Spiritual anchors…

Standard

Lord, thank you so much for loving me unconditionally… that in spite of all my short-comings, Your love for me stays the same.

Thank you for the truths you’ve been depositing in my life… many of which come with practical experiences that helps ‘seal it in’ as life lessons. I recognize that these would become spiritual anchors for me that will hold me to you in life’s storms.

Thank you also for surrounding me with people who love and care for me… for people who walk with me (not walk away) when I fail and journey with me in life as I grow! =)

Thank you, God. I love you!

Men’s Breakthrough Weekend

Standard

Just got done with our church’s Men’s Breakthrough Weekend.
It was quite fun! particularly because I got to meet new friends, and not only that, journey with each other as we share openly about what God has been doing in our lives!

One thing is for sure.. God is ready to break through in our lives, if we’re willing to break with things that hold us back…

The highlight for me was hearing real men, sharing real stories, and testifying of real breakthroughs. It set the tone for the weekend, where each man encountered God for himself, to discover God’s customized curriculum for each person.

For me, my breakthrough process had already began from February. =) This weekend, however, allowed me to consolidate my thoughts, process my emotions, journal, and make note of the spiritual truths that I gained.

Thank you, Lord for being such a personal God to me!

Feeling ‘lost’ & ‘incomplete’

Standard

Lil is on holiday since Friday…
She’s gone with a good friend to Bangkok.
This is something she had wanted to do for sometime.. and I’m glad to be able to take care of the kids, and ‘free’ her to go. =)

However, truth is, I’m learning that it’s quite a challenge to be all alone caring for 3 kids.
It got especially more difficult cos’ Emily fell sick again! Doctor says she has the gastric flu.. so she’s been feeling really tired and lethargic and very irritable! which made it really hard to care for her.

I’m glad the past few days, my Mom & Dad were around to help. I decided to stay here at their place. It’s help quite a lot. But still I can’t help feel the strain.. or taking care of the kids alone.

I probably sound like I’m whining (which perhaps I am!) especially to moms who stay home all the time. Staying home, not being able to go out cos’ Em’s sick, has been difficult for me. But it’s been a good learning time for me too!

Is there really a Mrs. Jesus?

Standard

Truth and fantasy mixed together … that in a nutshell is what this world best-seller is all about.
Dan Brown the author, through his creative writing has essentially called into question, and seemingly convincingly, the reliability of the Bible, the identity of Jesus, the credibility of the church. And yes, he even claims that Jesus was married, and had a child.

The movie trailer (already gaining hype on Channel 5) ends with these words: “It will rock the foundations of Christianity.” We must ask ourselves one pertinent question: “What am I called to do as a Christian?”

Our Campus Ministry has produced an excellent magazine that seeks to address some of the lies from the DaVinci Code. And in partnership with many churches and ministries in Singapore, they are seeking to equip the church to respond to this challenge…

This week, tens of thousands of these magazines will be placed in the hands of many students and people
The goal is two-fold:
1. Equip Christians with the right biblical understanding, and ability to explain the truth.
2. Expose non-Christians to the gospel, to who Jesus REALLY is.

You might be asking… “What can I do?”

These are some things you might want to prayerfully consider.
1. Equip yourself!
        – Read up more concerning the issues raised by the DaVinci Code
        – Learn the biblical truths, and anchor ourselves on it

2. Reach out.
        – Get the magazines (You may wish to order in bulk, or purchase from our Mass Media book shop)
        – Seek this opportunity to share the truth, and your faith with you friends & co-workers

3. Pray
        – Ask God to protect all involved (churches, ministries, individuals) as we know the enemy will not sit there doing nothing
        – For boldness as we continue to proclaim God’s truth in varies settings
