God's family
Hi..I'm back..:) one more paper down, yeah! :) two major papers due on fri though. So much has happened recently..as i sang the song 'One Voice' in church yesterday, i was affected quite a bit. guess it reminds me once again that as a body of christ, we are to be united. but do we know what we are united in? the saddest thing is when we even fight against ourselves. don't you think so?
visited arpc mandarin ministry yesterday, and mum came along for the first time. once again, we sang a song about being part of God's family. the lyrics came even stronger this time round, encouraging us to shoulder one another's burdens in times of trials and tribulations. how apt it is in these difficult times of standing firm for the gospel. thank God for the encouragement through the songs...the message was good too! the topic was “今日还有神迹吗？”. boon yong did a good job of covering the old testament (exodus) and bringing us through the gospels, pointing to the fact that miracles were shown as a sign to salvation. that challenged my dad quite a bit, and i'm really glad he was there. having been to a few healing rallies, he was confused about miracles and what faith is all about. after the sermon, we had a good 20 mins of discussion, and quite a no. of doubts were cleared. i left the service very much encouraged, being reminded that the salvation i have in christ, and each day, being transformed into christ-likenss is already a miracle by itself. most of the time, when we talk about the topic of miracles, the first thing we think of is those healing rallies and start criticizing them. thank God for this fresh perspective on miracles. :)
