Shine Music Conference 2011

‘SHINE’ is an annual, non-denominational music conference designed to equip & encourage Christian singers, musicians and technical volunteers.  Pastors will also find the day most valuable. Each year St Paul’s Castle Hill hosts a guest speaker and professional workshop leaders to help build us up in Christ & to develop the gifts that God has given us.

I really like the work that St Paul’s are doing with their music ministry.

Check out their website for more details and for online rego.

OK Go – End Love – Official Video

OK Go make creative film clips. Here’s one. Here’s another. And another still:

Tech specs:

“The fastest we go is 172,800x, compressing 24 hours of real time into a blazing 1/2 second. The slowest is 1/32x speed, stretching a mere 1/2 second of real time into a whopping 16 seconds. This gives us a fastest to slowest ratio of 5.5 million. If you like averages, the average speed up factor of the band dancing is 270x. In total we shot 18 hours of the band dancing and 192 hours of LA skyline timelapse – over a million frames of video – and compressed it all down to 4 minutes and 30 seconds! Oh and don’t forget, it’s one continuous camera shot.”

Before the Throne of God Above

In my Zechariah 3 sermon this weekend, I quoted from the 1863 hymn Before the Throne of God Above. Here is a link to the sermon. Check out the video of the song in full:

Here’s the bit I quoted:

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.

Amen.
