Skating while we sing?

‘Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord’ (Ephesians 5.19, NIV).

Music Richard Simpkin

I often ask friends for issues to tackle in this column, and every now and then a few people give me the same idea independently. This month I’d like to thank three good friends — John Pearce, Jon Ward and Andrew Joyce for prompting my brain to splutter into at least a bit of life on a grey Monday morning in November. A concern of theirs and of mine is about the nature of the words we sing to God and each other as Christians.
