An interesting list of do’s and don’ts for worship writers. For example:

Top Fives: Worship Albums
I’ve been going through some of my music, finding some things I’d long forgotten and others I’ve long loved. The 2000 Delirious? Album “Glo” was one of those albums Ive long loved, and it got me thinking about worship albums that were “game-changers” so to speak- the ones that both bring you back and bring you in- into that deep awareness of the nearness...
