Go to Hell

Do you love Jesus so much and truly follow Him that you will obey Him even if He sents you to Hell?

Paul Washer - The True Gospel

Do take some time to hear this message.
Meeting human needs VS knowing our sins
Wanting to go to Heaven VS Condemned by Sin

Reflective points in this sermon.

A New Beginning

This week was my first week in a new unit.

Pretty alright, still trying to adjust to the new culture as below,

-Please walk if you think you can't run anymore
-Doing 20 pushups for punishments
-E-learning at Comp labs become net surfing sessions
-Tea breaks and afternoon breaks became a must
-1 hour 20 mins of lunch time
-No water parade
-EXCUSED RUNNING TILL SEPTEMBER

I still can accept some of the changes but it's really different now.
In the past:

-You try walking?and see what happens(usually has timing and further distance)
-Doing 50 DIAMOND pushups for punishments(usually will be mutiplier of 50s)
-Don't even get to see a computer lab
-Toilet breaks, no teabreaks, are a must(usually given only 5 mins)
-Lunch time can be sometimes only 10mins
-Water parade, drink like fish in the water; want to vomit already
-Excused running? Then walk, cannot do anything...

It's really a different culture being in a combat unit and one of Singapore's toughest unit. Yet, moving on to a combat service support unit and one of Singapore's slackest unit (Almost all the trainees have medical conditions).


Another thing this week, I've hurt a bro in the process of remarking. I won't be ashamed to post this and some of you might have guessed it.

Dude, I'm really sorry and glad you are able to understand where I'm coming from.

The power of the tongue that can give life or death. How true, isn't it?

Anyway, weekends are finally here. Crazy, crazy. Here's a glimpse for you:

FRIDAY
-Young adult cell from 8pm to 10pm.Reached home at 1230am.

SATURDAY
0900h - Guitar lesson
1200h - Worship Practice
1700h - Visit Heart of God
2000h - Prayer meeting
2200h - Overnight Worship Jam

SUNDAY
0930h - Youth Ministry meeting
1000h - Youth cell
1200h - Youth Empower Service

As you can see, that is my weekend this week. My point in listing all this, how many of these activities are actually what God wants me to commit? Sometimes, I find myself agreeing to everything that comes my way. It shifts from focused to ineffective ministry.

Also, there is no will of God. God has a purpose and plan for everyone. I'm not even sure if all of the above are part of it for me.

So for you and me, I hope we will bear in mind, it is not how much we do that will justify our faith. It is our heart in serving that will reflect how grateful we are for Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Salvation. The true believer will renew himself daily in the grace of Lord Jesus Christ, confessing and cleansing himself of all sins in the blood of Jesus Christ and repent, knowing that God, the God of love will forgive our transgressions for Jesus has covereed our sins with His Blood.

Passage to relate: Exodus 25:10-22

Well God bless all =)

Examine our Faith

Hello, I am back.

Many happenings these weeks.

-Posting out of NDU to another camp
-Transferring of Fri Cell
-Trying to reach out to my friend
-A Discussion at Old Airport Road Market
-A Close friend's 21st Birthday party that involves mainly boozing and singing, thank God I didn't join in
-A mother who thinks she's mistreated worse than a maid
-Youths seeming to enjoy Praising and Worshipping, just that it happens only after service
-Love invading the air around me, people falling in love (Oh yes, and perhaps, falling away from God as well)
-Perceptions of my bros and sis in Christ that have changed over time in this world, certain things have become a norm and okay to them
-Giving up something so precious to God because I must let it go


Being in this world for our lives as seem to dissolve the absolute Christian values taught by the Bible. For example, no offences,
"It is okay to let the guys oogle and look at hotties/pretty girls once in a while"

What does God say?
Proverbs 31:30 (Amplified) - Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!
Matthew 5:28 (Amplified) - But I say to you that everyone who so much as looks at a woman with evil desire for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

It is such a small thing such as looking at a woman but do you know? God is watching. How you react and think when you look. The Lord knows it all. Are you going to say "it's okay lah, look only what! That's what God created woman for?"


Are you thinking this way? if you are, please remember. The highway to sin and death begins when you entertain the lies of the Devil, the Prince of lies. He will tell you it's okay to ogle, it's okay to think and fantasize.

But remember the man after God's heart, King David, who fell to sin when he saw Bathsheba bathing. Sin can enter into the very lives of our own. Are we constantly on the lookout for signs of lies that the Devil puts into our minds?

Something for you to ponder through this week, and I pray that God will speak/reveal to you. God bless and God reign as you go through your individual lives this week!

Unveiling the Glory of God

Just came home from Church camp 08. Though it's not as rockingly fun as 06. However, it was one I drew deep deep lessons and encouragements from God to carry me on His work in my life.

That I say I only want to glorify His name in my life.

Will be back with more updates.

God bless ya!

Unforgiving

Why must things turn out like this again...

She just closed me in, I'm left with no choice.

It's suffer or leave.

Do I really have to leave?

God, You're my Maker, why won't you say something?

God, You're the Lord of my life, why won't you speak to me?

My soul is downcast, I beat my chest because I can't get out of this entanglement.

I can't focus on You because of her, not that I don't love her anymore.

Holiness

God is absolute.

No compromise in His holiness.

I've learnt to abide in You Jesus.

Amen.

Church camp 08!
