3. God’s Word informs, directs and permeates all we do.
We will be careful to engage God (worship him) only in ways he has prescribed in his Word and only by means he has provided. This means that the content of God's Word should be woven through all we do in worship and will be the ground of all our appeal to authority. Hence the content of our singing, praying, preaching and all else we do should always conform to the truth of Scripture. We therefore shun ambiguity in our songs and speech. Our words must be clear and doctrinally sound.

This we sometimes call the "regulative principle" for the church -- its worship, doctrine and government. Not only must we keep from innovating forms of worship God has not commanded, we must be sure that our worship is Word-saturated. Far more important than the style of our music is the word-content of our singing.
