What to Do After a High Energy Worship Experience

Two words that must be associated with worship: revelation and response. Every time we come to God in an attitude of worship, it must be because we are responding to His revealed Word. Without such revelation, our worship lacks reason and substance.

Many of us are familiar with Shema, the famous Jewish verse found in Deut. 6:4-5.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart

Debunked

‎”We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men were created equal…” Despite the rise of atheism in the West, America’s Declaration of Independence recognizes two foundational beliefs: (1) truth exists; (2) humans are created. America’s foremost political document debunks relativism and evolution theory in one stroke.

One of these days, Victory Caloocan singles will talk about ministry and world missions over cups of coffee. We’ll cry a little, our hearts will burn for the cause of Christ and missionaries will come out of those conversations.

Extremely Ordinary

His name was Ananias. He was the guy in Acts 9 that God sent to pray for blind Saul. At first he was hesitant to obey. Why would he go and see someone who was notorious for dragging Christians to prison? He was just an ordinary disciple in Damascus who happened to be there when God was looking for someone to turn the tides of world history.

He debated with God for a while but eventually gave in. He went ahead and prayed a miraculous healing for Saul. We never heard from Ananias again because he simply faded into the background. But the person he prayed for became the greatest missionary of all time, the apostle who brought the gospel to the Gentile world.
