| 0:00.0 | What is the Bible's view of free will? That's just one of the questions we'll be |
| 0:11.3 | answering on today's edition of Core Christianity. Well, hi, I'm Bill Meyer, along with Pastor |
| 0:16.5 | Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program where we answer your questions about the Bible and the Christian life every day. We'd love to hear from you. Here's our phone number. It's 833-3-the-core. That's 1-833-843-243-2673. We're open to questions about theology, doctrine, scriptural passages that might be confusing to you, or even if you have any |
| 0:38.6 | doubts about the Christian faith, we'd love to hear from you as well. Again, 833 The Core. You can also |
| 0:44.1 | post your question on one of our social media sites, and you're always welcome to email us at |
| 0:48.8 | Questions at Core Christianity.com. Now, in addition to hosting this program, Adriel is also the pastor of a church |
| 0:56.9 | in beautiful San Diego, California. And I understand you have something kind of a tradition at your |
| 1:01.8 | church called the Psalm of the Month. Yeah, it's not that old of a tradition. We just started doing it a few |
| 1:06.7 | months ago, but we're trying to pick a different psalm every month that we sing through every |
| 1:12.7 | Sunday, which has been a lot of fun. It's kind of a good way to, I think, memorize scripture, |
| 1:17.1 | to learn the music. I think that's key, you know, a lot of times, especially when we introduce |
| 1:21.3 | new songs to the church if the tune isn't familiar, you know, it's harder for people to sing. |
| 1:26.6 | And so getting to learn the music has been really neat. And I just love it.'t familiar, you know, it's harder for people to sing. And so getting to learn the |
| 1:27.9 | music has been really neat. And I just, I just love it. You know, we have basically an entire hymnal |
| 1:33.4 | in our Bibles called the Book of Psalms, and we oftentimes neglect it. And so any chance we get to |
| 1:40.0 | sing the Psalms together as a church just is so wonderful. And of course, we never have to worry |
| 1:45.3 | about the lyrics because they're divinely inspired. And so this is exactly the kind of thing we |
| 1:52.1 | want to sing together as the people of God. It's been pretty neat. Let me ask you just in general |
| 1:57.9 | when we look at worship music in the church. Do you think we need to return to maybe focusing on some hymns and some psalms that have really a rich theological tradition? |
| 2:09.0 | Yeah. Well, I mean, I think it's just important for us no matter what we do in church and especially, you know, during the worship service that we're asking ourselves, the question |
| 2:17.8 | is what we're doing in terms of the songs that we're singing, is this right? Is this true? |
| 2:22.7 | Is this in line with what God has revealed in his word? And so whether that's through hymns or |
