We are currently attending a church that is in the center of Hot Springs Village (the largest gated retirement community in the country). We are not retired. But it has been refreshing to be in a church that does things totally different than what is hip and cool. They sing mostly hymns! And they have an organ (with a band).
As we sing these hymns again, I am really trying hard to concentrate on the words. They are so very powerful. Take the classic, "'Tis so Sweet"
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His Promise
Just to know 'thus saith the Lord.'
Jesus, Jesus How I trust Him!
How I've proved Him over and over
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus
O for Grace to Trust Him more.
I think we have forgotten how to take Jesus at His Word, to rest on His promises, to know this is what God says. There is no foundatin more firm than to trust God's Word.
