A week ago a number of members of our worship team had the opportunity to gather with about 1,600 pastors and worship teams at Covenant Life Church for Worship God 08, the Sovereign Grace worship conference. It was a memorable time of celebration, fellowship, and teaching around the book of Psalms.
When I go to a conference I try to take everything in, but am listening in every message for heart-piercing or truth-illuminating insights that I can meditate on in the days and weeks ahead. Here are five quotes from at the conference that hit me like lasers of insight. They are from the preaching of God’s word as various Psalms were opened up to us. Take a moment to ponder these thoughts and let them stir your heart.
Craig Cabaniss commenting on Psalm 33:
The power of the Psalms is not that they are relatable to us, but that they are revelatory of God.
Only God can speak, and out of nothing, something will come.
Thabiti Anyabwile commenting on Psalm 73:
The overwhelming emotion in heaven will be awesome satisfaction that God is truly all we need.
David Powlison commenting on Psalm 28:
The Psalms are ABOUT what life is about. And life is always playing variations on a theme: the human predicament, the hardships of sin and suffering, the Lord our God who intervenes with mercies, who reveals Himself so that we know Him and abound in hope.
Bob Kauflin commenting on Psalm 24:
Our conduct will always be determined by whose we are, and what we worship.
All the main session messages will be available for download soon from Sovereign Grace Ministries .
When you’re at the web site, don’t forget to check out the new worship CD Psalms, which provides rich new songs for worship built around the content of the Psalms.
