not just church..

we have non stop singing, mad dancing, flags flying, flutes and drums and horns blowing and banging.... but most of all..... god's awesome awesome presence.

smtimes i wonder if going back to singapore will make it any different. i remember the time in YC we should to jump and dance around and sing.... not cause it was any conformity but cos.... maybe there was a lot more freedom and passion? but....... im sure the passion hasn't 'died down'. it'll be wrong of me to assume so just cos i havent been back.

why then, do i dance and sing? and why then and when would i dare to be 'undignified' than 'this'?

COS its his first commandment!!!
Deutoronomy 6:5 reads "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."
and
Mark 12:30 reads "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment."

so, repeated over and over again in the old and new testament, it must have be the first and foremost commandment since the time of adam, eve, noah, abraham and moses! david? oh we dont even have to talk about david! the dancer and singer and player of music in worship..... in this single verse lies the cause of every other commandment and instruction and calling that god would have called of us. cos to love Him with everything we have, really encompasses EVERYTHING! soul (body and will), mind, and strength....all my strength....physically love Him and 'totally going for it' (as chris would say)!!!!

oh god, you just.... totally blow my mind of what i can perceive and what anyone could measure or reason. i am left speechless. i want to be undiginified ALL FOR YOU MY LORD!!!!!!!!!!

and i will do so wherever i am, with whatever im doing...NO double standards...
