Sing Praise

Music. One of the most powerful languages on earth. It's a language that everyone can speak mindless of where you are from. Together people from all around the world can sing praises to God and lift up his name on high.

Psalm 150:
Praise the LORD.

Praise God in His sanctuary;
   praise Him in his mighty heavens.
Praise Him for his acts of power;
   praise Him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet,
   praise Him with the harp and lyre,
praise Him with timbrel and dancing,
  praise Him with strings and pipe,
praise Him with the clash of cymbals,
  praise Him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD

Praise the LORD.

There is so much that we have reason to praise the Lord for and as Psalm 150 says, music and musical instruments are such a great way that we can express this praise and joy for His wondrous works.

How are you singing praises to God today?

Mentoring

I haven't posted on here in a very long while. I don't have any sort of excuse for that, it's just happened but I do think that maybe I should take this up again. I should start spending more time meditating on Gods word and also sharing my thoughts, it helps me process what I read a bit better.

Just now I read an article published in the Reformed Perspective, a magazine published in Canada that we get here a month or two after the publishing date. The article itself was on the topic of mentoring. 

As younger members of the church and society, we have access to a lot of information. Information that we can gain via a quick google search, or by spending time soaking up the incredibly informative information found on Wikipedia. Information is at out finger tips, but this information doesn't always help us in our walk of life. 

The article, written by Michael J. Schout and titled Be Mentored, emphasises the necessity of turning to others who are more experienced in their faith and more mature, spending time with them an learning form them. It was a really great article and I suggest that if you can get your hands on it have a read of the wisdom that it has to offer. 

Reading the fine print at the end of the article now, it was originally published in The Outlook (which can be found at www.refromedfellowship.net) in the Novermber/December edition hopefully that can help you find it.
