Where this bandwagon’s headed…

In today’s world of contemporary worship, complete with smooth guitar chords, sleepy lyrics, and feminist undertones, much high theology has been written on why we look different from the seeker-sensitive megachurch crowd. But there’s little application in the way of how this high theology actually applies to musical styles and choices of instruments. Thus we see many in the reformed camp who have all the high theology but whose worship services are still stuck in the modern dark ages.

This page was begun as a collection point for my research into the realm of Christian worship in the ecclesia—that is, the church gathered on Sunday mornings. By subscribing, you’ll get quick access to my most recent thoughts and will therefore have an opportunity to critique my findings.

Who is I

I’m a Christian, husband, cargo pilot, and artist who enjoys singing psalms and hymns and helping others to do the same. I was homeschooled by my parents along with my eight siblings, all of whom can sing, and it’s always a good time when we get ourselves together in one room with a set of psalter hymnals.

Advancing the kingdom in the world of artwork is also something I’m interested in doing, and to that end I create oil paintings which I sell here.

How you can help

My overall goal with this research was to help make my own ideas on the matter more biblically grounded, but it’s been recommended I write a book. Now, I like this idea. But a book requires more research. And research takes time. So here’s what you can do to help me out: send me articles and books. Give feedback, especially where you disagree with my findings. Share this page with all your friends. And if this is a project you want to get behind and support financially, your contributions will directly affect how much time I can invest in further research and writing.

Thank you for your support in either or all of these areas!
