So this week is our last week in Rockford, and we are sad to be leaving all the friends we have made here. However, there is much to be done, and we are excited to get moving again. At the end of this week we will be going to Michigan for a few meetings and a missions conference. We will mostly be on the Eastern side of Michigan (north of Detroit). Then we will be heading to the North East (Centered in Virginia) for a few weeks before heading to South Carolina for the Holidays.
For Sermons in Song, we have been working on some cello parts that we hope to record. If all goes well, we should be able to send the final mix to mastering by the end of the year. More exciting than this is that two men have begun the Ordination Mentoring program that I have been working on in conjunction with our work at Veritas School of Theology. For a window into this program, you can see Bro. Will Dudding's comments on his blog.
Pray for these men, as this program is both rigorous and challenging in many ways. I am so thankful to be able to have a part in God's ministry to and with these men. Pray also for us, that God will continue to provide and that we will be effective in the work that he gives us to do. Pray also that the ministry of the Word will be clear and profitable, whether communicated in preaching, teaching, or music.
Here We Go!

What Is A Sermon In Song?
Preaching
...should deliberately and consciously adhere to what the Bible says, where the Bible says it, and with the emphasis that the Bible gives. However, this should not mean that preaching is a dry, academic, exercise in boredom. No one should ever be put to sleep with the Word of God.
Music
...is like a language, with the volume turned up on the emotion, and when this is accompanied by lyrics, the result can be both powerful and memorable. Because of this, music must be used carefully and with particular attention to what is communicated to the audience (both lyrically and emotionally).When these elements are brought together, you have a Sermon in Song!
