Word and Life are privilege and blessed with opportunities to spread the gospel through South Africa with passionate praise and worship and to allow God to do what only He can do. The promise is not that we will feel great or that our heavy load will be lifted, but that God will come. And when God comes in his own time as a response to our worship, Psalm 96:13 declares, "Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness."
