Music Rhythm (5 of 9)
Series: Rhythm
Steve Jones
Ephesians 5:18-20
SERIES SUMMARY: We all want to live an abundant life and a holy life but sometimes we struggle. To struggle less we must stay in “rhythm” with the Holy Spirit. This series is about how to stay in “rhythm” with the Holy Spirit by practicing what are traditionally known as the spiritual disciplines.

The kind of singing we’re talking about is not the singing you hear coming out of the bar at 2am. We’re not talking about ‘‘99 bottles of beer on the wall.’’ Being filled with the Spirit is the perfect opposite from getting drunk with wine and that’s the way the two are positioned here. 1) They are alternatives which people choose in trying to find a way to cope in ‘‘these EVIL days.’’ 2) They have a profound, but opposite, effect ...
