If you're not following My Soul Among Lions on Facebook, you might not know that they've been livestreaming a new song each Tuesday night at 8pm as they work their way from Psalm 21 to Psalm 30 in preparation for their next album this Fall.
Clearnote Bloomington has had the pleasure of being led in worship with these songs each Sunday morning, followed by a sermon on the same Psalm. They're calling it the Summer Psalm Series.
Everybody else can listen to the sermons here, and catch the songs on Facebook. Here's the livestream of Psalm 25 from this past Tuesday night, and the corresponding sermon.
With our 'Psalms 1-10' Kickstarter campaign drawing to a close (just 4 days left to go!), we're so thankful and pleased to see that God has not only allowed us to meet our basic goal of $9000, but also our first and second stretch goals, too. This is wonderful!
Did you know that every backer will be receiving at minimum a pre-release copy of the album? We're already oversubscribed, but if you haven't yet contributed to the campaign and you'd like to be among the first to receive the album, consider making a $10 or $25 pledge before this Saturday night in order to reserve yourself a pre-release copy. The album won't be publicly released until early 2016, but we hope to get it into the hands of all our subscribers by mid-november, in digital form at least.
Thanks again, everyone, for your encouragement and support!
What could be more important to the reform of our churches and homes than restoring God's Word to the center of worship? And, outside of preaching, what better way to go about this than reintroducing the forgotten practice of singing the Psalms?
We're embarking on an exciting adventure, and we're inviting all of you here at Baylyblog to share in it with us. Just this spring some of the musicians and songwriters here in Bloomington teamed up with a handful of worship leaders from Indianapolis and Toledo to begin work on producing a modern psalter for our churches and homes. In just a few short months, we finished multiple versions of the first ten psalms, and now we're looking to record them and produce charts and lead sheets, made available entirely for free.
We want to encourage a revival of Psalm singing in our churches, but we need your help. So we launched a Kickstarter project. Check out the video below, and then head over to Kickstarter to sample more of our work (see the videos at the bottom of the page), check out the rewards we're offering, and see how you can help. If nothing else, do us a favor and pre-order the digital album for only $10 or hardcopy for $25. And if you're a pastor, be sure you take notice of the sweet deal you can get your church on booking a concert...
If you’re a Christian and a patriot mourning this week over the unjust weights and balances of our nation’s highest law court, now’s a good time to remember there is one kingdom that will be left standing after all others fall.
Take comfort this Independence Day in the inevitable, the irrepressible, the inexorable, the indomitable, and the interminable rule of Christ promised us in Psalm 2 (versified for singing by some of our Clearnote musicians).
Christ the Word is hosting a concert tomorrow (Thursday 10/10/13). The group is Sons of Korah - an Australian-based project band committed to putting Psalms to music for believers to actually...get this...use them.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the door...and it's well worth a long drive. I received a call from a couple letting me know they're driving nearly 600 miles from Richmond, VA to come to the concert.
They don't shrink back from imprecatory Psalms, either. If you're interested or have a question, please contact me (Craig): soktoledo(at)gmail(dot)com, or call 567.455.7540.
