Woohoooooo~ I've made Stacy addicted to Tess Gerritsen's books too! Yippee! :D HAHAHAHAHA. Stacy, I assure you that Vanish is an extremely good read.
There can be miracles, when you believe.
Church was great today! Worship was really good, but the sermon by pastor Chan was not very.. okay, I don't know how to describe it. But, the points he made were still illuminating, so hooray for that(: Notes are below. After everything, I stayed in the hall with Evelyn for SUPER long to wait for the rain to stop, haha. I wasn't very willing to get wet this morning because I would be cold in the MRT if I did. So while waiting, Jotham and Kenneth came over to talk to me. (: Oh well, yeah. I told Jotham I wasn't going for church camp because of softball. Sigh. I WANNA GO FOR CHURCH CAMP!! So unfair leh.. ahwells, nothing's gonna stop me from going for YM camp this year, I don't care! -pouts- I can't wait for it, and the thailand mission trip too! :D LALALA. ^^
All the best to you for tomorrow, Jotham! :D God be with you. I'll keep you in my prayers!
For as long as I shall live, I'll testify to Your love.
Guitar was fun today, as usual. (: Haha. Shane was telling about his very first performance, omg it's so hilarious! You should've heard him, man. Oh we played Hotel California for practicing chords today, and Shane also gave us the chords for American Pie! I shall try to learn them. (: Lala. Nothing happened after lesson, sadly. I was SO looking forward to something eventful. Sigh.
RADICAL DISCIPLESHIP
10 Commandments:
~ Marks God to be a holy God
- no other Gods (One and only!)
- no idol (irreplacable/uncontainable)
- don't take the Lord's name in vain. (take God's name seriously)
- remember the Sabbath (can be trusted; God will provide for us.)
~ Marks God's people to be a distinct people.
- honour your parents (obey them, be a friend to them)
- don't murder (respect life)
- don't commit adultery (respect God's order in the home)
- don't steal (how to regard property)
- don't bear false witness (watching your tongue)
- don't covet (how to be contented)
We should..
1. recognise God's holiness and treat God with the fear and respect He deserves.
2. recognise our calling as God's distinct people and live it out in life and testimony. ALL THE TIME!!
How do we do that? [Romans 3:4]
1. a proper regard for God and His Word (change of attitude.)
2. a greater concern for our relationship with God (change of habits.) [PRIORITISE CORRECTLY; ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST!]
3. a greater interest in our witness and our testimony (change of lifestyle.)
Not able to dance freely? [2 Samuel 6:14]
"Delight yourself in the Lord."
Never give up struggling with your sins!
