Kingdom Polemics

The Psalms and Psalms Only


Listen Later

Welcome to another polemical episode of Kingdom Polemics, where we delve into the rich traditions and practices of church music. In this episode, our host, Pastor Aldo Leon, takes us on a solitary journey through the history and theology of Psalm singing within the church. With a focus on the exclusive use of Psalms in worship, Pastor Leon shares his personal transition and the church's shift towards Psalmody, exploring the biblical foundations and historical consistency of this practice. Here are some highlights:

  • The Shift to Psalm Singing: Pastor Leon recounts his initial hesitation and eventual conviction for the exclusive singing of Psalms in church services, detailing the transition from a mix of hymns to a Psalm-centric approach.
  • Biblical Case for Exclusive Psalmody: The episode dives deep into the nature of church power, the regulative principle of worship (RPW), and the scriptural mandate for Psalm singing, as outlined in the Westminster Confession.
  • Historical Consistency: A look at the Apostolic and Catholic traditions across centuries, affirming the consistent practice of Psalm singing in different churches and countries.
  • The Nature of Church Power: Discussion on the ministerial and declarative nature of church power, emphasizing that worship should be regulated strictly by scriptural prescription.
  • Revival Through Psalmody: Pastor Leon argues that the revival of true worship is linked to the restoration of Psalm singing, drawing parallels with biblical instances of spiritual renewal.
  • Pastor Aldo discusses objections to exclusive Psalmody, for example he cites Ephesians 5:18's reference to "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" as misunderstood evidence for using varied worship songs.
