Wow! Thanks for posting. I remember seeing them when I was in college in the early ‘80s. I’ve loved their music ever since. It has stood the test of time and I truly believe God has blessed their talents.

Glory to God. I see the scope and depth of classic Christian hymns and music as a distinctive testimony the Lord being the living God, not some theological construct or distant deity. A comparison with the kind of hymns of Islam etc. would be interesting.

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; (Ephesians 5:19)

Those are the two instruments (i.e. the voice and the heart) we used in the assembly of the church this morning. We can find no indication God is pleased with any others, so we stick with those alone lest He be displeased with us.
