about God and spiritual things
so what is with "festival victoria"
none of my friends have posted on this yet
so i figured i had better get in
before they do
i was just looking at the "youth"
section on the website
which they did a pretty good job with
the website that is
now sure it is great!!!!
when people choose to follow Jesus
(i hope that's what they will tell them at this event
that you don't just get to have a relationship wih God
but that you get to follow him
and choose to follow his will
which you may find can be a bit different
to what you want to do sometimes)
but it is even better they
keep on choosing to follow him
everyday
including the one after all the hype and excitement
that is just one of my dislikes of huge 'evangelistic' events
cause often out of the 500-?000 people who go "down the front"
only what i would imagine would be a much smaller percentage
would actually get followed up and become followers of Jesus
and the rest just get confused or hurt
so the other thing is
friday night is the youth night of festival victoria
and this is the line up
The Katinas
an r'n'b group you may know if u like r'n'b and "christian music"
Nicole C. Mullen
is a pop singer who is big in the "christian music scene"
mainly populer in the USA though
Marina Prior
a singer and apparently she does theatre too
you would know her if you religiously watch the Myer Music Bowl Carols
Roma Waterman
is a pop/folk singer i would say
has played plenty of "christian concerts" and supported many
more famous christian acts
you may like her if in my opinion
you are my mum or dad or of similar age
Franklin Graham
oh can't forget this guy
or his father Billy at least
alot of christians probably don't even know who he is
other than that he is Billy Graham's son
so if u are someone who likes r'n'b, pop, or folk music
or old guys who have famous fathers
and are more so between the ages of 21 and 50
why not go along to this great? youth event?
i mean hey if i thought it was a great idea to run an event
i think i would have got
Antiskeptic
Sounds Like Chicken
Head - from Korn
Andy Hunter
Rhubarb
Tonjip
Crossmovement
P.O.D.
U2
and other cool bands/groups/artists who play more than just "christian gigs"
set up in a Big Day Out kinda set up
ie many stages with diff bands and music genres
have some cool Aussies speak if we had people speaking like
John Smith - God Squad (christian bikers)
Michael Frost - a great communicator and real good aussie bloke
and other people who could like just share stories about God from their lives
and maybe there could like be a big forum on spirituality and faith
and also on compassion and justice
and what really is life all about?
there could be like an art section
for people to do big collages and murals
there could be like a sports section too
with like basketball, football (A-League round ball), football (AFL oval ball), Cricket, netball and whatever
there could be a cars section too
a show 'n' shine, sound off, a dyno, drag race
also an eXtreme section with skateboarding, inline skating, bmx, dirt bikes ....
and i suppose we could shove in the corner somwhere a rodeo kinda thing
and a whatever else too
or maybe i would just go to the
Big Day Out
Auto Salon
A-League match
AFL match
Rugby League
Globe World Cup
Melbourne Art Museum
Denny Ute Muster
or whatever else you might be into
with the intent of building better relationships with people
and making opportunities to talk to them
about God and spiritual things

I would like to say stuff about Festival Victoria, but I had probably better not.

With Chris on that. I think u mite have heard what I have 2 say already. It's not uplifting.
I think ur second option is better. AS far as bringing people to understanding who Jesus is, and even the challange to follow him - y not use what's already there? See I reckon making a big event even if it's "relevant" is sort of lying, and tricking people. People like events and stuff but there are already plenty of them done way better than I'd do them probably. Do I'd rather just go there, with my friends who r into whateva the thing is. Evangelism (I reckon) doesn't happen @ events. It happens between people, it's a long distance event, not a sprint. That's what I reckon.
BTW I like folk music - Roma isn't my type of folk, if that's what she is. Not to dis her @ all, just clearing that up incase ppl who like folk reckon they mite like her.

Yeah folk can be really cool, Roma is more pop than folk though

folk isn't "cool". I like it. They're two very different things

err...
coolness is so relative!
so if it is "cool" to some group of people then it is so "cool"!

Uncool is the new cool.
And I got a haircut today, for the first time in 2.5 years.

I must correct myself in that saturday night was actually the youth night for it, but the line up still wasn't that great anyways, Guy Sebastian is still only one bloke and can't make up for the rest.

I would like to add that someone i know who went really didn't think to much of it and i can't say i have heard any great reports on it either, so what did happen to the $1.8 mill spent on this event and was the money used wisely?
