"No, we don’t need livelier music, cute quips and perpetual cheerleading to convince our people to 'sing out on the second verse.'”

Chris Anderson asks if we are worshipping God or worshipping worship?
As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
Note: Dr. Richard V. Clearwaters was pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church in Minneapolis from 1940-1981. He led the Minnesota Baptist Convention out of the Northern Baptist Convention and convened the first section of the Conservative Baptist Association. During those years, he also founded Pillsbury Baptist Bible College and Central Baptist Theological Seminary. This article is from his autobiography, On the Upward Road. We believe it was originally written in the 1960s or 1970s. It is reprinted here with permission.
