However, I am wondering if anyone could provide me with a link or with more information on the article that David Gordon wrote which Darryl Hart mentioned several times. Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for the interview. Often (in RPCNA circles) this discussion turns into exclusive psalmody or whether or not there should be instruments. I appreciate Darryl’s emphasis on the major elements of worship. Song can sometimes be pedagogical and thus not prayer but declaration of Biblical truth, so in terms of the dialog it could be considered God’s speech.

I always enjoy hearing from Dr. Hart. I do have a question regarding extemporaneous prayer and the your collective thoughts on the relation of a practice to the regulative principle. My church has a practice where congregants are, occasionally, asked to give short-sentence prayers on a specific topic (thanking God for the Trinity on Trinity Sunday, or some such). Dr. Hart spoke a bit on his wariness of too much uncontrolled spontaneity, which I agree with, but I am of the opinion that this practice is a helpful way to include at least relatively spontaneous contributions in the service from the laity. So, my question is, does this skirt the bounds of the regulative principle as understood historically, or would you say it is a gray area? Thanks.
