Although we will never have perfect worship, we should aim to the lofty goal of glorifying God. Hear five standards for our worship music and see how they should show doctrinal development as the psalms do.

God’s Powerful Promises Book in Ukraine
The following short video gives you a glimpse of a church in Ukraine where one of our contacts by the name of Vasya has distributed hundreds of our God's Powerful Promises booklet. Many of these people don't have Bibles, so this is a welcome provision for them.
Dean Bible Ministries has been printing thousands of these booklets in Ukraine in their language ever since the war broke out. Faithful people, like Vasya, have been driving them to locations such as this. This church is located in the town of Kramatorsk which is 15 miles from the war's front lines. Please be in prayer for these people.

Dr. Dean and Jim Myers in Romania
