Every Pastor, Layperson, and Human Being should read Carl Trueman's article on why making the Psalms a regular part of Lord's Day worship is necessary, let alone beneficial, for the Spiritual health of the congregation you are a part of each week. ?What Can Miserable Christians Sing??

We are also a Baptist church that sings the Psalms.

This does represent a serious advance over the Fundamental Baptist churches of my youth. The only psalm we ever sang was "As the Deer."

While it is not a metered Psalm, it is based on a Psalm, as are many of the older hymns that I sang in the Baptist church.
