    God is Good indeed!

    Hi there! I requested for prayer when I had my lung lobectomy on 27 November and PRAISE GOD that everything went well! I still can't believe that when I opened my eyes after regaining consciousness (approx 2-3 hours after surgery), I didn't feel like I had been through any trauma at all (even...

    I don't know..... There's got to to be some sort of praise and worship in Heaven as we speak....

    Need to know your opinions!

    Wow! Thanks for your opinions on John MacArthur everyone! I also have noticed that he's a little too glib (smooth talking?) and it's easy to be impressed by that side of his eloquence/mastery of using and manipulating words etc to be taken in! I'll keep all your responses in mind as I continue...

    Yeah, I get you! Actually, as I am replying to responses to my original post, I just came up with this : What will music in Heaven really sound like? I'm sure it'll be like nothing we construe as earthly music!

    The 'good old days' of well-loved hymns are gone? What's your take on this?

    I totally agree, but what I didn't mention clearly enough in my original post is that a lot of the 'cool' church worship 'bands' use this stage (literally and figuratively) as a platform to show off their chops i.e. who can play the fastest using 'off-chords' and strange-sounding derivatives of...
