V-day of 2006

I went to the SIA club for dinner with my parents. My sis even chided me for being a "light bulb" on the V-day, haha! But i juz want to have a decent food. So silly of us to drive when we can actually walk to the place, haha, 3 "sua ku-s" !

We were supposed to try this new Chinese restaurant but felt that the menu was more suitable for a bigger crwod of ppl. Thus we decided to try a 2-week old Japanese cafe resturant there. My mum and i shared a $50 set meal (wah, so ex?) while my dad ordered his fave tempura despite the fact he's never been crazy on Japanese food. Guess what? Few hours later i had diarrhoea. Shld hv taken cooked food then take the raw stuff, haiz...


I was reading this off Min's blog & decided to post it here... Really refreshing for me as a servant of God in the worship ministry...

Worship is NOT the music...worship is NOT the preaching...worship is ALL of the acts and elements through which WE MEET GOD. Worship is the CENTRAL REASON for our existence and the CENTRAL PURPOSE of the church."The difficulty will not be so much in the writing of new and great music; the test will be the godliness of those who deliver it." (John Wimber)" As people like Saul demonstrate, anointing does not guarantee godly chracter and right motives. In fact, it tests them to the extreme." (Graham Kendrick)"

To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God." (William Temple)Worship is about GOD...worship is for God...worship is to God."

Worship is to give God what is rightfully His. We were created to worship God, we were made with a yearning for intimacy with our Maker...the divine priority is this: Worship first, service second." (Richard Foster)The role and jobof a worship leader/team is: To lead God's people into His presence.From 'For the Audience of One' by Mike Pilavachi:...

A worship leader needs to work hard at worshipping the Lord on his or her own...In our activist Christianity, we are often doing things all the time, existing in a continual state of achieving. We need to learn that the heart of the Christian faith is realtionship with Jesus, and the way that God has chosen for us to express relationship with Him is through worship...

To learn to minister to the Lord when no one else is ther is preparation for ministering to the Lord when thousands of people are there...Worship and the relationship that surrounds it is not something you can switch on and off. Instead, it is my responsibility to talk to the Lord, to worship Him and to read His Work regularly, otherwise when I come with others to worship there is nothing there but empty words...

Worship is not a spectator sport, it is not a product moulded by the taste of consumers. It is not about what we can get out of it. It is all about God...Another reason our worship goes stale is that we simply have lost the wonder of our salvation...The reasonable act of worship is to offer ourselves to Him. (Romans 12:1-2, 9-16)

Frankly, i don't celebrate V-day. As for loneliness, i am quite immune to it alr...
