Passion for Praise: 'Outsiders and Insiders, Rejoice Together!'

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

Just think of all the Scriptures that will come true in what we do! For instance: Then I'll join outsiders in a hymn-sing; I'll sing to your name! And this one: Outsiders and insiders, rejoice together! And again: People of all nations, celebrate God! All colors and races, give hearty praise!
— Romans 15:10-11 MSG
