Infinite Grace

Hi All,
For those who do not know, I used to go to a church that only sang the psalms without the accompaniment of instruments. It was their belief that this was the only authorized worship in the new covenant. They still believe so today. I am no longer in agreement with them.
However, I still love those psalms. We love to sing them at our home during family worship. I love to exegete the psalms in light of the new covenant, and God's infinite grace. I am trying to show my children that when it speaks of God's anger, it speaks of something that is temporary, something that is always pointed towards reconciliation and redemption.
I would encourage any here who enjoy a more classical flavor to their musical tastes to "taste and see that the Lord is good." I would encourage all here to visit the site I cite below and purchase psalm CDs for your listening and worship pleasure. They will soothe your soul.
Although my views of the singing of psalms as the only authorized worship has changed, my love for them is stronger than ever. I encourage all to listen, sing, and be edified.
The site is www.psalms4u.com. Click on the link "Psalms for listening" on the left side of the page. I believe there are samples for you to listen to. The best CD is "Psalms of Praise" found here: http://www.psalms4u.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=CM425&Category_Code=PL
A sample, which I encourage everyone to listen to, even if you don't intend to buy, is found here: http://www.psalms4u.com/assets/sound/cm425.mp3
I hope you all enjoy the sample, and decide to buy. It will cause your spirit to sour to the heavens - really.
