Song Sharing -- Heart of Worship

Manson and I are going to lead worship this week. I am glad that God has always given me the opportunity to serve Him. Through serving Him, I think I am getting closer and closer to Him. It is from my bottom of my heart. Praise the Lord!

This week it is gonna be a special week, because our pastor is gone for vacation, and we will not have sermon section and the worship is gonna become a "long" version. It means there are more preparation and stuff.

When I was preparing the worship, by some reason I keep listening to the song “Heart of Worship”. I think the lyrics are very true, very often, I think we have forgotten the true meaning of what worship really about. Is that really about the music? the guitar I play? the vocal? the sound system? When we are singing the songs, is our heart really there to worship God? Or it is just a mindless word from our mouth? What worship really mean?

I still remember clearly a good friend of mine from church asks me, “Honestly, Do you realize that non-Christians are more passionate than Christians?” I kept silent at that moment, and my heart was broken. It’s sad but true. Rock bands are passionate, hockey fans are passionate, charities are passionate, even homosexual groups are passionate. Why aren’t we passionate for Christ?

Oh Lord, please set me free.

“For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me”

It is from Romans 7:15-20. A brother from our church shares this verse with me.

A lot of questions I don’t understand and don't know how to answer. But in my bottom heart, I do see His glory within the darkness. You seek, and you will find. That's the promise. And we believe that one day we will see our Father again. This is our faith, and that make us different from the norm of this world, and we should be passionate to share this to others.
