Well, my extremely deepest apologies to the extreme few who have been following my blog. It has been quite a while and I am sincerely sorry. =P
Anyway, Bethany Chapel had its inaugural Annual Assembly Meeting where we launched our new theme, "The Real Deal - in pursuit of Authentic Christianity" on the 31st of May 2009. In my own life, I think sometimes its always a struggle to always hold on to what the Bible says. We always feel the Bible was only relevant 2000 years ago.. *RINGS BUZZER* that's the wrong answer !! -God never changes and the Bible's God's word.. Amen ?If most of you might not had known, I've been home-schooling at home this year, instead of the center I used to go to. However, since April I have been sort of working there as a supervisor/helper.. It has been an absolute blast. I was basically handling the kids from the ages of 6-13. But one thing I realized that even at a very young age, the kids could tell if you're joking with them or when you are actually really giving good advice. (In home-schooling, there are a lot of ways to strategize your work.) And they are CHILDREN !!
As Christians, (sorry to say.. but especially Asians), like Dad always says, we always want to "save face". We are too embarrassed about our problems and sometimes even our testimonies !!! How we live our lives SHOULD have a strong impact others. We got to start believing that. And believe that strong conviction ! The problem is we are so afraid of impacting others negatively that we don't even attempt to uplift, encourage and impact each other positively. Remember we have a mandate, and if we believe in living a REAL LIFE, and having the conviction we're walking everyday with a REAL GOD.. "pastikan kau akan berbuah" !! (-Yesus Pokok dan kita cabangnya)
C'mon guys, isn't it sad to be on the brink of revival (The Promise Land) and never be able to get there ?? Unfortunately, I look at the things I see in churches today, we're heading towards that. Let us not be like those 8 Israelite spies who saw big giants in Jericho.. I want to be a Joshua or a Caleb, who were Real People who could see a Real God conquering the Promised Land !!
I wanna be..
one day..
P.S: Impact your Christians friends too.. They need your example and encouragement too.. =)
With lots of luv,
-jO-
