Worship and Doctrine

by Josh Starkey on January 02, 2014

"Songs that are rich with gospel truth and weighty in God-centered, Christ-honoring content will shape worshipers who understand and adore God...If we are to worship God, we must know who He really is...We must drench our worship in doctrine and saturate our services and songs in Scripture. In doing so, we will lay a strong theological foundation on which the Lord will build His kingdom. He will be lifted up and draw men to Himself."
