I have been challenged that I have not asked the above question to people. May I assure you I have to as many as 10-15 face to face. I will grant the obvious in that those I asked are not EP and many are reformed PCAers and OPCers. Also this does not include various posts on FB and other forums which is probably read by all of my immediate family and friends. The context of my question usually comes up with a discussion on the RPW and it is a natural for this inquiry to come up. The closest answer I have received is the “shake the head your crazy look” or the realization that the point stands about the uninspired hymn preference being king.
So for those here on the PB my challenge is to give me a good answer to why you rather sing hymns over psalms. I understand many will say that is what the leadership of the church chose and they trust their judgment. Though even if you trust the judgment of the leadership the question remains as follows…Would you rather sing a hymn they chose or a psalm instead?
PS. I ask this with as little rancor as possible from this sinner.
