So Choose!!!

My hope is that you have an encounter with the King of Glory! Our band will never satisfy you. We're loud, we're quiet, we're rockin', we're shoutin' joyful noises. Fortunately, here at the Stream we have a few bands with different flavours that usually can touch almost every taste of music. You'll just have to wait your turn. The thing is... we were ALL created to worship. It's our very essence. However, because of the sin in the garden of Eden, our worship & praise is now a choice.


So choose! Do you worship based on the song being sung? Because it's your flavour or not? Maybe you worship based on how you feel or what circumstance you might be going through. For me, I asked my self some questions...


When Jesus chose to go to the cross for me, did he really want to in the flesh? How was He feeling that day? Was He going through some circumstances? Were all his fleshly needs met? Was He uncomfortable? Was everything in His life going perfectly in the flesh?


I honestly can't answer any of these questions with absolute certainty, but I do know one thing for sure... He chose to go to the cross for me!!!


How can I keep from singing???

Mike: Just discovered your blog today.
( I must be one of the slow haha)
Your thoughts and feelings of truth are well said and embraced.

After reading this a song from Jesus Christ Superstar popped into my head.
Here is part of the lyrics.
The song is Hosanna

"Sing me your songs but not for me alone. Sing out for yourselves for you are blessed. There is not one of you who cannot win the kingdom the slow the suffering the quick the dead."

I choose just to sing praises always to the "beat" of His heart.
