Praise as Defiance in the Face of Suffering and Death

Posted May 11, 2020February 24, 2021 GuestPosted in church, praise, TheoMisc Blog, worship

By Catherine Delve, WTC MA Student Praise as Default Ever since I was a child, I’ve known something of the power of praise. Praise was a default after my dad walked out, albeit after 24 hours once the initial shock had passed. It seemed something of a rebellious act—my own small act of rebellion in […]

Charismatic Christians, Crisis, and Coronavirus: Part II

Posted March 30, 2020February 24, 2021 Lucy PeppiattPosted in church, doctrine, TheoMisc Blog

This is the second of a series of three posts on Charismatic Christians, Crisis, and Coronavirus. For part one go HERE. Faith Not Fear or Denial? Here’s another bit of a verse, ‘…perfect love casts out fear…’ (The middle of 1 John 4:18). I’m not going to go into detail of the context of this […]

A Time for Minor Chords (Part III): Objections to Lament

Posted May 18, 2017October 22, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in church, New Testament, Old Testament, TheoMisc Blog, worship

[This is Part III of a series on lament. Part I is HERE, and Part II HERE] Objections objections… Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. (Jas 4:9) Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in […]

A Time for Minor Chords (Part II): Protest at the Divine Court

Posted April 5, 2017October 22, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in Old Testament, praise, TheoMisc Blog, worship

Time to Protest? In my previous post I discussed the continued lack of lament in contemporary worship (of the ‘worship band’ variety). My point was that there’s been very little appreciable movement toward lament in the past decades among the major producers of the songs listed on the CCLI lists and the like. Because of […]

Posted February 28, 2017January 11, 2021 Matt LynchPosted in church, praise, TheoMisc Blog, worship

The title of this post comes from Walter Brueggemann’s influential essay ‘The Costly Loss of Lament,’ written in 1986 (repr. in Psalms and the Life of Faith).

Brian Doerksen and Michael Gungor – Lament and Christian Worship

Posted March 18, 2014October 12, 2020 wtcadminPosted in WTCLive!

With: Brian Doerksen and Michael Gungor. Recently, musician Michael Gungor Tweeted this: “Approximately 70% of the Psalms are laments. Approximately 0% of the top 150 CCLI songs (songs most sung in churches) are laments.” In this WTCLive event we reflect with singer songwriter and worship leader Brian Doerksen on lament and Christian worship. Why has […]

“Grounded is an extraordinarily rich anthology of essays representing women’s voices on a broad range of topics in relation to the Christian faith from an equally broad range of perspectives. . . . It is shot through with a welcome realism that is often lacking in scholarly essays. Although entirely penned by Australian women scholars, it would be a mistake to think this volume was written solely for women or for Australians. . . . I highly recommend this to scholars, students, and church people alike.” - Lucy Peppiatt
