A Response: Why People Don't Sing In Church Anymore

We all have passion and one of mine is worship. Bring up worship and we could talk for hours. Bring an instrument and you will make this girl happy! We will worship for hours. I love being able to worship the creator of the universe. It makes my heart so full!

Recently I saw a blog about why people don’t sing in church anymore. I found the title interesting so I clicked on it. After reading it I was so upset and baffled that I went to my room and worshiped God and prayed “God where are your worshipers?”.

Worship is not a song. Countless blogs say why people don’t sing in church. In my option if our focus is to just get people to sing, making worship just a bunch of songs to be sung, then we are worse than I thought. When worship becomes just another song it’s likely you’re lacking relationship with the one that your called to worship.

Worship is and has always been a lifestyle. Singing songs to God is just one avenue. You can worship him with your life, money, relationships…well everything! Worship looks like a lot of different things. The woman who poured expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet and then wiped them with her hair was a act of worship. She did it because she was so in love with him. Some might think it’s over the top. But Jesus loved it.

I have traveled around the world and been in countless worship serves. I don’t speak all the different languages but that doesn’t stop me from giving my god adoration. People say songs now days are hard to sing, cheesy, aren’t the “original” songs and unbiblical. So they don’t “sing”. Haha have you gone through a hymnal lately (I love hymns don’t get the wrong idea)? Just saying… There shouldn't be any excuses.

I have been around lots of people like this: “Oh I wish they would play that one song, then I’ll sing". So here is my question: Is your worship to God dependent on what song is being played?

I’m ready for a generation to rise up and truly worship God selflessly. No matter the song or circumstance, that they consider it all joy to exalt him. I’m ready to see worship like it was in the tabernacle of David. There were people worshiping all the time with excellence and with a heart toward God (proof that excellence in worship is ok).

My heart burns for God. I long to worship Him not only on Sunday mornings but every day! We should worship because of who God is, plain and simple. He alone is worthy of all our praise. He the reason we even have songs.

I will be His worshiper and I will be a voice to this generation. It is time for the true worshipers arise. I see a people who will hold nothing back because they are so in love with Jesus.

Scan Your Pain Away

This week we are healing services at my church. We have been learning that it's Christ in us the hope of glory! So if that's true then we can do anything! This morning were told to pray for those who needed healing.

My sister Janae was sitting next to me and her neck and back were hurting really bad.
I have been learning that God can heal someone using anything. So I picked up my phone and "scanned" my sisters back two times. Then she sat down and started laughing! The pain was totally gone!
We serve a awesome God with no limits! Ha!

So if you need healing go grab your phone and "scan" yourself. Why not? What do you have to loose? There is power in the testimony! Be healed today! Comment below and tell me what happens!

Life Is More Fun Than You Think

I've been hanging around people from Bethel Church lately. And the more I do the more I realize that life is made to be a blast....All the time. Christians are to be the most joyful people.
I think we make life way to serious. We think to be powerful believers we have to be serious. What a lie!
In the movie Monsters Inc. the monsters goal was to collect energy from kids. To get it, they would scare kids. But in the end they discovered that if they got the kids to laugh instead, the energy would triple!
The same is for us! We have more power in joy! In it is strength that can not be matched. But be warned, if you take this on you will be tested! It's already happened to me this morning! Ha! So this is part of my mission. To live a life full of the Joy of the Lord!
