Hello again VBS folks! This is the sixth installment of a 10 part series on what makes a successful VBS. This weeks ingredient is Praise Songs & Thanksgiving:
The Bible has a lot to say about praising, singing and giving thanks. The Psalms alone has 86 references while the New Testament has 36 with the majority in Revelation which gives a hint of what Heaven is going to be like. Here are some more verses on the topic of praise and thanksgiving:
*12 that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever! – Psalm 30
*1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to the Most High. – Psalm 92
*16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. – Colossians 3
Every year we get feedback that the music is too loud. I am not trying to be insensitive to folks but check out these verses!:
*8 Let the whole world bless our God
and loudly sing his praises. – Psalm 66
*4 Sing praises to God and to his name!
Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.
His name is the Lord—
rejoice in his presence! – Psalm 68
