Soon to be in one of my hillsong collections - Yahweh

Excited to hear this new CD of Hillsong's...

phoned to ask the bookstore, and it turned out to be their last CD in stock.

Though some of the songs are already in my previous collection,

but it's a LIVE version....and the title surely sounds pretty cool!!

Yahweh

Encyclopedia Version:

the God of the Israelites, his name being revealed to Moses as four Hebrew consonants (YHWH) called the tetragrammaton. After the Exile (6th century BC), and especially from the 3rd century BC on, Jews ceased to use the name Yahweh for two reasons. As Judaism became a universal religion through its proselytizing in the Greco-Roman world, the more common noun Elohim, meaning "god," tended to replace Yahweh to demonstrate the universal sovereignty of Israel's God over all others. At the same time, the divine name was increasingly regarded as too sacred to be uttered; it was thus replaced vocally in the synagogue ritual by the Hebrew word Adonai ("My Lord"), which was translated as Kyrios ("Lord") in the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Old Testament. 

Also, happened to see the Color 2011 Conference info.
so kind of feeling tempted to go.....

It will be in Sydney Mar. 17-19

Simply captured by the ONE LOVE, ONE HEART, ONE SISTERHOOD.

So Beautiful!

One Love – is the love of God. Unashamedly this is about 

the love of God reaching into humanity bringing solution.

One Heart – is one heart beating together, in sync. 

A heart to roll up our sleeves, to not just be aware of 

some of the problems on the earth, but also to be committed 

to do something about it!

One Sisterhood – although it is One Sisterhood, the Sisterhood 

is broad and diverse. It involves women in our own backyard, 

but it also embraces women from far and wide. 

The Colour Sisterhood is a local Sisterhood and a global Sisterhood. 

Sometimes we can be enamoured with the global and foreign fields 

where there is great need, but in reality those fields are "someone’s local". 

Every single one of us has a "local" to be responsible for ... 

And this is a strong message on the conference. 

Yes, we have some strategic God given global partnerships, 

because together we can do more than we can individually... 

BUT we all have local communities full of local needs to pay attention to.
