Unity

This morning's sermon was from Phillipians, on the topic of unity in Christ, in the church. Am really glad, to see Pastor Kay Leong preaching faithfully, being true to the Word, and edifying the church. =)

Have been challenged personally, about the status of the church being united, in Christ, as there certainly are people I don't treat in a proper manner, as much as I somehow would like to, but don't anyway...it's like having the relationship with your parents, whether you like it or not, whether you're hating this moment, or loving them the next, they're still your parents, and likewise, these people are my/our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Have had a short hanging out session at Olio Bishan after celebrating Chik Liang's bday over lunch @ Swensons. And the second half of the time we spent there, discussed/debated/tried to convince (dunno how to desc.) about some things which I really had hoped for them to come to understand, but...regret is that have forgotten to, or stopped short of, challenging them (those who went to Olio) to read the bible properly for themselves, that hopefully someday, the points I've made, would not remain as my arguments only, but what we can learn from His Word (what I've been convicted of as I learn too).

Meanwhile as I think/rethink about things, regarding my church (yet again), time to continue thrashing it out about the unity issue I have.
