Don Kistler, A Spectacle Unto God: The Life and Death of Christopher Love, p. 90: Quote: |
Christopher Love was a Covenanter. One of the things that makes them unique is their commitment to exclusive psalmnody, and their strict keeping of the Sabbath. In other words, covenanters will sing only the divinely-inspired psalms of Scripture in their worship services, and they sing them without musical accompaniment. Since God wrote the psalms, they reason, why sing hymns written by fallible men?
| For a while, the tag line on my signature here was a quote from Christopher Love's speech uttered while on the scaffold ( ibid, p. 120): Quote: |
I would rather die a covenant keeper than live a covenant breaker.
