Between Two Worlds

Joe Holland writes on Rediscovering the Psalms. Here's an outline of his piece:

1. When you sing psalms you literally sing the Bible.
2. When you sing the psalms you interact with a wealth of theology.
3. When you sing the psalms you are memorizing Scripture.
4. When you sing the psalms you guard against heresy.
5. When you sing the psalms you engage a collection of songs that address the full range of human emotions.
6. When you sing the psalms you praise the person and work of Jesus Christ.
7. When you sing the psalms you are training for spiritual warfare.
8. When you sing the psalms you are engaging the communion of saints.

He asks, "If those are the benefits of psalm sings, how then can you go about learning to sing them?"

1. Find a Psalter you can sing.
2. You must know your Bible.
3. You must understand how the psalms direct us to the person and work of Jesus Christ.
4. You will need is the willingness to try something new.
