Doesn't matter dy that no one reads it, it helps me so its good enough for me.
My stomach ache really la.... Went to the toilet oso still not enough.
I'll pray, it always works.
So today was the first night of workshop at church.
Paradise Band held the worship, they're having their concert tml night.
(I have a habit for using the word so, which is not good in writing)
Pastor Mark preached after the worship and before the workshop started.
He preached on 3 things.
- Having Compassion for God
- Having Compassion for the Church
- Having Compassion for the Gifts of God
He quoted from Matthew 22:37-39 "Jesus replied: "'37Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'38This is the first and greatest commandment.39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
He gave an example using boy meets girl. About how he, himself, as a high school kid, when he liked a girl, he would try to be around the girl as much as possible. He would think about her all the time and that he would do anything to get her attention.
Pastor Mark, was comparing it to our love for God, His Church, and Gifts of God.
Our love needs to in this 3 things. Why can't we love God like how we would like a person.
Or why we can say "I worked late tonight and I have a bit of cough, so I think I'll skip church tomorrow." but when it comes to meeting the person we love, it doesn't matter what time is it, where is it, or how we are, we just wanna spend time with them.
Pastor Mark says, we should be wanting God like that. Even if it was serving at the front gate of His courts, welcoming people, we would be full of joy to be in the presence of the Lord.
He quoted Psalm 84:10
"10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked."
Really, what a super correct verse quoted. Gosh, I forgot the third point...
This is why I should start taking notes. When I remember I'll come back here and post it.
Anyways he closed his message after saying "finally or my final point" a few times =P.
I went to the drum & bass workshop.
They didn't teach anything about like music, but more to worship.
How the drum and bass, and over all worship team should be like.
Its like the worship team should 90% accompaniment and 10% of our own selves.
Man, I want a worship team like that. Not like the showing of ones.
To be servants for the congregation not performing for them.
Ok thats all I can remember, so I'll end it here.
Sleep I guess.
