I would venture to say February 28 that most of us have a nega:ve reac:on when hearing that word. For some of Parent/Child you, it may bring back memories of geng in trouble at school, or being Dedica:on Class punished for wrongdoing at home. For others, it may cause memories of rigidness and structure in a classroom. Some of you may have even felt crushed at some point in your life because of discipline received from a parent or elder. March 21 Parent/Child Dedica:on I want to challenge you to look at discipline in a new way. Start thinking of Church Bible Drill discipline as a training process and not as punishment. Discipline comes from the La:n root, discipere, which means “to grasp intellectually or analyze March 28 thoroughly” from dis- “apart” + capere- “take.” When parents discipline their kids, they are taking apart a problem in order to thoroughly analyze it. Discipline Regional Bible Drill is meant to prevent future problems, not just solve immediate problems. It teaches, instructs, and trains. Discipline is more about teaching our children Children’s Ministry what to do than about teaching them what not to do. When we discipline them, we show them the beaer way.

  • Tobymac I Just Need You Free Mp3 Download Tobymac
    tobymac i just need you free mp3 download tobyMac. The Eye On It Songfacts reports that Eye On It, TobyMac's fifth full-length studio album was released on August 28, 2012. Said TobyMac regarding the album title: "I want my music to depict what I'm going through. I want to write about the things that upset me, move me, hurt me and haunt me. The things that are real. With Tonight, I was determined to live more passionately with God. I was laying down the gauntlet. Eye On It is a continuation of that. It's saying, 'This is the person I want to be and I'm going to keep my eye on it, God willing!'" TobyMac "Tonight" The ascension of TobyMac's solo career has been nothing short of spectacular. In an era of declining music sales he has consistently defied the odds and has seen his sales increase with each new album release. This is no small feat. With his fourth studio album TONIGHT released on Feb. 9, he is poised to take things higher yet again. Having climbed the mountain once with the group dcTalk (4 Grammys, more than 8 million albums sold), TobyMac knows how difficult the journey can be and how much work the process actually takes. Rarely does an artist get to soar to great heights for a second time, but soar he has. He took home his first Grammy as a solo artist last year after receiving Grammy nominations for each of his first four solo projects (Momentum, Welcome To Diverse City, Portable Sounds, Tonight).

PSALMS, HYMNS, OR SPIRITUAL SONGS?: A MILLENNIAL’S JOURNEY WITH THE WORSHIP WARS by Courtney Elizabeth Fritz Submitted to the Honors Program Committee in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors Scholars Southeastern University 2017 Courtney Elizabeth Fritz, Southeastern University 2017 Abstract: Since the 1980’s, the rise of popular and rock n’ roll music has had a significant impact on the music in Protestant churches. The emergence of the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) industry, fueled by the popularity of these types of music, changed how many churches use music in their gatherings. The widespread use of popular music in the church (often causing hymnals to be discarded) caused a major rift among congregations, a term coined the “worship wars.” This argument is still being fought today. This paper is designed to give an overview of other times in history when the church fought over music, to study the causes and outcomes of these current worship wars, and to discuss how this generation of worship leaders can approach these issues in the churches today.
