The Common doxology... Words of glory!!

12/1/2024

The church we attend lately does some things we really like during worship: a seriousness related to the truths of the message each Sunday, hymns which speak to and undergird those truths and the finishing of the service with our arms raised, palms up and the singing of that which is known as the Common Doxology. This particular doxology was written by Thomas Ken in 1674 and the lyrics are:

"Praise God, from Whom all Blessings Flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen!

Known as Words of Glory, singing a doxology at the end of a service is a great reminder as we finish and we are sent off into the world again. I love the doxological expression of Paul in Romans 11 and I especially like the benedictions of Hebrews 13 and Jude 24.

Here in this article from Grace to You Blog we are encouraged to focus our attention and thankfulness to God for His many blessings. The Common Doxology is one that helps us with our mindset.

Blessings!

This is the ministry blog of Robert Thomas Clark, It is designed to be a repository of inspiring, impactful & influential posts on biblical truth, themes and concepts, which brings insights and initiates inquisitiveness!.

I believe as the guys on "One-Minute Apologist" that we should be ready to provide "credible answers to curious questions".

I also believe in the inerrancy of God's Word as it is trustworthy and verifiable and tied to God's character of truthful. Baucham has stated, "I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and they claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin"

I desire nothing more than to exalt Christ and to lead and equip others for ministry in exegetical method and expository preaching and following hard after Christ, even as I serve alongside many of them!.

Life Verse: “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
--- Colossians 3:17

Inspirational Quotes:
“There is no aspect of life but that the gospel has something to say about it. The whole of life must come under its influence because it is all-inclusive; the gospel is meant to govern and control everything in our lives… We must realize the greatness of the gospel, its vast eternal span. We must dwell more on the riches, and in the riches, of these great doctrinal absolutes.”
-- Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"The Bible.
Know it in your head.
Stow it in your heart.
Show it your life.
Sow it in the world."
-- Dr. J. Vernon McGee
