I am scheduled to leave today for Romania where I will be visiting with a young pastor friend and preaching in the church he serves in Cluj. While I am away, Dr. Ken Puls will be posting some of his insights on worship. Ken is the Director of the Founders Study Center and Publications for Founders Ministries. He also serves with me at Grace Baptist Church as a fellow elder and directs our music ministries. He earned a PhD in church music from Southwestern Seminary and has taught at Dallas Baptist University, Baylor University and Southwestern. He is one of the most theologically astute musicians I know and has been a valuable conversation partner on the glorious subject of worship. He is preparing for a teaching opportunity in Israel later this year where he has the assignment of helping Jewish believers address issues of new covenant worship and music. Your feedback will help him work through material that he is preparing for those studies.

If the Lord wills, I will return next week and will post a report on my trip. Thanks for your prayers.
