A Simpler Song Reclaiming Worship That’s Pure, Powerful, and Pleasing to God By Clarence W. Fell Have you ever sat through a worship service that looked more like a concert than a communion with God? The lights flash. The music swells. But your heart quietly wonders, “Is this really what God wants?” You’re not alone. In A Simpler Song, Clarence W. Fell invites readers to step away from performance-driven worship and return to something more ancient, more authentic, and more aligned with Scripture: heartfelt a cappella praise. Drawing from New Testament principles, historical insight...

At the same time, millions of Americans are abandoning organized religion altogether in favor of disorganized disbelief. Reorganized Religion is an in-depth and critical look at why people are leaving American churches and what we lose as a society as it continues.

IT is a singular fact, that the authenticity of this passage, the inspiration of it, has been frequently denied. I believe it is not at the present time received among the Greek Churches, although it was usually adopted among the Latin Churches. Calvin doubted its inspiration, Beza, and many of the most eminent ...
