Songlist for Asian Worship

I’m really excited about Converge. After months of planning, we are nearly there and I’m getting to do what I love the most: working together with the band! And I’m excited to be working together with a great team of friends from different churches all of whom are not only skilled musicians, but also have […]

Five Years of Total Awesomeness

Five years today, I married the love of my life and my best friend. It’s been an incredible journey so far. It all started on 5 May 2007 (well, at least our marriage did; our relationship started well before that) at the Fremantle Town Hall. We wanted a wedding where worshipping God was the focus. […]

Blessings Reel – April 2012

It’s amazing to think that a third of the year has just flown by. And not just any year, but the Year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. I like the idea of fruitfulness, because it has got nothing to do with what you do and what you can achieve; rather it has to do with where you […]

Defining Worship Part 2

Today, I want to finish up what I started a month ago when I introduced Harold Best’s definition of worship in my post Defining Worship. In that post, I extracted Best’s definition, being that worship is “the continuous outpouring of all that I am, all that I do, and all that I can ever become […]

The One Heart, One Voice Flyer is Out

Check out the official flyer for One Heart, One Voice. If you are in Perth, bring your team, church, cell group, family and friends and join us in lifting up the Name of Jesus over our city and the nations!

God’s Security in His Own Sovereignty

Here’s a brief thought: God is sovereign. And God is secure in His own sovereignty. He is so secure in His own sovereignty that He is not afraid of appearing unsovereign. Which is why He gives us free will to choose, knowing that He’s the best choice you and I could ever make. You could […]

Converge 2012 – One Heart, One Voice

It’s been a pretty full-on couple of months for me helping out with the Converge organising committee. Never in my life would I have thought that I’d be trying to bring in worship teams from all over the city for the one purpose of exalting the name of Jesus over our City. There have been […]

Sometimes Bossanova Just Happens: Lessons from Your Worst Nightmare

I love this clip of Martin Smith leading worship, because it goes to show that no worship leader is immune from the silliest of mistakes: I remember one time when I was leading worship and we had just transitioned into the song “At the Cross”. As we started singing, it was clear to me that […]

Asian Worship

A few years ago, my then drummer Samson Tan said to me “it’s about time the church started singing Asian worship songs”. I had previously listened to albums by City Harvest Church and New Creation Church, but never really taken to them. But since Sam suggested it, I thought I’d indulge him and we started […]

Authenticity Attracts

Here is another brilliant thought from Pastor Benny Ho’s sermon yesterday at Faith Community Church: Authentic people attract. Weird people distract. And he was talking about the church! I think we’ve all seen our fair share of weird Christians. I certainly have, especially because in most of my early years growing up in the church, […]
