Gentle Faith

During my wk in camp, i had a conversation with sum of my platoon mates about religion. and yes. they are super surprised im from chc. alot of hoohaas there.

Anyway, they were very skeptical about why we do the things we do, and im glad i had the chance to talk to them about it and hopefully change some of their mindset.

Anyway the most impt thing that i actually wanted to mention is that they told me how i noe God is God? Does He speaks to us at all like "HELLO IM GOD."

So I told them my story near 4 yrs back, when I am too doubting whether God is there or not. I had many worries at that time, parental objection, my own struggles. It was my very first experience, i didn't know how, i didn't know wad to do.

I just told God this,

"If you're God. Show me."

After awhile, it just started raining. A gentle refreshing rain.

I was happy back then.

Some might say it's coincidence and all, but that day was the day i BELIEVED in a lil thing call FAITH. Back then, im such a young believer, i even rmb it was Howard taking me den, but my faith was the strongest den. I BELIEVE so.

I just wanna tell everybody, that in times of crisis and problems, sometimes all we rly need is to ask God, and believe. I know as people gets older, they grow skeptical of things that they will dismiss off as coincidence. But aren't we a whole lot mature now den we were younger? Have we not experience God more den we did in the past? So why is it so hard to believe now? in this lil thing call faith?

Even now in army, there are many times i will lift my burden up to Him, and when i reached the camp it always somehow settled by itself. When i tink about it, His promises always holds true. We just need to open our eyes and start looking at what He has done for us. So guys, i leave you a verse that i hold firm lately in my heart.

Psalms 15:25
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

So come on guys, let not the weary stop in their tracks, but all the more tries his/her best to refresh others so that they can too be refreshed! be the vessel of your life

TO JED! TO E410!

i was very touched when i saw ur post.

u've been good. it's already very encouraging for someone to say all these. u've been good. really.

jiayou jed! we have faith in u!

we're left w 3 more months! ure still a good brother. u may be at somewhere else, but so long we flow tgt and i knw we're all flowing tgt, ure not far away. (:

E410!, i'm really happy to be part of this wonderful cg.
let's be a cg that is so united, to be like minded, to run this race tgt.
and let's continue to encourage one another.


our church is not perfect,
our pastors are not perfect.
our zone is not perfect,
our subzone is not perfect.
our leaders are not perfect,
we are not perfect.

but our God is a perfect God. (:




I believe, In the power of Your name,
I believe, In the promise of faith,
I believe, In the love of a God,
Jesus my Saviour, I believe, I believe.



p.s. junwei! i'm trying my best to keep this blog alive! X)X)

EH MY 2ND TIME!

hello everybody. and ty lileng. i saw the post. =)

Ty ly for the brownies. lovely. ty v for the syrup.

Ty yesheng for the chocolates. (haha all of u all want to make me gain weight rite?! muz be a conspiracy by jc!)

ty the da polo tee. Lovely, im wearing on sun. So jc pls dun wear on sun. LOL!

Anyway, i thought i should say this. (4.07am)

I know i haven been a gd brother this year. Like some have told me. U all seen me rise so high and fallen down so low. Im sorry to make everyone worried about me. Just want to say, that for someone like me that is used to helping others even on my bdaes to now that im spending my bdae rather aimlessly, it's very difficult. I will love to be running alongside wif u guys again, fighting a gd fight of faith, but i noe it will really take effort on my part, not u guys. I finally realised why in army, so many brothers backslide. Not easy to pray and read bible in there at all. None of the moments there are really mine and private. Not easy to still maintain ur childlike faith there either. Yet, i know that it's not easy for Jesus to walk on the road to calvary. I know it's not easy for Jesus to love his disciple that he knows is going to betray him. It's not easy for Jesus to willingly die on the cross for us. All these requires alot of faith and most imptly love for us. So i will like to share that im not a gd brother this yr, but i will try my best to be a better one nxt year. Nothing is easy, yet it will never be impossible for the One has pave the way for me. =)

Rmb 3 things in ur marathon.
1. Right Spirit.
2. Stamina.
3. Technique.

Will love to blog again, if time allows once again. Either ways, i really love you guys. Keep on keeping on and dun worry about me. There's a greater goal ahead of us. =D cheers.

junwei! i'm here to wish u happy b'day!

HAPPY 20TH!! =D

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)

E410! GOGOGO!! =D
