on our knees...

I don't think the call to prayer and repentance has ever been stronger than it is now... just one touch... just one touch Lord.

e.m.o.

I'm how tempted to type like 1 x long e dot m dot o dot (e.m.o.) entry now... but then I think it's a bad idea.

Hahaha...

Law v.s. Grace?

Just this week a friend asked me,"Are you as hard on other people as you are on yourself?"

Well, generally unless I know it's something I'm called to do, then... NO. But if there are people I have offended in the past because of this, I am sorry. Do let me know, and I WILL apologise to you personally, IN PERSON.

I do not think I am too hard on myself. If I am, I think it's because I lack discipline.

Communication breakdowns...

I hate them... I hate being misunderstood, I hate misunderstanding people. But it happens alot to me.

This can't go on...

Church

Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of updates.

Anyway, church was great today. It was one of those Sundays where I wasn't leading worship for main service or for youth. I actually had time to NOT have my lunch in Holland Village! Hahaha...

Ok back to church. For service today, the worship team decided to do a special "Jewish" set, meaning they did all the praise & worship songs with Jewish influences, songs from the Messaianic movement and stuff. Songs like "Kadosh", "Jehovah Jireh"... etc.

It was an awesome time of worship. Technically it was really good. But that's not even the point right now. I appreciate these "Jewish songs" because they're simply ALL ABOUT GOD. They simply declare the awesomeness, the holiness, the majesty of our Holy God. And they are a welcome change from alot of the songs we sing nowadays, about what WE would do for God, about how much we love God. Don't get me wrong there is a place for alot of these songs, and I love them, but we have to realise we're nothing but mere feeble humans. We can SAY we love God, and that we wanna do this and do that for Him, but we WILL fail. And that is why we need Jesus, no?

"Jewish songs" simply capture the nature and character of God, His unchanging nature. It's always good to just totally focus on that from time to time. He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore....

But I would like to give props to the band who really pulled off a set that I am pretty sure wasn't a stroll by the beach technically. Praise God! He took their hardwork and multiplied it for His glory! Oh yah, special mention to Junxu, who played acoustic for the first time at main service today. What a set for your debut man! Haha... But it was definitely a great first time. Good job!

The singers sounded really awesome too. Good to see Henry back on vocals too.=)
And of course...Shawn, THE VOICE, he was brilliant (as usual) as worship leader (and sometimes dancer too! haha... "hallelujah hallelujah"). May the Potter continue to shape you into something of beauty that reflects His majesty, as you yield yourself to Him.

I can't forget the dancers as well. They just keep getting better! Good to see Danch on the team as well! I was really ministered by the dancers today. Awesome... (i don't have much of a vocabulary)

Thank you Lord for blessing us with the people in our worship ministry. Every single one of them, not just those who were serving today is special in your eyes, and is made in your image. Lead us to the cross, and may we fall in love with you all over again, Jesus.

Thank you Lord also for 2 very powerful and annointed messages today. The first was delivered at main service by Ps William, on the "Goliaths in our lives" (ok tt's my own title.. but that is what it was about). The 2nd was by Ivan at youth, on finding our rest in Him. This was seriously THE BEST message Ivan has given ever. It could only be you God, taking Ivan's efforts and using it for Your glory.

May Your Word never return to you void.

You know you're old when...

Ok... so this morning I went to Starbucks to get a coffee. When I got there, I ordered my usual and proceeded with the payment.

As the counter girl was getting me my change, she asked, "So...... Not working today?" =(

That's terrible... They've always always asked me, "Not in school today?"

i'monlytwentyfive...really...onlytwentyfive

I surrendered...

How can I give anything less
When you gave heaven's best?

For the gate is narrow and the way is hard......

I totally applaud this pastor for his uncompromising stand. These posts might offend, and they're definitely hard to swallow. But these are issues that we (esp the youth of today), need to address. To say that these things are not a struggle to me would be plain lie.

I really wished the church really talked more about such stuff. Our God isn't a floaty, happy clappy "inthecloudswithprettystuff" type god... He's GOD. GOD OVER ALL. He may be loving, but He's also strict, uncompromising... because He's unchanging.

To give our God anything less would be to cheapen the work of the cross.

Really... EVERYONE needs to read this... THESE rather...
