My guy

My little book on worship is in some honorable company at the Theopolitan Ministry Conference. May the Lord use it!

As of this month, I've been on staff at Theopolis Institute for a decade. That's over a quarter of my life. It's been one of the greatest honors and joys the Lord has given me. I hope to write a brief reflection on the past decade in the next month or so.

Paraphrase of Athanasius: God cannot begin to speak, else He would once have been mute. A God who speaks must have an eternal Word. Which is also to say: Silence is not the baseline being of God. To enter into God is to eavesdrop, also to join, an eternal act of communication.

Music is not neutral.

The Theopolitan life is a good one.

We need contemporary worship, but most of today’s contemporary worship music is shaped less by the Psalter and the great music of the historic church triumphant, and more by Coldplay’s “Fix You”, U2, and Phoebe Bridgers.

Classical music isn't the solution to the problems of church music. Classical music is the problem. -John Ahern, Director of Theopolis's Te Deum Music Fellows Program

The Reconciliation of Jacob and Esau (1595) Marten Van Valckenborch (Dutch, 1534-1612)
