Church’s One Foundation

Worship this morning at the NEXT Conference was wonderful, and not only because my good friend Brian Ellison preached one heck of a sermon. We also sang two hymns I love.

I recognize not everyone gets excited by good hymns, sung well, in the midst of people one loves. But I sure do.

The hymn that choked me up, however, was “The Church’s One Foundation”.

Today was a sacred day for that particular hymn, because possibly tonight, but certainly in the coming days, the 86th “yes” vote by a presbytery…
