Eternal Glory In Heaven

from our very own treasurer 2009, Nushka Lim!

I was born in an ordinary family with no religion backgrounds. I'm not one of the many other families who uphold any form of prayers. Being told by my aunt that my mom actually knelt and prayed to the Buddhist gods, and that i was born because of that, I ought to pray to them as well.

Well, what do I know?

Naively I thought to myself, I go the temple I must be Buddhist! But I listen to Christian song, so I am a Christian ... as well?

Until at the age of 11, my cousin invited me for a church camp. CAMP, must be fun right? Who would've thought it was really biblical and putting the fear of God in me? It was a night where the speaker shared some of the important verses in the bible. Like being saved, be in enternal glory and lake of fire. Surprisingly that night, I was incredibly awake listening to every word! The lake of fire caught my attention and then it led to salvation.

Then I ponder upon the verses in the bible ; revelation, immediately that night to read the whole chapter. I couldn't sleep right, too many doubts running through.

The next morning we had a brief discussion about last night's service in my group. I listened to what everyone has to say, about the only way out, the only way to not be damned in the lake of fire, is to believe with all your heart and trust in the Lord Jesus.

Something struck me, that I had to pray and repent. I waited until that very night, the only think in my head was

'I got to do it, I got to pray, I have to!'

The night came, I waited for people in my dorm to be asleep. And when I'm pretty sure they're because I heard snores (lol) I got up and prayed for salvation. It was something that I needed most, and it was undoubtedly the best decision ever made ; I'm one of the children of God. I was utterly relieved, and could sleep very, very soundly that night.

That very night was dated 10th October 2003. Until today, I could never quite fathom how great is God.

Wo can ever lay His precious life and wash our sins with blood?
I've never heard of any other gods who had done it

Who can ever make a deal with the devil but God Himself?

And all we have to do was just give Him our heart where trust come from.
A good bargain, I suppose?

My testimony isn't something like a life changing experience or anything cool. To me, it was a small yet precious thing that happened.

To sit and ponder upn His mighty works amazes me in every way.
Our God is BIG!
Our God is GOOD!

Tell me everyone (at least, the CF members) what are you gonna do besides EAT during recess tomorrow?

Yeppp, we're gonna start our very first recess revolution tomorrow!! I know you guys can't wait and are totally excited. Well because, I am. =) So please please please, remember to bring your BIBLE and wear your badges. Whoever who's reading this now, GO TAKE YOUR BIBLE AND PUT IT IN YOUR BAG, NOWWW.

No, you're not gonna just let your Bible sleep in your bag, you're gonna bring it around with you during recess. Why? To show that you're a Christian and you're proud of it. Answer questions asked by non-believers and who knows? maybe you're saving someone!

Pray pray pray to God that He will bless this recess revo and everything will go smoothly, alright?

Faith

RECESS TIME! Did you pack an apple to school today? Or maybe a tuna sandwich? You may not be crazy and bonkers about what is inside your tupperware for recess, but still you know you've got to eat to give your body energy.

Well, our faith needs to get energy too! Not through food but by going to church, praying and reading the Bible. We "feed" our faith when we do these things. It will grow stronger and stronger.

Next time you look in the mirror, check out what's changing about you. Now...what about your faith?

¹ Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

² But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

³ He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.

Psalms 1:1-3

P.S. For those of you who weren't there, this morning prayer coordinator (Tong Shin) shared about faith during prayer meeting. :D Awesome job!

lihtyng. (:

What is Love?

The word 'love' in language has a wide diversity of application and meaning. God's love for us is sacrificial and it's definitely not the same as love as in romance kind. So how do we differentiate love?

I went for a camp last year, and i learned that, there are actually different words for different kinds of love. Since our blog is gonna be dead -if i don't update or do something-, i decided to blog about love. =) Basically (as i know) there are four kinds of love. Storge, Phileo, Charity/Agape and Eros.

Agape
Agape is a Greek word, actually. In new testament, Agape is often translated as ''love''. How is it different from other types of love? No, it's not referring to love as in sexual or romantic love. Nor it is brotherly or family love. It's self-sacrificing love. So, now you know where to use this word Agape? Yes, it's God's love. God agape us.

Phileo
Now now, how does phileo works? It’s a Greek word used to describe friendship that’s developed between two or more people - the bond can be very strong and it’s easily mistaken for agape love. At its best, it will produce a bond between people that’s not easily broken, the best example of which in Scripture is probably the friendship that existed between David and Jonathan (I Sam 18:1ff).

Storge
Sorry, i don't know what language is this. HAHA. It refers to natural love that we show. As in towards family. Do you ask yourself, why do you love your parents? Your brothers, or your sisters? Even if you do, do you get a reason?
Like, ''Why must I love my parents?'' ''Oh because they give me allowance and buy me nice clothes.''
No you don't have to ask questions like that, because it's naturally in us. You will not do anything to hurt them. It's more like a bond that no matter what external forces coming against us, we'll be there for each other and will never break us up. Storge love binds the family together and strengthens its ties.

Eros
And the last but not least, Eros. Okay, we've talked about God's sacrificial love, brotherly/friendship love and family love, what's left? Yes, sexual/romantic love. Don't get all excited kay. HAHA. When you find someone attractive and stuff like that, eros is what you're gonna feel. I guess Eros also makes you do anything for that another person you Eros. So now the problem is, does God send His only Son because he Eros us? The answer is, no. God doesn't send His Son because He thinks mankind are attractive and stuff. So, you Eros your future husband but you don't Eros God, you Agape God.

Just a short summary :
Agape : God's sacrificial love.
Phileo : Frienship/Brotherly love.
Storge : Family love
Eros : Sexual/ Romantic love.

Soooooooo, the conclusion is.
YOU, AGAPE GOD.
YOU PHILEO me, audrey. Just joking, you must phileo everyone. ( yes, including your enemy. That's what God wants us to do).
YOU STORGE YOUR FAMILY
YOU EROS , wait cannot, you're still very young kay. Not out of high school yet. At least12 years from now! YOU EROS YOUR HUSBAND.

p/s : First time doing this so please tell me if i've done any mistake about the information kay.

Opening Ceremony

How was first three weeks of school, bored? For me, yes, and thinking about attending koko on Saturday makes me feel more tired but not anymore. There is CF meeting to look forward to! Sorry about the no-update period. :) For those who missed the so called opening ceremony of CF, keep reading and I guarantee you all the details and pictures.

Okay so it started off with praise and worship, lead by Xin Ee and Ailin, Audrey on guitar. Songs sang was Making Melody, Free and Awesome God. Now tell me you guys had fun!

Teacher advisor, Pn.Sarah and Cik Anita.

After singing, we had our games session which is kind of testing your bible knowledge. Everyone was given a verse and book names to match it up by exchanging with each other like how we play heart attack.

Don't get it? Well it's okay,

because they didn't get it either! LOL.

Explaining again.

After having fun, we have Pn. Sarah sharing.

Oh and, we have Song books, Sweets, batches, testimonial books and bulletin too!

Thanks to:

Ai Lin for sweets

Xin Ee for song book. Full with mistakes but still, it was awesome! HAHA.

Lih Tyng for the nice batches.

Bulletins

And Ai Lin for rushing to get this testimonial book done!

The meeting went well and I bet everyone had fun, yes? Because i had fun too! And praise God, Pn.Sarah was happy with how everything turned out too. The song book, testimonies, and most of all, the attendance. So please show up for the next CF meeting, okay?

And I shall end here with the Lord's Prayer.

See you in the next meeting, God bless! =)
