okay, it's been a very emotional week for me. i watched "remember the titans" for the first time today. i teared up three times. i tried to figure out why this movie affected me so much. i mean, it's a totally implausible movie. a town torn apart by racism and full of black and white tension suddenly decides to get along just because the integrated football team plays well? it does not make any sense. nonetheless, this movie definitely moved me. i think we all WANT to believe we live in a world where people get on. we want to believe in a world where we can walk hand in hand with our fellow human beings despite our differences. we are drawn to these movies because it is so different from the real world that we live in. we dream, we hope, we believe, we imagine, but the truth is, we live in a world of hate and violence. blacks and whites don't always walk hand-in-hand. friendships aren't always as strong as portrayed in the movie. i think that's one of the reasons why Christianity is so attractive to me. people from all races, cultures, and walks of life can come together in Christ. we are all part of the same family. God and the good news transcend all of these factors. my heart is just overjoyed when i see people praying or reading their Bibles. even if i don't know these people, i automatically feel closer to them than i would just any old stranger because of our common bond. that's the power of Jesus Christ. though we come from different backgrounds, though we may be as different as can be, He loves us all the same. in this fact we find peace, we find comfort, we find unity. in this fact we can walk hand-in-hand. it's so easy. happy-go-lucky. -bj

From Matt Wu's xanga. I like it. I feel the same way. "I will fear You Lord, my God, and I will worship You with reverence. I will sing Your name with awe as I come into Your presence. I will not forget You are the One who spoke the stars in place. I will not forget You are the One who calms the seas. I will not forget that mountains tremble underneath Your gaze. I will not forget that angels worship at Your feet; singing holy is our King, singing holy is our King. -- Reverence, Todd Proctor You know, all too often I get caught up in the 'music' of worship. I sing along, admiring the skill of the band that is playing, tapping my foot to the beat. Randomly, mindlessly, words stream out of my mouth, without me having the faintest idea what I am saying. Music becomes an idol, an obstruction preventing me from indulging in true worship with my Father. Then there are those times, such as when we sang this song in church, where God humbles me. When He reminds me of who I really am, and reminds me of all He's done for me, undeserving sinner that I am. He brings me to my knees, crying out to Him, overwhelmed by the realization that I am nothing without Him. He places me in such a place, that I can do nothing but blindly reach out for Him, trusting Him to uphold me. For who am I to be able to sing such inadequate words of praise? Who are we to think that God needs us, and that singing 'words' comprises sufficient worship? Our actions, without heart, are indeed filthy rags which disgust God. "I will sing Your name with awe as I come into Your presence" Such a simple song, with such a powerful message, doing our best as humans to express our true admiration and awesome fear of our holy God. Worship is that attitude: gratitude to God for all He's done." Worship is not a style of singing. Worship, in fact, isn't singing praises. Worship is an attitude. Worship is a mindset. Worship is a lifestyle. -bj
