goodnight!

Standing in awe of Your grace
Setting my feet in Your ways
Entering into Your presence
To behold You face to face

God of all Heaven and earth
Holding me in Your embrace
Unfailing love that surrounds me
Oh..God I stand amazed

Chorus
My Jesus, My Lord
You're the love of my life
Wherever You go
Wanna be by Your side
No longer I
But Christ living in me
Serving You for all eternity

My eyes set on You
In this race that I run
No longer my ways
Let Your will be done
Make me a servant
My heart's ever true
Clinging to the cross
I'll follow You
I'll follow you


dearest E410.

don't know if anyone will even read this.
but still, i had this suddenly wanting to blog. (:

we're left with 3 more months before 2008 ends.
but i believe we can end 2008 with a blast.
and whether we will, that depends on how willing we are to serve God's kingdom.

He is not only our God.
He is also our Father in Heaven.
and serving in His Kingdom, it should not be a burden.
but a love.

would you want the company that the world can give,
the company that strangers can give,
or the company that our Father will give?

jiayou! my e410!

as promised, here! =D

1st day of FOP!: Ingredients to a healthy church.

Heyyo! FOP was fantastic! Right people? =D

My hardest paper was ytd. So finally! I can blog!

I believe some of you have missed at least 1 day's sermon.
But have no fear!
I shall now type out the sermons for all 3 days.
Do look at it and reflect. (:

Day1 (Friday)
Title: Ingredients to a healthy church.

Acts 9:31

Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit; it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord.

• Acts was written by a man named Luke.
• In this verse, Luke didn't write about the programs that the church had. Instead, he talked about the atmosphere of the church.

4 Ingredients

1) Peace.
Peace = Harmony.
Peace ≠ tension, etc.

• In the beginning, man had peace with God.
• When both Adam and Eve left the garden, God could have said “Forget it!”
• But He didn’t.
• He still wants to have peace with us.
• He sent a redeemer.

A) Not only do we need to have peace with God. We also need to have the peace of God.

B) We also need to have peace with one another.
Rom 12:18

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

2) Encouragement
Encouragement = to build each other up.

A) Look in the good in others. And communicate!
• To affirm.
*encouragement is oxygen for the soul!

B) Help.
Help = to see the potential and to speak into this potential.
When we encourage others, use “are”, and “can become”.
Do not use “used to be”.

C) Adjust. Speak the truth in love
• Weakness that others have.
• the sooner you know of your weakness, the sooner you will solve it!

3) Comfort.
Comfort = to come alongside someone when he/she is going through difficult times.
• God often use people to comfort us.

**Reminder! In Getting Started lesson 9, we learn that we need encouragement to grow spiritually.
Hebrews 10:24 (Phillips)

Let us think of one another and how we can encourage each other to love and do good deeds.

4) Fear of God.
Psalm 5:10

God, show that they are guilty.
Let their evil plans bring them down.
Send them away because of their many sins.
They have refused to obey you.

• Obedience is the ultimate act of worship!

E410! let's apply all this points in our lives alrye! =D
ok, i'll blog about the 2nd and 3rd day tmr. or when i'm back at night.
got to go for school alr! X)

hey e410! let's learn to balance our lives well yea, and not be 50%full. but 100%full! =D
and also! let's yearn for more of God in our lives! =D

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'
"You'll never win"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again "boy, you'll never win!
"You'll never win"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

GOGOGOE410!!! X)

In This Race We Run

I'm back! So after this long break I shall try to give CPR to this blog once again. Everytime I blog, I fear being theologically unsound or typing something superficial. Then I dread Annie/Marc calling me to scold me for not paying attention during Bible study or sermons. I also pray that what I type won't be responsible for backsliding and loss of faith. But most importantly, I hope that this thing actually makes sense. Without further ado, I shall blog about a topic I spent a little time discussing about not too far back! Already this post is starting to sound unsound >.< style="font-weight: bold;">will be similarly tested in other areas of our lives, I'm sure we've all felt taken for granted on previous occasions. As I write this, a thought came to me: Maybe we should NOT appreciate others in order to help strengthen and help them grow without dependence on friends! Then I remembered V likes to thank people in her blog (if you can find it) , and that she's always right, so I shall follow her and either be correct or drag her down >.< ord ="D" style="font-weight: bold;">Annie - For leading the cell group! You scold a lot, but we all know that deep down you really care for us! For helping us grow spiritually and character-wise, Thanks!

Venis - For all the support and encouragement, for helping the old e410 so much and helping to bond us together, Thanks!

Glenda - For being a great connect group leader, encouraging and organising and msging us to help check logistics, and for delicious cheesecake, Thanks!

Liyun - For also helping out with planning and stuff, for the baking and birthday cakes, and for bringing joy to the cell group, both figuratively and literally (unfortunately), Thanks!

Shiying - For all the encouragement and QT inspirations! Tabernacle Prayer woo! Your constant fire for God is infectious and inspiring, Thanks! For being eeyore-fan, you get another Thanks!

Serene - For being the artistic genius and brining creativity to a bunch of deadpan guys - Your Christmas notebook is super nice! Until now i still can't bear to use it yet, Thanks! (Jia You for guitar k! Down Down Up, Up Down Up!)

Wendy - The youngest girl in the cg, but not the most immature! =p You bring life, fun and laughter to the cell, but please stop learning from liyun! Thanks!

Lileng - We were worried about the new members, but you and Linn have really fitted in nicely! Thanks for taking the initiative to organise stuff like dinners and meeting-ups, and for the encouragement and gogogos! Thanks!

Linn - New connect group leader! Read first half of Lileng's comment, I'm lazy to retype =/ For the herbal tea and concern and stuff, Thanks!

*Breathes* For the guys:

Aaron - Feels weird calling you that. Anyway thanks for the concern and stuff, in true BEST FRIEND fashion I shall just say "You know what I thank you for," Thanks!

Junwei - Fellow Jun! Haha thanks for the long convos over msn when I was spiritually down, and the encouragement and common sense you seem to throw at people as you display your maturity and beard. Beard was last time, the rest still sticks. Thanks!

Kelvin - King! Thanks for opening up my eyes to the world of investment, money making and stuff haha. Until now I still remember the OPM and OPT thingy, among others! Thanks!

Raymond - Thanks for helping out and doing stuff for the cg with your sister! Especially the camp stuff! You show that age isnt a factor, Thanks!

GS - Thanks for all the army banter and stories with zs and jw, really passes the time and it's fun. Also thanks for ORDing after me and being stay in so I appreciate my vocation more =x Thanks!

Renxuan - Thanks for letting me kill you in DOTA and get farmed! Thanks for the bold breakdancing during camp to salvage our performance! For being cool and stuff, and not like your sister, you get Thanks!

Sean - Thanks for teaching me how to hammer-on for my guitar! For all the technical help and stuff, for the concern when I was sick that time, Thanks!

Matthew - Thanks for being super funny! Haha you have the funniest comments along with the presentation. Thanks!

Ok I shall stop now, record-length post! And my regular still refuses to go home. But that's the end of this post, I wanna go Youtube.

What to Do After Reading This:
1) Think and be inspired
2) Comment
3) Comment again if step 2 less than 50 words long

I realised the most sian (uninteresting) thing about this is that most of the comments probably won't be read by the person mentioned. But then, what is done in secret, the Father will reward me. So I'm covered. Woo!
