there was this lady she use to be a art teacher and she had a happy life she enjoy teaching.but one day while she was teacher,she suddenyl felt very unwell and she vomitted so she went home immediatley and ask her daughter to sent her to hospital.the moment she reached hospital,she fainted went in coma admitted to I.C.U at that time the doctor told her family to prepare for the worst that she will only survive 2-3hrs but miracles came she was in coma for a week and she woke up.she din die but her life was totally change.due to that she coma for too long and don'tknow what mysterious dieasese she have,she e doc had to amputation on both hands and legs.she took 2mnths making such a painful decsicion.from there on she thought that she could not face people in a wheelchair with no hands and legs. .she hide herself at home would not want to go out and meet people but than all her loves ones around her showed her unconditional love and that she's able to stand on her feet again to meet people outside though she still need help and even though now she has no legs no hands,she did not give up on her dream being an artist though she cannot teach students to draw again but she continue drawing using fake hands and still can draw extremely well.

(my opinion was everybody has a dream and that we cannot because of somethings that happen in our life we give up on our dreams.what i typing e above is a story from channel 8 tues 10.30pm real life story is called "tuesday report: in the face of death"--when i watch i am very encourage by her even though she is handicap,but she never because of that give up on her dream)

Jesus In The House

2008-10-10T00:49:00.001+08:00

Jesus In The House

One day he decided to invite the Lord to come home and stay with him. When the Lord arrived, this young man offered him the very best room in the house. The room was upstairs and at the end of the hall. "This room is yours, Jesus! Stay as long as you like and you can do whatever you want to in this room, remember Jesus, its all yours."

That evening after he had retired for the night there came a loud knocking at the front door. The young man pulled on his robe and made his way downstairs. When he opened the door he found that the devil had sent three of his demons to attack the man. He quickly tried to close the door but one of the demons kept sticking his foot in.

Sometime later, after a great struggle, he managed to slam the door shut and returned to his room totally exhausted.

Can you believe that," the man thought. Jesus is upstairs in my very best room sleeping while I am down here battling demons. Oh, well, maybe he just didn't hear. He slept fitfully that night. The next day thing went along as normal and, being tired as he was, the young man retired early that evening. Along about midnight, there came such a terrible ruckus at the front door that the young man was sure that whatever it was would tear the door down. He stumbled down the stairs once again and opened the door to find that were dozens of demons now trying to get into his beautiful home.

For more than three hours he fought and struggled against the demons from hell, and finally overtook them enough to shut the door against their attack. All energy seemed to fail him. He really didn't understand this at all. Why won't the Lord come to my rescue? Why does he allow me to fight all by myself? I feel so alone. Troubled, he found his way to the sofa and fell into a restless sleep.

The next morning he decided to inquire of the Lord about the happenings of the last two evenings. Quietly he made his way to the elegant bedroom where he had left Jesus. "Jesus," he called as he tapped at the door. "Lord, I don't understand what is happening. For the last two nights I have had to fight the demons away from my door while you laid up here sleeping. Don't you care about me? Did I not give you the very best room in the house?"

He could see the tears building in Jesus' eyes but continued on, "I just don't understand, I really thought that once I invited you in to live with me that you would take care of me and I gave you the best room in my house and everything. What more can I do?"

"My precious child," Jesus spoke so softly. "I do love and care for you. I protect all that you have released into my care. But, when you invited me to come here and stay, you brought me to this lovely room and you shut the door to the rest of your house. I am Lord of this room but I am not Master of this house.

I have protected this room and no demon may enter here."

"Oh, Lord, please forgive me. Take all of my house -- it is yours. I am so sorry that I never offered you all to begin with. I want you to have control of everything." With this he flung open the bedroom door and knelt at Jesus' feet. "Please forgive me Lord for being so selfish."

Jesus smiled and told him that He had already forgiven him and that He would take care of things from now on. That night as the young man prepared for bed he thought, I wonder if those demons will return, I am so tired of fighting them each and every night. But, he knew that Jesus said that he would take care of things from now on.

Along about midnight the banging on the door was frightening. The young man slipped out of his room in time to see Jesus going down the stairs. He watched in awe as Jesus swung open the door, no need to be afraid.

Satan stood at the door, this time demanding to be let in. "What do you want, Satan?" the Lord asked. The devil bowed low in the presence of the Lord, "So sorry, I seem to have gotten the wrong address." And with that, he and the demons all ran away.

There is a moral to this tale. Jesus wants all of you, not just a part. He will take all that you give Him, but nothing more. How much of your heart have you given to the Lord? Are you keeping a portion of it away from Him?

Perhaps the attacks are coming more and more each day. Why not let the Lord fight the battles for you? He is always victorious. I have found that God made man simple, all of man's complexities are of his own devising.

i discovered this by accident!!!

the 5th commandment

2008-10-07T01:44:00.001+08:00

《爸爸妈妈》作词：张觉隆作曲：张觉隆编曲：Terence Teo

恨不得快点　长大

天下父母都这般期盼着我们啊

我们已健康　成长

快来祈祷父母长命百岁啊

请记得要常回家看看爸爸和妈妈

简单的一顿饭他们也开心很久啊

随便聊一些话

或随意呆在家

父母的伟大是从不要求我们报答

生活的压力　真大

爸爸妈妈多苦也撑起了一个家

我的一点点　挫败

说历经沧桑仍微不足道啊

请给我多一点时间证明给你们看

请原谅我的能力有限再要努力啊

偶尔我没回家或工作到天亮

偶尔你慰问的电话让我充满力量

父母的伟大穷我一生也难以报答

我们要把握时光来疼爱爸爸　妈妈

don't miss out the reason for this season. :)

Arise and Build!

2008-10-04T23:50:00.003+08:00

Its the season of Arise and Build! This is the 3rd week in which Pst Kong had kick start the message. And this week, is the week I really can sense that the message is speaking directly to me.

BREAKING THE CURSE OF DEBT

Luke 16:13 says
"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

We cannot serve God if we're bow down with debts.

So whats the difference between a loan and debt?

Loans
- they are borrowed money that's serviceable. (serviceable means payable)

for example, you apply for a tuition fee loan for your university fees. because you know its for your education, and with a higher education, your value will increase and time to time you will be able to pay back your loan, which is in this case serviceable.

- invest in assets that appreciate. assets such as houses.

for example, you apply for housing loan. Owning a house is an asset, and this asset will increase its value over the years.

Debts
- they are borrowed money that's unserviceable.

For example. You applied for a credit card and soon after you find yourself struggling to pay even the minimum sum to be paid every month. so you applied for another credit card to pay off your credit card loan. You are in this case, digging your own grave.

- invest in things that depreciate.

For example. You borrow money to buy a car and even go for a holiday! A car value drops once its bought. And quoting from my personal financial planner lecturer "you don't even deserve to go on a holiday if you even need to get what?!a holiday loan?!" quite ridiculous some people are, i should say. no offence though.

moving on.

Proverbs 22:6 says
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."

Proverbs 22:7 says
"The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender"

Proverbs 22:6 looks like a typical sunday school verse. But reading on to Proverbs 22:7, we can see that what Proverbs 22:6 is trying to tell us is that we (as family, parents) should train up a child in managing finances. A child should not grow up in a debt environment - meaning, going on a holiday on a holiday loan, watching the television with the television purchased in Hired purchased, living in a house with mortage/house loan yet to be paid off after 10years.

"The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender" How true. If we're in debt, we are forever a slave (not servant but slave) to debts and thus we can't serve God wholeheartedly.

Our God is a good God. He's a debt-cancelling God for he wants us to get out of debts.

Debts is a demonic thing! we must be angry with it but not live with it.

Kick off the habit of borrowing!

Deut. 15:6 says
"For the LORD your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow...."

Deut. 28:12 says
"The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your hand in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow."

Ps. 37:21
"The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous shows mercy and gives."

Here are some steps you can take:

1. Keep good RECORDS (of your spending)

Ignorance (of spending) + Easy borrowing = Disaster!

2. PLAN my spending

Proverbs 21:20 (GNB)
"...stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it."

3. REDUCE my debts rapidly.

Proverbs 3:27-28 (TLB)
"Don't withhold repayment of your debts. Dont say "some other time, if you can pay now."

4. Pay my TTHES faithfully to the house of God

5. Give my best OFFERINGS to God.

Benefits of tithing: (Malachi 3:10-11)
1. Church will be a blessing to all
2. Heaven will be open
3. Devourer will be rebuked away
4. Hard work will bear fruit
5. Spirit led investments will appear

Yeap thats all! There are actually a lot more to type. But not sure if anyone will read this faithfully from the first word to the last word. Haha. Posted it up because I really like this week's Arise and Build's message and also, for SHU YI:D haha!

You can all download free family budget template online HERE! Then go under "Family Budget Template"

That will be all!
Thank you Pst Kong for such a great message!=)

Remember, curses are meant to be broken. Our God is a good God=)

The Last Lecture

2008-09-21T22:16:00.000+08:00

http://www.thelastlecture.com/

On September 18, 2007, computer science professor Randy Pausch stepped in front of an audience of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” With slides of his CT scans beaming out to the audience, Randy told his audience about the cancer that is devouring his pancreas and that will claim his life in a matter of months. On the stage that day, Randy was youthful, energetic, handsome, often cheerfully, darkly funny. He seemed invincible. But this was a brief moment, as he himself acknowledged.
Randy’s lecture has become a phenomenon, as has the book he wrote based on the same principles, celebrating the dreams we all strive to make realities. Sadly, Randy lost his battle to pancreatic cancer on July 25th, 2008, but his legacy will continue to inspire us all, for generations to come.

2008-09-20T00:45:00.002+08:00

Another round of updates:D

How was your week? Good? Bad? Pleasant? Unpleasant? Full of suprises? Full of unwanted suprises?

Just remember to SEEK GOD okays?

I know its hard at times, especially when in my case, when I get really angry and full-headed, I tend to cast God at one side. Don't worry! I'll still continue to seek God and find myself slowly growing in the spirit and don't get all fed-up for some small tiny reasons.

Desert Song

2008-09-10T16:52:00.003+08:00

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow.

I have never get bored watching it over and over.

Cop It Sweet!

2008-09-09T13:26:00.011+08:00

"My son, do not despise the
chastening of the Lord..." - Hebrews 12:5

When
you get corrected, cop it sweet!

When circumstances challenge you, keep a great
attitude!

Mature people show great attitude when they're
"adjusted".

The ability to accept correction is the doorway to
progress.

Owning a great attitude when you're receiving
instruction you don't want, is a key to growth.

If you throw tantrums, sulk, or try to "get even",
you won't grow.

And you'll keep the fault that caused the problem in
the first place.

What's God teaching you now?

- From: "The
Leadership Files Volume 1: Cop it Sweet!"

This is what God spoke to me.
When circumstances challenge me, keep a great attitude!

I am very gek xim that my precious N82 was stolen while I was working yesterday. I kept it in a drawer and it could still be stolen.. (???)
For I know that God's thoughts are always higher than our thoughts... Everything happens for a reason!
I will not to be too attached to the worldly materials out there, for it shall not last and all will come to past. So well, keep a great attitude and cop it sweet! And be careful dears, learn from my lesson.. HA.

Anything to share after reading the words in red?

You know You're a Christian when...

2008-09-08T23:12:00.004+08:00

You know You're a Christian when..
(found this on facebook)

Yes well there are so many right.

Just post up on the board and when I can bother I will put them here.

Just to start off

1. You start randomly humming Hillsongs tunes when your scared

2. You smile when you see someone's door with a Crucifix over it

3. You say grace before eating, and don't mind if anyone sees you cross yourself or mumbling to yourself

4. You pray when your in realllly deep crap

5. You feel better after Church

6. You scream "GOD" somewhere in your friendster or facebook (though obviously this is just a commonality)

7. You memorized John, Verse 3:16 :rolls eyes:

8. The Lords Prayer is frequently how you start your day and end your night

9. You've interceded for someone

10. You've maybe had thoughts about being a pastor at least once

Don't you think its true?

Interceded means:

1.	to act or interpose in behalf of someone in difficulty or trouble, as by pleading or petition: to intercede with the governor for a condemned man.

2.	to attempt to reconcile differences between two people or groups; mediate.

John3:16 is .. need bible study?=P

Cell Group Room....

2008-09-07T17:30:00.003+08:00

I have to admit that my room isn't a very conducive place.

For those who think i did nothing to make my air conditioner works better then you are wrong. I have repaired it 3 times and spent over hundreds just on the air condition. And blame it on the slow service by Xiao Bai's Mum!! Hurry them not me!

The room isn't clean. There simply no place for me to put my stuff. haha. So all i could do is sweep the floor clean. If you want a clean room, offer yourself to help me and clean up the room too. Cause every week it is the same, you guys dont clear up the mess(hairs,Paper,bottles,,,, However is still better than last time) and i don't know why did i still lose my guitar pick which is stuck onto my guitar again despite the fact that my guitar wasnt used for cell group on saturday!!

There is no refreshments provided. Haha you pray that my dad will be in good mood then got refreshments liao. HAHA. Is time to pray?! Maybe...

Cell group fund has resumed.....

2008-09-07T17:26:00.004+08:00

Why did it resume?
1) More upcoming birthdays and lesser love offering for bday gift because of building fund.
2) May have more upcoming expenses from Christmas and special festive.

However, It will be enough for all members to contribute $1 per week instead of $2 from mature members or $1 on members.

we miss you, shuyi!

You Are My Hero - Dennis Jernigan

I've seen you stand alone and face the fight
When others laid their weapons down
And headed for home
I've seen you face the fire and come out shining like gold,
And I want you to know...

I've seen you lay visions down for someone else
And give your life as a sacrifice, no fanfare around
I've watched you weather storms that would have left others drowned,
And this is what I've found:

You are my hero, my knight in shining armor
A warrior of God's grace, standing alone faithfully
You are my hero, a light that pierces darkness
With love that's not afraid to fight for someone like me,
Encouraging me to stand firm and free!
You are my hero
You are my hero

I've seen you look down the road and see beyond
The miles and head for truth in faith while bearing a load
I've heard your anguished cries for grace and watched joy unfold,
And I want you to know:

I've seen you face death with a deep burning faith
That stirs up the passion in me!
Your heart, like a fire, abounding in grace,
A beacon helping others to see; help set me free

Hati Hamba (ENG).mp3 -

Standing in awe of your grace Setting my feet in your ways
Entering into your presence To behold you face to face
God of all heaven and earth Holding me in your embrace
Unfailing love that surrounds me Oh God I stand amazed

My Jesus my Lord Your the love of my life wherever You go Wanna be by your side
No longer I but Christ living in me Serving you for all eternity

My eyes set on you In this race that I run
No longer my ways Let your will be done

Make me a servant My heart's ever true
Clinging to the cross I'll follow you I'll follow you

我永远不会忘记主你那丰富恩典

如今我在天父怀中因为你舍下自己

你不看我的过去只是完全接纳我
主你的爱何等伟大我的心完全融化

我亲爱救主我心何等感谢
你单单在意我这爱你的心
我愿一生追求跟随我主
谦卑为你服事这世界

我亲爱救主我要一生敬拜
在我生命中你是唯一的爱毫无保留
我愿献上所有何等渴慕能为你而活耶稣我主

Godlessness in the Last Days

2008-07-20T00:05:00.002+08:00

2 Timothy 3:1-5

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

Godlessness = lovers of themselves, without love, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

For Everything There’s a Season

2008-07-16T21:51:00.002+08:00

By Joy E. Walker Steward

We may not know the reason

For all of life’s suffering and pain,

But we know everything has its season,

So the sunshine will follow the rain;

There are even times when the sun shines

While the rain is still pouring down,

Those moments of grace God sends us,

Reminders that He’s still around;

So when adversity’s fire is burning,

Expect a cooling breeze;

Know that God is right in it with you

As He moves your growth to achieve;

Embrace His tender compassion

But yield to His discipline too

For the father loves each of his children

And knows best how to nurture you;

When life’s pruning is painful,

Don’t let bitterness enter your soul,

For when pruning is done you’ll be better,

Your heart and your spirit whole;

So if this is your season for weeping,

Know your tears will end with the night,

For joy always comes in the morning

When faith gives way to sight.

Breakfast at McDonalds - UNCONDITIONAL LOVE:)

2008-07-13T00:52:00.002+08:00

Breakfast at McDonald's

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.

The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.

Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So I thought this would be a piece of cake.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then

even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside me as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'.

His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.'

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to

LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

=) i love God =) i love people =)

Manhood - Dr Edwin Louis Cole

2008-07-08T11:25:00.001+08:00

God EXPECTS fruits in our lives. He expects manhood in our lives - becoming more like Christ.Whatever you are doing that is not productive in life is a dead work.

The Kingdom of God is based on truth not human sentiment.
Decisions must be made the same way
Decision-making is one of the marks of a man
Every successful man I know is DECISIVE

Decision, Toughness, Leadership - The MARKS of a Man.

Men have the ultimate responsibility for their decisions.
The essence of maturity is the acceptance of that responsibility. And maturity is the essence of manhood.

The more Word you have in you, the more Word-like, the more Christ-like, you become.Only greatness of Christ in our lives can make us great.

nice song...

誰都看出我在等你

風吹來的砂　

堆積在心裡

是誰也擦不出的痕跡

風吹來的砂　

穿過所有的記憶

誰都知道我在想你

風吹來的砂　

冥冥在哭泣

難道早就預言了

CGM - 28June 2008

2008-06-29T01:31:00.002+08:00

Being a True Friend (me as a Christian friend)

Friendship is meant to be developed, planned and cultivated.
There are 2 types of friends - Casual friend & Close friend.

Casual friends are the result of circumstances,
Close friends are result of choice.

The bible say that we must choose our friends wisely, as mentioned in Proverbs 12:26
"The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray"

Here are the types of people you should <u>avoidu> being as close friends with them:
- Lazy People
- Angry People
- Immoral people
- Greedy people
- Unbeliever

As seen in Proverbs 15:19 - The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns. But the way of the upright is a highway.
1Cor5:9 - I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

Here are the types/characteristics of people you should look out for for a close friend(s):
- Look for those who help me to be wise
(Proverbs 13:20 - He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed)

- Look for those who will help me share my burden
(Galatians 6:2 - Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ)

- Look for those who will help me grow spiritually
(Hebrews 10:24 - And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works)
sometimes, in a certain point in life, our spiritual self might be low, therefore we need friends who can help us, by stirring us up again! so as to serve God happily:D

Above all these mentioned, we, must be friendly!
Proverbs 18:24 - A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother

Lets seek God to find our true, close, best friend today!:D

See you guys in Church!=D

2008-06-28T00:29:00.002+08:00

hello guys!
its been a while since the blog got updated, so i'm here to drive the stacking-up-but-you-don't-see-it dust away!

anyway, its been a rather hectic week for me cause i just finished my mid semester test! woohoo! but then, i think i'm going to flunk the last 2 papers cause totally care-less. T.T nvm, there's another semestral exams! jiayous!

Growing in Passion for the Lord!
Passion = tense emotion, strong feeling, a great devotion and intense conviction which motivates us towards a compelling action.

3 Areas of being Passionate:
-Spiritual
-Passionate about serving one another (Acts 2:45)
-Passionate about living their life/live to God (Acts 2:46-47)

Prayer is the key to restore your passion for everything!
2Tim1:6

see you guys next cgm, which is tmr yea!:D

inspire.

haha hope i dont oversleep again!

Family..

2008-06-05T00:44:00.003+08:00

Hello guys! Just received an email from a friend of mine. Found it really meaningful, so that's why I'm here to share!=) Enjoy!

Something 4 all of u.
Enjoy :)

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.

He said, '! Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you.'

We were very polite, the stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,

'While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'

By this time, I felt very small,

And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said.

'Are these the flowers you picked for me?'
He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'

I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'
He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway.'

I said, 'Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'

FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

Pass this message down =)

You will receive a miracle tomorrow.
Don't ignore and God will bless

The Attitude of Humility

2008-05-17T21:32:00.007+08:00

Hi peeps! I'm here to round off yet another great week in Bible school!

Week after week, us SOT students are overloaded with tremendous revelations of the Word of God and its practical impact on our lives. However, though we are of course greatly blessed by all the head knowledge, I'm sure all of us will agree that there is an even better side of Bible school: Getting the opportunity to hear about men and women of God who have incredible attitudes!

Presenting to you... The leader of the world's largest church... Dr David Yonggi Cho!

Pst Ming shared with us about how many of our senior church leaders were over in Korea over the last week to attend Dr Cho's handing over service. After countless years of distinguished service to the kingdom of God, Dr Cho has decided to hand over the reigns of his 750,000 strong church to his No 2 man!

Pst Ming could not be there personally to witness the great event as he was committed to teaching us SOT students, but was constantly calling over to keep tabs on the proceedings.

Over in Korea, as Dr Cho handed over the leadership position of his church, tens of thousands of his members cried and grieved. This was actually a pretty interesting scene, as one would expect a 750,000 strong church to feel pretty distant from their pastor!

Upon speaking to the locals, our pastors finally found out why everyone present at the event was so deeply affected.

You see... Dr David Yonggi Cho had a reputation over there with the locals: He never turns anyone away.

Despite being the leader of the biggest church in the world, and one of the most respected personalities worldwide, Dr Cho maintained such humility and love that he would speak to and encourage anyone who came to him. Regardless of age, race or social status, Dr Cho loved people the same way Jesus would. With this love, he left a tremendous impact on the lives of many.

If you and I were to retire today, how many people would cry over it? =) Food for thought.

********

Of course, that was a story about possibly the greatest man of God of his generation! Everything that is about him would probably be amazing isn't it?

Interestingly, with the return of our leaders, another story floated through about the people of Yoido Full Gospel Church.

Yoido Full Gospel Church boasts a really large congregation--- far beyond what their own church building could contain. As such, they often hold prayer meetings and services at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, with a maximum seating capacity of more than 250,000 (That's if I don't remember wrongly).

During that week, one such meeting took place, and our leaders were present at the event. Lunch boxes were served (interesting culture isn't it?) during one of the breaks and the entire crowd had their meals in the stadium.

Of course, it is then inevitable that the stadium would be dirtied isn't it? Check this incident out.

Our leaders were just looking around when they saw this member drop food from his lunchbox onto the floor. You can't really fault that guy anyway... how many of us can claim that we never ever spill or drop our food?

What's notable then, is the response of the Yoido Full Gospel Church members. An eagle-eyed man standing nearby immediately noticed this, paced over, bent down, and scooped up the food with his BARE HANDS. He then proceeded to clean up the mess, leaving the stadium floor as clean as if nothing has ever been spilled.

Our leaders were impressed with this man's action, and went over to commend him. They wanted to know if this usher was actually a full time staff working in church, since his attitude was fantastic. The man's response? He's actually a PROFESSOR in one of the leading universities there, and simple serving as an usher for that day's event. Far from a full time church staff, he was just 1 out of 750,000 faces that the church ministers to every week. Yet this man cherished the house of God so much that he was willing to get himself dirty simply to clean up the place fast. And this was not even their own church building! This was the World Cup Stadium, well equipped with cleaners who have been hired to deal with such messes!

You see... there is a reason why Yoido Full Gospel Church is the role model for all the churches around the world! It is not so much the charisma of one man, or the brilliant management model or worship style, but the spiritual DNA that runs through every single disciple, all the way down from Dr Cho. God gave this church explosive growth and overflowing fruitfulness and influence, because their members and leader possess world-class attitudes and humility.

Jesus Himself showed the way in this area, isn't it?

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!"

"Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. "

Phillipians 2: 5-13 (NIV)

Men look for better methods, but God looks for better men. Amen.

The Day I was Silent

2008-04-25T21:25:00.005+08:00

Hi peeps, back after my 3rd/4th week of SOT! Lost count with my crazy schedule over the weeks...

This week, Pst Ming took all our lessons. Aside from charming us with his fantabulous humour, he also shared a story that impacted me a lot.

*************

*real story*

A man boarded the train in one of Europe's busy subways, dragging his 2-3 year old son behind him. He looked terribly unkempt, complete with messy hair, dark circles and a 3-day old stubble. His shoulders were drooped and his head hung low. He walked to an empty seat and slumped into it, his lifeless eyes staring blankly into the distance. His son wriggled free of his grip and proceeded to dash around the train cabin, jumping onto seats, throwing things at passengers, screaming, shouting, and generally making a nuisance of himself.

A passenger sitting opposite the man observed this situation for about 20 minutes. Apart from having his toes trampled by the tyrant of a kid, he had been interrupted from his reading by the chaos and noise generated. He resisted the urge to grab the boy and give him a thrashing, and contemplated confronting the father. After another 5 minutes, he finally stood up, strode across the train to the man, and said,

"Sir, I'm sorry. But this is a public train. Could you please stop your son from disturbing and irritating the passengers?"

The father blinked, and casted his lifeless gaze on the man standing before him.

"Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. All I know is, my wife -the mother of this boy- just passed away 30 minutes ago in the hospital."

With that, he lowered his gaze and resumed his vacant observation of the grey cabin walls.

The passenger, speechless and at a loss, stood rooted to the spot before this picture of gloom.

***************

Most of the time, when we observe situations and make our judgments, we fail to see the full picture. We neglect to understand the extent of pain or suffering the parties involved had gone through. Instead, we arrive at unfair conclusions and blast it out in self-righteous tones.

Have you ever criticised a friend? Have you ever complained about the way things are done?

Have you ever refused to cooperate just because you don't like the situation?

My answers to all the questions are yes's. What are yours?

In conclusion, I think you guys would surely go out and try to listen and understand more instead of judging people. On the other hand, I would like to beseech all of you to stand up for our leaders. Here's men and women of God who have laid down their lives for God and sacrificed countless time, energy and finances both for the church and for the welfare of their members: us. Lets lay down our lives to protect and serve our leaders, all the way from the pastors to the cell group leaders.

Why? Because though they are all not perfect, we do not see how many tears they have shed and how many sacrifices they have made for God and for their people.

When Pst Ming shared this story in SOT, I was struck dumb. I had to stop writing and reflect on my attitudes over the years. You might point out that no one sees the things YOU go through too. The crux then, is this: my leaders have maintained a top-rate attitude in spite of all things, and this great attitude goes up to heaven as a sweet-smelling aroma towards God. Dare you say the same of yourself?

I would lay down my life for these guys, to do my very very best to make their dreams happen. Would you?

Never never give up...

One day I decided to quit…

I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality… I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

‘God’, I asked, ‘Can you give me one good reason not to quit?’

His answer surprised me…

‘Look around’, He said. ‘Do you see the fern and the bamboo?’

‘Yes’, I replied.

‘When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.

I gave them light.

I gave them water.

The fern quickly grew from the earth.

Its brilliant green covered the floor.

Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.

And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on
the bamboo. He said.

‘In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.

But I would not quit.

In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would

not quit.’ He said.

‘Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared

to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6

months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong
and gave it what it needed to survive.

I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.’

He asked me. ‘Did you know, my child, that all this time you have
been struggling, you have actually been growing roots’.

‘I would not quit on the bamboo.

I will never quit on you.’

‘Don’t compare yourself to others.’

He said.

‘The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.

Yet they both make the forest beautiful.’

‘Your time will come’, God said to me.

‘You will rise high’

‘How high should I rise?’

I asked.

‘How high will the bamboo rise?’ He asked in return.

‘As high as it can?’ I questioned.

‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Give me glory by rising as high as you can.’

I left the forest and brought back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

Never, Never, Never Give up.

For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.

Don’t tell the Lord how big the problem is,

tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

Heavens door open this morning, God asked me…

‘My CHILD, what can I do for you?’

And I said, ‘FATHER, please protect and bless the one reading this message.’

God smiled and answered, ‘Request granted.’

This message is now in your hands.

What will YOU do with it?

When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” -Matt 3:16,17

Hey peeps, this is Ziyang here...

Easter and B-Olympics has just passed, and I would like to thank the many of you who have helped in one way or another... It might be real simple things like helping to buy stuff, book seats or talk to friends, but they are significant in God's eyes! You know why? Because, in this most important weekend where Jesus laid down His life for us because we were in His heart, He gets to see us serving Him in our own little ways from the bottom of our hearts!

Thank you everyone for contributing in your own ways =) Because you serve God sincerely and from the bottom of your heart, God gives you His double thumbs up!

2008-03-12T01:10:00.004+08:00

From an email :)

----------------------------

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy ? Is he going to be all right ? When can I see him ?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care any more ? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through hi s thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair ?' the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.

The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.

She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said :

'Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You' . I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day.

Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me.

This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD ! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything.

But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him ?'

'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool ? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life.

Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either.

That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery ! How about that ?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

Blind Susan

2008-02-17T19:58:00.002+08:00

The attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats,walked down the aisle and found the seat he'd told her was empty. Then she settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind.

Due to a medical mis-diagnosis she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Once a fiercely independent woman, Susan now felt condemned by this terrible twist of fate to become a powerless, helpless burden on everyone around her. "How could this have happened to me?" she would plead, her heart knotted with anger.

But no matter how much she cried or ranted or prayed, she knew the painful truth her sight was never going to return. A cloud of depression hung over Susan's once optimistic spirit. Just getting through each day was an exercise in frustration and exhaustion. And all she had to cling to was her husband Mark.

Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all of his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidences he needed to become independent again. Mark's military background had trained him well to deal with sensitive situations, and yet he knew this was the most difficult battle he would ever face.

Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city. At first, this comforted Susan and fulfilled Mark's need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task.

Soon, however,Mark realized that this arrangement wasn't working - it was hectic, and costly. Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he admitted to himself. But just the thought of mentioning it to her made him cringe. She was still so fragile, so angry. How would she react? Just as Mark predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. "I'm blind!", she responded bitterly. "How am I supposed to know where I'm going? I feel like you're abandoning me."

Mark's heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that each morning and evening he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it. And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day.

He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat. He made her laugh, even on those not-so-good days when she would trip exiting the bus, or drop her briefcase. Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a cab back to his office. Although this routine was even more costly and exhausting than the previous one, Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to ride the bus on her own.

He believed in her,in the Susan he used to know before she'd lost her sight, who wasn't afraid of any challenge and who would never, ever quit. Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus riding companion, her husband, and her best-friend. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, his love. She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. She was doing it! She was going to work all by herself!

On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying for her fare to exit the bus, the driver said, "Boy, I sure envy you."

Susan wasn't sure if the driver was speaking to her or not. After all, who on earth would ever envy a blind woman who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year? Curious, she asked the driver, "Why do you say that you envy me?"

The driver responded, "It must feel so good to be taken care of and protected like you are."

Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, and asked again, "What do you mean?"

The driver answered, "You know, every morning for the past week, a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you when you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady."

Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. For although she couldn't physically see him, she had always felt Mark's presence. She was lucky, so lucky, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, a gift she didn't need to see to believe - the gift of love that can bring light where there had been darkness.

The strength of a man

2008-02-17T19:55:00.000+08:00

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.
It's in the width of his arms that encircle you.

The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It's in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It's how good a buddy he is with his children.

The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.I
t's in how respected he is at home.

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.
It's in how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest.
It's in his heart, that lies within his chest.

The strength of a man isn't how many women he's loved.
It's in being true to one woman.

The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It's in the burdens he can carry.

Atmosphere

2008-01-28T00:40:00.000+08:00

"There's a destiny that shapes our ends Horatio, rough hew them how we will" -Hamlet

The atmosphere we live in shapes our lives.
The invisible shapes the visible.
The seen is a product of the unseen.
We live our the culture we live in.
The atmosphere we create within ourselves is the life we will live, the thoughts we think the emotions we feel.
We create our own atmosphere with the words we speak, the attitudes we hold and the songs we sing.
We create our culture with the vision we have, the people we mix with and the values we live by.
Let's shape up!

3:16

2008-01-16T17:08:00.000+08:00

This is so beautiful!
John 3:16
A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, The people were in and out of the cold.
The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers.

He walked up to a policeman and said, 'Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight. sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay.'

The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, 'You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in.' So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, 'John 3:16.' The lady said, 'Come on in, Son.'

She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went off.

The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16 ... I don't understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm.

Later she came back and asked him 'Are you hungry?' He said, 'Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of Days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food,' The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of wonderful food.He ate and ate until he couldn't eat any more.
Then he thought to himself: John 3:16 ...Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full.

She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a while.

As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16 ... I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean.

You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out. The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night,

He thought to himself: John 3:16 ...I don't understand it but tt sure makes a tired boy rested.

The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same big table full of food. After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old Bible.

She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face. 'Do you understand John 3:16?' she asked gently. He replied, 'No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it.' She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus . Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, He gave his heart and life to Jesus.

He sat there and thought: John 3:16 - don't understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy feel safe.

You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, How God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand The agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense love for me that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions . Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.' Pass this on only if you mean it.

I do Love God. He is my source of existence. He keeps me functioning each and every day.
-Phil 4:13

If you love God and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you, send this on. Take 60 seconds & give this a shot! Let's just see if Satan stops this one. All you do is: 1) Simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this, 'Father, God bless this person in whatever it is that You know he or she may be needing this day!'

2) Then send it on to ten other people. within hours ten people have prayed for you, and you caused a multitude of people to pray to God for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves.

God Bless you and your families today and everyday.

the happy family

"...Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10,11

Please pray for all the people who are lonely this Christmas.
For many people, Christmas is a time of great joy. Other people may be alone, and afraid, and not have anyone to spend the holidays with.
Please pray that others would come around them and show them love.

Believe! This is the week of Christmas - and it is so important that we believe God and receive Christ.

When the angel Gabriel spoke to the virgin Mary over 2,000 years ago and said she would have a Son even though she was a virgin, she did not doubt - she believed. She said “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” Mary believed God - and she received God’s promise, the Christ child.

When you celebrate Christmas this year, focus on Christ — the wonderful son of God who came to earth to be our Savior. Believe in Him as the Son of God; receive Him in to your heart if you have not done so already. And let’s pray that:

Millions of people across the whole world will believe in God and in Jesus Christ as the Son of God

People everywhere will receive Christ as their Savior and Lord
Your own friends and family will all welcome Christ as their personal Savior

When Christ came to be born on earth, people had a simple choice - would they believe in Him as Savior? Would they receive Him into their lives? Would they welcome Him?

Our choice is the same today. Let us celebrate the birth of Christ into the world - and into our hearts. Merry Christmas!

Jesus is the hope that lives within us, and we boldly share His promises to those seeking Him.

"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because He belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son." Luke 2:4 - 7

"Christmas is coming! The night that Jesus Christ was born, angels sang "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests".
The angels appeared to shepherds. Shepherds were among the poor of society -- they watched sheep and were out in the fields at night, not in their homes. But the shepherds had faith in God. The Bible says

"When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.' So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger."

The baby Jesus was born over 2,000 years ago -- but the great news is He is alive today! He is alive in heaven, where He is with God His Father -- and He is alive on earth in the hearts of all those who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior. Our time on this earth is very short -- but soon we will see Jesus in heaven, who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Let us worship Him this Christmas.

O, what a winning innovation
Founder started performing arts centre to fund non-profit school for dropouts
Weekend • December 15, 2007
Lin Yanqin yanqin@mediacorp.com.sg

RUNNING a non-profit school to help youth dropouts to complete their O levels is a worthy cause — but with high rental costs and student bursaries to fund, it is also an expensive one. So, to offset the mounting costs of running the City Harvest Education Centre (CHEC), founder and principal Kenny Low (picture) last year started a performing arts centre called the O School. Its dance classes generate revenue to pay for the costs of CHEC and also provides steady employment for promising young talents to become full-time instructors, performers and choreographers.

Mr Low's entrepreneurial spirit, coupled with his mission to reach out to youth, won him this year's Schwab Social Entrepreneur of the Year award at the Social Innovators' Forum gala dinner on Friday night. Said Mr Kevin Teo, head of the Schwab Foundation of Social Entrepreneurship's East and South-east Asia offices, who sat on the judging panel: "Using unconventional approaches to address the needs of a challenging student population and leveraging a social business to support the operation of the school, Kenny certainly provides an inspiring role model for Singapore's next wave of social entrepreneurs."

Speaking of his experience in starting and running a social enterprise, Mr Low felt that although seed funding was valuable, it was important not to handhold such businesses too much.

"After we got funding … there was no alternative, we had to make it," he said. "It made us tougher, and now we're sustainable. As entrepreneurs, we must have backbone and not let a lack of support hinder us from trying."

O School is now recognised as a leading dance studio, training the likes of Singapore Idol winners Taufik Batisah and Hady Mirza, and organising dance conferences like The Big Groove.

At the same time, the school helps reach out to youth at risk by engaging them through dance.

Social enterprises like O School can't maximise profits for shareholders since it channels some of this back to supporting its social causes. But Mr Low chooses to focus on the intangible benefits. "The power to create jobs, to create a service needed by people … there is economic value in it," he said. "It shouldn't be seen as a sacrifice."
