Mencarow (SWRB Blog) sermonaudio/new_details3.asp?ID=64297 Excerpt: After reading Hymns, Heretics and History, which makes the point that singing is a powerful form of teaching, and churches that would never allow women to teach men (1 Corinthians 14:34-35) nevertheless sing hymns written by women. I looked in the most recent (red) Trinity Hymnal, which as you know is used by many Reformed churches, to see if there were any hymns with lyrics written by women. There are at least 86. There may be more -- some of the first names are initials. That represents 13% of the total (742). Those songs attributed to The Psalter are 75 in number (10%). So there are more hymns with words written by women in the Trinity Hymnal than there are Psalms, or even what may be paraphrases of Psalms. Also, there are 35 hymns written by Isaac Watts, who at the least had unorthodox views of the Trinity and seems closer to Arianism. JOHN WESLEY WROTE I do not love God. I never did.

FULL REVIEW: PASTOR GREG L. PRICE RECOMMENDS THE PURITAN HARD DRIVE ow.ly/gAtQr or puritandownloads/pastor-greg-l-price-on-the-puritan-hard-drive/ Psalm Singing In The Early Church. Concerning the early Church, Bushell notes that, The introduction of uninspired hymns into the worship of the Church was a gradual process, and it was not until the fourth century that the practice became widespread. G.I. Williamson further points out that a second noteworthy fact is that when uninspired hymns first made their appearance, it was not among the orthodox Churches but rather the heretical groups ... If the Church from the beginning had received authority from the Apostles to make and use uninspired hymns, it would be expected that it would have done so. But it did not. Rather it was among those who departed from the faith that they first appeared. This historical testimony raises a number of interesting questions for those who claim to adhere to the regulative principle of worship and yet maintain the use of uninspired hymns in public worship. First, if the Psalter had been insufficient, why was there no command to produce new songs for worship, only commands to sing that which was already in existence? Second, if a new manual of praise was necessary, why was it that the Apostles did not write any new songs under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit? Third, why is it that we do not find even one hymn fragment among all the early church writings that have survived to this day. Moreover, there is not even one mention of the use of uninspired hymns among orthodox Christians until they began to be written in reply to the heretical hymns, which had not surfaced until late in the second century? (8. The first use of uninspired hymns was found among a heretical group called the Bardessanes. Cf. Williamson, Singing of Psalms, p. 16. 9. Bushell, Songs of Zion, p. 125.) Fourth, why was there still strong opposition to the introduction of uninspired hymns well into the fifth century? The Synod of Laodicea (A.D. 343) and the Council of Chalcedon (A.D. 451) both opposed the introduction of uninspired hymns. In addition to this Bushell states that as late as the ninth century we find appeals to the earlier Councils in support of a pure psalmody. - PSALM SINGING IN SCRIPTURE & HISTORY by Dr. Reg Barrow (emphases added) swrb/newslett/actualNLs/CRTPsSing.htm Reformed Worship & Singing the Psalms (Free MP3s) puritandownloads/reformed-worship-singing-the-psalms-free-mp3s/ The Regulative Principle of Worship declares that God alone is sovereign in worship.

Isaac Watts (Hymn Writer) Heresies (Unitarianism) On the Trinity & Person of Jesus Christ Exposed (SWRB Blog) sermonaudio/new_details3.asp?ID=13797 Hymns of human composition are used so commonly now in public worship by Presbyterian churches that it is difficult to believe that the practice is not a hundred years old, and that in some of the churches it is of very recent date. On the supposition that it is good and dutiful and wise to sing such hymns in worship, it is equally difficult to account for the neglect of the churches at the time of the Reformation, and for generations afterwards. What could have so blinded the reformers as to make them reject hymns and sing the Psalms alone? How could the Westminster Divines, in framing their Confession of Faith and Directory for Worship, have been so unanimous in the blunder that the service of praise is to consist of the singing of Psalms? And apart from the aspect of duty, how could the Presbyterian churches, for about a hundred and fifty or two hundred years after the Westminster Assembly, have been so insensible to the power of hymns as an attractive addition to their public services? We cannot by any means understand how it was that, if it was dutiful to use hymns in worship, the reformers did not discover the Scriptural warrant for the duty, especially as hymns had been used for centuries by the Church of Rome. Nor can we understand how they rejected the hymns and used the Psalms alone, unless on the supposition that they believed the use of hymns to be part of the will-worship of Rome. If they were wrong on this point, then Rome and our modern Presbyterian churches are right. In that case, the Puritans and Covenanters were fanatics, and Romanists were truly enlightened! And most of our Presbyterian churches of the present day were fanatical too, and did not become truly enlightened and liberal till they got back to the Romish practice! - James Dick, Hymns and Hymn Books (1883) on the Puritan Hard Drive bit.ly/ci3g2z Presbyterian Worship: Old and New by Kevin Reed swrb/newslett/actualnls/FrameWor.htm A Review and Commentary upon Worship in Spirit and Truth, a book by John Frame.
