Répondre S'il Vous Plaît!

For those of you who've ever wondered why people write RSVP at the end of an invitation, or what "RSVP" really stands for: It is French for "please reply!" :)

AND of course, RSVP is the theme/event name for.......*drumroll*......

WORSHIP EXPERIENCE!!!! *SCREEEAM!!*

Yayy...I'm sure looking forward to it! :) SO...what's so exciting about worship experience anyway?? The totally awesome music? The cool psychedelic lights? The decor that Team Invent (*applause*) puts up in the service hall? The beautiful people on stage! (God made everyone beautiful mah...) The jumping, dancing and shouting? The great emotional high?

Hmm... something's missing huh? Well let me just say one thing here: If we had all the above, but God's presence and glory didn't come......we'd just be enjoying a rock concert.

Worship experience is about experiencing GOD, the ONE we worship. It's about INVITING the presence of God, and it's about RESPONDING/REPLYING to HIS invitation to experience Him and know Him in a personal and powerful way. That's RSVP.

It's like a cry from our heart to His saying, "Please reply! Come fill this place! Come meet with us! Please don't pass us by!" Are you hungry n desperate to have Him reply??

And at the same time it's an invitation from His heart to ours saying, "Please reply! Do you want Me? Do you want to draw nearer to Me and know Me more? I love you, will you also love Me and love my people/your generation?" Will you accept His invitation N say YES! Lord, our hearts respond to You and we desire to capture Your heart.

Well, most importantly we gotta remember that worship is ALL FOR JESUS. (Rememeber how we sing "It's all about YOU"?) Yes, worshipping God makes us feels great - becos it's wad God made us to do, and God's joy, peace n love also fill us up when He comes near to us in our times of worship - but worship is really about ADORING GOD. It's OUR response to HIM, His greatness and His love for us.

So Ignyte! Prepare ur hearts to ADORE and MEET WITH the King of kings. He invites YOU to an awesome party like no other, this sunday, 11.30am at LT1, Trinity @ PL. -RSVP-
