I don't always enjoy hymns and music used in some places. Some songs annoy me. They have a rhythm, and a tempo that is not in rhythm, and in gear with what I feel in my spirit, and it annoys me.
We have so few hymns going back to God. Most of them are salvation hymns.
There are three kinds of hymns:
1. Experience hymns center on self.
2. Prayer hymns are for something or someone.
3. Worship hymns are directed to Him.
He knows our limitations, but when the Spirit keeps moving, He makes one lovely song -- our songs, our singing seem very shallow as against the melodies, and the glory, and worship in heaven. Of course, it's very broken, and seems very shallow, but it's the best that we have. "Dear Lord, look on our hearts, and read them; receive from us what little we have."
Be the first to react on this!
John Follette (1883 - 1966)
Follette was a gifted Bible teacher and author, who had both perspective and spiritual depth in his interpretation of the Word. He was an illuminated spirit in the field of spiritual reality, and had an unusual ability to impart “spirit and life” into those who sat under his ministry.He received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1913 while a student at a Bible School in Rochester, New York, and later became a teacher there until the school closed. He also taught for many years at Southern California Bible College. During the later years of his life, he was called into a wider field, ministering in conferences and retreats which took him around the world. He passed into his eternal reward in 1966 at the age of 82.
