Doing it His way

Today the first highlight of my day was my colleague, Sharon's, holy matrimony. It's actually my first time attending a holy matrimony outside CHC, so i was pretty curious about how different it would be. I thought the process was more solemn than how our church conducts ours, but i thought it still went well n i respect the way the ceremony was conducted. Maybe it's because i'm older now or more mature, but i'm beginning to appreciate the way traditional churches conduct their services too, n i thought the best n sweetest segment was when the groom sang a song for his bride as a special item for her. :)

Coming from a background where i attended 3 methodist schools in a span of 12 years (long huh?) from primary school till my JC days, attending chapel every Mon morning, i was rather shocked when i came to CHC for the first time n saw our church's praise n worship cos it was very different from my 12 years of chapel. Although i have never admitted this outrightly to anyone before, but in my heart, especially as a young believer, there was a tendency for me to compare how chapel in school was carried out to the way service was carried out in church n how our auditorium looked in church compared to how our chapel in school looked n i would then conclude to myself that my church's style is so much better n that it suits me better. Now when i think of it, i wonder how i could be so childish then?!

Actually, different churches do things differently, n it's not about how hip the music is or how funny the preacher is, but it's about listening to God and doing what He has called us to do. I feel that there is no style that is right or wrong, but the most important thing is to do it God's way, how He wants us to do it. If u try to copy someone else, u might not get as good a result as the other person, because u did not hear from God personally n it was just merely copying.

It is not about style, but it is all about Jesus, doing it His way :)
