Why We Sing

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Why We Sing," Steve Gregg discusses the significance of singing in worship for Christians and Jews. Singing not only expresses joy, but it also lifts one's spirits, reminds us of the joy of salvation, and invokes God's presence. Through singing, Christians can praise God and acknowledge His attributes, and it can even serve as a form of warfare against the enemy. Ultimately, singing is an important form of worship that should be done with intention and understanding.
