Yeah Yeah Yeah God is Great.

pondering for too long, deep down inside I knew it’s better to write a confession rather then continue to boast.

seen what happening around…myself…my church’s members…indeed it’s like the church physical building, if we stand a bit further apart from it we can see it is a graceful building, yet didn’t notice we get to see some parts of it needed repair from inside out, when it was tested by weathers , when the rust slowly eaten up the metal grill.. But what I intended to say is about what inside us…

Grief for my own fallen a hypocrite …grief for my sisters and brothers…may be I was short of grace to put my perspectives in more lighten way. Always told myself …keep on bearing with each everyone of us, we all need God’s mercy and grace more then anything else…more then what we think what is really right or wrong…more then what is the rules and laws being long practices and obeyed by the church…what I mean is not about not following what is required, but not till the extend that we were acting like the Pharisees.

I had seen …a sister islanded herself because of heart bitterness, due to several reasons especially dealing with the church issues and members. Here I’m not to put comment or give judgment but as grievance expression and hope God answered my prayer... I had seen…a brother, who was so surprise and unable to accept another brother way of worship, with the small rap rhythm during the youth fellowship. I was thinking…is this really serious matter and is this a joke that can be share behind the back of the brother? …thinking by myself and ask for God forgiveness if my perception on this is not right. My question is, is this wrong and sinful? Yet why we always emphasize this; at the heart of worship? What is the true purpose of this? Just because we are living in this decade, using this language, using this style of music which all slowing going to evolve along with new generations which going to use different language and singing expression, just like the comparison of the old Hebrew words of the bible that we no longer understand or read…yet until today we still sharing and practicing the same faith as they once did faithfully. For me…It’s not right to think it is not appropriate or wrong, if something is strange and new out of norm to us. Why limit ourselves while worshipping a God who is so great in understanding us…are we seeking to be like the image of God ?or we only hoping others to build an image that is only acceptable among ourselves which is call normal, cause we always like to repeat this “ this is what we normally do or practice here !”

This song "what if God was one of us?"it’s lyric remind us of God…in a simple means that we fail to capture “what if God was one of us”…how he gonna respon? When one of his child singing praise “yeah yeah yeah God is great”...is He pleased just as the same thousand years back, when the psalmist were giving their praises to Him, or He is awfudly surprise only like us?

here i hope reader won't come up with the perception of " why christian acting like this " in everywhere, everyone we may somehow found some defact and imperfection...let not this discourage you from seeking for the truth and love of God.
hope that He is always with me, when time i no longer have the energy to walk on...
