The Pattern of Worship

As it says in the verses, our worship is a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven.

It makes us think of our 'system of worship' existent in our church nowadays,

Usually we start with an upbeat, lively praise song to gather all the believers or ready their hearts. Then we go for an in between song where it transitions from the fast to a more mellow worship song. Then we go to the last song which is much solemn and slower in pace. Here the worship leader starts to exhort.

Did I just describe your pattern of worship in church?

Yeah, it might seem common and we must admit that's how it is with us right now, but is it the same as the shadow or copy of the real one in heaven?

Where we are right now in our worship services is not a bad thing but we must all be very careful like what God said in the next line which was spoken by God as a warning and a command at the same time.

“Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”[b]

Here lies the answer to the question asked above. We will only know that pattern when we see (even experience it as Moses did in the mountain of Sinai) as God has shown on the mountain.

Many scholars said that mountain is a representation of Prayer as Jesus confirms it because whenever He prays. He ususally slip out and go to the mountains. Mountain also speaks of revelation.

Our pattern of worship whether it is similar to what I just described above, it should be based on what we have seen in our personal prayer life, on the mountain of God where we also have a personal encounter with God. Lastly, it should be a reflection of what is revealed to us in the Word of God.

Missing someone(s) right now. So I'll write right now. Di mo man ako pansinin, Ibaliwala ang pagsuyo at pagtingin, Basta huwag mo laging kalimutan, Ikaw ay nasa aking mga panalangin. Di kita tatantanan o bibitawan, Makita ko lang ang inaasam na pagbabago. Mawala na ang inyong lumang pagkatao, At maghari ang Buhay ni Kristo! Ngayong araw, ikaw ay nasa aking mga dasal, Alam mo man o Hindi, Ako'y nananabik para sa iyo. Hanggang sa makita kang muli. Sa aking harap at sa iyong tabi. English Translation: You might not notice me now, Don't mind my persuasion and affection. Just don't always forget, You are always in my prayers. I will not leave you alone or let you go, Until I finally see the change for you I've longed for. That your old you be gone, And see the life of Christ in you! Today, You are in my prayers, You might know or not, I am longing for you, Until I finally see you again. Face to face and by your side.

“Restless? Be STILL”

See the picture? That’s our University field. It’s so vast for me even I’ve seen it almost my whole life. Growing up inside the campus, growing up seeing all of these for 22 years, I still never get use to these. Masarap mag senti sa mga lugar na ito. Maaliwalas, tahimik at malawak- kasing lawak ng imagination ko. Peace. Lately, I’ve been struggling with peace. Heart. Mind. Body. Soul. Whenever I see this vastness I would dream again. That God would fill this with so many young people that will worship Him, give their lives to Him. And you know what? It excites me. And scares me. It makes me happy. And makes me nervous. Maybe it’s just really part of my personality. As Kabacan Ministry is taking off- Sunday services and open cells, my list of goals and dreams also increases. It’s not a bad thing- having goals are all important so that you would know if we really are progressing. “But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.” Phil3:16. Since all of these are happening,
