Sunday, 23 November 08

today was one time in a long time that i went with my parents to church, on sunday, for EA first service. it felt a little weird, how we usually go cell together but now its just me and my parents, surrounded by so many adults and highlifers i don't know, and unable to find those i know in the big crowd.

basically,

i went along with them to EA service because i couldn't go for service and cell yesterday.

anyway, i wonder if you guys are still doing worship series for word at cell? cause like i haven't been around for cell last week, for a short while. but anyway, just one random thought came past my mind i guess (:

remember how during worship at cell some time not too long ago, randolf was saying worship goes on even after the music fades?

worship goes on after the music fades. music doesn't control worship, worship is about God (;

i guess today i was kinda like "huh" and stuff, cause i really don't know any of the songs they sing at EA, like quite old stuff or like the ones that i know, i only reached service in time for the song's end (sadly).

but just one thought came across my mind rather:

does it matter if its megalife service, or english adult service, or first service or second service, or if we go with central three every week to megalife or follow our parents to church on sunday?

of course, the thought is:

'woaahhhh its been long since i've followed my parents to church on a sunday some more when i just laze around and have time alone on sundays... kinda weird but wow'.

then again, does it matter anyway?

whether its megalife service, whether its EA adult service, our purpose to worship God will still be the same. our reasons are still the same.

services or the people we go with don't change worship, so to speak. don't modify it, or don't affect it.


randolf said worship goes on even after the music fades (or something about there, i cannot exactly remember and quote him off my mind at current).

in other words, i think what he was trying to explain to us was worship goes on even if there is no music. of course, music is an important, significant, effective and very useful tool to create an atmosphere for worship. thats important but... is the atmosphere a reason for us to worship?

worship is not about music, not about who we go with to the worship services, not about the songs they sing, not about what service it is, be it megalife or EA.

worship is about God :D

our purpose and reasons to worship God will still be the same even if we attend megalife service or EA service, even if we go with central three or not, even if the music's good or bad. our purpose remains the same, to praise God, not because we need to do it, but because He deserves our worship, praise and is worthy of our adoration.

so i guess today, that thought kinda striked my mind a little in the midst of worship.

that whether its adult or megalife services, we will still worship.
like how randolf has said worship goes on after the music fades, whether there is music or not, we will still worship.
that whether the music is good or bad, we will still worship.

as many of you know, i'm serving in worship ministry playing syn.
it kinda striked the thought in my mind.

whether i'm serving up there or not, worship still goes on, and i know, i must still worship.
whether we're up or in the dumps, worship still goes on.


come to think of it, maybe to summarize all of what i said (but forgive me if i'm wrong and feel free to correct me yes).

worship goes on, irregardless of anything and everything.
