- It is important we guard against false gospels that masquerade as the true Gospel. Bethel Church is a dangerous church and we should understand why. The Gospel Coalition has written a good and solid article explaining the dangerous teachings coming out of this church. This is why I have chosen not to introduce any of their songs at our church.9 Things You Should Know About the Bethel Church MovementWhat you should know about Bethel Church and their controversial pastors.www.thegospelcoalition.org
- ISAAC WATTS: THE FATHER OF ENGLISH HYMNODY Birth: July 17th, 1674 || Death: November 25, 1748 => Was called "The Father of English Hymnody" for good reason. => Wrote an upwards of 700+ hymns. => Hymns he wrote include "Joy to the World', "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross", "At the Cross", and so many more. => His hymns were considered too contemporary for his time and many criticized his hymns for not being direct translations of the Psalms which was the mode of music in the church called "Psalmody", a method advocated by John Calvin. => At this time in history a lot of churches sided with John Calvin in using Psalmody as the mode of music in the church rather than Martin Luther's stance of using Hymnody as the mode of music.
