hey.
Good to hear from Wilson. Seems to me he really knows what he is doing and what he is hearing from God. Ezra's right, fast and pray. He will reveal.=)
Anyway, i'm not sure if i'm able to make it on the day itself but i'll be more than happy if I can help in any area though.
Allow me to be honest and don't take it personally.
I was reading about the "hymn issue". Ezra stated that hymns are not spiritual or evangelical or something like that. Stephanie also brought up that if we have the wrong intentions, she will cancel the session. Well, Ezra, hymns are not charismatic, true, but they shouldn't be neglected because it has really deep and original meaning compared to songs written by Planetshakers and all. Stephanie, I think it is only natural that Ezra thinks otherwise about hymns as he is only a youth. We all make the same mistake of having a wrong perception about hymns that it is old and traditional at some point in life. But I don't think threatening to cancel a session because of forgetting hymns is a right thing do. I think it is only right that we be taught and advised. Don't you think so?
I also personally feel that we are too much into planning and practising that we forget the heart of worship. We tend to choose songs based on our likings and our decisions that it becomes a concert performance than a p&w session. From experience, the best worship sessions are the once that are simple, from our heart to God, NOT cool songs, from our mouth to the audience. I think Wilson has taken the right steps on listening to what God has to say rather than choosing based on his own likings.
Good to see how committed the youth are in serving God. Sorry for not being able to commit myself to the youth so much this year. All the best in your 29th November worship. God bless. Take care.
Justin.
