Sunday, January 27, 2008 - CHRISTIANS UNITE!!! :
u know, if i were to use a picture to describe christians, i cant picture in my head christians holding each other's hand, then circling the earth, with God in the middle. something like this:
this is because in my sch in my church i have seen many christians either backslided or they as if deny tt they are christians. i believe how to prove and tell the world tt u r a true christian is to preach the good news, be a shining example for christ. when i say be a shining example for christ i dont mean be a good guai guai boy, cos if your friends your family whoever who knows u will just see a guai guai boy then full's stop. thats all. no more. to be a shining example for christ is to " 12Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16as you hold out[c] the word of life—in order that I (Paul) may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. " Philippians 2:12-16 "19Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his,"[a] and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."" 2 Timothy 2:19
so CHRISTIANS UNITE!!! STAND UP AND TELL THE GOOD NEWS OF FIRE!!! "26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." James 2:26 "26If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." Luke 9:26 "8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8 "40For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:40
but in the midst of the storm, through the wind and the rain, God is still faithful, Gos is still faithful. when the sun refuse to shine, and time is no more, God is still faithful, God is still faithful.
no matter how troubled you feel your life is, God says, "6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." God will never ever leave us alone to suffer by ourselves, although God do not promise a life free of troubles, He promises us to give us the strength to go through it. no matter how horrible you feel your life is, God says, "11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11. His all-perfect plan is out there for you to claim it. no matter how anxious or nervous u feel about something, God says, "33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." "27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?" Matthew 6:33-34;27
hope you would meditate and pray about it
God bless,

hi everyone
there was something i think the Lord was speaking to me on the most recent Chaplin's Hour that i would like to share. but first let me give some intro first. Chaplin's hour is a time every term when every christian (optional) meet up and worship the Lord and hear God's word through the Chaplin. Ok let me start...
You know for the song "Now that you're near" by hillsongs i think, singing that song would most suit the auidence/worshippers clapping. so i felt very awkard that there was no clapping. then i looked around and i saw this lower sec boy wanting to clap, but think too afraid, so clap as silently as possible. so i just took the lead and start clapping (louder)and everyone followed. [k those who went may argued tt someone at the other end start the clapping...IT DOESNT MATTER...]yup so this incident kept me thinking. and thinking. and thinking. and i thought of 3 points i would like to share with you:
1) clapping = evanglism. Speading the gospel to the non-believers is our purpose of our lives on earth, our responsibility.. We would be rather out of place, and awkard if we dont fufill our purpose, even worse we could feel worthless and useless.
2) Spreading the gospel is like a virus (good one, that is). It would catch on anyone. You would feel like you are on fire and just want to share your ever-burning passion for God to other non-believers.
3)*** the point i want to emphasise most*** when no one clapped, when no one took the lead to start clapping, the people in the hall must be thinking, why not let someone else start the clapping? i'll wait for someone to start clapping. even worse, why not let the other person do the clapping for me? this applies in standing up for God and evanglism too. why not let this someone preach the gospel to the non-christians on behalf of the christians, so that you wouldnt feel so burdened and irresponsible. or in the case of standing up for God, why not let the goody goody boy over there stand up for God first? then if he does I will follow him. CHRISTIANS!!! WE ARE ASKED TO BE THE SALT AND LIGHT OF THE WORLD, NOT THE FOLLOWER!!! we are asked to be the leader, to lead a non-believer to christ, and not follow someone or wait for someone to take the lead. IT WILL NEVER COME!
4) just 1 verse im sure everyone is familiar with and can very well summarise my point here. "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." Luke 9:26
God bless.
