To the consistent Christian life

Reviewing and considering some of the points being preached by both Mike and Mark Herbster throughout camp.
"Doing life service, not lip service"
"Impact people, not impress people"
"Have hefty, not wimpy peer pressure"
"Work-less faith is a worthless faith"

Many others which are really interesting and really provide a fresh perspective to preaching and personal challenge.

Now I am in the hospital just continuing on this post  as what I left off as draft a week back.
It's really kind of unexpected and weird to be admitted into the hospital since yesterday.The same nausea and discomfort. The environment with it's sight, smell and sound of it really calls for some form of depression of sort.  Knowing that God is in control of this seems abit harder. It's always nice to have people visiting, dropping by, lifting my spirit and boredom a little in the most real of manner. It's interesting to note how i can spend the whole day at home last time without these strange thoughts.

It was somewhat impacted on me that to have the consistent Christian life means more than being than steady or in worse case stubborn guy.
Its's all about being humble, accepting that I can, do, will fall, and then, if I do fall, will  from there sanctify myself and walk in God's goodness once again. Of course it's about choosing right each time a pitfall comes your way. Then don't all men/women come out stronger, more fired up when picked up from a fall as opposed to a path of all rights? I'm mixed about this when it comes to the sharing of such testimonies.

Truth vs Love. Truth often stings people because they are hard to accept. Yet the bible truth of love still stands. A good reminder in light of all the zeal of us young people in imposing truths while forgetting the love for the brother. A good read I had from the book Pastor Chung Howe got me yesterday.  "Little exercise for young theologians"

Last thought for the youths in church. Is becoming a real Christian liken to becoming part of what the world does? Namely the more extreme activities. Praying about my role in the youth ministry in the coming years.

As I end off this post in my bed in the hospital, with a netbook, ipod, internet and books. For good or bad, in everything give thanks, to God.

Enjoying the simplicity and joy of children songs

My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty,
There's nothing my God cannot do.
For you!

My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty,
There's nothing my God cannot do.
For you!

The mountains are His,
The valleys are His,
The stars are His handiwork too.

My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty,
There's nothing my God cannot do.
FOR YOU!
