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes.”

David is clearly emotionally troubled by his enemies who pursue

him. Yet, the focus of his worship ultimately is the Lord: “Depart

from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound

of my weeping. The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord accepts my

prayer. All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they

shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.” Yes, David is

moved to tears as he considers those who would pursue his life,

yet his worship is not dominated by his emotional feeling but by

the truth that God will deliver him. Unfortunately, many

contemporary Christian worship songs today tend toward an

opposite direction, elevating emotion over truth to the point

where songs are based on subjective feelings that aren’t

balanced by the objective truth of God’s Word. One good

exercise would be to look up the lyrics of a few of your favorite

worship songs today. As you read over them, what comes into

focus? Are the lyrics based on Scriptural truths or subjective

feelings? Are they God-centered or Man-centered? Are the lyrics

meant to help us feel better about ourselves, or are they meant

to help us to realize that our value is not in ourselves, but in our

identity in Christ? As we consider how we ourselves worship in

the body of Christ, we shouldn’t be afraid to show emotion. If we

are moved to tears of joy as we sing about the gospel, or tears of

sadness as we consider the depths of our sin, we should not fight

that. However, we must always be vigilant not to allow our

emotions to rule us, but rather examine our emotions through

the lens of Scripture, allowing God’s Word to rule over us.

I would like to extend a “Thank you” to my church family

for the prayers, meals, gifts, and care following my recent

diagnosis of cancer, surgery, and during my treatments. It was

a beautiful thing to see the Body of Christ minister to my family

during our time of need. We are blessed to be a part of this

body of believers.

With gratitude,

Lynn Doyle

I want to thank everyone for their support, encouragement,

and especially your prayers over the past few months, as I

prepared to leave for Chad. It is a blessing to be a part of

such a God-centered church and I am beyond grateful to so

many of you. Thank you for partnering with me to spread

the gospel!

Lots of love and blessings to you all,

Emily Ward

The family of Daphene Caudle would like to express their

thanks for the many acts of kindness that First Baptist has

blessed us with. We truly appreciate the food, flowers, and

cards, and most of all the prayers. She truly loved her church

and her Sunday School class, the Naomi Winsome Class.

Thank you all and may God bless!

BOOK REVIEW

Thomas Watson: The Doctrine of Repentance

“A good case could be made for believing that ‘repentance’ is one of the least-used words in the

Christian church today. In a world that will not tolerate the mention of sin, and in churches where it has been defined only in sociological terms, the biblical teaching on repentance has

inevitably been ignored.” This summary from the publisher couldn’t be more on point. Our world doesn’t acknowledge sin for what it is – an offense against the holy God who created

them. But as believers, we know the serious nature of sin and that when we fail, we are called to biblical repentance. This little book by puritan Thomas Watson is both biblically rich, and

immensely practical. Watson’s book provides a welcome, honest look into our need for repentance in the Christian life, with practical steps toward that end.

LIBRARY HOURS

Sundays from 9:00 - 9:45 AM and 10:30 - 11:15 AM

The ultimate factor of acceptable worship is faith in and union with Jesus Christ. Our

spiritual sacrifices are “acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). It is his

sinless offering of worship that cleanses and perfects ours.
