A Hymn for That

Send a text

In this episode of Hymns Illustrated,  we'll take a final look at our Hymn of the Month (HOM) and rejoice in our salvation along with the hymn writer, Robert McCheyne.

I also share more about a new segment  in which you can participate! I'm looking for hymn testimonials from listeners - short audio clips I can use for the show. The goal is to help us all see the bigger picture of how God uses hymns in the lives of believers, as He moves and directs and grows and sanctifies His church.

Here's how you can share an audio recording of your testimonial. See directions.

Enjoy the episode!

In this episode of Hymns Illustrated,  we'll look closer at our hymn of the month (HOM) and why we need at least some of our Christmas hymns to be in a minor key. We'll think more about the meaning of Emmanuel (God with us), and discover a  little-known Christmas  hymn that the Gettys and Ricky Skaggs recently recorded. In our "Take It With You" segment, I share something you can do alone or with children in the week leading up to Christmas Day to remember the names and person of Christ.
