I've passed your comments on to my daughter. The daughter says: Hannah, the five year old, knows "exhaustion"...she's seen it in her mother from time to time...and she's now learning a new word and a new theological term.."exalted" and a new verse: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name above every name:.... Philippians 2:9
hehe.. that was so cute! That's cool too that you are teaching her the right word with scripture <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/ClapHands.gif" alt="" />
Try this for my friend who is 30!
Great is my faithfulness Lord unto thee.
LOL... I asked her "what are you arminian or sumthin?" hehe (she had told me afterward that she kept getting confused while singing and joked about it..lol.) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/moron.gif" alt="" />
The problem with exclusive psalmody (with a view to maintaining purity) is that it is then a means for worship in song that is often out of covenant context, and therefore out of today's worshiper's context of faith and the covenant in which he lives and moves and has his being and is able to give praise. Psalms, while pure and excellent to the extent for which they have been given, cannot, and are not meant to, find full place and communicate the glory of the covenant shift and reality of the believer's life and praise in this covenant. In fact, many of the psalms simply could not be sung today without the death of a thousand qualifications - which is not exactly the ideas of unfettered worship and glory to God. We have sung the psalms for years, and I love them greatly. However they are, by nature, limited in their capacity to express new covenant praise.
