Intro to God's love

Another reason why I want to be a taxi driver in the future: Can share the gospel =)

Took a lift from Dandan out from school today, to go Jurong Point, on my way to Suntec (the Rock). The thought about giving others a lift, since we have space, and it's raining, and it's peak hour (meaning most of the buses that come past are FULL), and of course, good chance to share the gospel, if not enc others with it, and to get to know pple even =)

Well, we picked up 3 pple from hall 4 bus stop, 2 ladies from NIE, PGDE, and 1 guy from MPE, final yr. Two were christians from FCBC, the other non-christian. Managed to talk to them a bit more, as I took the train out from Boon Lay...hope to be able to invite them to supper talks or smth sometime..Well, one thing for sure, it certainly can be pulled off =P Just have to refine the response and reactions I think.

Went to the Rock (New Creation Church) today, supposed to be a bible study, sermon style, but i think it's more of a sermon =P No more of "prosperity gospel" thingy, cos of the blatant declaration of it NOT being a prosperity gospel preaching (by the preacher), amongst other declarations along the way (think there've been a lot of feedback about those "rumours" about them...hence such declarations). As a sermon, was pretty fundamental, but good(it's still the gospel wat), though the jumping from hebrews to other passages (even proverbs!) confused me quite a bit, counting his speed, and his adding in of examples, which sometimes, the phrasing is a little lame =). But as a bible study....I think it was not that... -_-::

One thing pretty worrying thou..the congregation laughs at ALL the preacher's jokes (lame or not), even when they're really not funny! Think it's sort of a conditioned response, well, at least from counting that the lady sitting beside me says "amen!" and "ummm!" (yes) every half a sentence or so of his, even when he hasn't ended/concluded his point! And of course, she laughs (along with some others) when his tone changes when he's trying to make a joke, before he even completes it (good for keeping pple alert, but sometimes threw my weak mind off track =P)!!!

That, makes me worried, and sad, cos it suspiciously looks like a very ready ground for a me-centered gospel...but that doesn't stop me from praying for them, as well as my dear BASIC that I went with too

1 thought, 1 plan, 1 christian

What's the definition of a christian to the rest of the world? Someone "holy"? Or what?
One thing for sure, a christian, is still human, like the rest of us all, for now. The difference then? Ask me, I'll gladly tell you ;)

Had planned out my days on my way back to school from church music prac today, and yeah, intend to follow =P Those who wanna "help" me keep to it if no changes, thanks in advance lol~~ (Stalkers and wannabe-stalkers need not apply, if they exist in the first place for my case... -_-:: )

Scared to see girls cry

That's the thing that I really don't like to see, as real as the reality is...somehow it makes me feel terrible...

Yesterday was a day of MANY things: Did the BS qns for the next CG with Huiqing, met Kelvin (from ACJC, another case of extended friendster) on my way back, distributed flyers, etc

Seems like a lot of seniors in CF are very very stressed....think I'm starting to understand why...

Time mgmt

So many things to be done...and so little time seemingly...Or am I not managing my time properly? Seems so, so far...Pray that will be able to somehow get my time planning in check, before my studies start into a downward spiral, and my plans for campus ministry...

Have had our Corporate Meeting today, along with CGLG3. The turnout was okay, but could've been more, since the more that come, the more that will hear the gospel being preached, and to encourage each other in the faith too...from talking with Derrick, realised that there's so much more to be done...

Have to start getting my timings right asap...one of the reasons being that it's not good to be led by the nose (literally) through the CGLGs from lack of studying the passage beforehand, though will go thru after that, but understanding could've been sharper as a result of proper preparation beforehand...not only for my own good, but also for the people around me, and for my CG members too.

Our prev-prev chairman dropped by today, super surprised, though didn't get to talk to him much...and went for a run with Guofeng and Derrick before we dropped by Grace's place for supper (super late), and ended up gg back hall at 1.30am: another instance where good time mgmt could've resulted in a bit more work done before we ran, and fellowshipped over supper (just crapped there most of the time). Big crowd in a small room: Wong Yongjie, Ann, Grace, Charmain, Guofeng, Derrick and myself

In hoping to do things for the sake of the gospel, I certainly hope that I'll be able to manage all these things, and be a good steward of the 24/7 that I/we all have for starters (anyone wanna teach me how to plan?? =D )

First CG!

Have had a long day....but it was good =)

Had our first CG today, first time really leading a CG today, wasn't as stress as I thought, but seeing the freshies, and doing the bible study, made me realise all the more, the importance of passing on the gospel in it's wholeness to people too even..

The gospel, is for all, why so?
Non-christian: for their salvation
Christian: for edifying them

There's work to be done, and for tonight, preparatons for my lab =S

PS: Do check out the new CW section on the sidebar! Share share =)

3 days, 1 chalet

Had our CG, house church gatherings including a bbq, at a chalet that we've gotten, on friday, saturday evening, and even on sunday.

Not very sure what I think about all these, but it's certainly been a very weird three days, eating too much snacks (and drinking like 7-8 cans of coke in that span of time I think), hanging out, playing card games, bowling, and just chatting.

Today was bad, frisbee got cancelled (sian), it rained (cold), did NOTHING productive, though I'd have wanted to go back to revise my work, but ended up not having the discipline/whatever-you-call-it not to join them for the last part(idiot), where I coudld've gone back earlier, and got irritated with no end in sight, since not too sure when(irritated), to top it all off.

I don't know what to think of all these, have certainly hoped to be able to interact with the rest more properly on all 3 days, instead of bumming around until everyone has nothing much better to do which happened one or two times.

The new week starts, and it's time to move on to pia'ing my backlog of work, and on things happening on in school, though I pray that I won't fall sick from all that "junk" ;P

Weekend! ^^ Relax...?

Looking around school on a Saturday afternoon, somehow relaxes me, not seeing people here and there scurrying around, and the crowds too.

But am reminded that as we all have more things to prepare for, and do, I can only continue to thrash out my time management, whilst continuing to do my work, and to continue what we've all been called to here on this planet: proclaim the gospel in whichever ways that are wise, and worthy of the gospel.

Pity cannot go for Alex's bday dinner celebration tonight, got house church gathering overnight at SAFRA resort there, but hope to be able to encourage the pple there in the faith, if not correct some misconceptions, when the opportunity arises.

My room-mate's somehow skipping lectures a bit to casually nowadays, with work to be done and all, am worried for him, and am praying for his salvation: not to add numbers to whichever organisation or to my ego even, but in accordance to His will and timings, that he be saved.

Weekend's here! I wanna studyyyyy.....

The tired post(er)

S***..shouldn't have said what I did...baaaad move, even if it's made with right motives

Now I suffer the consequences, and suffer~~

=============================

Had our hall polling this evening, and helped out as a general helper, tallying the votes, etc. Quite an interesting experience..having missed it last year...and the atmosphere there was of anticipation, though not bursting with it or what.

Still, standing for 2 hrs odd was certainly something I've not done in a long while, since army? lol
