i found out....

i found out that my blog is 'dead'
never really care to update it...
hahaha...

but there is something i want to share...
today there a talk about "Principle of Worship" in my church...
usually i won't type down what happen in church...
but this talk really teach me
and reminds me that worship is about God...

1st principle- worship is only for the glory of God...
we often shared our worship with the idols in our heart...
-idol of self and idol of worship...
(on self)God created man...he created this world...
and man create things that represent God in our life...
which in other word is....
man is turning themselves into God...
(on worship)do we worship God because he is God
or worship because of the music...the song is nice??
worship leaders are not the one who is performing....
but someone who lead the congregation that He is worthy
the congregation are not the audience...God is...
We do it for God...not for man....
we don't have to care what people think...
is the heart of worship that God see in us....

2nd,involve expectancy and preparation....
(1 sam 3:9-10 ; john 16:12)
our heart need to be prepare before the Lord...
how often we prepare our hearts before the Lord?
are we listening to God's calling??
are w obeying His word...

3rd,worship involve sacrifice..
(1chron 21:23-24)
sacrifice ourselves to God,our soul ,mind and heart
sacrifice our time for Him...knowing that he is the Lord
(first 5 books of the bible-sacrifice and offerings)

lastly,it is depend on our own feelings...
(job 1:20 ; Isiah 61:3 ; Hebrew 13:15)
our emotion will always change...
but the Lord is 1...
He will never change...
we worship..
because we want to be
rooted into awareness of who God is...
not just what that will make us feel good...
it it also the validity...
of something is not determined
by how we feel bout it....

other than today's message...
i got another good news...
i have finally join back Chinese choir....
but...
for the Lord...
not for man...
