sound levels and stuff – sounds fun!

People were more partying for the party then singing along to a screen.

Luke 15 tells me that we’ve got a pretty good reason to party!! maybe we should party (in Jesus and for his glory) more often for the sake of partying! it will help our singing.

Also, the singing related to who was performing, so I don’t think Sound Relief singing to Church singing can be directly transferred otherwise there is the danger that our church would be more for the band and not the purpose.

don’t take my analogy too far!! i think that’s the exact point – it’s not about the performer, but about JEsus!

this is from a mate’s twitter this morning
wonders why Xns aren’t as enthusiastic singing at church as they are at Coldplay concerts and what that says about our view of Jesus vs. Chris Martin

So I only got an hour in the mosh pit. I found that the live stream from MCG really wasn't that great. People were more partying for the party then singing along to a screen. I think there is some exceptions for using the screen. Also, the singing related to who was performing, so I don't think Sound Relief singing to Church singing can be directly transferred otherwise there is the danger that our church would be more for the band and not the purpose. Relying on spiritual waves of emotion coming from the band then the inner passion for the greater meaning behind the singing. Although i do agree that an inadequate band in church can be a real song killer :p. But I am just as emotionally involved in an powerful Hymn played plainly as a COC praise chorus.

The singing was awesome, and there I think, something to do with singing for a purpose. We sing to praise God, which is why we sometimes think that ''non-Christians'' don't do group singing. Yet, Saturday was a day of purpose. For the audience, the MCs pushed the idea very hard and repetitively that we were singing as Australians, as mates helping out other mates, as a family. This is something I think that Gen Y is crying out for, and this is something that Sound Relief supposedly provided. "I still call Australia home" just about sums up the vibe of the event...
