Let my people think - Seminar

Hi pple,

Before I leave, I thought I should remind you all of a seminar to be held in church.

July 11 to 13 2007
7.30 to 9.30pm
SAV
$10 / pax

Speaker: LT jeyachandran

Topics include: Loving God with all our minds, Understanding and explaining Christian Beliefs (Trinity, Humanity, incarnation, etc.)

There's a longer write up on the topic, but it'll be too tedious to type out. In a nutshell, I think the aim of the seminar is to show us Christians that we can worship God with our minds.

Please go and take notes for me :)

Would love to be there but i'll still be away with my family.

You'll have to register k? just call the church office or something.

Agape,
Sarah

Bible study 09/06/2007

New verse for this week. This is verse number 8. Hope this verse will encourage those who are struggling to trust God. Clearly the verse states that God will reward those who earnestly seek him and God is pleased when we have faith in him.

Faith Pleases God
Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

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

Bible study 09/06/2007.

This is a summary of the bible study we had during cell group. I hope this will be useful for those who could not attend cell.

Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-28

What attitudes are affirmed in this passage?

Ans:

Be joyful, prayerful and thankful.

Do not put out the spirit's fire.

Qn: What are the things in our lives which put out the Holy Spirit's fire in our lives?

Eg. Work, More work, Relationships, Our own thoughts and worries, entertainment. e.t.c.

Qn: What can we do to ensure we relight the Holy Spirit's fire in us?

Ans: Ephesians 4:22 To put off your old self which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of minds and to put on your new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
How to do we put on the new self?

First, we must be willing to surrender to God our old self(difficult part)
And then we ask him to renew our minds. Romans 12:2 affirms this when Paul urges the believers not to conform to the world but be transformed by the renewing of minds. Only then can we test and approve what God's will is. A good example from the bible is Daniel who prayed to God three times a day.


Questions for self reflection.

Qn: On a scale of 1-10, how joyful are you? how much of this joy comes from God? What can u do to help yourself experience more joy from God everyday?


Summary: Chapter 7 encourages Christian community and stresses the need to for us to support those who are idle and weak. The last part of the bible study lists some qualities tt we should have as Christians and how these qualities will help build up the community esp during worship. Examples of these qualities listed by Paul are being Joyful, Prayerful and Thankful. Are we as a cell grp exhibiting these qualities when interacting with others in the christian community? otherwise we are no different from the pple in the world.

Memory Verses

Hello to all, Ruijie here. How's everybody recently? Here are the memory verses, all refered to NIV

Assurance of Salvation
Rev 3:20

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Confession of sins
1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Be filled with the Spirit
Ephesians 5:18

Do not get drunk on wine which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit.

Be doers of God's word
James 1:22

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

Using God's word
2 Tim 3:16-17

All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Pray about everything
Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

LATEST VERSE!

He cares for you
1 Peter 5:6-7

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

I strongly encourage everyone to try memorising all the verses.
Remember Matt 24:25 Jesus said to his disciples " Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away".
Clearly, we are investing our time and effort in an eternal investment today. Let us channel our effort and time to the word of God despite our busy lives.

The River

God's passion is an endless river
White water running wild
In a restless rushing fury
To see souls reconciled

It reaches wide across forever
It's dangerous and deep
And while some venture
to the shoreline
Some even dare to leap

And the river rages
The river runs
All through the ages
Long after I'm gone
There's a truth I'm finding
I can't ignore
Whether I dive in or stand
on the shore
The river keeps rushing on

All of those who ride the rapids
Have a message they must tell
There's a joy in being lost
in something
That's bigger than yourself

And though the current
takes you places
Where you learn to lose control
And if you think you're going under
He'll never let you go
Never let you go

Toward some quiet
sea somewhere
There's nothing like the
journey there

Prayer points for the week

Hi all, let's pray together for the nations. Let God guide you in what to pray. Come ready to share what He has revealed through your prayers.

Yemen
Pray for a tentmaker in a remote area with no more than a handful of known believers. Pray for good contacts with neighbours and for creativity to reach them with the gospel.

Lebanon
Pray for the situation in Lebanon, which is on the edge of civil war again. Many commentators are expecting a civil war again which will bring the country into deeper problems.

Turkmenistan
Although the situation in the cty is often despairing and discouraging, the church continues to grow. Pray for encouragement for the believers and more freedom for them to be able to worship together and share the Gospel with their countrymen.

Sudan
Pray for children and youth workers in an oil rich area were there is much political tension. The church there is very weak. Ask God to give this church joy to be more effective with youth and children.

Timor Leste
Pray that as the nation goes to the polls to select a new leader, that God's will will be sovereign. Thank God for the opportunities He has given the church through the current leader and pray that missionaries who are currently in Timor Leste will continue to perservere in their ministry.

Scripture memory Verse #4

Hello everybody, Jon has reminded me to continue the scripture memory verse for this week's cell. Pls try to remember all 4 verses by saturday. At the same time, let us not forget our commitments to God especially when the work starts to pile up.
Have a good week at work or in school.


But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
James 1:22

----------Ruijie--------------

I know I've said this before, but still, I just want to take this opportunity ('blogging duty!') to thank you guys for all your help during my mom's wake. It was tremendous, and I am touched, by your prayers and presence throughout.

Anyway, it is still a daily emotional struggle. On good days, I wonder what she is doing now.. (is she helping God to take care of the flowers in Eden, as she always did in the market??) On bad days, I wake up crying because of a dream I have of her.

It really pains my heart to see my father, brother, aunties, uncles and cousins struggling to come to terms with this too, some of them putting up fronts to cover up for their sadness. We have more of such family gatherings now, since this incident came so suddenly, and so many of us have been awakened not to take one another for granted.

My relatives have been gathering around and giving me pep talks and advice:

4th uncle: "ah ching you must eat more fruits ok, anything pls call me! Don't be paiseh ok! now your mummy not around, must be more independent.."
1st auntie: it's really easy to cook soup, just dump all the ingredients into the pot, come back from work, boil then can drink already!"
adventurous cousin: "when u free, bring u and your brother go sailing ok."
and so on etc

In a sense, I've lost my mom but i've suddenly regained an extended family.. I know I've got to give thanks for that also. It was really great that they got to hear about the message during the wake.. for now I am praying for each and everyone of them that they will know God.. before it is too late..

Yep.. I will miss my mom forever... Miss her naggings mostly (ha!). and yeah, I cannot wait for that day when we will all be reunited in the Lord again.

Location: Tanjong Beach, Sentosa.

Time: 2.15pm

Program: 4 different kinds of games, a mixture of high energy & low energy to cater to different ppl J

Each cell would make you own arrangements to meet up and to reach Tanjong Beach at 2.15pm. Please cooperate and be there on time, so that we’ll not keep one another waiting!

Mkk has kindly helped to source out a location and some “getting there” information, and below are the details on how yr cells can get there!

Hi Jayne.

here are some info on how to get to Tanjong Beach.

I think it would be better if we can meet at the beach directly because i think it'll be quite crowded for us to go together as a big group all the way from vivo on a saturday afternoon.

There are 6 ways to get there.

1. Take bus from the harbourfront interchange. Then change to Yellow Line or Red Line Bus.

2. Take the sentosa express train from Vivo city to the beach station. And then change to the beach tram that goes to Tanjong Beach.

3. Drive in $2 (car) + $2 (admission per pax) and park directly at Tanjong Beach Car Park.

4. Walk in and find a bus that goes to Tanjong Beach.. (not recommended unless they really want to save $1)

5. Take taxi straight to tanjong beach. May be quite worth if there are 4 pple.

6. Cable Car for those who want a full touristy journey there.

Charges: $2 (admission) + $1 (transport)

Would suggest that those cells that have many pple driving should consider car pooling to save $$ on transport =)

Blessings,

Elena

New Cell Format

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know about the new cell format that we’ll be having for 2007, and how everyone will be involved, so here goes:

1. New Duty Roster

There will be a new duty roster that will be based on the following components: Welcome, Worship, Word and Blogging

The person who is doing the Welcome will be able to choose either to do sharing, or to play a game for the week that he/she is in-charge of. I would recommend alternate weeks of sharing and games, so as to provide a bit more variety. Furthermore, the person who is in-charge of welcome will also be in-charge of prayer. The prayer pointers have to be clear and precise, and please ensure that you have spent the week seeking the Lord.

The blogging duties will be on a weekly basis, where the person on duty will have to blog one lesson (or multiples if you want) that God has taught you for the week. This is to ensure that we will all get to see how God is moving in each individual’s life.

For the people down for cell duty on that week, you will be meeting 15mins before the cell meeting to gather for a time of prayer, so as to give God the proper respect and to prepare your hearts. Please remember that we are all priests before the Lord, and that we are preparing and bringing the people into the Holy of Holies, so lets accord God the proper respect.

2. Bible Study

In an endeavour not to speed through the Bible Study, and to try to internalize the lessons learnt for our lives, each chapter will be covered over two weeks. The first part of the BS will be covered in the 1st week of the month, followed by the 2nd week of sharing what has really impacted you from the study, and how you have applied it to your life. After that we will then complete the Bible Study in the 3rd week, and it will then be followed by another sharing session in the 4th week (where the sharing will be done in a cell outing)

This is to ensure that we take our time to apply the things that we have learned into our lives. There is no point in doing a “hit and run” study, if the BS does not bring about life change, and we are not becoming more like Jesus.

3. Cell Format

On every 2nd and 4th week of the month, the cell will be engaged in a time of sharing what God has taught us from the BS, as well as taking the time to pray for one another, and to keep one another accountable for how we are going to apply the lessons into our lives.
Furthermore, on every 4th week of the month, we will be having a cell outing, and this is an example of what will take place: For example, for the month of Feb, we will be having an all guys and all girls cell outing, where we will share with one another our lives and what God has been teaching us, and then in March, we will have a combined cell outing altogether on the 4th week. This will depend on whether or not you all will be working, so really pray that God will enable you to meet on that week. This is to enable us to share about our lives and to really keep each other in prayer.

4. Accountability

Remember what we shared about what we wanted each other to keep us accountable to? Well, we are going to share our accountability on week 2 and 4 of every month, during our times of sharing, as well as during our outings. This is to ensure that we are on track, and that we also learn community living by supporting one another in prayer.

5. Thanksgiving Jar

This is just an idea to really learn to thank God in all circumstances. I will be bringing a jar to cell every week, and everybody will get a chance to thank God for one /more things that God has blessed them for that week (whether it is a small blessing or a big blessing). We will then take it out at the end of the year and really see how God has really blessed us.

This is to enable us to to see the tangible Hand of God moving in the midst of our lives.

So, its really going to be an exciting year ahead, and lets really give our utmost for His Highest, and pray for spiritual breakthroughs in our lives, and in the lives of the people that we come into contact with on a weekly basis.

Shalom,
JONATHAN YOONG

PRAY!!!

Ok here's a quick lesson learnt from sunday sermon by John Loong

What does P-R-A-Y means?

P =Practice
R = Relational
A = Asking God
Y = Yielding To God

We need to practice pray often to b able to use it in good measure. The more we practice the better we get.
Christian walk is not a religion as what others sees it but rather a RELATIONSHIP. If you are in a relationship with someone, you would definately wanna talk to the person you love, and spend a lot of time with the person right? So prayer is about communicating with God. It helps to build up your relationship with Him.
In pray, we often ask of Him. Like Bishop John Tan put it. We often fall in the common prayer of G-M-T (ie Give Me This, Give Me That)
But prayer, if often more than just asking God for our needs and wants. Its about asking for the bigger picture in life and for the salvation of the people around us that we love.
Lastly, in prayer we often humble ourselves before the Lord, letting Him take control of the situation rather than we taking control of things.

So a challenge for all, do PRAY. I know i haven't done so for a long time. But an encouragement, just the past week things are beginning to look better for once since Dec'06. The number of prayers I actually made was perhaps more than what i actually did in the past 4 years.(including grace before meals) I am guilty of ignoring Him many times. Perhaps its time to really get serious with Him. One great friend once told me that why people can move on so easily in life. Its because they have found substitues to fill the void and emptiness in them. But he challenged me to let God fill that void in me. Its not easy, mere words are really hard to swallow. But once I actually decided to make that choice, trust me there's lotsa distractions. Handling such distractions are not easy. But through prayer and reading of His Word and devoting to worshipping Him, has brought a lot of joy and peace of mind. Knowing that whatever happens in the future is in His control, not yours. Like a lot of people, i mean really a lot of people told me this. If its yours is yours. So with God in us, there is always an assurance that He is there. He will have a plan to prosper us not harm us. Of course, the walk will never be an easy one. So let me be an encouragement to anyone that I was down but I am moving on not alone but focused on Him. I really thank that great friend for his little words of wisdom, and to those around me who have to bear my constant whinning. (haha you know who you are) Thanks.

I am Back
Progidal Son

In the midst of my lowest point

Just wanna share a song. A song that ministered to me when I am really down and lost and feels like all hope and aim are gone.
Its so true that everytime you decide to do your own way and take things in your own hand, somehow everything just falls apart. Only then will we realised where can we turn to except to God. He will always be there. Sometimes words are easier said. When we are in a broken state, when all confindence and everything we hold dear to is gone. Everything seems so bleak and uncertain. We can only holdfast to the His Love and just come to Him in humility. Trusting Him to carry us through once again.

REFUGE
I sing a love song to you Lord
Everyday every night
Tell of Your goodness and mercy

Tell the world how You rescued me
Picked me up from sin and shame
Your breath gives me new life

Where can I go from Your Presence
Under Your wings I take refuge
Your Spirit lives within my heart
I know We'll never be apart

Everyday I draw closer to You Lord
I long to see Your face
And hide in Your embrace
All my life
Dwelling in Your Holy Place
My heart O Lord You've changed
I'll never be the same

God will make everything beautiful in its time.(Ecclesiastes 3:11)

A Progidal Son

Memory Verse Reminder

Rev 3:20
Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my Voice and opens the door; I will come into him, and dine with him and he with Me

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

CELL PRAYER REQUESTS FOR 2007

Hi people,

here are the prayer requests of the various people that shared at cell yesterday (6/1/2007). For Hwee Cheng and Eugene, please blog your prayer requests, so that we can keep each other in prayer during this year. Lets really committ ourselves to prayer this year, and believe that God is going to move in a big way in our lives and the lives of our family, loved ones, and family in this year.

Well here goes:

Ruijie:

1. To learn to commit studies to God and learn to trust in Him (to work hard, but not to allow work to take the rightful place of God). Honour God 1st.
2. Trust in God in all things (Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you)

Ideas for Cell: For the cell to have Scripture Memory Verse every week.

Ling Ling:

1. To pray for salvation for family in 2007.
2. To spend more time in devotion and prayer with God.

Ideas for Cell: Time to do more witnessing for friends. To be used as an instrument by God to evangelise.

Sarah:

To pray that she would stop procrastinating and to act on what God has impressed on her life.

Amy:

1. Spend more time in devotion with God (then would naturally move towards sharing more with parents and friends stc when the relationship with God is right).
2. To set her priorities right in the year 2007.
3. That she'll be able to serve in Tanglin Halt. Please pray that she'll be able to leave early on Wednesday to reach Tanglin Halt on time.

Alvin:

1. To be able to finish reading the Biblein a year based on the timetable given by Canon.
2. Let go and Let God take control
3. Pray for God's calling in his life
4. Pray for him serving in the adult's ministry.

Jonathan:

1. Continue to pray for the salvation of parents (Pray that dad will be able to go for Canon's cell every fortnight and that mum will be able to come down for church every month)
2. To be the best that he can be at work for the Lord
3. To be "counter-culture" and not follow the world. To be an overcomer, rather than to be dictated by the ways of the world. To al seek God for God's calling in his life.
4. Opportunity to be a sower or a reaper in family and friend's life.
5. God will fill his heart first and foremost. No thing or person will take the number one place in his heart.
6. Go deeper in the bible in 2007, and that he would have more opportunities to do bible teaching.

Edmund:

1. To be more focused on prayer-evangelism. To be more consistent in prayer for family and friends.
2. To read the Bible in the whole year. To read a minimum of 4 pages per day, and to memorize a minimum of 2 verses per week.
3. To work hard at his job, but not to get too engrossed or addicted in the stock market.

Well, that's about it. Please remember to pray and reflect about more specific goals that you want God to work in for tyhis year, and we will come back to share again on 3 Feb 2007. In the meantime, let's continue pressing on towards being more Christlike, and to share his Good News with the world in whatever ways we can.

Shalom,
JONATHAN YOONG

You must be joking! michael green

read a book on the above title, where the author examines 10 popular excuses for avoiding Jesus Christ. these are the 10:

1. 'I'm not the religious sort'
2. You can't believe in GOd these days'
3. 'All religions lead to God'
4. Jesus was just a good man'
5. 'It dosen't matter what you beleive as long as you are sincere'
6. 'I do my best. No one can do more'
7. 'Nothing can alter the past'
9. 'When you're dead, you're dead!'
10. 'You can't change human nature'

Maybe we, as a cell, can examine each of these popular excuses.

A God Centered Life - Nothing but God

Hi people,

Really see that the blog hasn't been used in a looooooooooong time. Really hope to see more interesting posts other than our BBQ order form.

WELL, here's my overdue blog item. Hope it makes sense:

Read something in Tozer’s “The Knowledge of God” that really intrigued me – it said “What comes to our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

It really says a lot about our focus on God. It really speaks volumes that when we think about God, what do we really see God as? And in turn, what does that say about our lives as His disciples? Are there areas and viewpoints in our lives that need to be corrected? Or is our viewpoint about God spot on?

According to Tozer, the real remedy to the malady of the spiritual lethargy of our lives is to really return to God Himself. In his book “The Pursuit of God”, he notes that “The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and centre of their hearts”. Tozer argues that superficial remedies for our lack of spiritual life are useless; what we need is to return to God, and to learn to reverence, honour and love Him alone.

Food for Thought

hey all, this is wat I intend to order for this sat's bbq at jon's place. I have estimated about 10-12 pple coming for the bbq. I try to make it affordable for everybody and cap a maximun price of $100 on the food and accessories.So u can roughly guess how much it will cost per person. Any suggestions and comments? Enough food? Want more?

Pls let me know by wed night cause i need to make the order by thurs. If u all wish to check out the menu, visit www.ezb.com.sg go look under the menu section. thks.

BLemished Sacrifices

Hi all, this is my long overdue entry man. Been so busy the last few weeks that I have not had the time to blog anything. Anyway, here's something that I have really been reflecting on for the last few weeks, ever since I've read this verse.

Malachi 1

Here's what erally caused me to stop and think very hard about my own life:

"A son hounours his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honour due me? IF I am a master, where is the respect due me" says the Lord Almighty. "It is you, O priests, who show contempt for my name.
"But you ask, 'How have we shown contempt for your name?' 'You placed defiled food on my altar.'
"But you ask, 'How have we defiled you?'
"By saying that the Lord's table is contemptible. When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you? says the Lord Almighty.

What really cuts me first and foremost is the reminder that in the New COvenant, I am a priest, and this is definitely being directed at all followers of Christ. It goes on to question where is the respect and the honour that is accorded to the Lord, and goes on to describe how we have dishonoured Him - by offering him sacrifices (in our context, it would be the way we live or worship)that are blemished.

It serves as a constant reminder that in my life, there have been times when I have offered up blemished sacrifices to the Lord, and have been guilty of not giving of my best to the Lord. I think sometimes as Christians, we have got it the other way round - we offer sacrifices to the Lord, because of our immense gratitude to the Lord for his Salvation. But at times, we treat it as if God should be lucky and thankful that we even bring the sacrifices at all. And this really brings to mind the question - Who is the Creator, and who is the created? I think that we need to get one thing clear. God does not need our sacrifices (if we are going to give him our leftovers), but it is done to remind us of the greatness of the mercy of God, and to remind us of the gift that He has given that we are so unworthy of.

THe verse really ends off with a question if we would even bring these blemished offerings before our governors. Imagine giving the PM or even your bosses crappy gifts or sacrifices? What more the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

It has really made me think about my own life of worship to the Lord, in my daily living of my life before God and before man. It really also makes me think about my own priorities in my life.

THe question really remains - Are we giving the Lord of our best? Or are we really just giving Him the leftovers of our lives?

Cheers,
JONATHAN YOONG

HEY GUYS!

HEY GALS!

HEY EVERYONE!

okok.. it's gonna be a ditsy blog entry! or so i hope... i'm real bad at the ditsy thing..DUH.

Anyway, I got home from dinner, and guess what i found on my table.... A BOX! on my birthday, YIPEE... Whoa, was i excited man! i mean right, i love opening boxes, parcels watever!...

And so i open it, and guess what??? YOU ALL WUN BELIEVE IT! .. er, ok, actually, yah, since you all bought the stuff, you all will believe what presents came through the mail! hmm, but then again... the box contained other stuff that other people prepared too(but as since this is a cell blog, shouldnt go on and on about wat others sent ?)...

So anyway, i think for this ditsy thing to work, i've got to refer to you all in the third part yah...

So, I just can't believe it! My cell group bought me 2 games! Not just 1.. but 2 games that i really really wanted.. Of course, it's no so much the games (obviously they make me really happy), but the fact that they thought about me during my birthday! Awww... I am so touched by their gesture... that i couldn't stop smiling for so long.. I'm still smiling right now... HEE!!!

Yeah.. ok.. i really suck at this ditsy thing.. i'll change back to refering to you all as you all.

I'm really very touched by what you all have prepared! THanks so soo much! It's really been a very very good birthday for me... seriously, from the botttom of my heart... You guys made it perfect!

Yes, i acknowledge that alot of money went into it... And i want to thank you once again.

Ok, I'll treat you guys when i come back! I am stating it here, so that I won't forget what i said!

Ha, yes, it's a short blog... coz i'm too excited.. due to the games! heee

Oh, I won't be revealing who I am.. coz it's kinda embarassing.. you know.. the ditsy thing... erm ya... dun tell anyone who it is.. and even then, I dun think i did the ditsy thing well right?

Ramblings of a Lunatic

Hi people,

So here is my promise of my weekly ramblings,

Been meditating on Psalm 15, and it really scares me when the Psalm mentions "Who may dwell in your sanctuary?" and "Who may live on your holy hill?" As I was reading the requirements of one who may enter into the presence of the Lord, it suddenly sent shivers down my spine, as I began to realise that I could fulfill none of the following mentioned in the Psalm.

Then, I realised that it is not by my strength that I am able to reach that level, but really by His strength. In that endeavour, I would have to seek Him day and night, so that His ways and His Will will be able to help me follow along the ways as encapsulated in Psalm 15.

Really just want to encourage everyone to read Psalm 15, so that we will all have an idea of what is expected of us, and we will know what we can ask God for in helping us reach that level.

Greetings to all from the capital of Bavaria... and more importantly, tthe beer capital off the world!

Whoo hoo... This is an ir-regular update of my life here in Munich.

The post has been inspired by the insane temperatures here. Today's temperature was around 34 degrees. Heard it was 39 in some other part of Germany! And for all u going 'chey.. singapore hotter what' , no no no, thats not even half the story... The thing is, they dun have air conditioning! Ok, they think that air - conditioning is really really bad for the health. So, in the building I am in, I heard there are only 2 offices with air-conditiong, those belonging to top management. Conclusion: Germany is a truely welfare state. See, if you are not rich enough to fall sick, they make sure you don't! And thus, only top management who are real rich, can afford to fall sick. Hence they get airconditioning... But wait, that's not all! There is no fan at all! Why? Because my company is so poor they dun buy fans for the staff! So wee the staff, get to soak in sweat while we work... Ok, but come to think of it.. that's what blue collared - workers do.. so i think i should change topic...

So the next topic is ICE! yeah yeah.. not ICE as in those fast trains.. but ice as in the solid state of H2O. They dun sell ice here! nott anywhere~! why? because that's unhealthy for you too! When u buy drinks in cups, or in glasses, you just dun see ice in them! It just can't be found here.... OK.. next topic

Next topic! Learn a new word everyday! 'Hitze-frei' Being in a foreign land, learning the language is of utmost importance. Esp words like this! It means... ok, i dun really know the exact translation.. my guess would be heat free! heh.. duh.. no brainer. So anyway, it means when it gets too hot, school children can go home early! So, I used it today! I told a colleague, 'HITZE-FREI!' , coz he asked me to do work. And he was like, Ok, Hitze frei, go home! Whee.. Hmm, but it wasnt all that ridiculously early either. It was 5pm.. but then.. that's really early right?

And for all those who think that Germans are lazy people who work short hours.... You are wrong! hahha My colleague, had so much work to do, he couldnt watch Germany play world Cup live! and the match was at 6pm.. he had to work till 8pm or so! Not that he was forced to , but he just wanted to do things properly and not come up with sth crappy. Ok ok, butt they are still a welfare state. It is illegal to work beyond a certain amount of hours a month.. ok..

watever,,, my brains have been fried, due to the immense heat. You must understand that for people that get winter for 4 months, and 20 degrees kinda temp for another 5-6 months... 34 degrees is simply mad! But of course, the humidity is nowhere like Singapore .. Whooo HOoo.. BEER!

Hi All...

After almost 2 mths, its finally ready... Anita Benson's sermon on.. "The Search for Contentment". Really applicable for our cell at this point. Er... have a confession to make though... when I was typing my sermon notes.. there were a few points that I didn't really understand.. so... don't just read the otes posted.. refer to the verses. It will make more sense =) Enjoy!

Sarah

THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT
Phil 4:10-14
Anita Benson

1) Contentment is learnt
2) Contentment is constant
3) Contentment is elusive

Contentment comes not from getting what you want, but knowing what you already have.

What is NOT contentment?

- Discontentment:
- Can lead to negative attitudes that can lead to negative actions (e.g. Stealing out of greed)
- Discontentment is draining while contentment is restful.

- Complacency

- Laziness

2 sides to contentment (Phil 4:13)

1) God
Gal 4:4 - adoption into God’s family. God does this for us. Are we grateful?
Heb 13: 5 - what God has done

2) Us
- Admit that we are discontented
- Decide that we want to be content and change our attitude

How to learn to be content?

PRACTICE – doesn’t come overnight.

1) Watch your thoughts
- STOP your grumblings. Be filled with gratitude
- Hold on to the truth

2) Watch your comparisons
- Not even downwards (e.g. I’m better off than the next person)

3) Watch the company you keep.

4) Watch for God’s presence wherever u are.

Hi all..

my prayer request

TOPS on the list
1. The motivation for living this life (Hopefully as I prepare for the harvest event I myself will find it before I help others to find it). I need purpose. I need direction. Because feels as though i'm floating thru life i.e. day in/day out/whatever will be, will be etc.

Ok the rest are secondary:
2. that i'll desire more of His word (nowadays i tend to fall asleep while reading the bible on the mrt)
3. confidence & security in the lord & that the rest of my family & a friend called suzanne will know God soon!!

Hey all we have abt 15 days left before JUNE is officially over... thanks for praying.
:)

The Lord is Our Banner

Yo how's everybody?? No entries recently so I decided to post one. Thks to everyone who prayed for my exams cos i managed to clear all my modules. And most importantly, I thank God for the ok results despite falling sick halfway thru the papers.

Nothing much going on in my life right now, just working on and off at tuas and jurong area.

I do have another prayer request though. My grandfather is falling sick recently and his body is rather weak. My prayer for him is that he will get well soon and he and his whole family will accept Christ.
I have been praying all these yrs but still no result. I know pple will tell me to have faith and keep praying, so I'm doing just that and hoping that something will happen.

Anymore prayer requests? Pls post them here so everyone can have more things to pray for.

REIHNHARD BONNKE RALLY

Hey people, the evangelist Reinhard Bonnke will becoming to town for a conference on 30 June and 1st July. He'll be having a conference in the day that will cost $45. But the night sessions are evangelistic and miracle sessions. We can consider bringing our friends down for this. But be warned, I would expect that it'll be super packed, mayb e on the scale of the past Festival of Praises. Oh yah, it'll be at the Indorr Stadium.

Hello everybody! I have decided to blog! Oh wow.. so exciting... heh heh ... My first time..

So anyway, let me just update you all on my boring life! I spend my weekdays designing handphone filters. Put it very simply, handphone filters just get rid of unwanted signal outside its passband. (haha , okok, i can't be bothered to think of another way to put it more simply, so never mind if u dun understand.)

Yeah, so that's all i do nowadays, work on weekdays, and weekends? hmm, that's a good question man. It used to be good when it was winter, where i'll head to the mountains everyweekend to get some snowboarding done. But now, oh well, I just swim, cycle, run, read, watch stuff and play games. Oh well, but Munich is a really nice city, where if you cycle far enuff, the sights become real pretty, so it's all good. But, the swimming pool entrance is just mad! The pool nearest my placce costs 4 euros ! and if i wanna save, the cheapest ones are 3.30 euros! just for one swim! The conversion is roughly 1euro = S$2.

Yeah, enough of complaining, overall, I love it here! haha, definitely more than Singapore.. But, the racism here is outta hand man!

The worse group of people are dogs !(in fact the only people that seem racist here) They seem to love barking at me. I mean rite, they dun seem to bark at anyone else except me, and i dun disturb them or anything! And so one day, as i was jogging with a friend, i told him bout the dogs being racist and all, he agreed too! The dogs only bark at him! and not anyone else. It's terrible man! How do they train dogs to be racist?!?!?! So anyway, dogs are everywhere here! They are on the subway, they are in the restaurants, they are in the shopping centres! Basically they are allowed almost everywhere. On a really crowded train, you might be squeezing for space with a real big dog. It happened once to me, I was slowy butt surely pushing one leg further and further into the dogs tummy.. coz i was literally falling already.. heh, poor dog. Good thing that one was cool about itt, and he wasnt racist... so that was good, coz everytimei moved my leg more into his tummy, i was afraid he would bite me! so scary. Oh well, the issue of dogs being everywhere, it's cool, except for the fact they bark at me!

Ok, so that's a photo of a dog on a train! cool eh... good thing there arent .. er hmm.. many ... erm, people of other faiths here, if not, then the presence of dogs everywhere would be ... not good... OR MAYBE, they allow dogs everywhere so that those people would think twice about settling down here! maybe that's why this place is soo safe! heh

6May06 at Island Creamery (Serene centre)

Hwee Cheng & Edmund B'day!

3) another best friend (jeszlene)'s father too...got a relapse of the cancer cells...heard tt he is undergoing chemotherapy...pray tt the lord will help him and his family.

so pray for me ok...be motivated by love and not by the treats that i promise ok..hehee..
Many many thanks :)

URGENT!!!

///***URGENT PLS READ***///

Hello everybody, a good day to all cell grp members in Singapore and for Joshua who is in Germany...
I know we havent done this in a long time cause most of us started working. But if anyone of u out there who is looking for prayer pointers or maybe you are at bored at work now, pls help me by praying for my exams.
The exam season kicks off from 17/04/06 to 03/05/06. The big matches:

Effective Comunication
Maths 2
Computing
Physics 2
Chemistry // * Important!!! The-big-match *//
Marketing

Even though exams are not a big thing, however it can be quite draining mentally and physically for me. Chemistry is a killer subject for me because i have no backgrd and i do not wish to take it again next semester.
My prayer is that during this stressful period, i will be able to continually thank & praise God and also know that it is him who gives me strength to study.
"But seek his kingdom first, and these things will be given to you as well" Luke 12:31 NIV.

For those who have work related issues or exams which you want me to pray for in return, you can put your prayer requests here.(try not to ask for more money to buy ipod nano or strike 4D, progress package top-up, etc... just kidding....) All prayer requests are welcome.
good day and especially for those stuck in the office or at work, take care...

Online Devotions

Hi everybody.. just wanna share this website www.backtothebible.org/devotions Has a lot of material, take your pick.
my personal favs are 'streams in the desert' and 'psalms'

Anyway today during 9am morning teaching, ms anita benson was expounding on the commandment "Do not murder". if anyone wants the material can zap from me haha too lazy to type here.. quite interesting and relevant, abt mental and emotional 'murders', and ways that we express (or suppress) our anger, and the consequences. Also touched on suicide and abortion.
Next wk's topic is "Honour your father and your mother". Ok that's all folks. see u all next sunday, have a devotional-filled week! Hah.

hc
