Why did you become a Christian?
Attending a small meeting one evening, the Holy Spirit's conviction was so strong, I knew this was my time.

Favourite Bible verse
Jeremiah 29:11-13

What is currently your favourite song?
My favourite song changes from week to week, but
recently the golden oldies have been resurrected in my soul by the Holy Spirit, eg. ‘I Love You Lord and I Lift My Voice', ‘Jesus, Jesus, Holy and Anointed One.'

Tell of how worship can help you through a difficult time.
Worshipping God becomes more vital when you are going through a tough time, when worshipping becomes a real sacrifice on your part. Remember God has already broken through for you on your behalf. Many times we need the Holy Spirit to open our spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear Him working for us. Worshipping when we find it difficult releases our faith to believe God is all powerful and is interested in everything we do!

There is no doubt in my mind that we should be exuberant in our worship. Clearly our bodies mirror our spirits. In times of joy and thanksgiving, of intense need, how can we not clap our hands, praise God out loud and reach out to Him passionately. Through times of hardship, trials, and troubles, some folk do find release and take a bold step of faith.

If you don't press into God in worship, how can you press into an intimate relationship with Jesus? What better place to pursue the Lover of your soul than in church together. What better way to encourage others in front or behind you, than for them to actually hear you praising with all your heart. Likewise it's also true when you hear others. It fuels your soul, sets you on fire, ignites a passion within you. Don't let the fire go out!!
