Worship

Every sunday there is worship... duh. But usually i fail to feel spiritually high and touched... why?

Maybe it's cause my standard of a good worship's rather high, all the songs must be to my liking, or i'll just stand there and not even sing a word. Why do you think i'm always to restless during chapel in the morning? Cause the worship plain SUX. I mean like, a bunch of hymns with a solo piano? what kind of nonsense is that? I know that every worship, no matter how good or lousy, is done unto God, but surely this is unacceptable? I dont have to say that the majority of the school population are YOUTHS?!

Speaking from my point of view as a youth, i can say that slow songs really arent the thing for youths. Especially with a so called "spiritual" instrument like the piano. I can safely say that the only type of worship that appeals to me are contemporary songs with a proper band with proper instruments, the guitar simply cant be left out... Ok maybe i'm a bit biased against the piano, but i'm sure that i'm not the only one that doesn't like the worship on monday's chapel. Even non-christians say that the worship is lousy, like....... kenneth.

The most powerful worship i have ever experienced was the worship session me and the rest of the cast of the musical "You Are Special!" had when i was in sec 1. The feeling was indescribable, i felt like i was floating, and i was seriously TOUCHED, I was brought to tears, some people even knelt down unintentionally simply cause of the feeling they were having. It was just so meaningful. The musical was our church's evangelistic outreach for that year, so what i believe that God blessed us that very day as we were worshipping him and being apprehensive about performing later infront of an audience of non-christians. He gave us confidence through touching us before we did something to serve him. At the end of our musical a precher would come and talk about what we were teaching, that everybody was special in God's eyes, then people in the audience that had been touched and changed were asked to raise their hands. We were watching as the few hands were raised, some of us were saddened by the fact that there were so little, but our leader said that it didnt matter. Lately i brought up that subject, and my friend described it as "really scary", i suppose i wasnt the only one that experienced it for the first time. That was my turning point in my Christian life, from just going to church to truly understanding the meaning behind it.

I hope that Grace Kwee will become more aware of the crappy worship and change for the better, and i hope that i will be able to experience that same feeling that i have had before. Worship, to me is the most important part of any service. It serves the purpose of preparing our minds and to keep us focused unto God.
