Our church is a reformed Presbyterian church. Our pastor is great. He expounds the Word of God so well. We follow the RPW, or Regulative Principle of Worship. We sing from the Psalter, but also from the Hymnal. Our minister goes through the Bible, a book at a time. Though it’s so thorough, for when in a service, you’ll be flipping the pages of your Old and New Testaments back and forth, here and there … learn alot this way!<\/p>\n
Some people don’t like the RPW. Well, they don’t go to our church where they can see how good it really is. High Church, I’ve been to those kind of services. I really, really like them … but they offer more emotional experience than true worship … I find that our church experience is much more theologically sound, now that we have the RPW as a form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
