Singing is one of the two chief ways in which God’s Word dwells in us richly. And, as we observed in the last point, singing is a command. But this comman...
First, you build up fellow believers when you sing: Note specifically here in Ephesians 5:19 that it says: “Addressing one anotherin psalms and hymns and spiritual songs…” We see the same thing in Colossians 3:13-16: the exhortation to sing comes on the heels of bearing with one another (v. 13a), forgiving one another (v. 13b), putting on love (v. ...
