We attended another church this morning while out of town. At our home church we do not sit in pews or sing from hymnals. This church, in Hershey PA, actually meets in a typical sanctuary type room with pews. Since they have pews they also have something called pew racks. It struck me as ironic that there were two hymnals to every one Bible in the pew rack. Honestly I think this is probably because there is an assumption that most people have and bring their own Bible to church with them. After admitting that, I could not help but think it was indicative of the importance that some modern Protestant churches put on music vs. Scripture. It seems we talk, spend, and extend twice as much energy on music than on Scripture.
