Resolve to Sing Pt. 5 – Final Encouragement!
Throughout this five-part series, I have sought to convince you that singing more is a worthy resolution.

We have considered our creation as singing creatures and Christianity as a singing faith. We’ve consider singing as not Continue reading

Resolve to Sing: Part 1 – Singing as a Discipline
