“We come for worship to be led by one Songleader, our Lord Jesus Christ. Which, incidentally, is one of the reasons you ought to be singing. Shame on me if I am silent when I am standing at the shoulder of my Lord Jesus Christ singing His heart out in praises to His heavenly Father.

Shame on me if I am in His choir and I am silent when He is urging me to sing the praises of this magnificent God. It is a marvelous incentive to sing that you know that it is Jesus who is leading your singing.”

  1. Great quote. No doubt I’ll be reusing that at some point. Thanks!

  2. I just wanted to thank you for putting these quotes up here. I read your blog through Google Reader, so I don’t often comment, but I really enjoy your selection of the choice words that you read from these books.

    We have pulled from it more than once for our bulletin (http://www.edgewood-danville.org). You seem to have a talent for quoting something that fits in with what we are exploring at church.

    Thanks again, Keep it up.
