Disappointed, that's what i felt over last weekend Sunday morning worship. The beauty of being a Brethren circle where we are given the privilege to share from the Word of God, prayers,songs, and even to share how God has been good to us, but..we fail tremendously!Theres no song, a word of encouragement from the brothers. Ended up the elder have to dutifully lead the congregation through the sharing of the word and song.. It came to my mind as though that Jesus is looking at what kind of worship are we bringing to Him? It grieved my heart and as i turn to my bible looking at Phillipians 2:5-11..Trying to grasp as much as i could to feel how God would feel for what He has done for us and what are we offering Him during that morning itself..I feel very disappointed wif myself for not bringing a sacrifice that fits His glory and majesty.
Ever felt for a Saviour who will come for a bunch of sinners like all of us???
Phillipians 2:5-11
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Food for thought, has all our sharing from the word,songs and prayers been a duty or a delight???
I guess we have to live by everyday thankfulness..

Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sins that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21
God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
Does that blows your mind? Isn’t Jesus is crazy and insane? That’s what He is for us.
Using the words of Louie the preacher..
Psalm 90:10,12
The length of our days is seventy years-eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
There is a difference between living and existing!!
I am torn!

ANYWAY
People are unreasonable, illogical, self centred.
Love them ANYWAY
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good ANYWAY.
If you are successful, you’ll win false friends and make true enemies.
Succeed ANYWAY.
Honesty and kindness may make you vulnerable.
Be honest and kind ANYWAY.
The good you do today may very well be forgotten tomorrow.
But do good ANYWAY.
The biggest people with the biggest idea can get shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.
But think big ANYWAY.
Give the world the best you got. You may very well get kicked in the teeth for it.
But give the world the best you hot… ANYWAY.
Abstracted from ‘Attitudes that attract success’.

Eventful sunday...
Has been a real good weekend on Sunday. Went to church as usual until 12+ after having our brunch and our friend came up with an idea to go to SS2 to have Durian Feast.. Went with a few of them and found out that there’s no “eat all you can” because the durians have not arrive yet. So ended up eating da expensive D24 durians which size is as big as a mok gua.. Doh.. was kinda disappointed in the end. Next, headed to Sunway for Passion conference together with some frens..different frens.. seated at the left hand side of the hall. When the 1st song was being introduced, I became hyper out of a sudden. Started jumping and “dancing” around and losing my identity as a Brethren..haha.. The thought came into my mind that I wouldn’t be able to go “crazy” else where if it’s not for a concert like this, so why not seize this opportunity? Heh. So, I make my way through to be at in front. Doing what I like best in worship, jumping, dancing and shouting my lungs out.. was superb.. like the songs which they played.. One of the songs which was being played is this and it really tested my faith in Him..
God of this city, Chris Tomlin
You’re the God of this city
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You are
You’re the light in this darkness
You’re the hope to the hopeless
You’re the peace to the restless
You are
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
For greater things
Have yet to come
And greater things
Are still to be done in this city
For greater things
Have yet to come
And greater things
Are still to be done here
The question that I’ve to ask myself is that whether do i really believe that God will do greater things in Malaysia? Will Malaysia be a Christian country? Will the Muslims turns to Jesus Christ as their God? Will there be more Christian politicians who would be brave enough to voice up their beliefs? Will we testify Jesus Christ wherever we are?
Lift up the scales of my eyes that I might see unseen things with YOUR EYES..
p/s: "Sorry for the superb smell"..=p

AFC 2008 experience
To sum it all, AFC was great! We have 49 campers this year, one of the most participants. The expedition to Gua Tempurung was one of the highlight of the camp. Divided into 2 level which we are given the choice to choose between going for the 1&2 level and 1-4level. While journeying my way there, I lost one pair of my sandal due to the strong flow of the river. Being the ‘proud’ person that I am I decided to go on with it although some of my friends decided to offer his shirt to wrap over my feet. Along the way, I could no longer bear with the pain of stepping on stones and rocks. The last resort was to accept the offer. Wrap over my feet with my friend shirt and mine. Feeling much better after that but there were still difficulties. Thank God, the tour guide found a pair of sandal along the way and it is the right side of the sandal. Jehovah Jireh!
In this small way, I see a glimpse of how God revealed Himself to us. Managed to complete the whole expedition after 4 hours of walking and crawling. Was a really good experienced.
Besides that, was good to get to know people from different Brethren assemblies. One of the beauty of being the denomination that I am in.Has been a good time spend during the 4days and 3 nights in camp. A time off work and socialize with people. Feels so much refresh and ‘alive’ now.
Basically that’s it for Assembly Fellowship Camp 2008.
Oh yea, this is not a match making camp.. Not the desperado’s meeting up with the desperadee’s..The purpose was to socialise, fellowship, and to realign our purpose as a Christian.
