no exchange!

We do, don't we (unless you are a caveman and you totally abstain from human contact)? We get pretty much occupied with the injustice that we've got and get really ducky (read last week's post to understand the meaning) without knowing the cause behind it. We expect a certain standard from people who are doing their jobs especially when we are paying and do their job scope with their best.

For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the man He has appointed.
Acts 17:31a

God expects us in the same way. Every situation that He puts us in is a test of our attitude and character to do our best for Him, for His creation (that includes ALL peoples!).

Yada yada yada. We know all that. But do we do something about it? Or simply brush it aside with a 'I don't care'? Nowadays we are so caught up with our individual matters that we turn a blind eye to God. We want parties, we wanna have fun, we want things to go as we wanted. Nope, I'm not trying to address our selfishness, but this prevalent sense of apathy that we have with things that we are least interested in and involved in. Have we spared a thought for our Creator?

Not long ago, the media was targetting at the issue of youths not knowing about their nation leaders and they realise it's not just a handful, but it was nearly 80%! Even in church, we segregate ourselves with regards to personal and spiritual lives. I'm sure God didn't intended christians to go to church with a mask. Don't you find it so hard to breathe with it?

Youth camp 2008 barely 2 weeks away! We thank God for that awesome time together last year and this year, we believe it will be a greater experience of fellowship, spiritual development and fun as we overcome our differences and fears! We believe for a time of spiritual breakthrough as God speaks through the Holy Spirit and His servant Rev Chris Long. We want a revival! Our camp tees will be given out this Saturday! Collection can only be done with payment. So please remember to bring yours!

Expect something this week! We know God is doing a mighty work here, and as we see how God can move through a different manner, come and join us for a time of intimate praise and worship to our God, our Emmanuel:)
Join us also, for a time of prayer for individual needs and ministry, The leaders have sense a spiritual dryness and stagnation as a whole and we need to come together to help one another to overcome. Because we want you guys to detonate for God, so take this chance to see your life transform. Don't hesitate. We urge you to come. You never know what God can do when His people come together with one voice to pray. Expect more. Want more. 4 pm. The whole of 2nd floor Sunday School.

Do keep our camp committee in prayers as they continue to labour till the camp is over. We know they have been going all out to let us enjoy to the maximum and planning through all the necessary details for us to have a relaxing and spiritually awakening time:)

With the recent news coverage, let's keep both Myanmar and China in prayers as they tide over this period of devastation. We know God has a special purpose and He is the overall control of the entire earth. We pray for peace and order to be restored back and for God to be their Providence for the needs of affected people to be met through His church. May the funds coming in from overseas not be used for selfish motives but God will have righteous men and women to take charge and use the money to help those in dearth.

We thank God for His presence and protection with Brother Zen throughout his operation. Brother Zen is now out of the hospital and resting at home. Do continue to keep him in prayers as he proceed on the recovery process. God indeed is faithful and will be with His people. May Brother Zen use this moment to glorify God and be His witness to many. We look forward to you joining us again bro!

It's a hair-tearing period for our poly students as they commit their time and efforts in revising for the common tests. Do uphold them in prayers amidst this busy period and we know God will honour all you guys who choose to honour God:) Yes, and a great break during the youth camp would be absolutely forward-looking so press on!
