its funny how people criticize or do something along that line to pull you down.i well know since i belong to once of the most controvesial and hence inevitably criticized (and yet) on-track christian church, city harvest church (another reason i know so well is that i occasionally join that dark side to criticize too.but thats beside the point for now).
i mean..just type city harvest church in google and tons of websites and articles will be tossed out for your enjoyable reading.needless to say, being on the right track, that are many commending articles.but.. the interesting ones and worth reading ones are actually the criticizing ones.
there was one that i remembered about city harvest using contemporary versions like nkjv bibles and yet hardly a kjv bible is being sold in the attributes bookstore.well,its kinda weird that we insistently using the old-english bible in a society like ours, where EVERYONE has already PROGRESSED onto using contemporary english (aka we dont talk or write like shakespheare anymore) isn't it?all that thou thy thine etc is just another whole language.i might as well spend the time learning the old english onto learning another foreign language so i can read the bible in another language.haha.
if i wasnt mistaken,the same article spoke about an article in an issue of Harvest Times (city harvest's quarterly magazine) where someone asked in an Aunt-Agony-lookalike column addressed to Sun (Pastor Sun, Ho Yeow Sun, He Yao Shan, or however you like to call her.just no vulgarities and demeaning names) asking how can she achieve the same spiritual atmosphere she experiences in church service in her bedroom.well,one suggestion that Sun gave was that you would worship along with a worship album.of course that became an issue (duh right.if not i wont have mentioned it) with the criticisms going along the line of focusing more on contemporary worship (and songs and etc) instead of God.well,maybe its just that im oversensitive or is that reader rather undiscerning?isnt it obvious that the questioner (cant find the word to describe the person who wrote in so i'll just stick with that lah) is a rather young christian is hence asking a duh question that a mature christian, which supposedly that rather dumb writer is (the keyword here is supposedly in case you undiscerning reader didnt realize too),knows.by first worshipping with the cd,she can slowly build up her Spirit and her quiet time till a time she can become independent of that the worship album to draw down the same presence.its just like you cant expect your infant to chew expensive emu meat the moment shes born right.tsk.
yar.im rather sarcastic and all now.must be all the stress from exams.prelims is in..few days.craps.
