"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Not going to FOP!

I remember my first FOP in 1990. The Worship Leader was some unknown fella and the stadium was only 3/4 filled. Then later when Bob Fitts and Hillsongs came, the stadium is always filled! That is why I give it a miss for the past few years. All the hypestry is making me sick. The last of such even was the National overnight prayer meeting at the Indoor Stadium in 97. That was something. There was no hype, just local pastors and the Trinity Christian Centre band leading worship. That was something! The people there were really going for it!

I mean if u get blessed, it's cool, but not for me. Since FOP is always on National Day time, why don't we have local worship leaders. Then we see if people will still flock to the stadium as a body of Christ to worship and seek his face! If there is queue at stadium just to really pray for revival without delirious, hillsongs, then I'll join in the queue with those serious Jesus Freaks! I believe this year is going to be so overly hyped that the music will just carry the people over. I do hope I am wrong.

I am a huge fan of Delirious and Hillsongs, but for an event like FOP. God should be the foucs followed by our nation. And they can invite me to sing anytime! If I go to FOP this weekend, I will definitely be affected because of my presumption. I feel very strongly about it.

Do I not want revival? May be this will be it? Do u think so? Do u really think so? Benny Hinn said Revival will come to Singapore, well I believe that, not because Benny said so, but because other believers and I pray for it! Benny Hinn prophecised in 1990 that in that decade, God will destroy all the homosexuals in the US. See what had happened since. Does that make him a false prophet? Did I make that up? I heard it myself from a audio recording of him saying it! Why do I suddenly talk about him since he is not going to be at FOP? Well, Do u know who are in the FOP committee??

I rest my case...

i think the festival of praise is a great idea... u know, i've always felt the worship itself should be evangelistic too, in the sense that people should see, and sense a difference when we worship. anyway, that's not the point. I'm not against FOP at all, and am for it; but, like yourself, i wonder what's the focus.

I don't have anyhting against Delirious or Hillsongs either, and, i do believe that God has blessed their ministries so that they might be better equipped to write songs and music that minister to both God and to each other.

Ok, I've basically gone one big round to say i agree with you.

Maybe, for once, we should have FOP flyers without any notice of who's leading that night :) hehe

hmm i just go there n see the hype!

but i think so far, i dont get how ppl frm that certain place invites ppl by pestering.

my non-believer bro got pestered by his girl classmate to go. two in fact.
makes me wonder.
then again, my bro is the sort who knows how to distingutiate... somewhat...

yup FOP is great - imagine everyone we'll see in heaven soon coming together to worship collectively as the family of God! awesome!
but then, there's always marketing n erm u know...
