Copyright (c) 2010 Robert HinchliffeThe history of music in Christian worship is a substantial one which can trace its origins all the way back to pre-Christian times in the Old Testament. In those very early days we read of the Jewish people singing, playing instrumental music and even dancing. Such activity was widely used as a means of expressing faith. Music played an important role in many acts of celebration and worship. It was into that society that Jesus was born.Over the two thousand ...

One of my favorite hobbies is
singing kareoke. I love
karaoke. It is fun to be at center stage and perform in front of everyone. It
is a great way to demonstrate your singing talents. Just make sure that you are
confident when you sing. The audience can pick up on a lack of confidence and
will not be as interested in your performance.
You can sing karaoke at bars and in private karaoke rooms.
There are positives and negatives of both. In private karaoke rooms you will
just have ...

There used to be a fun old television show called "Where Are They Now?". Viewers could tune in every week to find out what happened to their favorite musicians and actors from years past. Now, with celebrity culture so strong in the U.S., if you own a satellite TV you probably know a lot about what the B-listers of yore are up to these days, as they are likely starring in their own reality television shows, or being photographed while stumbling drunk with no panties on up the Sunset Strip in ...

Are we facing with any difficulties in our life? At the beginning of each year, we normally would like to lay down all our plans. We got so excited and always, we are determined to execute all our plans. Unfortunately in most cases our determination would only last for the first few months and after that everything would be a history!!! We tend to get frustrated easily and will eventually lack the strength to continue. Such phenomenon will normally continue for many years until we totally want ...

Connecting Erroll Garner and a Holy Meal
'The next time you put on a dinner, don't just invite your
friends and family and rich neighbors. The kind of people who
will return the favor. Invite some people who never get invited
out. The misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. You'll
be---and experience'a blessing. They won't be able to return the
favor, but the favor will be returned. Oh---how it will be
returned!'
Luke 14:12 'The Message' Translation

I've been reluctant to write about the death of Peter Steele, founder of the hugely popular NYC goth band, Type O Negative, primarily because I wanted to make sure it wasn't another faked death.
As I write this, I'm listening to Type O Negative. I've got probably every song they ever recorded and published in my iTunes, and threw it on shuffle just to get a good mix of the new and the old. See, they're one of my favorite bands of all time, and now that it's official that Peter Steele is dead, ...

The 'Body Life'
I titled this the 'Body Life' to contrast it to the traditional
church or home meeting. Christians get fixated on meetings ' the
where, when and how. They can see how the home meeting can be
intimate and participatory but can't imagine how it would work
in a larger meeting.
I would not have believed it if I hadn't experienced it for a
number of years ' meetings with upwards of 200 or 300 people or
more in a large hall that was totally unscripted because the
Holy Spirit was in ...
