We have a long history in the church of blatant examples of racism and people feeling like it’s separate.” He continued, “I have never experienced racism in the church.” But he added the caveat of, […]

The function of a worship song is to lead listeners into active worship, connect with, and focus on God, usually in a worship setting. Worship songs are simple, repetitive, and easy for anyone to join in with upon hearing for the first time.” […]
