Wow! This rendition by Mahalia Jackson literally gave me goosebumps. If this doesn’t pump you up, send for an ambulance.
Onward, Christian Soldiers, sung like you wouldn’t believe by Mahalia Jackson. Go for it!

‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’
The first time I tried to post this, I got a spirited rendition of Turkey in the Straw. It’s been that kind of day.
Ah, there it is–Onward, Christian Soldiers, performed by the kids at Fountainview Academy. Without a turkey.
‘Christ Shall Have Dominion’
“ElderMike” inspired me with a comment late last night–yes, let’s celebrate Christ’s victory! Especially now–we especially need to do it now.
Christ Shall Have Dominion and Onward, Christian Soldiers share the same melody by Arthur Sullivan, of Gilbert & Sullivan fame.
I wish I had friends to sing hymns with. Wherever two or three are gathered in Christ’s name… He’s there, too.
Chalcedon Marches On
The Sanctuary Choir at First Methodist Church, Houston
You can’t always see what a ministry is doing; and sometimes what a minister of the gospel does will take years to show up on the radar.
In “Rushdoony’s Future Impact,” Mark Rushdoony predicts R.J. Rushdoony’s impact on the church and on the culture will only grow more telling–“because he addresses issues which the church has refused to address, but will be forced to at some point.”

Many readers of Rushdoony’s works show surprise when they learn the book was first published in the 1960s or 70s, yet seems still more applicable two decades into the 21st century (Rushdoony died in 2001). No one even had a keener insight into church and culture: you’d almost swear he had a crystal ball.
So Chalcedon’s mission includes keeping Rushdoony’s books in print–after all, some of these fields have yet to yield their fruit.
Reader Input Wanted: Can you think of any pressing issues which the church in America has ducked so far, but will some day have to be addressed?
‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’
Flatline waffy-daffy churches really don’t like this hymn at all–but the rest of us love it: Onward, Christian Soldiers, performed here by the students at Fountainview Academy. With a piano in the middle of the woods, no less.
By Request, ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’
Requested by Erlene–Onward, Christian Soldiers, sung by the Sanctuary Choir at the First Methodist Church, Houston.
Libs hate this hymn! They don’t want to hear that we’re at war. But war it is, and here’s what St. Paul had to say about it (Ephesians 6: 10-17).
Our warfare is ultimately not against flesh and blood, but forces of spiritual evil.
We wear as armor the truth, and righteousness, and the gospel of peace.
Our helmet is salvation, and our weapon is the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.
With the shield of faith we extinguish the fiery darts of the wicked.
And we pray unceasingly.
This war is fought out in this fallen world every day and every night; and “go along to get along” is not the way to win it.
‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’ (Ernie Ford)
Self-styled “liberal Christians” don’t like this hymn and have been trying to weed it out of the liturgy. Well, they don’t like me, either.
Onward, Christians Soldiers–sung with gusto by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Wake up, O church!
Bonus Hymn: ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’
This is the hymn that comes to my mind this afternoon. We are in an evil age and we need more Christian soldiers.
Our sword is the sword of the spirit, and the word of God; our shield, the shield of faith. We wear the breastplate of righteousness, and the helmet of salvation (Ephesians 6: 10-18). And our ammunition is our prayers.
We have no king but Jesus Christ.
Onward, Christian Soldiers–performed by the students at Fountainview Academy.
‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’

By Request, ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’
Phoebe requested this, and it’s much appreciated–Onward, Christian Soldiers, performed by the students at Fountainview Academy. Turn up the volume! The devil just positively hates this hymn! And so do all his little playmates here on earth.
