Its been long!

Wow, I havn't written in a while! Life been busy...

So apparently everyone is now on facebook, and I'm not gonna lie, it is so much better than MySpace!

So what can I tell you, well last nyt at WBC, after the service, the church had a tiem of prayer for Tony and Wayne, both who are suffering with cancer, and both who needed a miricle! The church prayed for them, with passion I havn't seen in our church for a long time, and that time of prayer so sooo rad! And the good news is Tony woke up today without feeling any pain, for the first time since he started experiencing cancer symptoms, how great is God! He is mighty to save and heal!





One thing I think we lack in our SCA's, School's, work places and churches is passion! We need real passion and zeal (Romans 12 v 11) I for one, am so over, waking up everyday, and just troting through another school day, when what we need to pray for is such a genuine ampness. The world is so lost. There is no justice on our earth. Everyday people dig in bins, buy drugs, get drunk...cause they don't have Jesus...yet we apathetic CHristians sit on our bum, and watch It happen! WAKE UP! Guys, the time is over for lazyness, we need to be Jesus' hands and feet in this world! And execute Justice on the earth!

"The time has come to stand for all we believe in, and I for one am gonna give my praise to you!"

How Great!

Hi everyone!

Yay, I'm back holiday! I went to Kruger National Park, and Swaziland, as well as a whole bunch of interesting places! So here are just 10 pictures of my adventure....

The holidays were rad and I think God taught me alot! When we were in Swaziland, we didn't have electricity for 3days! And it just made me realize how blessed we are...we defiantly don't deserve God's blessing...we defy him everyday...yet he still loves us enough to bless us exceedingly!

God just also showed me how great he is...just look out the window, and his glory is revealed!

Another exciting thing is the new Hillsong album is being released in SA on the 27 April! I am so ampted, to say the least...while you're waiting for their album, check out Relient K, they are amazing! And their lyrics are insane!!

L8r!

Big!!

Morning everyone!!

I went down to the Durban beachfront this super early this morning! Pretty much everything was covered in sand! But pictures say a thousand words...so here are some we took:

It pretty overboard! this thing happens every 18 years and is not a result of Global warming or anything, but of a combination of the earths gravity, cycloness and the spring tide! My mom can remember it happening 18 years ago! Only one person has been killed so far...but the waves were pretty big! Wimpy and Steers are totaled (the pictures you see above of the table and broken door were taken inside wimpy!!) and there is a thick laer of sand up to the parking lot!

So if you have time! Go down and have a look! it's super interetesting!

Trash

The Media has so much trash in it nowdays, wherever we look, there is nothing but absolute garbage...

Movie: Fight Club

"...For nearly two and a half hours, Fight Club pummels audiences with brutal violence. There's explicit, callous sexuality. Nudity. Alcohol. Obscene language (over 60 f-words). Teen idol Pitt fights, blows things up, brands a man with acid and crashes into another car ... for thrills. Even putting a gun in one's mouth and pulling the trigger adopts a glamorous veneer..." (from Plugged In Magazine)

Music : My Chemical Romance (Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge)

Do we even have to listen to the CD, the album art reflects a couple with blood all over their faces, the CD also carries a 'parental advisory' label...but when we listen to the CD we find that "...cryptic lines refer to murder, a hearse, forms of capital punishment, the grim reaper, a cold-blooded preacher and vengeance from the grave. Songs such as “Thank You for the Venom” and “To the End” merge death and marriage ...The macabre “I Never Told You What I Do for a Living” is about a serial killer proud of “the bodies I claim and lose.”...an inmate struggling with another man’s homosexual advances (“You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison”). That cut and the appropriately titled “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” use the f-word. .." (source: plugged in magazine)

I could go on forever...bands like blink 182, simple plan, metallica, red hot chilli peppers...lets not even get started on the movies...the thing is we fill our brain with such rubbish and absolute drivel!

Phillipians 4 v 8 commands "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things..."

So ask yourself..are the music and movies that im putting in my brain true, noble ,right...if they are not, what are you going to do about it?

Wuffels

okay for those of you who know wuffels's (my pet sock dog (if u havnt met him-ask me one day!)) he was recently in hospital, but im stokted t o tell you all, he has come out and is much better again! Stokted!

okay so this whole blog thing is cool, but the thing is i really cant spell, so sorry jo (see comment on 5 March) i cant spell...and i dont believe in spell checking!

oh and by the way, the dude with the crazy face in the photo reel (on your right) is my little bro, not me!!!

Anyway I gotta go!

Post l8r!

Fire Fall Down

Okay, so lets start from last week!

Last week was one of the best weeks ive eva had! It was overboard, school work was mellow...finished 7 years of orthodontic treatment...i played in church...and God gave me another oppotunity to led youth worship...aah...it was cool

But what i wanna talk bout it youth worship on friday...not to make myself look good or anything like that...cos really it was all God...but on friday i fully beileave that Westville Youth connected with God like never before...youth started with a stacy (a grade 9 girls') testomony...probably one of the best id eva heard...and then deb gave a altar call, and like 7 people went forward to accept jesus as their lord and savior...without any emotional music...or darkened emo moments...then God led us in worship...worship ive never really experienced before...we sang the song "fire fall down" and God just worked throughth that song overboard...he ended up playing for bout 1hour 45 minutes...the nyt didnt want to end...eventually it did!...

Today i went to say bye bye to my mate ryan wynn (check out his blog at http://ryanwynn.blogspot.com) and im actually so stokted he's going...of couse it's sad he has to leaved westville and us....and all of that...but how cool is it that he's responded to God's calling and is going to study at Hillsong! thats amazing...so im really supa stokted for him!

Anyway...will try and update more often...lemme know if u read this by posting a comment, do 4get to check out MySongs!

Hey There

Hey every, (who bothers to read this!!)

So why havnt I written in such a long time...well caasue ive been on holiday,,,

I went to the berg...and it was super rad just to relex and stuff!!...God worked in my life alot and I even wrote 2 songs (if you want them..email me!) and so that was cool

My uncle (RupertHill) is staying at my house for 2 months...and is the victim of many practicle jokes....we've planted hidden cameras in his room...and all sorts of stuff...so its been really cool!!

Let me tell u one thing i did to him...in the berg I had to share a room with him...so when the lights went out I hit him in the face with a piece of straw...he let out a scream and told me there was a gaint moth in the room...and he turned on the lights and tried to hunt down this moth...the same thing happened 4 bout an hour until he realized it was me (walala 4 him)!!!

If you wanna play a trick on som1 check out this one -
(from internet prank page)

This prank is a laugh-generating machine for you and anyone you share it with. However, this evil joke may ruin your friendship with the person you play the gag on and if they find out you were responsible they may return the favor 10 fold. In many areas of the US, there are free or very cheap publications that one can place ads in to sell almost anything you can think of, from used tires to baby clothes. These publications exist to allow sellers to find buyers who will extend the life on the belongings that may have otherwise been placed in the trash. What if you were to place a fake ad, for one of your friends, in one of these papers? What if the ad was very titillating price wise? If the readership for the paper is large, they will be flooded with phone calls from people looking for a great deal.

When the video game console Nintendo first came out, the arcade toy was fairly expensive and every boy from the age of 11 to 17 wanted to get their hands on one. The problem was that the Nintendo was out of the price reach for most of these youngsters. I decided to place an ad in our local trade publication, The Peddler's Post, for a friend of mine. At the time, a Nintendo cost around $80 and each game ran about $30. The ad that I placed, for my friend Tom, read:

Barely used Nintendo with 4 games, $45. Must sell. Call early mornings and late evenings 555-5555.

Anyone reading the ad would call right away as this posting sounded almost too good to be true (and upon calling they would find out that it was). "What? Sorry, we don't have any Nintendo for sale." Their phone started ringing off the hook. They thought, "what a terrible mistake for someone to have placed the wrong number in the ad paper." After a few days, they had to stop answering the phone and let their voice mail pick up with a message that said the Nintendo was no longer for sale.

hehe!! No, that would be horrible...so I dont recommend u do it to any1!!!

Cya!

7 days on...

Hey Everyone

So why havnt a posted for one whole week?
We'll basically I decided just to fast the internet for 1 week, not that im addicted to it, or anything, but just to givbe it up...so I did...so I never posted...so this might be long...

Okay so this past week (mon to thurs) has been ridicullus, i hav never gone under so much spiritual attack before, satan was really just milking me, trying to get me to stumble before I lead worship on friday, I got physically sick, i got tempted, spiritually i battled it was overboard...but God kept me going...

Worship @ reflex on friday was amazing, the sound was perfect, and more importantly God was glorified and everthing worked PERFECTLY!!! even after a sound check with 10000000 things going wrong...our lead electric guitar player's amp effect setting stoped working...and our sound technition said it was broken...and we really needed those effects to play most of our songs...so as a group we prayed and asked God to fix the amp...and he did...and it worked perfectly...(and still is) we also introduced a new song...the freedom we know (lyrics are below - scrool down) and the guys really took hold of it...so that was cool...so ya it was rad...glory all to God

Saturday was rad...i served as a waitor...for a summer camp fundraiser...it was alot of fun...but cool

Sunday (Today)marked the end of 3 years of Kids ministry...as I taught my grade 7 boys from sunday school for tha last time...next year God has called me to step away from childrens ministry...and concentrate on worship..so im very ampted!!!

My last lesson that I gave to the Gr.7 boys was on worship...so I decided to paste it in here...so you can see waht it was...

Worship

What a rad “last topic’ for me to talk on, it’s something that I am SUPER passionate about and I couldn’t have a better topic to talk about in my last Promiseland lesson…Lets open in prayer…

Okay? Lets go through the basics
What is Worship? A definition I like is a response to the revelation of God, and his glory, whether that response be musically, physically, or the way in which we live our lives, that’s what worship really is!

Okay so there are many different ways of worshiping God…Lets take a look at some of them

Lifestyle Worship (Romans 12 v 1 to 2; Ephesians 4 v 1; 1 Peter 2 v 11)
Yes we all know that worship is a lifestyle, in fact, im sure that you probably have heard it several times, but what does that REALLY mean, what is it to worship God through our lives? Read Colossians 3 v 17, that’s what lifestyle worship is, giving glory to God in everything we do, praising his name through the way we live our lives, picking up our cross, and sacrificing (Mark 8 v 38) Making God stoked through the way we live!

Musical Worship (Psalm 150; Psalm 33 v 3; Psalm 47 v 1; Psalm 87 v 7)
Musical Worship, so many ways of worshipping God, musical worship is just one of them, but why music? Well music is an international language, and it brings amazing unity…But lets look at musical worship more closely

The Words

The words of the songs you sing are VERY important, DON’T sing them if you cant live it out, you need to worship God in Spirit and Truth (John 4 v 24) God desires truthful worshippers (John 4 v 23)

The Music
Its not about the music, whether it be a hymn or a Hillsong United, it doesn’t matter, yes I do prefer loud praise music, but it’s thje WORDS we need to look at, don’t judge a song by music, take a closer look at the WORDS!

Your Worship
People worship God in different ways, some guys like to just sit in silence, some like to jump around and dance, it all depends…but whatever…worship God uninhibited by what others think, become UNDIGNIFIED (2 Samuel 6 v 21 to 22) far to often we are held back but what others think, yes don’t be disrespectful to others but worship in spirit and truth

Other Types of Worship (Colossians 3 v 17)
There are many different OTHER ways to worship God, be creative, here are some practical ways
Drawing
Use your art or graphic design to worship and praise God, just draw something FOR him, and to WORSHIP him
Letters, Poems etc
Use letters and poems etc, to worship God
Songwriting
Write songs or compose songs that glorify God
Walking…
Go for a walk or hike, and worship God for his creation etc

Okay just 4 idea’a and im sure there are MANY more, worship God in everything


So that’s it, my last message to you guys, don’t forget, apply to your lives (James 1 v 22 to 25)…worship is a super important thing…lets make it a priority in our lives

"

okay, so that was my last sunday school lesson...so thanks for reading...

have a rad week...

spot U later!

Cellphones

Hey There…

So how dya like the blog’s new look??? Lemme know…(by commenting on the blog)

There also is not too much traffic on this blog…so spread word about it….anyway

So my mom went to this talk the other day on cellphone’s…did you know cellphones cause cancer and infertility in men…so when your cellphone is on you, it should be off..also sleeping next to an “ON” cellphone is shocking for you, basically what happens is EMF radiation cooks your brain…promoting rapid cell division...cause cancer and tumours…it also cause men to become sterile…scary stuff!!

Cya……
