try to write some songs for God, do some recording - dont be lazy!
human are created to worship, thats why they will always worship something.
- that you spent the most time, effort, money for...
- you maybe more interested in music but not worship!
worship - telling the worthiness of someone
how pre-believer think of our God when they see us worship?
during worship, we concern how many ppl look at us than how God look at us!
- the way we sing, we post, we lift our hand...
worship on stage should be a reflection of our worship life style when we are off stage!
1. Power of understanding
2. Power of Atmosphere
3. Power of Expectation

worship conference1 - Ps Glenn
some sentence from Christian is not biblical, very dangerous.
"putting Jesus 1st in our life"
what is that mean?
1st thing to do in life? then wat is 2nd thing? 3rd thing?
does it mean afterdoing 1st thing and we can focus/ persue 2nd thing?
Jesus is just the 1st in our priority listing?
1Sam5:1-8 Temple of Dagon
Dagon is god of grain/rain=farming(core econ factor)=success
Dagon is chief of all gods. in the temple found other gods, some are by collection of other gods thru victory of wars.
do we have gods of success in our life? we pray God help me to succes in career, in marriage, in family, in ministries... so Jesus is just one of the god of success? He go according to our will? eg: worship ministry,leadership.
pls find out al gods of successin your life.
God will smash it like how He smashed Dagon.
He wants to be our first andour last... He is the end of everything, of self-centeredness, of selfishness, of evil desires.
re-define the list of priority: God is center of life.
if we serve 2 gods in life, we will struggle,one day, our heart will fall apart like Dagon.
what should we do with the presence of God?
(the rich youngman in NT?)
1. did Jesus ever enter to the temple of Dagon in ur heart?
2. did God ever smashed Dagonin your heart?

going wild
im learning to be wild, at God's sight...
i must keep the masculine integrity - every man must choose to fight!
service to a purpose greater than himself
3 enemies: world, flesh,devil.
u shud know when to fight, when to run, sense the traps,know wat weapons to carry, how to use,never charge blindly.
every man wants the easiest way out.
u r given new heart. my sin is not me.
the flesh is my false self - the poser - crucify it.
when i deny my anger, i sabotage my strength, and turn itto fear.
a man's addictions are the result of his refusing his strength.
dont escape from the lion that chases after you, his your strength, your courage.

你無法把香蕉皮罵進垃圾桶的！
你無法把香蕉皮罵進垃圾桶的！
大學階梯教室裡，一場演講會即將開始。
主講人是蜚聲海內外的知名教授，海報兩天前就貼出去了，反應異常熱烈，同學們紛紛趕到現場，要一睹教授的風采。
離開講還有十分鐘，學生們紛紛進入到會場中，在他們跨進會場的一瞬，不約而同地發現腳下有一塊香蕉皮，在抬腿避開時，都不忘埋怨兩句：是誰這麼缺德？一點公共意識都沒有！組織者是怎麼搞的？現在的人，什麼素質？
大家嘰哩咕嚕抱怨著跨過那塊香蕉皮，坐到自己的位置上，靜等著教授的光臨。幾分鐘後，教授準時到達。他也發現地上的香蕉皮，扶扶眼鏡上前仔細端詳。教室裡頓時靜了下來，大家都伸長脖子，看教授的一舉一動。
教授看清楚腳下是一塊香蕉皮，勃然大怒，指著它大聲說道：「你怎麼可以呆在這個地方呢？你應該是在垃圾桶裡睡覺！怎麼這麼沒有公德心、沒有環保意識，要是有人踩到你摔傷怎麼辦？你太不像話了！」
憤怒讓他的眼鏡在鼻樑上跳動著，讓人一下子想起被小事激怒的唐老鴨， 聽眾席上頓時傳來一陣陣笑聲。教授沒理會，繼續憤怒，對著香蕉皮繼續發火。
聽眾席上，有學生不耐煩了，大聲說：算了吧！教授，別費力氣了，你不可能把香蕉皮罵進垃圾桶的！
教授聽了，突然，轉過頭來，滿臉紅光地笑了，並伸手把香蕉皮撿起來，放進講臺旁的垃圾桶裡，用紙巾擦擦手說：剛才那位同學說什麼？能再說說嗎？
教室頓時靜了下來，沒人說話。
教授說： 這是我特意安排的一個環節，我想給大家講的道理，其實你們已明白並喊了出來。 但對你們來說， 明白道理是一回事，而用道理指導自己的行為，卻又是另外一回事！
我相信，在坐的幾百名同學，沒有一個人不懂得香蕉皮是罵不進垃圾桶的，但大家缺乏動一動手，以舉手之勞去改變現狀的行為。

教室頓時靜了下來，沒人說話。
教授說：我聽見了，你不能把香蕉皮罵進垃圾桶的！這就是我今天晚上演講的題目！
這時，牆上的大螢幕上開始播放同學們剛才入場時的鏡頭，同學們千姿百態地跨越香蕉皮和版本各異的埋怨聲清晰地傳了出來。大家最初哄笑著，慢慢變得雅雀無聲。教授說： 這是我特意安排的一個環節，我想給大家講的道理，其實你們已明白並喊了出來。 但對你們來說， 明白道理是一回事，而用道理指導自己的行為，卻又是另外一回事！
我相信，在坐的幾百名同學，沒有一個人不懂得香蕉皮是罵不進垃圾桶的，但大家缺乏動一動手，以舉手之勞去改變現狀的行為。
這就如同許多人感覺社會冷漠，而又吝於付出一個笑臉；
埋怨環境污染，卻又不願意撿一片垃圾；
咒駡腐敗和貪污，遇事卻本能地想去托關係走後門；
感歎道德水準下降，卻又不願意身體力行地去做任何一件善事……
幾乎所有的人都在埋怨和咒駡。
埋怨環境污染，卻又不願意撿一片垃圾；
咒駡腐敗和貪污，遇事卻本能地想去托關係走後門；
感歎道德水準下降，卻又不願意身體力行地去做任何一件善事……
幾乎所有的人都在埋怨和咒駡。
幾乎所有人都不願意身體力行去做事。
責任永遠在別人身上，而自己永遠都是受害者！
這些做法與心態，無限放大了消極面，而使人看見的都是絕望。
事實上，並非如我們所想的那樣，社會的每一分進步，都是需要人們用行動去構建。
如果我不亂扔垃圾，這個世界就少了一個污染源；如果我再將身邊的垃圾清理掉，世界就乾淨了一分；
如果我的行為感化並帶動了一個人，那麼世界上又多了一份乾淨的原因。
地球上只有五十多億人，這不是一個望不到邊的數字，因而，我們應該為自己的五十億分之一，抱有信心。
記住，垃圾不會被罵進垃圾桶，你得行動！從現在開始！
教授的演講結束了，會場裡響起聲音宏大但情緒極其複雜的掌聲

the fulfillment?
reading John maxwell's book: Today matters, today's relationship give me fulfillment.
im sad tat im not a person who value ppl, value r/ship. im jz so bad in tat. how to build it? how to value it?
since young im alone, im quiet, im selfish.
JM says, u'll find the most hapi person, whose the one value life, value r/ship.
ya, i agree tat too.
i gotta learn to like ppl, learn to undstd ppl, respect ppl...
bridge the gap: when ppl
- are insecure... give them confidence
- want to feel special... sincerely compliment them
- desire a bettr tmro... show them hope
- need to be understood... listen to them
- are selfish... speak to their needs first
- get emotionally low... encourage them
- want to be associated with success... help them win
asking myself:
- do i have ulterior motives for wanting to relate to this person?
- is my caring conditional?
- am i trying to escape sthg?
- am i planning to change the person?
- do i need this person to help me make up for a deficiency in myself?
- ??
if YES, leave them alone, they are better off without you!
have i been thoughtful toward ppl today?
would they express joy that they have spent time with me?
1. put other first: treat as urself; ppl dont care how much u know b4 they know how much u care
2. don't carry emotional baggage: past hurt, offences, resolve it
3. give time to most valuable r/ship: not FCFS basis, at the end, u'll drain & nthg much can give
4. serve others gladly: live for others; do it cheerfully
5. express love and appreciation often: u can't express it more when u lay on bed for last breath; see the best in ppl, find 1 thing to admire them
wow... its unbearable to me... i gotta give so much!!
to clarify, im not a person that do not hv frenz at all, there are frenz tat i can naturally practice all the above... but just very hard to practice for so many ppl
