Love Your Neighbour

Gal 5:13-18

13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

Life for me has been really busy of late, ministry-work wise in particular. I've had meetings to attend, emails to write, and I had to spend quite a bit of time preparing to lead a bible study on handling family relationships at zone level, which I did so yesterday. Maybe its somewhat good that I'm not in a relationship at the moment, because it has really allowed me to focus my after-work time and energy on 'the Lord's work'. A helper will be needed (in the form of 'Eve', haha) in time, but I honestly don't know when and possibly where it'll happen. What I do know is that it'll be life-long hopefully, and not just for a few months or 1-2 years. (",)

Some of the key verses that I shared for handling problems with parents and/or siblings was what I have included above. We need to keep reminding ourselves to love them as much as we love ourselves, and to pray and ask the Holy Spirit for help whenever problems arise.

Please continue to keep praying for our kidnapped brothers and sisters in Christ until this matter has been resolved.

Eun Hae Rohdah (Amazing Grace)

I've added another video clip below my previous post. It shows us singing the Eun Hae Rohdah song during the CM2007 worship session.

I guess that many of you would already have heard the news of our South Korean brothers and sisters in Christ being taken hostage.

Please pray for them, and fast too. Pray for God's purpose for them to prevail.

We do not yet know whether they will be matyrs for the faith, or if God would show a mighty act of deliverance through this. It is possible that God has allowed the time extensions for us to learn how to pray more, particularly for others. A good prayer guide would be Psalm 140.

Follow the news, and keep praying!

~ Happy Days ~

Its been a happy week for me! (",) Although I finally returned to real work, and I was busy, various things in life have been going well I think, and I give praise (to God)!

I finally got to meet 3 of my dear ex-DG guys for dinner last night, and it was a really good time of sharing and laughter. It was wonderful to hear about their experiences during 'rural missions' in Korea. I was also encouraged to hear about how God used them to bring the Good News through translators in this foreign land. God had impressed on my heart an important message for them towards the end of CM2007, and I was really glad to share it with them before FOC camp starts next week. I was very amused when I found out from the guys that our brothers and sisters in Christ in KCCC are not supposed to date until their final year in university. I guess many of them would find their life partners in that final year after all the years of waiting, which would likely also have helped them to make a wiser choice.

I found out earlier that I've been given the responsibility of organizing youth camp for my church this year. Pls say a prayer for me as I have to try and confirm my leave when I'm back in office next week. It'll be exciting but there's much work to be done too.

To end off today's post, here's a nice video for you to watch! (",) Some of the Singaporean Crusaders sang a very nice and famous Korean Chrisitan song with their Korean friends:

CM 2007 was... The Best Ever!

***

On a scale from 0-100, I give it 1000!!! (^.^)

Yup, that was how tremendously blessed I was at the conference. I have attended many Christian events in my life - Festival of Praise, Benny Hinn Crusade, Fire Conference, Metamorphosis Conference, Planetshakers Concert, church camps and so on - but this was absolutely the best ever experience I've had! Throughout the conference, I got to praise and worship God with peoples from many tongues and tribes, and it was truly like 'Heaven on Earth'! (",)

For a much better idea of what happened, I really encourage you to take a look at the videos on the http://www.cm2007.net/ website, especially those of the Official Opening Night (2 July) and Closing Night (5 July).

I went with 2 primary goals in mind, to learn from our Korean brothers and sisters in Christ how they live their lives (whom I have heard so many good reports about), and to learn how such a super-scale event (17000-20000 people) is organised (maybe I'll help to organise one for the Lord next time). Both goals were met, and I was blessed in many more ways. (",)

I was particularly inspired by how the Koreans pray. They pray with much passion, and spend much time praying too. I was also encouraged by their faith, how they raised so much money (USD 4 million I hear) to host us, and how they brought unsaved friends, many of whom invited Jesus into their hearts on the final night. Last but not least, their unity impressed me. Coming from so many different parts of Korea (and USA too - LA, NY, Chicago), and different churches, they came together to organize this conference. You could see the unity in the small group gatherings everywhere too.

Some of you might wonder why I still remain so active with CCC. The reason is simple. I really hope that everyone will be saved and go to heaven, and I believe strongly in the vision: "Win the Campus today, Win the World tomorrow". No church alone can accomplish it, but church-supported movements everywhere will be able to.

CCC is a movement. And I want to always be a part of the journey to movements everywhere! (",)

To all my new Korean friends, THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Kam-Sa-Ham-Ni-Da!)

Photos will be posted up soon.
