 Somewhere in the last hundred years, the traditional practice of resetting hymn texts to contemporary melodies has been lost. Moldering hymn texts lie dormant from disuse, but not because of any loss of relevancy or meaningful content. On the contrary, the practice of historical hymnody has become tarnished simply from neglect.

In a postmodern context, the concept of blended worship has developed, largely referring to a style of music that alternates traditional hymn tunes and texts with praise songs or choruses; however, the attempt to balance the ratio of hymns to choruses often creates discord and divisive heart attitudes among those passionate about worship.

Far Beyond Rescue is a new project with an old goal: to unite the hearts and voices of believers across the globe. The term blended worship is being redefined as a middle ground where the rich texts of ancient theology are carried by relevant melodies and sounds. The project's goal is to challenge worshipers to examine our hearts and to graciously worship in unity of purpose—
the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I did not expect to be offered employment, and as a matter of fact, I had actually planned on such a contingency, so as not to be disappointed. Thus far, I had chosen to disregard the Savior's provision and lovingkindness in favor of another attempt at control. Having not interviewed for several years, my skills were quite rusty. Thankfully, the hiring manager was not overly seasoned, and God brought me favor during the interview process. In what seemed like a dizzying blur, the int

Keep it to Yourself

Once upon a time, I heard that if I didn't have anything nice to say, then I shouldn't say anything at all. It seemed logical enough. I certainly appreciated, I thought, living in a realm of silence rather than negativity. What I couldn't see, however, was the seeping, wispy black cloud sneaking steadily through a crack in the door. I bought into the idea and it allowed a slow yet constant stream of grossness to flow into my space. With silent darkness as their incubator, the lies began to take shape and grow. Though their development was subtle, there were several points along the way when I was startled by the inundation. Spores gave way to ground cover, which gave way to small foliage, which eventually became a forest so thick that I could barely distinguish what was right in front of me. The problem, you see, was not that I wasn't saying anything nice. Rather, it was that I had become confused as to what nice was. That word had gotten thrown into a tumultuous sp
