The Return of Vertical Songs in Church
The Return of Vertical Songs in Church - Chris Clayton
A Worship Pastor must be mindful of having great theology and doctrine with the longs they choose to lead the local church with. It’s not just a matter of 4 or 5 songs on any given Sunday, but rather how people are being pastored with the music all throughout the week in their walk with Christ.
The Church is returning to a state of singing more often vertical songs, meaning songs that point directly to God and ascribe worth to Him vs potentially singing about one another. The songs that lift the name of Jesus high are the ones that will win and last for hundreds of years.

Let It Go And Open Your Hands
We have got to let things go and open our hands before God to ask Him what He wants us to do each day. When we continue to open our hands, it takes the pressure off of ourselves and allows us to freely move forward.

Bible And Community Is Crucial
Bible And Community Is Crucial
We are more isolated and don’t really know what the Bible says more so than ever before. Sometimes it feels intimidating to even know what to do or where to start. Take a simple step to open up the Bible to Genesis or John and just start reading and ask your local church about a small group and just show up. Take things one step at a time but take the first step. It’s worth it and crucial.

One Step At A Time
Life throws a lot at us. We can go from one thing to the next and easily find ourselves overwhelmed and worry so much about the future. God says He will establish our steps. Slow down, take a breath, take things one day at a time - one step at a time. Trust The Lord in the process and experience Him slowly guide you along the way.
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
