Cell rocks!

Haha, on behalf of all the fellow "young men", thanks for praying for us! Continue rocking on, and don't worry, "young men" keep you all in prayers too!

Last paper of my poly life...

Had my last paper today.. Felt so relieved after that. God has been really shown how faithful He was for the past 2 weeks as I was studying for the exams. It was his strength that I drawn from to sustain me through the weeks and exams.

I couldn’t help thanking God after the exams cause out of the 3 papers I took, I could answer almost all the questions for 2 papers. I knew it was God who gave me the wisdom to do the papers. Xiao dis who are still studying very hard for exams, good luck to you all! Remember to rely on God's strength and wisdom!

I am so happy that I will be exam free for at least 1 year! Whahahaha.. I guess I will start working soon, probably on 1st Sept, still waiting for the company’s reply. Going for another interview tomorrow.. Wish me good luck! Haha!

See you guys on fri!

-Serene-

thank God for you!

dear saints (not just the sajcians, but the real saints....yes, dun look around. it's you!!),

just wanna thank God for this cell...(Awww..).
I think as I sat in the cell today, I thank God for each and everyone of you. Many of you may not have had a great week, but I thank God that you still chose to give thanks to God for his goodness and faithfulness. I'm really touched by your thanksgiving actually....even though I was making a joke out of almost all your thanksgivings. :)
These words came to my mind and I thought it really encourages me. Hope it will encourage you too!
"Your mercies are new everyday. Your faithfulness endures. Your love is everlasting. And your grace, it makes me strong." These are lyrics from Chris' song "Every day". Perhaps someone can tell me where he gets his lyrics from...as in which part of the Bible.
But anyway, I'm encouraged by your faith, knights!

Keep pressing on!!

Cosette SONG!!

Pray

I just felt that I have to share this story. Even though I do not know the exact details, but upon hearing it from my mother who heard from her friend, this is a real life story that left me saddened.

A woman(Singaporean migrant) in Los Angelas had two children. One aged 4 to 5 years old, the other 2 to 3 years old. One day, as the elder son injured himself outside, when the woman was with her children, a person among the crowd suggested that the woman bring her child to wash his/her wound. The stranger even offered to take care of her younger child. So, with gratitude, she left her younger child with the stranger. When she came back, her younger child was gone with the stranger.

In desperateness, she went around searching for her younger child. another stranger offered to take care of her elder child while she search for her younger one. When she came back, her elder child was gone too. Her husband was furious upon finding out and divorced her. She went crazy and is still in an asylum. Her children are still nowhere to be found.

I thought that it would be good to share this. Do keep her in prayer, please. Can't you feel the pain when you read this? Sigh, what is this world coming to? Thank God that we are still safe and sound and always treasure the people around you God bless you with. God bless.

A Retreat to Advance

Hey~~ I enjoyed myself in e retreat : D.. lots of insights of God's words, the little island and the cell~ So nice to have Zan back in the cell too~ Thank YOU all for putting everything together : ) All the hardwork, food, planning, recee-ing, cleaning, mopping, preparing n finally down to eating~ Think i had been reali bless with the Sashimi~~~ n I M STILL LOVING IT~~~~ hahaha~ (No, i did not have tummyach~)

Anyway, i just tot tt, it might not b a bad idea to b blind for 3 days, like Saul, I believe he had humbled himself; be it asking ppl for help to get around or all the way to the loo and to b more sensitive to God's voice~ instead of relying on our own strength~

P.S Hey Hui im~ Once u got ur camera, lets go shoot some animals~~~ HAHAHAHA~~

Yours la,

Our Spirtual journey~

Haha~ Wow~ I was at the FOP on sat and thru out e worship, God spoke to me on 3 things~ And I was laughing when the service on Sun started with Eccl 3:1 'There is a time for everything' it was a confirmation to me~

At the FOP, e first message was on Psalm 133:1-2 ' How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes'

Do not belittle the unity of the body : ) When there is unity in the body of Christ, God's annoiting will flow from the head to the toe; everyparts recieve the annoiting~ (Family camp2009 HAHAHAHA ) Ahem. let's stay connected n cont to encourage one another in His love, His word and His Glory~

Yours la,
Terry Theodore

Things in the past, things yet unseen.....I offer my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, alll of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you
(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

Think we sang this song on sun. Just want to share that God always use this song
to remind me how faithful He is. He is in control. both things in the past and things in the future.
And what's my respond to HIm? Worship Him cos only Jesus is able to do that. It reminds me of the times when
I was in need and He was there... for providence, He was there.. and will ever be there.

Best lyrics.... (Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory)
I used to think how can God use a person like me... all the pain and hurts that I've been through,
the times when I wasn't at my best. How can God use those times for His glory? Is there anything worth for Him in my life? And I am always humbled cos.. He always tell me that, yes... my life is worth something. It's worthy for Him to love, and no matter what He can use and change it. I just need to trust Him.

Totally humbled and I know that I am mere human and He is God.
Well... Just to share some of my thoughts of this song. Old but really meaningful.

Joy.

Parable of the Shrewd Manager Luke 16:1-13

Pastor Chi Shyan spoke about this parable during service and since we are doing Parables this season, I was inspired to read up and share. But this is just a short snippet. Hee...

I found it interesting that Jesus taught a parable as such. He seemed to condone or even advocate the manager's way of protecting himself. But certainly not! He was actually trying to bring out the shrewdness of the manager and teaching us to make wise decisions as businessmen do, but with the right motives, so that we would accomplish more for the knigdom of God! Jesus didn't commend the manager for doing what he did; it was his master who commended him. In fact, the Lord tried to caution us this undesirable behaviour in verses 10-13.

My focus here is verses 8b-9: "For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. I tell you, use worldy wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings." Jesus is teaching us to make use of opportunities for God, with God as the center; like how people of this world is making use of opportunities, but for their own gains. Being children of light, our objective of being "shrewd" is and should always be centered around God and His purposes.

So are you a good steward of what God has entrusted you?
- Material possessions
- Time
- Gifts and abilities
- The Gospel

If not, start doing something today!
