Acts 4:31 – A Challenge for our Singing
I have a challenge for us regarding our singing. But first some questions: Have you ever just turned on the radio, heard your favorite song, and belted it out like you were a rock or country star? Have you ever sang so loudly you embarrassed your children? Do you barely sing above a whisper in church?
Ephesians 5:19 uses the verb “speaking” to one another to describe singing. After the apostles were arrested and released, the adjective used to describe their speaking was “boldly” (Acts 4:31). What both texts have in common are speaking and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
So here is our challenge: Sing psalms and hymns with the Holy Spirit. Sing spiritual songs like we sing are favorite songs – boldly. Do we accept the challenge?
