Loud Fest 2009

Every year, our youth group would join the rest of the youths from other churches all over Singapore in the annual Loud Fest Conference (previously known as Ignite) to be ministered by various speakers.

It is a time where youths get rejuvenated and passionated in praise and worship, as well as be inspired and ministered by the Word.

I must admit that this year, I had a different attitude and expectation when I headed down for the last session of Loud Fest 2009.

This year, I felt like I was too "old" for this sort of rowdy atmosphere. In fact, I wasn't used to the new style of songs which I felt were too "rockish" for my ears. To sum it all, you could so I was more of a spectator than a participator.

It's sad to admit, and honestly, I'm not proud to be a spectator. To my defense, I did try singing along, but I find myself looking at the screen and the words more than really worshipping and praising Him.

Fortunately, the message by Pastor Glyn awaken my mind to realize that truly, God doesn't care about different styles. He cares about the church. Simply put, some might like the song 'Amazing Grace' in the original hymnal style, but I like it played in Blues while others might like it played in Rock. But does it matter what preference one might have as long as the content and the meaning of the song still blesses our inner man?

With this in mind, the ending praise and worship session was easier for me to focus and participate along.

All in all, I am glad that I made it for Loud Fest 2009. I could have easily gave this a miss but I took the step and went ahead. Needless to say, I was blessed and now I know, that I am really not too old for this after all :)
