Something To Share
Hello guys,
Liming here. Haha! Just want to share this with you guys. Yesterday I was on bus 67. The bus was very crowded and I was standing in a corner. I was in a lousy mood as the journey was very long and my bag was very heavy. There are several elderly on the bus and some students were sitting near them. They are (pretending to?) sleeping or just idle, none of them gave his seat to the elderly. Then an old and frail lady came on the bus and she almost fell down when the bus jerked. A middle-aged man gave his seat to her and immediately afterwards a youth also stood up and allowed an old woman to sit down. I felt touched by the gesture of the middle-aged man. He also provided a good example to the youths. Ask yourself: Do you give up your seats to the elderly, or hold the lift/door for the physically weak? Are you afraid that others will consider you as "extra" or worse still, pretending to be nice? Truthfully speaking, sometimes I do have such concerns but I have overcame them. I am not in the position to judge anyone but please, besides being a faithful Christian, also show care for others around you. Be a kind person not only in Church but also in other places. Let the love flow. God Bless You!

Personal Sharing by Cyn
Hey Guys:
While I type, you guys are having a great CGM with Kel now @my house. ;) Just wanna share a heartwarming experience... I was taking the lift from 4th Floor down to B2 when this elderly man came into the lift at Level 1. He was going to attend Dialect Church at B4. I continued to hold the lift for the next 5-7minutes because all his fellow elderly friends, all smiles, came in one by one. Being more senior in age, they were walking very slowly. But I felt so happy just holding the lift for them. I felt so warmed in my heart seeing them so excited to go to B4 for CHURCH! Points here are these ... Firstly, i think we ought to always check our heart for the same sincere kind of excitement whenever we go to church... in fact, they were all EARLY for church. Not strolling in late. And hello? They are old in age already! God bless these dear souls. No matter what you are doing for God (for me, a CGL & Church staff)... never forget that service always starts in the smallest ways like holding the lift (thank you ushers!) and all. Also, let's be so polite to the elderly. Be helpful if you come across a JAMS church member, an elderly, a little child, and of course, your fellow friends ... :) Another thing I wanna address especially to all the younger aged members: I hope that you guys remember that you got to be a testimony at home, to the best of your ability. I really do not wish to hear from your parents that you are rude or rebellious, or especially if your exams are here, I hope we don't hear of you not studying... Because seriously, we will rather you not come for CGM if the above does happen. So we will be monitoring :) ANYWAYS, my sharing is out of a heart that has just been warmed up by a bunch of special grandpapas & grandmamas. We are family. :) HAPPY BIRTHDDAY TO THE THREEEEE GIRLS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINDY ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA FAITH! :) great to have you girls in the cg! keeping you in our prayers! Love, W279 FELLOWSHIP WAS GRREAT! since wy has already blogged, i will just post the pictures! :D love love. -KAR-

Today after service, few of us stayed back for fellowship and have a time of game (Whack jack!, Heart attack!, Don't forget the lyric!).
When there is game, there is forfeit. So here are the forfeit video, but it was a bit dark so maybe put on your night vision. Haha! This is the demo by Emy and Kar. The real forfeit by Li ming and Pam. Anyway, remember tomorrow CG is starting at 3 & try to reach by 2.30pm. And be ready in your PE attire as we are going out for a jog. Haha! See ya! wy

The Holidays Are Ending
[This is Emily here. I found this post on KELVIN's blog.... and i guess, liming posted on the WRONG blog! haha! So here am I, very kindly transferring it over here....]
Hi everyone! This is Liming. Sorry that I cannot post photos as I cannot find my USB cable. But I will upload them soon. Yesterday the Cell Group attended service and pastor Kong shared a powerful word on loyalty. We really benefict a lot and I realised that we have to be loyal to one another. Unloyalty is EVTREMELY destructive. After service ended we went to the rooftop. Desmond blessed me dinner and the Lord be praised as I did not have any money. Desmond said to me that God had told him to bless me. I was surprised and I want to say that God is real. Kevin came afterwards and the Cell Group ate dinner and we played Captain Ball with some other firends. It was very fun until I sprained my ankle when running around. Haha! After playing some brothers went to Joel's place to study. Kevin and Chin Ming went home. I went to Jurong Point with Emily, Sarah, Kar and Pam and bought shoes for Kar. Then we went to Starbucks and Emily treated me coffee. Thank you! We talked until very late and went home by bus. It was a very special day for me as I really learn a lot about God's love. I also realised that I had grown closer to the Cell Group. I love you all.

Draw near to GOD
You are as close to God as you CHOOSE to be. If you feel far from God... Guess who moved? (Read James 4:8)
(Just For Laugh Dudes)
Hey W279, If you guys are drinking water right now , please put down your cups :) Just in case you will roll on the floor laughing. Here goes: Funny Pamela's version of 'Poker Face'. -Pei Yang
Loyalty.
-2 Chr. 16:9- "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." --- What a great service today! Pastor Kong preached such a great word ... It is one of those messages that cut to my heart, and I was tearing while listening to the word of God preached. It stirred in my being. Guys, Let's have loyalty in our heart. I really feel strongly that this season, God is doing a work of uniting us as a family, uniting our hearts to His, uniting us with His vision, uniting us with Pastor's vision / CHC's vision. So, Let's settle this issue of loyalty in our hearts, And let's be loyal to one another, to our Pastors & CHC, TO GOD especially. --- Last CGM, we sang GOD OF MY FOREVER, and one of the lines that always felt close to my heart is ... On this altar, I've written my life, Tells of a story I have with You my Lord, I want the world to know. God of my forever ... --- Our destinies are tied to this great church, to one another. Let's stand united, let's love GOD till the end, by His grace & with each other's encouragement :) -------------------------- Love, Cynthia

"TITHE"
HI~W279,"ZENG"ying here...
So happy that i've went for bs today and it was amazing!I've learnt a lot of things from there so just want to share with your guys about one of three kinds of giving that the Bible teaches and that is "tithe". When the first half year i have became a christian,giving tithe is just like a kind of resposibility to me and at that time i didn't really know what tithe means.Every time when came to offering time,i look around the people around me ,they started to giving thanks to God and seriously ,sometime i just felt that it was very embarrass when the people siting beside me and giving their thanks to God but i am not,so i will just like do what they have done because i don't know what they will think about me if i am not doing so. Soon or later,i started to realised that God will never receive the thanks that i give Him without giving my true heart and if we just giving thanks by just responsibility and not by our own mind it simply means that we don't believe that God will take care of us.Also,the tithe is not belong to ours but to Him and we are not giving Him 1o% of our allowance ,we are returning back of his money as He who loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son. The bible says in 2 corinthians9:6"But remember this-if you give little,you will get little.A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only a small crop,but if he plants much,he will reap much".So guys,don't worried about if your wallet had just left 5 dollars and you are afraid that what should you do after you have giving them all as thanks giving and you have left no more money but if God wants you to do so,please obey Him as he is a God which is more than enough,he will return you more than what you have sows. Lets put our trust in God and give our thanks to Him with all our hearts and do what cynthia had shared with us in cell gorup-prepare God's offering before Him<<<....Then,i believe that our life will live with prosperity and abundance of fruithfulness if we honour Him. welcome dearest friends of 279!
want to have your face on this card,? JOIN USSSSSSSS! :D hahahahahaa. i did this upon the request of our cgl, cynthia chua! HAHAHAHAH :D yayyyyyy! find your own faces kay :D and, have fun guessing the answer! :) KARRRRRRRR.
HEY FAMILY! :D
wheee, firstly,... haahaha, SO PRETTYYYY RIGHT?!!?/ i enjoy doing it :D ahahahah. well, EMILY, W279 SAYS THANK YOU TOOOOO YOU!!!!!!!!!! ehehehe. okay, time for jokes :D heeeeeeeeeeee. . . . . ready? . . . . . okay, go! . . . WHO WAS THE FIRST ONE TO HAVE A BRA IN THE BIBLE?! (please say your answer on the tagbaord.) :D TATA! LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUUU FAMILY, KARZ.
上帝給我們的愛
Haha... I am Steph.
En... I just share my feeling... Love w279 , Love Cyn! 我來新加坡五年了。 還記得第一次與上帝相遇是在2005年, 不懂事的我並不知道他是誰。 不知道那是什麼地方, 只知道那裏的人都很奇怪。 不懂他們舉手的意義, 不懂他們流淚的原因。 就這樣, 我帶着不理解的心情離開了Church,離開了上帝的懷抱。 但是,兩年後,上帝再次找到我。 我又再一次,回到他的懷抱。 一踏進Expo hall 8,一股莫名的感動在我心中遊蕩。 很奇妙,很不可思議。 在裏面的人,每個人的臉上都有着燦爛的笑容。 好像他們不曾遇過傷心難過的事一樣。 praise and worship的時候他們留下了眼淚。。。 有很多很多是我不懂的,很多很多是我來了新加坡之後不曾得到的。 可是是上帝改變了我,他讓我明白許多,也讓我得到許多。 像是Cynthia給我的關心和鼓勵,小六會考的成績。 是上帝告訴我只要努力,一定會有奇跡發生。 是上帝告訴我只要孤單的時候,呼喊他,他一定會在我們的身邊。 是上帝告訴我,即使在黑暗中也不用害怕,因為他一定會在我們的周圍。 他永遠保護着我們,愛護着我們,生怕我們受那麼一點點的傷害。 他愛我們勝於所有,即使要他舍棄生命他也願意。 他是這麼的無私,這麼的偉大。 同樣的,我們應該向他一樣愛我們的愛他。 不要為了一點的挫折,就埋怨你對世界的不滿。 不要為了一點的傷口,就喊痛得站不起來。 不要為了一點的不如意,就隨意的說出:上帝不再愛你的傻話。 因為不管你怎麼埋怨,怎麼不滿,怎麼傷心,上帝永遠都是最愛我們的那一個。 挫折,是上帝給我們的考驗,能讓我們更能體會生活的艱辛。 痛苦,是上帝給我們的測驗,能讓我們不怕跌倒,能有再站起來的勇氣。 不如意,是上帝給我們的愛,能讓我們知道,他有多愛我們。 上帝給我們這些就是為了證明他有多愛我們, 請不要隨意放棄 你和上帝 之間的愛。 請不要隨意丢棄 你和上帝 之間的信任。 請不要隨意舍棄 你和上帝 之間所擁有那美好的關系。 也請你相信 上帝 不管在什麼時候都會在你的身邊。 因為他堅信你 會永遠愛他。

So, in line with what we have been learning these past fornight, here's a song that so appropriate... I chose a more contemporary version of the song so that everyone can enjoy... So... Enjoy!
Remember, we are family! |
(Reply to www.konghee.com/blog)
Just some personal thoughts … ;)
Doesn’t Sun deserve a chance in life to live out her dream? The talk about her being a stumbling block has been “blown” way out of proportion, I do feel so. Just as it is with movies like Da Vinci Code, if an MV can stumble a Christian, perhaps that Christian is a tad bit too weak in faith, to begin with? No offense, please :)
I feel we should remember that she is a normal human with dreams in her heart. Why do we box her up into our perspective of who she is, who she ought to be? Let’s for a moment, forget about her being a counselor for once, forget about her being a song leader for once. Can’t we just let Sun be … Sun?
It was just one China Wine MV, yet a select group of people would major on something so minor as one MV. And even then, the MV did not promote any sort of vice, i feel. It was purely of entertainment value. I mean, it’s pop culture we are talking about, and she’s NOW an artiste, a singer, an entertainer. You don’t expect her to preach, do you? Let her be free to express her gifts and talents, can’t we?
Whilst Sun would have been excellent as a counselor & song leader in church, it seems that her crossover into the entertainment industry has enabled her to do much more for society’s good. I mean, seriously, how many of us would have been able to build schools, orphanages, etc. as a result of what we do? Shouldn’t we applaud her for that? That is such an awesome thing … But WHY HAVEN’T WE GIVEN HER CREDIT FOR ALL THAT?
Let’s stop slamming hard on each other. Every joint supplies.
Let SUN be SUN. Ultimately, you will know a tree by its fruits. Just observe her fruits … and stop judging before time … especially when we do not even know Sun’s motives and heart. I know that she has pure motives and heart.
BY THE BY:
I struggled with depression before. When Sun came up with her first Mandarin album “Sun with Love” … my friend gave me a copy of the album, and her songs brought healing to my soul. I no longer struggle with depression ever since. Here’s an honest sharing about how songs (non-churchy, non-religious, purely secular) can be used by God to heal a heart?
So should SUN see this … I just wanna say thank you for all that you are doing. You are the most courageous woman I’ve ever known in this lifetime. :) Live your dream, because you’ve only one life to live. Those who are for you are more than those who are against you… :) You are my hero. So are you, Pastor Kong.
