rally

it's been a while since i last wrote here..my bad...am sorry =(..but anyhow...about the rally

i have to say that at the very beginning..it was becuz it's the year of the youth that we're having this rally..part n partial of it cuz it wasn't year of the youth but we had it las year tho...

but no...we're not doin becuz the adults wanted it...there were clashing of dates and stuff...if it was the adults then we wuld hav juz followed n did wateva they wan us to do...but i see determination in us because we stood by our stand over some stuff...becuz we wanna do it

the rally is not only for non-christians but it can come in as a boost for those who r goin dry...as our theme says...ONE FOR ALL- for those who has yet to know about how Jesus died for us and ALL IN ONE- when we are christian...we are one with God...

right now, what we need most is prayer from anyone...pls do pray for us that God will protect us against hindrances...for all we know...when we try to do something and get closer to God...the devil will get naughty n try to keep us down n disappointed with all sorta strategies...
but we know that Jesus holds us securely and the evil one cannot get hold of us(1 john 5:18)..right?He promised us tat..n i believe His word..so let's trust Him together n let Him lead now...

sometimes we tend to get distracted by our own glory and responsibility tat we forgot we're doing this for God...but we shuld really keep our mind focus that it is becuz of God...we're doin tis...

it doesn't matter if the way we behave outside is not-so-like-a-christian...God accepts it...becuz we know we're not perfect..God is refining us...tats where God comes in...we're not good enuf...He polishes us...right?but at the same time we shuld be willing to submit n let Him do the polishin...

as for reaching out with worship...tats y we hav message in the middle...in fact the MORE important part of the rally is the message...n we r trying to get songs with words tat are meaningful, not juz nice...songs tat can tell others what really happened n how we can come before Him...when they do not know the song...they can look at the lyrics which is better...they can focus on the words...not just the music..

n besides,in our rally, we hav ice breakers n stuff rite?fun together..we gonna jump n jam around..with all the music instruments...tho its not the point of it (absulotely)...at least these non-christian frenz of ours they know what youth group is really all about...we're exposing them to a christian atmosphere..to let them know there's a free place to hang around..to hav frenz..hav great fun..they can also learn up cool instruments like guitars n drums to play with(a lot of ppl might not hav this opportunity to do so outside the church becuz not everybody can afford these)..at least tis is a much much better place then to waste their money n time at cyber cafes doin ntg rite?

another thing we noe is tat the world outside our church...people think being a christian is being brain-washed by priests n tat goin to church is listenin to boring talks...but thru rallies...we r telling them no tis is not all about n wat it's like to be a christian at all..

so, i, for one believe God is working and He is with us...do you believe?
