There are a lot of options on the table when it comes to how Christians live in the world. Some Christians look just like the world. Others have created a Christian subculture, living a parallel life, like the world, but a Christian version of it. Some Christians avoid the culture at all costs. Others seek to dominate it. Thankfully Scripture is not silent on how we relate to the world around us....

But in a field nearby where shepherds were watching their sheep, angels appeared with a proclamation and a song: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14, ESV)....

There is a song for every occasion. Happy songs, sad songs, songs that make you depressed and songs that pick you up, love songs and breakup songs, victory songs, celebration songs, redemption songs, and funeral songs. We all want something to sing about, and when great things happen there is something within us that just can’t not sing. Through the song of Zechariah (Luke 1:67–79), we see that Je...
