Default The Heart of Worship

Greetings to everyone,

I would like to touch on a basic and vital part of our existence..we are made to worship. As I look around me, seing everything in creation, mountains, hills, rivers, flowers, trees,fruits, rocks, sky, sun, moon stars, planets, galaxy, etc..etc.. isnt it so great that God made MAN/Women in His own Image?
To think and talk, to sing and dance, write songs, poems, have kids, and help others?
Isnt HE a great God that HE gave Jeus to save us?

The greatness of His name spreads all over the world.
In sociology we studied the Laws of Nature... that everything is connected to something. Have you ever wondered why?

Why we take in Oxygen and breath our Carbon Dioxide? Why do the plants need CArbon Dioxide and brings out Oxygen?

There must be a greater, smarter creator outhere who orchestrates
everything in harmony.

All I can do is to stand amaze at the GREATNESS of His Love, and bless His Holy NAme because he made me and everything else around me.
There is no other Name but Jesus... HE is Worthy to be Praised !

Default My Testimony

Dear all my bro & sis in Christ,

Well actually i'm not used to do this. But a friend asure me that my story will be strength to everyone.

My church is Hillsong. Now i'm taking worship & creative arts in Hillsong college. To be in this church, in my family is one proof of God's great love for me.
3 years later i was a bad girl, i did terrible things to people. I used to lie to get what i want, a satisfaction. I want people to think i am good, i used to get jeaolus if people are better than me.

On top of that (i'll tell you te truth), i was a lesbian. Hahahaha..now i can see that was a funny thing. My old church is big, full of band, and now is one of the greatest church in indonesia. But my heart was empty, i can't feel God's presence, not even a bit!!

People in it really use mask. My heart really feel hungry & thirsty for HIS presence. I only got worse, coz they don't have tolerance for others. Looking people only from money & from their famous.

And thenone day, my cousin decided to take me to Hillsong. And oh my, for the first time in my life i can feel HIS presence. I can't describe how it felt, i just know that i feel peace surrounding me.

I cried for hours, for all my sins. And day after that, my cousin take me to the counselor. They were very sweet, welcome me with open arms. Few hours after that, they lead me in prayer & that day i commited all my sins to God.

I still have to follow counseling, take one year to free from all of my sins, frustation, anger, etc. But now i am totally free!! I can see how God change my life. He gave me new family, new church, and on top of everything HE gave me someone that i know he's my true love.
A man that can help me grow up in Jesus.

I am not ashamed of my life. Coz i am living proof that God can change someone that lived in dark hole, become someone that now can bring glory to HIS name.

Jesus bless you
Israel Houston

Hello Israel,

Thanks for posting your testimony, thanks for responding to my invitation.I am
so blessed to have a friend like you. Truly you have seen God's greatness and His Awesome miracles in your life. Continue to hunger and thirst for His presence, He is everything that we need in our life.

As people read your life testimony, we can definetly say that our God is the true and living God, His name is Jesus and he can set free anyone, anywhere, anytime, if we call in His name.

Thank you so much my dear sister in Christ

Guys, these are all inspirational thoughts and stories... They really make you think. I too agree, that looking at the complexity and beauty of the world, it's almost impossible to imagine it all happening by coincidence
