Let the word of Christ dwell and you richly in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another and in psalms and hymns and
Spiritual songs singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. Who are we singing to?
What are we singing to our neighbors so that that you know, we are singing to our neighbors
But it's us seen together in one accord and who are we supposed to be singing to we're supposed to be singing to
God with grace in our hearts being thankful for the things that he gives us being thankful to him for our salvation
And all the benefits that he gives us turn to Ephesians chapter 5 verse 17 Ephesians 5
verse 17
So the Bible commands us this isn't just a suggestion
Hey, you know, I'd really if you feel like it, you know, go ahead and sing some songs to me
No, God commands it over and over through the Bible
There's so many verses on this that I can't even possibly put it in the sermon, but I just kind of went for the the main
ones
Ephesians 5 17 says wherefore be not unwise
But understanding what the will of the Lord is and be not drunk with wine wearing his excess
But be filled with the Spirit now
How do you get filled with the Spirit in verse 19 says speaking to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs?
Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs not CCM not Christian rap, which is crap
not
Country Western John 3 16 or whatever a stupid song, you know
Look that if you're if they're talking about drinking beer and how they met Jesus in the first in the same song
That's wickedness and we're not singing that kind of song in this church
That's
When I drank my first beers how I found Jesus come on
And people just love that stupid song, but I'll tell you what it's wicked as hell. It teaches a wrong message
So it says giving thanks in verse 20 giving
Thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God and God spells it out for Psalms hymns spiritual songs
And songs about drinking beer are not spiritual songs
Okay songs about how you have to work hard to get to heaven where I come from. It's cornbread and chicken
Look, I like cornbread and chicken but working your way to heaven is not how you get saved
And so those songs are wicked just because it says God doesn't mean it's a good song
