B. Sentiment
The older we get the harder it is for us to change. There is security in stability. There is a whole chapter in Proverbs that tells us how difficult getting older can be.
C. Emotional
Those of us who are older have been ministered to by those great old hymns. We are moved to Jesus Christ by the Old Rugged Cross. There came passion and warmth that helped us get through those difficult times.
D. Theological
Most of us learned our biblical theology through those hymns. Before John MacArthur and Chuc ...
