King For A Week – Worship Matters

Articles Collection cover image

King for a Week is an honor I bestow on blogs that I feel are making a valuable contribution to my faith and the faith of other believers. Every week (or so) I select a blog, link to it from my site, and add that site’s most recent headlines to my left sidebar. While this is really not much, I do feel that it allows me to encourage and support other bloggers while making my readers aware of other good sites.

This week’s King for a Week is Worship Matters, the blog of Bob Kauflin, who serves in Gaithersburg, Maryland as Director of Worship Development for Sovereign Grace. He is probably best known for his involvement in several Sovereign Grace Music projects, including Upward: The Bob Kauflin Hymns Project and Songs For The Cross Centered Life. Bob is a relative newcomer to the blogosphere, having begun “Worship Matters” in November of last year. But since then, he has often blessed and challenged me with his humble, Christ-centered reflections on faith and worship. While the blog is intended primarily for those who are involved in leading God’s people in corporate worship, I can attest that it will prove valuable for anyone who cares to make it a regular stop.

For the next few days you will be able to see the most recent headlines from Bob’s blog in the sidebar of my site. I hope you will make your way over to his site and look around.

I continue to accept nominations for King of the Week. If you have a site you would like to nominate, feel free to do so by clicking on the “suggest” button below the King of the Week box. Thanks to those of you who nominated this week’s honoree.

    Did the Angels Laugh?

    You’ve got to hand it to the chief priests and Pharisees: They did their best. They did their level best to keep Jesus in his tomb. After successfully overseeing his execution, they remembered that he had not only predicted his death but also spoken of some kind of resurrection. Wanting to make sure his disciples…

    It Comes with a Personal Tutor

    The promised Spirit has come, and one of the great helps this Helper performs is a kind of tutoring. Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth says it well: “Unlike any other book that has ever been written, the Bible is alive; and it comes with a personal tutor—the Holy Spirit, who lives in us.”
