Hillsong Conference 2007

I was in Sydney for a week attending the Hillsong Conference 2007. It was the most intense spiritual experience in my life. The five-day conference filled the 21,000-seater Acer Arena with delegates from 69 countries. I was with some of my friends from ICC Church, the Foursquare church I attend here in Australia.

I was greatly inspired and moved by the powerful sermons of Bishop T.D. Jakes and Pastor Joseph Prince. I listened in awe of Louie Giglio's indescribable presentation on the majesty of God. All week, I sung loudly and shouted praises to God I almost lost my voice. On the stage, Chris Tomlin, the Hillsong United, Reuben Morgan, Israel Houton and the Watoto Children's Choir led everyone to their feet -- dancing, clapping, singing and shouting their praises.

It was such an awesome experience! Anyone who thought Christianity is boring should go to Hillsong. I went home last night tired and sleepy from the week-long activity but feeling much blessed, very happy, spiritually recharged and on fire with the love of/for God. Waking up after lunch today from my long slumber, I realized quite sadly that I am back to my old familiar surroundings. And as I am writing this, I am once again sitted in front of my computer in my cubicle at the office just finished updating the ANCORS website, which I manage. My Hillsong experience taught me that our lives on earth are short and we are made to worship God. Life is tough and temptations lurk at every corner but our God is powerful and bigger than anything we can ever imagine. His majesty is beyond any words I could ever weave. And with that, I end this entry with a loud shout of halleluyah!
