Dear all,
I am glad that most of us have had the workbook on hand. Those who have it already can realise that it is actually a thin book which you can finish reading within a day. Well, but that is without reflection and pondering upon the content which is the utmost important to our heart.
Remember guys, that worship is beyond the technical skill, it needs to be “in spirit and in truth, because God is spirit”.
Once you have the book already you can start reading and asking God to check your heart and reveal to you about the heart of worship. I have only 3 requirements for ya:
(a) Do the reading and the pondering after you have a (good) time of worship Him privately (may be after your Quiet time worship, if you do worship in your QT session).
(b) Please go through all the topics before the Worship retreat, even though you may personally drawn into some topics more than the other.
(c) Share your heart and thoughts through the blog. Check the blog regularly for posts or just RSS it.
For those who are less disciplined like me, you may consider a suggested scheduled below. Please please please dont cramp all the topics in before the worship retreat to fulfill requirement (b), because that defeat the purpose of checking your heart and align your heart with His heart.
