Haaaaa.. I'm back

Been awhile since I last even visit the blog and post something.
I guess this blog has become as a guage/pitstop of my 'spiritual walk', showing how often there's the 'renewing of my mind'.
Apparently I ain't a person that is consistent with his 'checkpoints'.

Some checkpoints since a few weeks back:?
Church's June camp went past. The sermons came with a good dose of encouragements and challenges. The fellowship with one another was cherished and enjoyed. I am really quite glad I was able to go.
Cycling with the younger guys was next. Fell down and suffered cuts and bruises since a long time.
Then, life back in army comes back to me with all the 'World'. "Satan always like to tempts us after our mountain-top experiences"- FBI stuff. For me, being a good testimony(compromising values) and still conscious of the eternal needs of the unsaved was a struggle.
Fiddling with the organ at home this few days, trying very hard to play a tune. Kinda hope I do know abit more on music.


Today the Church launches on the new series on 'Peacemaking'. I enjoyed how easily applicable it is to the life of me and many others. From daily relationships with family to friends and classmates/colleagues, to even church conflict(something our church knows very well of by now), to conflicts between nations. There is always some rubbing of interests, disagreement that turn nasty. It's nice to listen how everyone got their own stories of conflicts in their lifes.

Going to serve in the AV team (or rather help ze gang). Rather intriguing even before actually doing yet. Haha. Thank God for ze gang and yan howe serving all these years in this area, it's about time this area of service be recongnised and worked on.

Just to say one thing I do learn as a whole from these weeks, is the frequent occurences of pride(big or small) in my life. And how humbleness is all the more neccessary. To be really humble and having a clear conscience before God and man. Always regarding others better than self.

I ain't a saint. Just a sinner saved by Grace- quote.

Within these walls

This is the church theme song.
The thing to note is all the cannot be more direct scriptural reference in the chorus.

Be ye careful!

Not only does media hinders communication, it also makes us subconsciously accept truths that ain't really the truth.

Check out today's new about littering.
"How they explain away their action(littering) is similar for locals and foreigners- akin to how criminals rationalise their behaviour." said Prof Ganapathy.
'People are rationalising the irrational'


Staying grounded in God's word is the way to go.

Indeed, our life is clearly defined. Indeed living life is still a clouded mystery.


Some have life, they have complete mastery of life- with the destiny in their own hands, being a firm believer of reaping what one sow.
Some have life, they have it all to 'luck' and chance."- always banging on opportunities and fortune, trusting their well-being on 'luck'
Some have life, they are for predestination- almost convinced they are as good as they are borned to be, glorying in their advantages and toiling at their limitations.

Learning, I am one for all.

As the people around me, those in camp and those in church, got bothered and troubled over the dealings of people and relationships, I was obviously affected.

This had me thinking. No doubt the perils of it is that I will tend to 'lean on my understanding' (proverbs 3)

No problem on 'reaping what you sow' theory. It's that straight forward. Predestination works more on genetic, moral, social or spiritual make-up of a person. Not exactly easy to grasp, also not hard to understand.

What about 'luck' and chances? Interestingly, my friend in camp pointed out that 'luck' could be the closest thing to God (more specifically, God's will). When we can't possibly control the roll of a dice, when even the wisest don't know the outcome, that's when we see God is in control, literally. Yet such radical resorts are always the most difficult to accecpt.

Drawing of lots, leaving things to chance should always be the last resort, and solely for decsion-making only; we constantly need some overseer to do everything possible to avoid this resort-for it defies the law of 'sowing and reaping', it denies people of their 'assumed' destiny.

Seeing how my plantoon mate sort out matters regarding splits and how my chruch deals with things have many in similar. 'Luck' was the main actor in camp. Church is going to cling on Sovereignty.

My life this week seems rocky. With bumps here and there. Need to think (worry would be a better word) what exactly to study after army, given i was rejected by the local U's this year. Need to think (trust God should fit both) about the flaws, in my behavior, in my body, and dealings with life.

Thinking about taking stock even as half the year has already passed. A glance upwards and a reminder of the Cross sure put things in good perspective.

Life cannot be more complete and full, no matter how perplexing- when Christ is in the very center.

to love as He love,
in thoughts,
with words,
with actions......
