Worship Intensive by Darlene Zschech

This is a fantastic teaching by Worship Pastor of Hillsong Church, Darlene Zschech. The first time I heard the teaching, I quickly find a way to download the video to remind me the purpose of worship each time I feel like I am not able to. I hope it encourages and helps you walk closer with God in an intimate way through worship. Here is Part 1 and Part 2 of the teaching. My next post will be Part 3 and Part 4.

What Is So Special About Laminin?

I repost this entry as I came across a more detailed picture of the scientific form of laminin.

Coincidence, fluke or just pure luck? No, it is God's master design of the human anatomy to depict His promise to us. From time to time, science discoveries continue to reveal how great our God is. Recently I stumble upon a blog showing this youtube video of this speaker Louie Giglio.God never fails to amaze us with the revelation of who He is. Watch the video in this link:

Want to know more about laminin go to Wikipedia-Laminin. This is one part that I would like to highlight from wikipedia"The trimeric proteins form a cross, giving a structure that can bind to other cell membrane and extracellular matrix molecules [3]. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which allows them to form sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor organized tissue cells to the membrane." Bottomline if I'm not wrong, laminin holds our cells and tissues together.Just as the preacher relates to this verse

Colossians 1:15-17
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible,whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;all things were created by him and for him.He is before all things,and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER. "

Attitude

I like how Joyce Meyer state this 


 " We can still have a bad attitude and go to heaven but we can't have a bad attitude and glorify God"


I've been evaluating my attitude and sometimes I find how much situations in my life can either make me or break me. We either succumb into a nasty attitude and think ' 'Cos people do that to us so why can't we be nasty too?, Why be good when we don't get treated well?, Why bother?"  Or we choose to want to make God proud of us and continue to be the person that He wants us to be. 


But God is truly amazing, how patient He is with us and molding us in ways we cannot fathom. As we look back, we realized what God is showing us in different situations. Sometimes He might be showing us how to be slow in anger and quick to listen, to not think of ourselves more highly than we ought, and a lot of these attributes are found in the Bible. We just got to go back to The Word to keep us going the right way. However hard it might be to stay humble, the only way is through Him. There is pride is all of us no matter how quiet we might be or how loud we are as i quote Joyce Meyer again "The middle letter in pride is I ".


As i pause to ponder on Jesus's attitude while He was on earth, there is this indescribable feeling towards the revelation of who He is. I don't feel ashamed of my shortcomings but I'm in awe with His love and grace over me. His grace abounds and soften our hearts to lean towards His strength to be a better person, not run away from Him and be condemned. As my pastor said, "His grace doesn't mean He is giving us the license to sin but compels us to want to please Him more for all that He has done for us". 
God does not condone our wrongdoings but His grace shows us the way to victory and the choice is ours.
