Chris Butler writes today about how more Americans should cherish "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and so we asked our editorial staff for their favorite underappreciated hymns: |
|
Senior staff writer Emily Belz: Bishop Clarence E. McClendon’s rendition of "There Is a Fountain" is one of my all-time favorite worship songs and a beautiful update to a classic hymn. It’s very singable for a congregation. A total hit from the year 2000! |
|
Black church editor Haleluya Hadero: One of my favorite gospel songs is "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins Singers. The arrangement was based on a hymn by an 18th-century pastor named Philip Doddridge. In the ’60s, singer Edwin Hawkins took the hymn and turned it into a gospel song. It was appreciated in its time, but we don’t play it much anymore. I think we should. |
|
International editor Angela Lu Fulton: "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross" has a special place in my heart, as I remember singing that hymn in Mandarin with hundreds of Christians from China soon after the government tore down more than a thousand crosses from churches in Zhejiang province. Over and over they passionately sang the chorus, at times with tears in their eyes: "In the cross, in the cross / Be my glory forever / Till my ransomed soul shall find / Rest beyond the river." |

Have you ever wanted to give more than your dollars? GFoundation offers a way to provide practical help to vulnerable communities. Through practical support for women’s shelters, single mothers, refugee families, and seniors living alone, they provide tangible resources that truly help. |

GFoundation collects unused daily living supplies, essentials for women, babies, and children, and more, distributing these donated goods directly to shelters, welfare facilities, and partner institutions — or selling them through their local charity shop in New Jersey to further support community programs.

With women-led Christian leadership at the helm, GFoundation is committed to restoring dignity, comfort, and hope to neighbors who need it most. |

When Jesus taught, he used parables. The kingdom of God is like yeast, a net, a pearl. Then and today, to grasp wisdom and spiritual insight, we need the concrete. We need stories. In this issue of Christianity Today, we focus on testimony—the stories we tell, hear, and proclaim about God’s redemptive work in the world. Testimony is a personal application of the Good News. You’ll read Marvin Olasky’s testimony from Communism to Christ, Jen Wilkin’s call to biblical literacy, and a profile on the friendship between theologian Miroslav Volf and poet Christian Wiman. In an essay on pickleball, David Zahl reminds us that play is also a testament to God’s grace. As you read, we hope you’ll apply the truths of the gospel in your own life, church, and neighborhood. May your life be a testimony to the reality of God’s kingdom. |
