This is not to grade performances. Not to put evaluation on how the worship and sharing during the service is being done. Yes, we all should improve our public speaking and singing as much as possible, but the main matter is that I am in the River sharing from my heart my personal testimony.
I think we can put public ministering into 2 categories:
- Sharing facts, good thoughts and biblical truth. We are theologically correct.
- Sharing my personal testimony how God is working in and around me. Applying the Word of God into ordinary living.
We
are all having the treasure in our earthen vessels, but if the vessels becomes Nr
1 … the preaching will be boring. Only when I am part of God's movement, my sharing
becomes exiting. And we can bear a lot of fruit.
The
style is not the key. To be politically correct and "churchy" correct is not the
main issue. Where is the LIFE?
I
am so happy to see how we in Streams of Grace Church Ubon have different people
sharing with different styles in worship, testimony and preaching.
Lately, I must say, I feel I myself is in the river…. and become exited to flow in
Gods flow over Ubon-Pakse.
- Before the preaching: I am walking with God in my preparation … and He works in me. Specially during the worship before preaching. That time makes the heaven Open.
- During the preaching: I experience that the river is flowing and …. God has something to say to everyone of us.
- After preaching: The flow is still available. Even if people don't say anything ….. the living word gives blessing today on Monday, yes many days.
