" ; 6:06 PM "
Today's service was truly eyeopening. It wasn't just any ordinairy service, well first, it started with cell.
I went to church half an hour early as usual, and saw ming xiu on the way. She asked me to come join the cell leaders cell, and i thought :O okay... but i didn't wanna wait around sadly, so i followed her.
Uncle Allan,Rachel and another girl was there. I don't know what's her name. But anyway. i was the youngest, Uncle Allan was leading worship, with his guitar, i didn't know he could play so well :O
Anyway, I felt real awkward, i mean.. I wasn't a cell lead. So anyway, Uncle Allan continued preaching, i confess I felt kinda scared of him. Cuz he's like such a yknow... Staunch Christian,
and i didn't seem faithful enough or something. I don't know. I felt like he knew all the stuff i did wrong.
But he shared the word of James, and told us stories, and you know what? It was a really good experience. He had this to say :
you know the word Christian? See what happens when you take away 'Christ'
IAN = I am Nothing.
yep. I'm really scared that I'll lost the gist of what he said.
But i remember, that you MUST remain positive, when faced with trials. And it's not a coincidence that all my spiritual happenings somehow connect with everything I learn in church.
I pray that God will give me the power to share the gospel with those who are lacking in faith.
"Consider it pure joy brothers, when we are faced with trials, for trials develops peserverance"
God tests us, the devil tempts us. These tests are to test our faith, if we fail them, we will face temptation.
Trials can make us either better or bitter. It's up to us to pray for overcoming power. God does not give us overcoming life, he gives us life as we overcome.
We should not pray for a bad situation to go away, we should pray for the strength to overcome.
I am now going to face all my problems with a positive outlook. Starting with comm meeting tomorrow.
I am not going to complain, it's not going to help. I don't care what you guys might say about me, I will put God at the top of my list of priorities, and I'm applying his word in everything I do.
I don't care, if you guys want me to lead, expect me to lead with God. With God on my side, i can overcome anything. So if you're not happy or anything, I'm not really going to care, but I'm going to do what the Lord tells me.
And comm, out of 8 members, 6 of us know God. So, i may share some biblical stuff tomorrow. Without the truth(the word of God), I will not be able to do anything, so don't expect me to do anything if you won't let me apply some Christian values into our problem. Okay?
Christianity is a pure religion, not a manly religion. It is a relationship, with God. So you know what, you ask me where i get my morals and values from, I'm telling you, God.
So if you want this problem solved, you have to take things seriously. And you'd better. Please?
I have to explain things from the top, so it may take awhile, but I believe I've got a solution.
