It's Bach Week! Is J.S. Bach considered a "Fifth Evangelist"? Dr. Martin Dicke (former LCMS missionary, Member of Board of Directors for David's Harp, Composer of settings for Hymns of the Reformation from David's Harp) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about how Bach has influenced his life and work, formative experiences as a musician and missionary where Bach played a role in his love of music, where the phrase “the fifth evangelist” began as a description of J.S. Bach, how Bach approached scripture and who influenced his understanding and handling of the Word of God, and how his understanding of scripture is apparent in his compositions.

Have you ever wondered about the stories behind the hymns we've sung for generations? Today, we uncover the fascinating and unlikely origin of "Oh How I Love Jesus," a beloved hymn with a surprisingly divided history.What many don't realize is that Whitefield originally wrote nine verses, though most hymnals only include four. The five forgotten verses contain some of the most beautiful imagery in the hymn, speaking of God's guidance through darksome paths, His comfort in our deepest sorrows, and the promise of joining "the blood-bought throng" in heaven. These lost lyrics enrich our understanding of the hymn's message - that our love for Jesus flows naturally from His prior love for us, as 1 John 4:19 reminds us: "We love him because he first loved us."As we begin our week, let this powerful truth settle into your heart: God loved you before you ever thought about Him, before you deserved it, before you were right with Him. His love never ends and never fades. Listen to Carrie Underwood's beautiful rendition of this hymn (link in show notes), and carry this message with you today. Here is the youtube link to today's song.              https://youtu.be/u8fKX3xZaMM  We would love to hear your comments.

Dr. Matthew Barrett recently announced that he is leaving the Southern Baptist Convention and joining the Anglican tradition, citing his shift to paedobaptism as a major factor. In his announcement, he references Acts 2:39—“For the promise is for you and for your children…”—as part of the biblical basis for this change.In this video, we take a closer look at that verse. Does Acts 2:39 actually support the practice of infant baptism? Is it a strong argument against believer's baptism as held by Baptists?Let's explore five key reasons why this verse does not teach paedobaptism—and why the broader context actually reinforces the Baptist view of baptism as a response of personal faith.Support the showGET THE NEWSLETTEREach edition of the Reasonable Theology newsletter contains my latest article or podcast episode PLUS: A Theological Word or Phrase Explained Quickly and Clearly A Painting Depicting a Scene from Scripture or Church History Audio of a Hymn or other Musical Selection to Enjoy A Recommended Book or Resource to Expand Your Library SUBSCRIBE HERE

The hymn for our study this weekend was one of the first Lutheran hymns published during the Reformation in Germany. The author, Lazarus Spengler is not well known but was a contemporary of Martin Luther and a strong supporter and "co-worker" of Luther in the Reformation. He was condemned with Luther in Pope Leo X's letter of excommunication and was by Luther's side at the Diet of Worms in 1521. He was also deeply involved in the work of creating a Lutheran liturgy and hymns which were in German.  This hymn beautifully describes the two major doctrines of the Bible, Law and Gospel or Sin and Grace. It is based primarily on Romans 5 which highlights the problem of the human condition, inherited from Adam, and God's solution to the problem of sin in Christ, the Second Adam.   Spengler reminds us of the Biblical truth that "they have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one" (Romans 3:12) in the opening three verses and that "through one man's offense [Adam] judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation" (Romans 5:18).  But Spengler also points us to God's solution and His work of service to mankind in accomplishing our salvation through Jesus. For "Christ, the second Adam, came to bear our sin and woe and shame" (verse 4). Jesus work was one of substitution: "So by one Man, who took our place, we all received the gift of grace" (verse 5). Certainly we thank Jesus for coming, not to "be served, but to serve" and to "give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). Lord, bring us to a deeper appreciation of our natural condition and its consequences, and of Your service to us in Your perfect life and death as our substitute! Amen!  

"Music connects us with something deeper. We know there's stuff around us that science cannot explain. Consciousness, for example, is hard to explain through science alone. Music seems to connect you somehow with what this other thing is. The emotional impact that music has and how it connects people together is also very profound. Music was absolutely central to Einstein too and if he got stuck in something when he was theorising, he would go away and play his violin and that would transport him into a different world and give him ideas. He likened music to science and scientific discovery. Musicians, he believed, didn't create music; they received it. I believe that as well. The music is out there and you act as an aerial/valve/funnel. Einstein believed that about scientific discovery too -- it's not like you create these theories; you receive them. So, by playing music by composers he loved -- like Bach -- who he believed received music, it put him in that frame of mind for discovery. Other great scientists like Max Planck, who were also good musicians, have said that as well. Science, music and mathematics have been woven throughout history. It's natural because, what is music? It is sound. Sound is a physical phenomenon and it's got mathematical rules. There is something unique about music, something different from anything else, and that's' what makes it so fascinating!" -- David Darling, author, A Perfect Harmony; Music, Mathematics and Science talks to Manjula Narayan about everything from Mesopotamian music from 1400 BCE, the Bull-Headed Lyre of Ur, and the compositions of the Abbess Hildegard of Bingen to dementia choirs and the tannerin used by the Beach Boys Learn more about your ad choices.

Sermon by Rev. Sam McGlothlinFor our current sermon series - Hymns of the HeartScripture Reading: Matthew 5:14-16

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I reflect on a powerful moment at home: while a news anchor questioned God's goodness in the face of tragedy, my wife Gracie—still recovering from her 98th surgery—shouted a truth she learned from our friend Joni Eareckson Tada that's sustained us for decades: “He allows what He hates to achieve what He loves.” We explored how that statement ties into the doctrine of divine concurrence, how caregivers experience fear, guilt, and resentment, and how well-meaning but poor theology—especially in some corners of the church—can make things worse. I asked a pointed question I've carried for years: Why do faith healers wear glasses? We also continued our hymn series with “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,” focusing on the line: “Ponder anew what the Almighty will do.” That phrase has become more than poetry—it's a daily touchstone for those of us facing hard realities. I closed with an update on our prosthetic limb outreach in West Africa, how Gracie's vision continues to help others walk, and how you can be a part of it. If you're weary or uncertain, this episode is a reminder: Ponder anew what the Almighty will do. RELEASE DATE 8-20-2025 PRE-ORDER NOW!

Isaiah 6 is often quoted as an example of a willing servant of God expressing eagerness to be on mission for him. What can be overlooked, however, is the fact that God is calling Isaiah to an extremely difficult task, and Isaiah’s willingness to go comes less from a place of excitement and more from a place of experiencing the weightiness, superlativeness, and supremacy of God. Listen to this sermon from Rev. Andrew Smith as we consider how the motivation for going comes not from the mission but from the One who sends. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

The Trinity Season directs us to the RESULTS of Christ's work for us in our lives. This weekend we will be looking at God's Call. The Savior calls us to salvation and calls us into His service. His call comes with great and rich blessings. Our hymn for this weekend was written by a 17th century European hymnwriter named Johann Scheffler. Scheffler was raised in a Lutheran home but was influenced by mysticism and in his later years left Lutheranism to become Roman Catholic. He was a prolific writer and many of his hymns became very popular in European churches of all branches. His hymns are simple and contain beautiful poetry. As we study this hymn we will notice that it does not specifically point to Jesus as Savior, but as an example. It is found in the New Obedience section of our hymnal, which highlights its sanctification theme. While it is grounded in Scripture, we have to be careful not to think of Jesus only as our example, but to know and confess that He is (more importantly) our Redeemer.   The hymn is written in a unique way, as Jesus Himself speaks to us in the words of this hymn. It is primarily based on Jesus' words in Matthew 16:24: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” We see Jesus as our "example" in verse 1. In verse 2 Jesus shows "how you must sojourn here below." And in verse 4 He teaches us "how to shun and flee what harms your soul's salvation." The only subtle emphasis on Jesus as Savior comes at the end of verse 4 where Scheffler writes: "I am the Refuge of the soul and lead you to your heavenly goal." But even there he does not explain how Jesus has done that. The apostle Peter wrote: "For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”; who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness— by whose stripes you were healed" (1 Peter 2:21-24). Notice how Peter connects Jesus as our example to Jesus as our Savior in those verses. Jesus is both. But His work our our Savior is more important.  While this hymn can be an encouragement for the believer who knows that Jesus is his Savior, but need encouragement in his life of Christian sanctification, this hymn is not intended for the unbeliever. The unbeliever first needs to know Jesus as Savior, before he can follow Jesus as an example.  May the LORD who has called us into His family by the blood of Jesus, bless each of us in living out our lives to His glory!

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, and to take him at his word; just to rest upon his promise, and to know, "Thus saith the Lord." The words of this hymn came from a grieving heart.

Send us a textHave you ever needed something steady to hold onto when everything around you was shaking? "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" might be the quietest anthem of faith ever written—not making a grand entrance, but showing up faithfully when your strength doesn't.Unlike hymns of triumph and majesty, this beloved gospel song speaks to our deepest vulnerabilities. Born from real heartbreak when composer Anthony J. Showalter responded to two former students who had lost their wives, the hymn transforms the promise of Deuteronomy 33:27 into a melody of comfort: "The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."What makes this hymn extraordinary is how it's transcended its origins to become part of our cultural fabric. From Mahalia Jackson to Alan Jackson, from The Night of the Hunter to True Grit, these simple lyrics about divine support have resonated even in secular spaces. Yet behind its cultural reach lies theological depth wrapped in the simplest language—fellowship that brings joy, a pilgrim journey made sweeter by divine companionship, and freedom from fear not because life is safe, but because God is good and walks with us.Whatever wilderness you're walking through right now, this episode invites you to lean in—to the arms that never weaken, the promises that never fade, and the fellowship that never lets go. Join us as we discover why, generation after generation, believers have found such comfort in these simple words: "safe and secure from all alarms."SHOW NOTES:Leaning on the Everlasting Arms performed by Nathan Drake of Reawaken Hymns from the album Hymns of the Father from The Trinity Project.To purchase the digital album and any or all of the amazing Reawaken Hymns worship resources for Hymns of the Father.Lyric videos, chord charts, sheet music available for "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” can be found on Reawaken Hymns.Acoustic version of this hymn also available from Reawaken Hymns.Support the show www.thebrightforever.comAll songs used by permission.

There's a new Superman movie out this month—but when I heard that, my mind flew back 38 years to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, a cinematic trainwreck of epic proportions. The plot was absurd, the budget was anemic, and Hollywood wisely took a long break from the franchise after that. But while the movie deserves all the ridicule it gets, the title stuck with me: The Quest for Peace. Because if you're a caregiver, you know exactly what that feels like. In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I invite my fellow caregivers to join me on that very journey—the often painful, sometimes hilarious, always sacred search for peace. Peace in the middle of sleepless nights, endless medical drama, strained relationships, and a soul stretched thin. I open up about a struggle many caregivers carry but rarely talk about: resentment. Whether it's being overlooked by family, dismissed by doctors, or just frustrated with God—or yourself—it eats away at us. Drawing from the words of C.S. Lewis, I discuss how forgiveness, anchored in God's grace, becomes a daily practice—not a feeling, and certainly not a one-time decision. I also continue my series on “30 Hymns Every Christian Should Know,” spotlighting Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Inspired by Lamentations 3, where Jeremiah finds hope in the wreckage of Jerusalem, this hymn—written by Thomas Chisholm, who lived with chronic illness—offers a powerful reminder that God's mercy meets us every morning, even when we can barely get out of bed. I play it from the “caregiver keyboard,” the one I use for Gracie, whose voice gives it a strength words alone can't capture. So, no, I'm not wearing a cape. I don't fly. But after 40 years as a caregiver, I've learned a few things about finding peace when everything around you is breaking. Join me for this honest, gritty, and grace-filled episode.

Have you ever wondered if Jesus could truly be your friend? In a world that often feels rushed and superficial, Pastor JB kicks off our "Hymns" series by diving into the profound truth of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." This message will invite you into an intimate, personal relationship with God that goes far beyond just intellectual understanding. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, JB unpacks how to cultivate this friendship through three key elements:     •    Pace: Discover the importance of unhurried, consistent time with God, learning to "abide" in His presence.     •    Price: Understand that true friendship with Jesus involves loyalty and obedience, a willingness to align your life with His commands out of love.     •    Payoff: Experience the incredible joy, peace, wisdom, and direction that comes from walking in deep intimacy with your Savior. If you're ready to move from just knowing about Jesus to experiencing Him as your closest friend, this message is for you.

How should Reformed churches approach the selection of psalms and hymns for corporate worship? In this video, Camden Bucey offers a rich, pastoral, and practical guide for choosing music that reflects the theological and liturgical shape of a service. Drawing on years of ministry experience, Camden explains how to align musical selections with Scripture texts, sermon themes, and the redemptive-historical movement of the liturgy. This talk goes beyond personal preference or musical taste. Learn how thoughtful hymnody and psalmody can serve the worship of the triune God by reinforcing Scripture, guiding the congregation's response, and cultivating reverence, joy, and theological depth.

Hapi was Egypt. The life-giving waters of the annual flood (inundation) were his work; and thanks to these waters, Egypt flourished, its people were fed, the gods received their offerings, and the social order was maintained. From the New Kingdom, papyrus and ostraca record songs/poems to the river god, called "Praise (dua) of Hapi." From the days of Ramesses II, we also have elaborate proclamations to the god and his blesings... A Hymn to Hapi (excerpt) Hail to you Hapi, who comes forth from the earth, Who arrives to give life to Egypt (Kemet), Hidden of nature, like darkness in the day, Whose followers sing to him, Who floods the fields, created by Ra, Who causes every herd to live, Who satisfies the desert, which is far from water, He (Hapi) is the moisture, descending from the sky… ... Egypt is awakened; its exhaustion has gone! All the creatures celebrate, when (Hapi) makes the Two Banks green. When he pours forth abundance, among the old and young alike. How lovely the lotus, whose blossoms dot the flood, that they may tell the happiness to come. ... Come, O god (Hapi)… do not be slow! Do not be cruel, reducing what we have, for you might do wrong to the innocent… May you (Hapi) give breath to the nose, when you come. O Hapi, do not sink into the ground… Your perfection is here before us, so that we may turn back to your keeping; and the gods are near… ...
