Here's yet another powerful testimony from our brothers and sisters at Hillsong Church. I know that they put on great productions and all that. Some people may say they think its too much or that it leads to people's walk with Christ to amount to nothing more than singing and being emotional, and neglecting all the other things we're called to as followers of Him. Though I think there is a danger that people could just get into the "happy clappy" worship services without really worshipping and not doing anything else in regards to living for Christ, I don't think that is where Hillsong is coming from. Just in the making of their last CD/DVD album, some of these leaders and singers have gone through incredible trials and yet the glory is going to God, and I believe that this is praise and worship founded on the Rock, not something that is fluffy and shallow. Check out this testimony, it will probably make you cry, and then consider the words to the song that follows, "All of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship." Consider the weight of those words when coupled with Jill's testimony, consider the worth of our God who receives that kind of offering and praise in the midst of a most devastating loss.

Hey Jesse,
I just wanted to say thank you for posting these videos. The other night I was having a hard night. Lately I've been going through this phase where I just want to rebel and turn away from God and let go of everything. But God used these videos and a sermon I listened to of a memorial servce for one of my professors that passed away. God isn't letting me let go of Him and as annoying as that can be sometimes when I just want to run. It's so amazing that He never lets go of me.
Just something I've been learning this week, and the testimonies on these videos reminded me that it's okay to feel certain ways because a relationship with God isn't perfect because I'm not. There will be hard times, but even still He is always there.
