His ^Providence^

God is good.

God is so good, uniting this group of bros and sis' in Christ together, under one student wing. FINALLY, after so long, God has provided yet another group of youth for myself to be involved in, and haf dat kind of fellowship [whether it be online of offline] dat I've been lacking for so long... Walter shld understand wat I mean. And unless you haf the free time, dun try finding out, cuz it's a LONG story.

May God richly bless us all as we continue to perservere. I see dat some of you haf struggles in your life, but God is gng to pull you through, as He nvr fails. Amen?
OK, easier said then done. Pls keep me in prayer becuz recently I've been comtemplating thoughts of switching specialisation, from IMM to Digital Animation [which is why I've been fasting for the past few days to really ask God for some direction]. Was super-demoralised juz now after my Auth tutor went thru some scripts... and I was like 'duuuhhhhhh...' 1/2 the time. Hopefully he pushes back the datelines. Thank you.
Thank YOU, pple, for being so accepting of the sermon I put up. This is wat the Bible wld term as the 'meat'; very difficult to digest, solid, hard preaching. I'm surprised ya'll took it in the right spirit. Praise and thank God for your strong faith. I used to post sermons up on my own blog, and my own church pple juz cldnt be bothered to read them... 'cuz they're too long-winded'. In fact some rebuked me for being too extreme...

OK, maybe I treasure such sermons becuz it really humbles me and provokes me to self-reflection of my own Christian walk, one which was nvr easy to begin w/.

Being raised-up in a Christian family caused me to see Christ in one perspective only, and dat is One who will forgive me of my sin. Period. I was nvr taught holiness nor righteousness, even during my Sunday sch days. My parents wld discipline me when I was rebellious, but they hardly ever told me why I shouldn't lie, cheat, or steal as a Christian. So you cld say, until 2 yrs back, I was juz lukewarm in my faith. Until God placed me in ministry, and dats when the growth began.
God opened doors for me to head to Korea [whr the world's largest church is], and was given the task to do a church blog for the trip thru correspondance. It is he only revival trip I will hold dear for a v. long time, becuz it was after the trip dat God convicted me to start gettin' my life straight. I listened to yet another sermon by Pastor Dave entitled 'The Great And Final Seperation' [a sermon Walter and I know by hard alrdy LOL] after returning home, and dats whr I really got down to serious business w/ Christ.

So wonderful to share this journey w/ fellow believers. We most certainly are the next generation of believers who are gng to rise up, and take the world for Christ! Yes, thr are times we may be labelled inexperienced. At least we've got the energy, and radcial for Christ's sake. Take for e.g.:

Exodus 25:1-13:
Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before the LORD, out in the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.”
So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Every one of you kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor.”
And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. Now when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand; and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel. And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My zeal. Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace; and it shall be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’”

God did not rebuke Phinehas for skewering the adulterers, but rather blessed him exceedingly for taking action in a radical act of faith!
Let us not hold back our zealousness for Christ. This may be a blog to edify one another, but let it oso be a tool; to spread the love of Christ thru our testimonies; and to wake the sleeping Christians up [w/ mercy and love, k].

If thr's one verse I could sum up this blog w/, thus far, from wat I see, it wld be this-
"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers." - [Ephesians 4:29]

Btw, do you think we can do some form of podcasting in the near future. Not now becuz it's a busy time for many of us [but by the grace of God I'm churning all of this out]. Think it's feasible?

Peace Out & GB!

Amen. I'm struggling with a few issues liek mad now, and i really hope i'll pull through (without landing in hospital)

I don't mind, as long as there is a button somewhere for me to press stop. =P

because i like listening to music on my winamp, and if a website plays another song, it'll be 2 different songs playing at the same time and it annoys me. =x
