Sanctification... The Death Side.

"This is the will of God, your sanctification..." (1 Thessalonians 4:3)

In sanctification God has to deal with us on the death side as well as on the life side. Sanctification requires our coming to the place of death, but many of us spend so much time there that we become morbid. There is always a tremendous battle before sanctification is realised - something within us pushing the resentment against the demands of Christ. When the Holy Spirit begins to show us what sanctification means, the stuggle starts immediately. Jesus said,"If anyone comes to Me and does not hate... his own life... he cannot be My disciple" (Luke 14:26)

In the process of sanctification, the Spirit of God will strip me down until there is nothing left but myself, and that is the place of death. Am I willing to be myself and nothing more? Am I willing to have no friends, no father, no brother, and no self-interest - simply be ready for death? That is the condition required for sanctification. No wonder Jesus said,"I did not come to bring peace but a sword" (Matthew 10:34). This is when the battle comes, and where so many of us falter. We refuse to be identified with the death of Jesus Christ on this point. We say,"But this is so strict. Surely He does not require that of me." Our Lord is strict, and He does require that of us.

Am I willing to reduce myself down to simply "me"? Am I determined enough to strip myself of all that my friends think of me, and all that I think of myself? Am I willing and determined to hand over my simple naked self to God? Once I am, He will immediately sanctify me completely, and my life will be free from being determined and persistent toward anything except God. (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24).

When I pray,"Lord, show me what sanctification means for me," He will show me. It means beind made one with Jesus. Sanctification is not something Jesus puts in me - it is Himself in me ( see 1 Corinthians 1:30). - Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest".

Lord, lead me to the point where I can die to myself completely
Lead me to the point where I come face to face with my depraved, sinful self
Lead me to the point where I can't run anymore
Lead me to the point of death
The point where new life begins...

This lesson O Lord, is an extremly bitter pill to swallow, but I know you love me. All I can do... is surrender...

I offer devotion...

"For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
..."
(Psalm 51: 3-4)

Have mercy on me Lord, for your servant has taken his eyes of You this week. I'm sorry. I'm ashamed to say I've taken my eyes of Christ my Saviour, and even more ashamed of the things I have done as a result.

Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite. I really do. I tell and encourage people to focus on Christ in all they do, and I myself am guilty of not doing that. Lord, I don't want another moment without you being the centre. Forgive me Lord, for I have not sought a true realization of Christ in all I do. I need your grace and mercy.

"Have mercy on me , O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin!
......
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow"

This my prayer O God... that I may walk in your ways always.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me now way from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit
......
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
...
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God,
you will not depise."

I'm yours Lord... I'm yours

I'm delivered but it doesn't seem right, unless I keep my eyes focused on the Saviour who gave His life...

Mysterious Connect Retreat photos...

Ok I really don't know who was playing with my phone during the Connect retreat, but as I was looking at my phone, I realised I have MANY pictures which I didn't take, hear are some of them...


Derrick, Edward and Denise doing the Funky Chicken.


Nathan is my fwen. (i tried to straighten to photo, i promise!)


I suspect SHE took the photos.

This Is Love...

"EVERY RELATIONSHIP for a Christian is an opportunity to love another person like God has loved us. To lay down our desires and do what's in his or her best interest. To care for him or her even when there's nothing in it for us." (Josh Harris)

Friends, let us carefully consider our current friendships and relationships. How far are we from honouring God in our relationships and friendships? It's time for us to step up and surrender this area of our lives to the Lordship of Christ. Especially for the sinner writing this.

We've been too selfish, too long.

"A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another."
(John 13:34-35)

Mighty Is The Power Of the Cross

Ok for those of you who have been in the music ministry room, you might have seen this picture, among others, all over the walls. the pictures were done by ian last year for a worship mininstry thankgiving dinner. Here's mine. Sorry for the weird look on my face.

however, i like this picture for one reason and for one reason only. (and no it is not my sweaty shirt). i like how everything in the picture is really grainy and sorta fading away, EXCEPT FOR THE CROSS.

I see my my heart's desire in that picture: that my life be nothing about me but all about the MGHTY WORK OF MY SAVIOUR ON THE CROSS. may the old me fade into the shadows such that when one looks at me, all they see is Christ living His life through me.

Day by day, less of me Lord... and more and more of YOU.

Bible study...

Just came back from a new bible study class which Boon Cheang (the teacher) invited me to attend. This is additional to my regular class at BC's place with Debbie, Jiamin, Lifang, Ivan, Huiting, Ivan, Kenneth & Collin. I think BC actually wanted me to observe and learn from how he conducts bible study sessions. Well from my first session tonight, I'd say there's so much more to learn, not just from the conducting point of view, but especially from the Word of God. You can never have too much of the Word of God, so I'm really happy to have this additional opportunity to study His word.

But I think the greatest blessing of all with regard to being part of this bible study class is the people whom I'm attending it with. With the exception of Ivan, and to a much lesser extent Joel Pang & Kax, I can't say I know any of the people in this group well at all... which actually is quite sad in a sense since we're all part of the same church AND in THREE ministries together (for most): JYM, Connect & Worship.

How well do you know the people your churches and in your ministries whom you serve with? The people who are part of your spiritual family, your brothers and sisters in Christ. Do you know what's in their hearts? Do you know what makes each individual the way he or she is? I don't mean that EVERYONE has to be best friends (although that would be great), but do we make an effort to look beyond the surface of the people we meet once a week every Sunday (sometimes more)?

The church is not a social club. We were meant to be a fellowship of disciples, of believers. We ARE Christ's body. How can you be one body if one part doesn't know the other? I personally feel that if we seek (with the Holy Spirit's help) to look into the hearts of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and not just focus on a person's exterior actions/looks, we will understand why a person behaves the way he or she does. We will know what makes them tick. And imagine how many conflicts in the church could be avoided if the people involved looked beyond the surface in love, and sought to see, in light of the Spirit's illumination, what was in the other person's heart? Many times you'd find that they were actually on the same page. I too am guilty of passing judgement and jumping to conclusions, and have to repent and seek His forgiveness & grace on a daily basis.

Too many times in church we seem to stick within our comfort zones, our own cliques. The other people in church who are not "our gang", we just offer the standard pleasantries, smile a bit and that's it really. Is that what brings glory to the Father? Could someone be hurting and we miss it? Could someone be hurting and EVERYONE misses it? This has got to be one of the enemy's best weapons against the Body Of Christ: a church that's united in clumps, and even so probably only in terms of human relations and not in the spirit. Only because we failed to follow the example of Jesus who looked into the hearts of men, and saw what our heart and souls really needed. Let's start learning to serve each other rather than wondering what the church can do for us. Hey Christ has already done enough for you don't you think? Just respond and serve His body... (By the way, those whom we are "close" to, do we even know what's really in THEIR hearts?)

Ok... wow... I've drifted so much from wherever I was when I first started this post. But I'm not gonna delete it. Stuff like this has been on my heart for too long. Which is why I'm thanking God for the opportunity to really get to know other members of my spiritual family who I ashamedly do not really know. I just pray that my pride won't get in the way, that with a heart of humility and love I'll be able to seek how to better serve my fellow brothers and sisters, and foster stronger bonds in Christ.

Oh... and congratulations to you to if you've actually stuck around to the end of this post. I wonder if you think I'm mad... oh but I am.

Keep falling in love...

Every moment I'm awake
Fill me with the wonder of your glory
Captivate me with your beauty
Flood my heart with passion for YOU

All this, O Lord
That I may keep
Falling in love...

Hello hedge pee...

Random snap of my drab workspace. Haha, even though THE ORGANISATION and my work hours allows for us to work from home as and when the need arises (like every day?), I'm determined to spend more time in the office so I can actually build relationships with my colleagues.

I wanna do it! Haha... even if it means putting up with substandard coffee (I'll get my fix elsewhere). And of course watching an NCC member debate with a CEFC member about grace is quite a treat too, as I have discovered today.

Person A (NCC): blah blah blah... just rest in grace!

Person B(CEFC): I don't buy cheap grace!

Imagine...

It's here again guys. Start inviting all your friends! It's gonna be a magical night...

bleah...

So I've finally cut my hair after for the first time since Chinese New Year. Personally I wished he didn't cut so much of the length off. But anyhow what's done is done. Here's a sampling of the responses I got as I walked around church yesterday & today:

Claud: Ahhhh! (yes she that was her first reaction) ....Ugly!
Jeremy Yap: *sniggers* nice hair...
Rachel Tang: you like a small boy...
Gloria Teng: it's nice... (Gloria is my friend!)
Henry Yew: it's ok what... it'll grow out (so considerate, what a nice guy)
Nadine: it would have been better if you didn't cut it...
Nat (he's 12): eh your hair very funny/eh your hair very ugly... x 10

ok that's enough, I don't wanna remember any other comments anymore. my heart cannot take it.

Now, I need to find a nice cap... or maybe a wig.

What would you give your life for?

Hosea's Wife (by Brooke Fraser)
=============================

I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to mine and asked belligerently
"What do I live for?"

I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
There's a question like a shame no one will show
"What do I live for?"

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and words like knives

[CHORUS]
If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

There is truth in little corners of our lives
There are hints of it in songs and children's eyes
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
What do I live for?

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using bodies like money and truth like lies

[CHORUS]
If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

[Bridge]
We are more than dust
That means something
That means something
We are more than just
Blood and emotions
Inklings and notions
Atoms on oceans

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using bodies like money and truth like lies

[CHORUS]
If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

Connect, Friday 29 June '07

Thank God for the people who attended tonight, for the time of praise & worship, and for the great message from Ps Timothy. Now it's time to put the Word of God into action!

Here's a pic of David & Junxu leading us in worship. Thanks guys!

My Cuppa...

Haha... ok I just realised you can see me taking the photo on my sunglasses. But anyway, everyone please meet my favourite drink of all time, the humble Cafe Latte. For the most part, I really never drink any other drink when I go to a coffee joint (save for the occasional Cafe Mocha nowhipaddfoam, which is basically a Mocha Latte).

My only gripe is that lattes in Singapore aren't the cheapest drinks in town. But I still drink at least 2 cups a week (the rest of the days I drink kopi siu dai, which I kinda like too).

Guess Who?

First up, since Ivan themandude Chan has linked me on his blog (which is like JYM blog central), I better watch what I say here. Haha.

Ok anyway, let's play a game, as a result of Ivan sharing my blog on his, I had this sms conversation with someone last night, let's call him/her Person X.

Person X: Oh my gosh! I am at your blog now. And guess what! Worthy To Be Praised your blog song is one of my favourite. New Creation?! love the guitar parts there...

Me: Did you message the wrong person?

Person X: Oh Crap! Oh my gosh! Crap! Mistake. Stupid mistake. You will laugh like mad when you hear it. My fault. My mistake. I am so stupid! Haha.

Me: Ok so what did you do this time? Haha...... But then my blog has no music. Haha

Person X: Ya lor! just so happened i went to your blog, then i forgot i left the windows media player running. So the next random song which played was Worthy To Be Praised by New Creation Church, i must say it's a lovely song. So i thought music come from your blog! Then when i closed your blog window, the music was still playing. That was when it was not from your bog. By that time your message came in, And i was already feeling so dumb! Crap!

Me: ......

Can you guess who Person X is?

It's late... and I feel like posting something random.

This is my nephew, Shaun Parson. He's half ang-moh as you can see, hence he's onethousandmilliontrilliongamamazillion times more hamsum than me. His dad's Aussie, and they just moved back to Singapore from Sydney last year (while i love my family, i don't count that as one of their smartest decisions. Haha... cos I love Sydney!)

The photo was taken at his birthday party (he turned ONE... wheee, and he got his first taste of chicken wing, much to the horror of his mum, my cousin), which was quite some time back. (my lack of a helmethead of rubbish hair is a dead giveaway to the date of this photo).

While I hate this photo cos it makes me look fat (who ask my nephew so slim and hamsum?), I'm posting it cos I think he's how cute (pseudo yoga pose notwithstanding). And more importantly, I want to take him to SPK! To any possible non-St James' people reading this, SPK stands for "Super Power Kids", which is our children's church programme on Sunday afternoons (which REALLY REALLY ROCKS by the way).

Ok I know I'm planning for all this like 4 years too early, but I've devised this super cool plan lah:

I bring Shaun to SPK, he has loads of fun. I invite his parents, my parents and his grandparents, and basically every single relative who thinks he's cute and would go to insane lengths to see him play and look cute (yes there are people like that) ALL to SPK. And "marimarihom!" (please visit Ivan's blog for details), you have ALMOST the entire set of Glenn's paternal relatives (plus his own parents!) in church! And then through the love and friendship which WILL be extended to them by the lovely people of St James' Church, they'll come to experience the love of Christ first hand and subsequently accept Him as their Lord and Saviour!

Ok that's just one of the many "plans" I've come up with whenever I think about how to reach out to my family. I've gotta of course take all these "plans" to God and really ask Him for wisdom as to what to do. I don't really wanna wait 4 years to bring them to church when I can actually take the church (me being the representative of Christ) TO THEM.

So the point of this whole post really is: pray for me and my family as I seek to reach out to them! Hey you might just have one superextremelyinsanely cute little "chup cheng" boy to play with in the near future!

Revelation 3: Transformation

Ok so here we go... Revelation 3: Transformation the EVENT has ended. But the PROCESS has just begun. I'm still in the midst looking back at my own personal journey leading up to Revelation 3 together with God, to really gain some clarity, with the help of His Holy Spirit, on what He Himself has revealed to me, with the loving desire to ultimately transform me to reflect more of His glory. Rest assured that once the time is right (or The Time Has Come... heh), I'll share it with everyone here as well.

My own involvement in the Revelation series of worship events began with the first one back in August 2005, where I was a vocalist on the team. That, being the very first one, was birthed out a renewed passion for God that was taking place in JYM at the time. I still remember how God was moving Sunday after Sunday, the music was sometimes raw, but nobody cared. It was just so awesome to just see God working, youths on their knees, tears falling, crying out, repenting, re-dedications being made... Just so powerful.

The 2nd Revelation event was held at the start of 2006, and Ivan and myself had the privilege of leading worship for that one. Also an awesome experience. And finally, the recently concluded Revelation 3, I was co-leading for set 2 with Kaixin. This latest Revelation saw Claudia and Kaixin at the helm of things with good ol' Ivan and myself assisting them.

All in all, 3 events with very different experiences for each. But each one in its own unique way was a tremendous blessing to me from the Father Himself.

Ok so back to Revelation 3. Ok honestly EVERYONE involved did a fantastic job in really coming together as one to put up this event. What a committed and dedicated bunch of youth we have. Ok I don't believe I am doing this, but... err shout-outs:

Claud - Looney that she is, but she really came through good for this one. With God's help she saw the event through from start to finish. What began in Ps Henry's office one day as a stationery hunt (she forgot about the stationery but came out with the daunting task of putting the entire event together), culminated in an awesome night of praise and worship of the King of Kings on the 23rd of June 2007.

Am proud of you Claud (even though you knock my cardigan and pointy shoes!), it was a pleasure being able to work with you for His Glory. And I'd do it again! (but this time you better know where Tel Aviv is). May you continue to grow in spiritual maturity as a worshipper and disciple of the LORD. Also, I humbly apologise for my nagginess at times in preparation for the event. I know I tend to do that at times.

Kax - What can I say, my co-worship leader. It was an honour and a blessing. Of all the people involved in Revelation 3, I somehow sense you've grown the most from the entire experience. There was a newfound confidence (in the Spirit) which I noticed on Saturday night. From the way you prayed, to the way you led the people in worship, undeniably, a Transformation has taken place. Praise God for that. What an encouragement it has been working with you!

I'm looking forward to more opportunities where we can partner together to lead the youth into worship. And I pray that the transformation He has begun in you by His Spirit will continue as you seek His face each day, that you may be transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory.

"The LORD your God is with you,

He is mighty to save.

He will take great delight in you,

He will quiet you with his love,

He will rejoice over you with singing."(Zephaniah 3:17)

Ivan - As usual, you're the man dude. It's always been a pleasure serving with you. Keep up the faithful service for the Lord. Your desire to give your utmost for His highest is a constant encouragement to me. Let's continue to spur one another in the work for His Glory.

Singers - You guys and girls were amazing, every single one of you. Joanne and Janelle, I'd really love to hear so much more of your voices during JYM. Beautiful. Kaimin, good to have to you join us on vocals too! You've got that heart of worship no doubt. Junxu, thanks for coming through with the male harmony parts for us. It really added to the vocals. And also, thank you for your heart to really pursue excellence.

Band - To the younger musicians in the band, really really great job! Really blessed to see the younger ones (i of all people can use the term "younger ones" without fear) giving back to God with the talents He's blessed them with. Overall, the music for both sets, what can I say but give praise to God for blessing us with such an awesome set of musicians who can not just play great music, but can worship Him with the talents He's given them. Continue to give back to Him what He's blessed you with, and see Him take your offering of worship and multiply it for His glory.

Collin - Mr Grumpy. Colliflower. The one and only Walzy himself. In 3 days you came up with the opening visuals. Never once did you complain (oh maybe except that one time to me... haha... but that's ok cos that's just the way Mr Grumpy talks). It's your transformation these past 3 years that's really shown me how BIG my God is. Thanks for really being there and helping to keep me sane at times. Your partnership in Connect and the Worship Ministry is much much valued.

David - I hope Revelation 3 was a good birthday gift to you. Thanks so much for all the help with the band. And especially your patience with me during practices when I sometimes (ok fine... many times) fumbled. Also, your little personalised notes of encouragement to every member of the team just before the event started was really a God-send. Thank you David. Thank God for you.

PA crew - Derrick, Amos, Joshua, Darren, Wilson. Your commitment and dedication was really examplary. Being there every single practice, doing the lyrics, lights, everything... Thank You. Much thanks to Jesse who was there on Wednesday and Saturday itself too!

Dancers - I've always felt that dance can be such a powerful expression of worship, and all of you really captured that so beautifully this Revelation 3. And like Ivan's said in his much better written version of THE REVELATION POST, it's really a great joy to finally have dancers for Revelation. The dance for At The Foot of the Cross really blew me away. I know people at the back too were blessed by that offering of worship unto Him.

And lastly to Caleb and the logistics gang, and Joyce and the ushers, thank you so much for playing the roles you did. It's always such a great experience when the Body of Christ comes together united as one. I like the stage set this year. Oh and how can I forget the really nifty signs the ushers were wearing? Haha

Ok that takes me to the end of this post-Revelation ramble. I'm sure there's more to come. =) Thank you Lord for blessing me with such an awesome opportunity to serve you.

I will reach out just the same...

Ok i've been wanting to share this with people for the longest time. Brooke's awesome we already know that, but I think what makes her even more awesome, is (not her extremely beautiful outer appearance, though if anyone has anything to say about that you have to deal with ME first!), is her heart for the Father, and His annointing which is so clearly upon her.

Faithful (by Brooke Fraser)
========================
There's distance in the air
And I cannot make it leave
I wave my arms `round about me
And blow with all my might

I cannot sense you close
Though I know you're always here
But the comfort of you near
Is what I long for

CHORUS
When I can't feel you
I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you
I know you still hear every word I pray
And I want you
More than I want to live another day
And as I wait for you
Maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past
Though I know it is undone
I still feel the guilty one
Still trying to make it right

So I whisper soft your name
And let it roll around my tongue
Knowing you're the only one who knows me
You know me

CHORUS
When I can't feel you
I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you
I know you still hear every word I pray
And I want you
More than I want to live another day
And as I wait for you
Maybe I'm made more faithful

Bridge
Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me
You are all I want
You are all I want

Son of man, can these bones live?

Ok I've decided to resurrect this blog... or at least try to.

God's really moving, in my life, in church... in so many different areas. And I would love to be able to tell everyone... all my friends, people I have yet to meet, and especially people I may never meet, about the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord. That's really the motivating factor for wanting to try and re-start this blog all over again. I want to be able to document all the awesome things my God is doing in and around me, to really share the love of Christ with everyone, with those who would take the time to have a look.

As I walk this road God's been leading me on over the years, He's brought so many many wonderful people into my life. Fellow sojourners in this temporary existance, to encourage one another, to bless one another, to partner in the great work for His glory. Sometimes they move on, sometimes they drift away, sometimes they get called to take on another assignments, and sometimes even I have to move on to the next stage He's called me to. We may be physically apart, but we'll forever be united by His Spirit in His family. Those of you who I don't see so often, I miss you and I wish I could have all the time in the world to meet up with all of you frequently to just tell of all the amazing things He's been doing and continues to do. But of course I can't... and this blog is expecially for all of you.

A journal of my journeys with the Lord... about my life, with Him. I promise to be as real as possible. No fluff, no fancy stuff, everything just as it is...

Of course being real, I will also talk about my struggles, my failures, my shame (I hope). It won't always be the Good Life. But through all that, I pray for one thing to remain true, that the Lord's faithfulness and grace shine through.

"I will boast in the Lord my God
I will boast in the One Who's worthy
I will boast in the Lord my God
I will boast in the One Who's worthy, He's worthy

I will make my boast in Christ alone" (Paul Baloche)

Missions? Worship?

"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is." (John Piper)

At first glance, this statement doesn't seem quite right. But what would you say taking it from THIS perspective:

Ephesians 1:12 (NLT) reads,"God's purpose was that we who wre the first to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God."
First, there was worship... in Heaven, in the Garden, in a people, in a nation. God's purpose for humanity is that we may know Him and responsd with love, adoration and honour - worship. John Stott said,"Worship is the highest and most noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable."

Jesus Christ came in response to our need for a Saviour. He built a Church, a body of people to make God known - missions. He called His followers to action, action from a place of worship and action as worship. He ignited hearts with passion for God. So stirred were they that their worship of God overflowed and an intense desire was ignited to see others connected to God.

"Then Jesus came to them and said: All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

Our mission, fulled by worship, is responding to God's greatest love - people - and calling everyone to worship their Creator.

When the world fades, missions will cease to exist. Where there once was, there will be no more. All that will remain will be that which was there from the beginning... worship.

Revelation 7:9-12 (MSG) says,"I looked again, I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there - all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were heartily singing: Salvation to our God on His Throne! Salvation to the Lamb! All who were standing around the Throne - angels, elders, animals - fell on their faces before the Throne and worshipped God..."

God-worship can energise us in missions and God-worship is the purpose of missions. Our mission is to make disciples of all people throughout the world which means we need to see this world changed...people turned to Jesus, both at home and overseas, whether it be your neighbour, work colleague, the orphan or the widow.

Worship releases grace to do the temporal mission, so that EVERYONE can worship God eternally.

Pretty interesting stuff from Reuben Morgan. But answer this: What then, is true Worship?

There's so much to be said about true worship, but one thing I know, it begins with this: A heart humbly bowed before the King of Kings, with the desire to surrender it all to Him.

Post #2

Well this will be like my second post on this blog since I started it almost a year ago. I don't know why I'm revisiting this whole blogging thing when it never ever really seemed to take off with me.

But something in me just wanted to give this another shot. So here I am... I'll try out again, one last time. We'll see how it turns out.
