!!

felt so tired this week!


but today was so happy to see yuan jun and john water baptised!


greater things are ahead!

passing by and..

i saw my neighbour sleeping on the sidewalk at my level....



i asked him why he slept there..



he said he doesn't want to quarrel with his family.



after i helped him to his house... he refused to go in.




i wondered what happened to his famuly. quarrels often echoed out of their house. sometimes shoutings and screamings. well in the past .. my house is often filled with shoutings too.. but for them right now.. their aged father sleeps outside.



i feel kinda bad for him. i met him occasionally day by day. but i hardly knew him.



and everyday... i see many people sleeping in the streets of chinatown.




is there anything that can be done?

i'll follow you and live by faith

just came back from cg.


it's been a pretty great meeting. felt encouraged!


today.. ive been thinking to myself how weak i am. how insignificant iam. but not in a condemning way... that says : i am useless. i am lousy.

its more of thoughts like.. God i cant do this. but You can do it. help my unbelief. there are people i am struggling to communicate to. talking to them makes me feel uneasy. but i know i am place in this relationships for a reason. in work. in cg. and family.


it becomes like the end of me. God is indeedd Good! He is always there...



though all else falls away.. still i'll praise.
It's for Freedom that Christ has set us free..
i live for you .. and not for me anymore
and your mercy is new with everyday.
No longer will i forfeit Grace.. i'll follow you and live by Faith!

life of Grace

im tired today! but thank God.. i m refreshed! tired outside.. but rrrrreeerfresh inside.


this few days... ive been feeling alittle clumsy and blur. i lost some of my personal stuff.. which i really deem as important. :( and work-wise.. seems i keep meeting problems! hmmm am i feeling like this cos of lack of sleep?


hmm..



anyway.. been blessed by today's meeting. When christian takes Holy communion.. it goes more than just renouncing your sins. we partake the power of God... and the life of Jesus with us. Amd i felt God speaking to me.. remember those things you felt ashame of? it's all covered up.



When our lives get busy... it's easy to set our eyes on the cares of the world. but the real hope comes from knowing Jesus is the centre of our lives again. Jesus is. and forever is. our best friend.

thoughts..

cell group ended. im tired. but im glad to see the people.. rejoicing.. and building their altar before God.


i am not perfect.. but i shall continue to stand in the gap. to be a man of God.



test tomorrow!!!

Conformity or not?

Here are 2 videos study the nature of human to submit to peer pressure. and conform to your group! This is the power of group influence!

These are some of the videos shown in my ESAP (elements of sociology and psychology) class. it's pretty interesting. but yet sometimes i struggle to stay awake in class!

Indeed - whether we like it or not.. we provide certain form of impact or influence to people around us. and a place of a agreement is a place of power!

reflections #101

i am proud of my CG!! :) cos i know they are trying their best to be pillars of the group. but more importantly .. they are great people with great attitude..



there are certain days i feel like carrying big hammers to knock at people's head..



there are days i feel like burying my head underwater (sand alil too hot) .. cos of my blunders and mistakes..



there are days where i feel that God... if you don't come through.. i don't know what to do!!



these are e days of cell group leadership. in usher .. i had my experience. welcome to cg ministry again Jason. it's so different... but it's great! I am so excited :D :D :D

You've been a good apprentice to me, a part of my teaching, my manner of life, direction, faith, steadiness, love, patience, troubles,sufferings—suffering along with me in all the grief I had to put up with in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. And you also well know that God rescued me! Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ is in for a lot of trouble; there's no getting around it. Unscrupulous con men will continue to exploit the faith.

2 Timothy 3:10

back from..

back from Nigel and Louise's wedding! the place (raffles marina) is beautiful. the food was good. and most of all - im honoured to be their guitarist for their wedding... :) took alot of pics today.. sadly i miss my 2 dear frens' wedding ... errrrr SOT graduation ..


im alil tired. had been along long day.


blessed. thank God.

Professional Faith is Faith ?

Does knowing more of something makes you a better Christian ? What is professional
Christianity? And what is Christianity about ?


i think through time... we (that includes me) lose the focus of God .. the focus of where to go in our lives.. and we are unseemingly 'suck' into the roller coaster of life.


Is Christianity that dead ?? Sometimes we talk about faith as if there is nothing we can expect from the supernatural... from God. We talk about faith as a formula. its a substance of things hoped for. it is .... trust in God. it is ....


what is faith ?


why do you even bother coming to church ? or attend CG ?


cos the CGL ask you to ?


Why do you serve God ?


What is the meaning of cell group and the body of Christ to you ?


what is a high-flyer Christian ? a very succesful man that won praises ?


topics like this seems to flood my mind now and then. Are we getting the right focus?




Jesus said 2 words. " Follow me."

then he followed and say - I will make you fishers of men.

Follow Him. it's hard to miss Him. cos He has big footprints.

everything else is just ... sinking sand.

Giving Thanks

Despite all that happens.. could you give thanks in everything ??


it's a wow thing cos it's not easy. but yet this is what the word of God reveals. In thanksgiving.. we acknowledge God and his power.


Pastor says that dilligence is produced through thanksgiving. joy runneth over. and you are flooded with a covering of Grace like never before. Giving thanks despite you feel life is like a vacuum cleaner. when ya down on the pit. when you meet people who u feel like sticking 2 fingers in their eyes.


Give thanks!! cos God is good. and He will forever be.

Beautiful
