My Best Ever Christmas's Gift 2009

2010-02-24T11:34:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody, it's Chris here, greeting from Moncton, New Brunwick. How are you all there? I miss you all so so much.

I would like to share with you about my story. I think everybody know that I am now study as a pilot under AirAsia sponsorship. The sponsorship I have apply for so many years and finally I got it and waiting to realise my dream, as a REAL pilot.

10th Nov 2009, I received an email to go for AirAsia Cadet Pilot selection process. I was surprised as I wasn't apply for it this year. I decided not to go for it as I failed two times before, one for AirAsia, one for MAS. But when I told my friends about this, they all ask me to go for it. Finally, I went for the selection process. I didn't prepared anything as it was during my exam week. I just study my subjects for my exam, then I go for the selection process, it was a writing test. After the test, I prayed to God, asked Him to let me pass the stage, even I didn't prepare for the test.

The God is amazing, He listened to my prayer and make me passed the test. Then I come to stage 2. The day I come to briefing for stage 2, I was shocked as I know the second stage will carry out by British people. I was so nervous but I prayed to GOD: if you want me to pass it, just let me to pass it. Once again, our almighty God make me strong and let me passed the 2nd stage. Now come to final interview, it was on 23rd Dec 2009. Everything went smoothly and they ask us to wait result at home, probably come out at 24th Dec 2009. That night, I was so nervous, once again, I prayed God to make me pass the interview. I can't sleep that night, keep on praying to God for let me pass it.

24th Dec 2010. I waited for the most important email that will change my life. My heart was thumping fast for whole day. From morning till noon, from noon till afternoon, from afternoon till evening, from evening till night, I had open my email for few thousands times, but I cant find any email from AirAsia.

I prayed again: God, I have never ask for any present from you at Christmas, this year, I hope you could let me pass the selection process to become the Cadet Pilot for AirAsia. Please give me, I want this so much. Please....

Christmas passed, saturday, and sunday. I almost hopeless. I back to UMP and prepared myself for the new semester. On monday, after class, I opened my email. I was shocked. It was my happiest moment in my life!!! It was the BIGGEST Christmas gift that I was ever received! I thank God for that and hurry called my parents for the news!!! I can be a PILOT!

" And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it. " JOHN 14:13-14

Brothers and sisters, be remember ask anything you want to our God, pray sincerely like what I do, He will have the best way for you and will give you whatever you want, as long as it fulfill the teachings of the bible. Go to church every week, as the God is love you so so much!!!

Short story -- Does GOD exist?

2009-08-11T21:22:00.000-07:00

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
'I don't believe that God exists.'

'Why do you say that?' asked the customer.

'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.'

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:

'You know what? Barbers do not exist.'

'How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber.
'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!'

'No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.'

'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.'

'Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.'

Isaiah 65:24 Before they call, I will answer.

2009-07-01T03:06:00.000-07:00

[ Isaiah 65:24 Before they call, I will answer. ]

This beautiful story was written by a doctor who worked in Central Africa.

** One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities..

Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates)..

'And it is our last hot water bottle!' she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.

'All right,' I said, 'put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm.'

The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.

During prayer time, one ten-year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. 'Please, God' she prayed, 'Send us a hot water bottle today. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon.'

While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, 'And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?'

As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say 'Amen'? I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything; the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever, received a parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator!

Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door.. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there on the porch was a large 22-pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children.. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly... Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box.

From the top, I lifted out brightly-colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a batch of buns for the weekend.

Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the..... could it really be?

I grasped it and pulled it out. Yes, a brand new, rubber hot water bottle. I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could.

Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, 'If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!

'Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully-dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted! Looking up at me, she asked, 'Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?'

'Of course,' I replied!

That parcel had been on the way for five whole months, packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator.. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it 'that afternoon'.

'Before they call, I will answer.' (Isaiah 65:24)

MYF Brothers' Nite (11 April 2009)

2009-05-04T00:23:00.000-07:00

This is beautiful! God will always be with you....

2009-04-08T08:55:00.000-07:00

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry.. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university..'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.

The drive home was difficult.. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.

She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said :

'Dear Mom,

I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You' . I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day.. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important.. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in th e same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

2009-03-03T22:48:00.001-08:00

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
It's a forward email about the author of "The Purpose Driven Life"-Rick Warren( my favorite author too :D)

Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life and pastor of Saddleback Church in California , gave the invocation at the Presidential inauguration last night. His insights about life are remarkable, especially now that his wife has cancer and he has garnered tremendous wealth from sales of his book.
When interviewed by Paul Bradshaw, these are the things Rick said:

People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.

I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.

The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort.

God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.

I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.

Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.

No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.

And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems.

If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is ¡°my problem, my issues, my pain.¡± But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her.

It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.

You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.

Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.

It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.

So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72

First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases.

Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.

Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.

Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?

Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.

That's why we're called human beings , not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.

Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.

Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD .

Painful moments, TRUST GOD .

Every moment, THANK GOD.

God's Blessings on you today and always . . . . . . . . .

DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?

2009-02-28T01:26:00.000-08:00

I SURE DIDNT TILL NOW

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!

Make a personal reflection about this.....

Very interesting, read until the end.....

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):

'Be not deceived; God is not mocked:

for whatsoever a man sow,

that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women

who mocked God :

John Lennon (Singer):

Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:

'Christianity will end, it will disappear.

I do not have to argue about

that. I am certain.

Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him' (1966).

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

Tancredo Neves(President of Brazil ):

During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.

Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):

During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),

while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:'God, that's for you.'

He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner

The man who built the Titanic

After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.

With an ironic tone he said:

'Not even God can sink it'

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)

She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.

He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.

After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:

'I don't need your Jesus'.

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment

Bon Scott (Singer)

The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:

'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.

On the 19th of February 1980 , Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas (IN 2005)

In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....

The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:

'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.'

She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full '

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,

the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.

The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.

Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

2009-02-28T01:10:00.000-08:00

"You are My Sunshine, My only Sunshine"

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling.

They found out that the new baby was going be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in mommy's tummy.

He was building a bond of love with his little sister before he even met her. The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown , Tennessee .

In time, the labor pains came. Soon it was every five minutes, every three, every minute. But serious complications arose during delivery and Karen found herself in hours of labor. Would a C-section be required?

Finally, after a long struggle, Michael's little sister was born. But she was in very serious condition. With a siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville , Tennessee.

The days inched by. The little girl got worse. The pediatrician had to tell the parents there is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst. Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery about a burial plot. They had fixed up a special room in their house for their new baby but now they found themselves having to plan for a funeral.

Michael, however, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. I want to sing to her, he kept saying. Week two in intensive care looked as if a funeral would come before the week was over. Michael kept nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care.

Karen decided to take Michael whether they liked it or not. If he didn't see his sister right then, he may never see her alive. She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU.

He looked like a walking laundry basket. The head nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed, 'Get that kid out of here now. No children are allowed.' The mother rose up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed right into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. 'He is not leaving until he sings to his sister' she stated.

Then Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. After a moment, he began to sing In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: 'You are my sunshine, my only sun shine, you make me happy when skies are gray.'

Instantly the baby girl seemed to respond. The pulse rate began to calm down and become steady. 'Keep on singing, Michael,' encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. 'You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.' As Michael sang to his sister, the baby's ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as a kitten's purr. 'Keep on singing, sweetheart.' 'The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms'. Michael's little sister began to relax as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her. 'Keep on singing, Michael.'

Tears had now conquered the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glowed. 'You are my sunshine , my only sunshine. Please don't take my sunshine away...' The next day...the very next day...the little girl was well enough to go home. Woman's Day Magazine called it The Miracle of a Brother's Song. The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God's love.

NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. LOVE IS SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.
Life is good. Have a Wonderful Day!

In God We Trust!

Cell Phone VS Bible

2008-11-28T09:05:00.000-08:00

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treatour cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

A touching story

2008-11-18T03:44:00.000-08:00

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back..

The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.

The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.'

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?''

The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''

Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.

'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.'

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.

But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now.

I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.'

His eyes were so sad while saying this.

'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''

My heart nearly stopped.

The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.'

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.'

'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.'

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''

'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it.

There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'

Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!''

'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much.

But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''

'My mommy loves white roses.'

A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started.

I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.

Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.

I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest..

I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever... The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine.

Evangelistic Day on 23rd August 2008

2008-07-25T00:10:00.000-07:00

Matthew 28:16-20 (New International Version)

The Great Commission

16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The Great Commission! That is the last words Jesus spoke on earth before he ascended back to Heaven. Alot of scholars mentioned that last words are always the most important words. It even sounded like a command to all his disciples.

As His disciples, all of us have the responsibility in spreading the Gospel. It doesn't matter whether it is overseas or local, evangelism is a major calling in Christian living. Testimonies of our lives are a crucial part in bringing someone to Christ.

Have you share with someone about Christ today? Or rather you have always wanted to do so but couldn't find the time and courage to do that? Maybe you thought sending fwd emails about Christ is enough on doing evangelism on your part.

August 23rd is a good opportunity for us to practise telling strangers about Christ. How Christ has transformed our lives, how He being our Saviour of eternal life in Heaven. We will be using the "5 Colours Beads" as a starting tool to explain about Salvation and a chance to share your testimony.

Afraid of being speechless in front of strangers? Fear not! We can do anything with God's strength! You are not alone in this Evangelism Activity. Besides, there will be a training on how to use the "5 Colour Beads" effectively on 4th August 2008 at 8pm in church. Anyone who wants to come pls inform me so that I can arrange for transportation.

Hope to hear about your participation in this Evangelism Activity. God loves you and me and He loves Pekan too! Immanuel! :)

GOD said No

2008-07-15T09:57:00.000-07:00

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

To the world you might be one person, But to one person you just might be the world.
May the Lord Bless you and keep you.
May the Lord Make his face shine upon you, And give you Peace......Forever
Amen.

A nice Testimony

Breakfast at McDonald's

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.

Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake,
literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looke d down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'.

His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.'

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal peop learned to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE
PEOPLE.

3 Questions..

2008-06-30T10:39:00.000-07:00

A young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time.
When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar
or any expert who could answer his 3 Questions.

Finally, his parents were able to find a scholar.
Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
Scholar: I am one of God willing, I will be able to answer your questions.

Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions.
Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of God .

Young Man: I have 3 questions:
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is fate?
3. If Devil was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Devil and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far?

Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard.

Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.
Young Man: I really don't understand.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.
Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?
Young Man: Yes.
Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!

Young Man: I cannot.
Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel God's existence without being able to see His shape... Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: That is fate my second answer........ My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?
Young Man: It is created from flesh.
Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?
Young Man: Flesh.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: In pain.
Scholar: That's it... this is my third answer, Even though Devil and also the hell were created from the fire, if God wants,God willing , the hell will become a very painful place for devil.

During that night meeting, pastor ben used a difference way to bring out the leadership training - PLAY GAME.

It seems like everyone has had a good time. And the conclusion of the game is, when something goes wrong, BLAME yourself first before pin point the persons beside you. Ha ha. Is my fault!

Pictures show we used the 'u' channel to pass the ping pong ball and tennis ball from one end to the other end.

Ten Guidelines From God

2008-04-24T23:17:00.000-07:00

1. Quit worrying: Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Alternatively, do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. Put it on the list: Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not your list. Put it on my to-do-list. Let me be the one to take care of the problem. I cannot help you until you turn it over to me. Moreover, although My to-do-list is long, I am after all... God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of many things for you that you never even realize.

3. Trust me: Once you have given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on my list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For my sake, put it on my list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. Leave it alone: Do not wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now; I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It is simple. You gave Me your burdens and I am taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with me and forget about them. Just let me do my job.

5. Talk to me:I want you to forget many things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I am in control. Nevertheless, there is one thing I pray you never forget. Please, do not forget to talk to me - OFTEN! I love you! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6. Have faith:I see many things from up here that you cannot see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I am doing. Trust me; you would not want the view from my eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust me. Although I have a much bigger task than you do, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?

7. Share:You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you are. Share your joy with Those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who have not heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

8. Be patient:I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list? Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, and rush.

9. Be kind:Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.

10. Love yourself:As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? I created you for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbours. Also, love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Do not ever forget...

WHEN GOD PUTS YOU ON HOLD

2008-04-07T01:13:00.000-07:00

Many thanks to Shiro's sharing last Saturday :) There are alot of truth in it about our comparison attitude. It is a good reminder that God made each one of us special in our own ways and there is no reason for us to compare with another. I got this article from a friend this morning. Enjoy reading and blessed week ahead! :D

If you're a seasoned air traveler, chances are you're familiar with the term "holding pattern."

That's when your plane is unable to land because of unfavorable ground conditions. Generally the pilot announces that he's been told to maintain a holding pattern pending an update from the control tower.
It happens regularly, so planes have to carry enough fuel to stay airborne till they can land safely.

The Bible says, "Wait for the Lord; be strong...let your heart take courage."

When God puts you in a holding pattern it's not just a question of having enough faith to receive His promise, it's also a matter of having enough "spiritual staying power" to stay airborne until it comes to pass. That's why you need to carry enough spiritual fuel to handle delays and wait for clearance.The Bible refers to the Holy Spirit, "a rushing mighty wind" (Acts 2:2). After God had delayed Noah long enough to accomplish His purpose, "He sent a wind" (Gen 8:1 NIV).

Anytime a wind comes from the presence of God it blows away all hindrances and obstacles, it dries the ground under your feet so you can move ahead. It demolishes the spirit of fear and heaviness that makes you want to quit.
David asked God, "What is man that you are mindful of him?" (Ps 8:4 NIV). Even in times of frustration and waiting, God is still thinking about you and working everything out for your good.

His delays aren't denials.

So, when you sense a divine breeze in your spirit, rejoice. It's a sign that He's clearing you to land and good things are about to happen!

比来比去？

2008-04-05T02:51:00.000-07:00

比上不足

有時我们生活在一个充满比较的世界，有时是自己要跟别人比，但是怎么比都比不上别人，越比就越气，觉得上帝厚此薄彼，待我真不公平。有时并不是自己要刻意去比，但是别人硬要跟我比，又或者父母师长拿我跟别人比，我实在是身不由己。

为何比较？

你喜欢跟别人比较吗？为什么？比较过后若发现自己比别人棒，你会有什么感想？你会自此充满信心还是充满骄傲？若发现自己不如人呢？你会自卑还是会妒忌？

其实只有对自己、对神没有足够认识的人，才会在乎跟别人比较，以测试自己的程度到哪里，借着看自己是否比别人棒来建立自己的信心。这样的信心，一不小心会演变成骄傲，但是这种所谓的信心，却肯定是脆弱的。因为当有个比自己棒的人出现时，他马上受打击，感到自卑，甚至在一夜之间酝酿成妒忌。

骄傲、自卑或妒忌，都是心灵的毒素，会侵蚀生命，叫人停滞不前，甚至因此无法释放自己，更无法经历真正的喜乐。

比下有余

当你比别人优胜时，你是否会因此得意忘形，甚至自高自大？比下有余，是否真的如此值得洋洋得意呢？其实，若你知道赐你恩赐和长处的是神，你就应当明白自己即使拥有再好的东西，也没什么值得自夸自耀。

神赐你长处优点，其实是盼望你善用祂给你的资源去祝福他人。你不妨学习：即使你很有本领，仍要以体谅和接纳的态度帮助软弱或有缺憾的人。

只和自己比

在上帝的眼中，每个人都是独特的。神给予每个人不同的天赋潜质，在群体中各事其职，相辅相成，因此我们根本不需与他人比较。
他人的长处，虽然可能是我们的短处，但我们也可能有某些长处，又是他人所没有的。

上帝给我们不同的才干，对我们也有特定的期望，我们应该朝个别的目标努力。如果要比较的话，最好和自己比：我是否有尽全力把神给我的天赋用以祝福他人？我是否有献上最好的？若都能做到，便算是无亏欠了。

How to Know God Personally?

2008-04-02T02:28:00.000-07:00

How to Know God Personally.....?
What does it take to begin a relationship with God? Devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that God will accept you?
You may be surprised that none of those things will work. But God has made it very clear in the Bible how we can know Him.
The following principles will explain how you can personally begin a relationship with God, right now...

Principle 1:
God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
God's Love"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." 1
God's Plan[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful]. 2
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because...

Principle 2:
All of us sin and our sin has separated us from God.
We Are Sinful"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 3
We were created to have fellowship with God; but, because of our stubborn self-will, we chose to go our own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
We Are Separated"The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God]. 4
This diagram illustrates that God is holy and people are sinful. A great gulf separates us. The arrows illustrate that we are continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through our own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion -- but we inevitably fail.
The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf...

Principle 3:
Jesus Christ is God's only provision for our sin. Through Him we can know and experience God's love and plan for our life.
He Died in Our Place"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 5
He Rose From the Dead"Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred..." 6
He Is the Only Way to God"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.'" 7
This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
It is not enough just to know these three principles...

Principle 4:
We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
We Must Receive Christ"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." 8
We Receive Christ Through Faith"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." 9
When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation[Christ speaking] "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him." 10
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for your sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. You receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.

怎么办？

2008-04-01T03:43:00.000-07:00

「耶和华赐人智能，知识和聪明都由他口而出。」（箴言2章6节）

友人翠丝塔正为该不该换车而苦恼：是继续修那辆老爷车？还是买辆新车？她想做个金钱的好管家，也希望做明智的决定。最重要的是，她希望能荣耀上帝。
金钱上的事很难决定。布道家葛理翰曾说过：「一个人对金钱的态度若能义无反顾，在人生其它方面也能畅行无阻。」

以下几点是对待金钱应有的智慧：
认真查验你是否遵从上帝的优先级。有没有奉献给上帝或帮助他人（哥林多前书16章2节）？有没有顾念家庭需要（提摩太前书5章8节）？有没有让金钱控制你（路加福音16章13节）？
分析主要的事。考虑各种选择以及它们的正反两面。

求上帝赐智慧。祷告、祷告、再祷告，他必引导你（箴言2章6节）。
相信上帝，再做决定。善用你的知识和智能，并将你的决定交在他的手中。
顺服上帝能让我们更深爱他、信靠他。而最重要的是，我们能把每个决定都看作是亲近他的机会。

有时进退维谷，左右都是为难；求主助你选择，他会指引方向。

喜乐泉源

2008-03-29T09:45:00.000-07:00

「似乎忧愁，却是常常快乐的；似乎贫穷，却是叫许多人富足的；似乎一无所有，却是样样都有的。」(哥林多后书6章10节)

17世纪德国有位牧师，名叫葛哈特。他比谁都更有理由不快乐。他的一生，爱妻身亡、四个子女丧命；经过三十年战争蹂躏的德国，处处满目疮痍；教会冲突、政治干预，让他一生都厄运连连。然而在这百般苦难之中，他却写出了130多首诗歌，而大部份的主题竟然是喜乐，以及对耶稣基督的热爱。其中一首「圣灵为我喜乐泉源」，诗中有段歌词是这么说的：真神之爱，浩瀚无边；化作春雨，降临人间；何等宝贝，滋润心田；超乎想像，最大恩典；听我心曲，由衷恳求；艰难之中，释我心怀；来到圣所，全然安息；圣灵为我，喜乐泉源。既然圣灵将上帝丰富的爱浇灌在我们心里(罗马书5章5节) ，那我们在任何景况下，岂不是都能体会上帝所赐的喜乐吗？在极度的困苦之中，使徒保罗这样描述自己的体会：「似乎忧愁，却是常常快乐的；似乎贫穷，却是叫许多人富足的；似乎一无所有，却是样样都有的」(哥林多后书6章10节) 。痛苦和忧伤都是人生不可避免的。然而圣灵是我们喜乐的泉源，他会带来「何等宝贝，滋润心田，超乎想像，最大恩典」。

快乐靠人；喜乐靠神。

Obsessed With Grades

2008-03-25T21:17:00.000-07:00

Dear all,

I got this article via email this morning and thought it is quite interesting for students! :) Food for thought, ppl!

Cheers,
Chris

I was a little psycho about grades in school. Maybe it's a firstborn thing. But from early grade school, I always wanted to get really good grades. I worked hard, I made sure I was on good terms with the teacher, and I usually made the honor roll. When my wife and I were going to college together, I used to drive her nuts with my concern over getting a "B."

I told you I was psycho. I know, you probably hated guys like me, but just consider it a condition and cut me some slack, OK? I'm probably not the only person in the world who has this "gotta get a good grade" thing!

I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Obsessed With Grades." It can be a good thing to be really focused on grades when it comes to school. It's definitely not a good thing when it comes to being a follower of Jesus Christ. But a lot of us like what I call measurable righteousness - a rigid standard by which I can grade myself as a Jesus-follower. And maybe more importantly, I can grade others as a Jesus-follower.

Don't get me wrong. God has clear boundaries for our lives and they‘re non-negotiable. The issue is whether or not we have a right to grade ourselves on how we're doing with Him; or whether or not we have a right to grade other people. When we do, we usually give ourselves a better grade based on some criteria by which we can come out looking good. Jesus knew some folks like that. They had a name - Pharisees. Jesus didn't have very nice things to say about them. Our word for today from the Word of God, Galatians 5, beginning with verse 1, is actually a Declaration of Independence, not from the desire to please God, but from the obsession with grading our righteousness or the righteousness of others, which almost always ends in spiritual pride for us and judgment of other people. God says, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." That slavery had been a legalistic bondage to a list of spiritual rules. John 1:17 says, "The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." That grace removes the word "deserve" from all our dealings with God. Hell is all we can deserve.

Our relationship is based on God's grace, not our goodness. It is "not by works so no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:9) the Bible says. Which is exactly what legalistic righteousness, spiritual grades, causes. It causes boasting. In Galatians, Paul says, "You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? You...were called to be free" (Galatians 5:7, 13). Earlier he asked, "Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law or by believing...? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?" (Galatians 3:2-3). God doesn't want us grading our righteousness or the righteousness of others, as ego-satisfying as that might be. We should never have a sense of having arrived spiritually. That's why, after thirty years of an awesome Christian life, the Apostle Paul was still "pressing on to win the prize." The spirit of Jesus isn't one of proudly measuring our righteousness.

It's a spirit of humility, of always feeling in desperate need of His grace, of always being amazed that He loved me. I'm always wanting to please my Jesus, but I'm not ever thinking I'm there. I'm never in a position to judge how someone else is doing, except to help a struggling brother or sister by restoring them, or confronting them, or exhorting them under the Spirit's prodding, but always with a sense of mercy and humility - never with a sense of condescension or pride.
One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 66:2. It defines the kind of person that impresses God, and that He wants to use. Here's what it says: "To this man will I look: to him who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word."

No grades - just grace.

Dear sisters and brothers,

Hereby , I wish to share a prayer item requested from our sister -- Jacqueline How Pai Xuan, who was studying at Beijing at this moment .. She requested for us to pray for the people in Lhasa... Where there had been severe violence in Lhasa, Tibet; it s between the monks and Chinese authorities .. And it was said that many CHristians were caught too ..

So , let's pray together , although we are far apart ..

But I believe that God had UNITED our hearts
together in Prayers ... ....

This is beautiful! Touching...

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.

She said: 'How is my little boy ? Is he going to be all right ? When can I see him ?'

The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care any more ? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.

'Would you like a lock of his hair ?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes.

The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else.

'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.'

She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them.

She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke .

Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. ...

The letter said :

'Dear Mom,

I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be sad th inking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly.

And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD ! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed.

Well, you know what Mom, God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you.

God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him ?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool ? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent Th e Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery ! How about that ?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

verse1

相片里儿时的摸样

记录着年少的时光

曾经在你我的心中

要登上月亮要飞越太平洋

verse2

多年后我们都成长

告别了青涩和迷惘

曾经在你我的心中

编织的梦想是否已遗忘

chorus

人生的理想是为主发光

拭去了眼泪使我们更坚强

路依然漫长别失去盼望

痛苦时记得有主在你身旁

为主来梦想为主来发光

虽然有挫折但我不用沮丧

主是我力量主指引方向

1/3 MYF-> John maxwell,The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership #10

2008-03-02T00:32:00.000-08:00

The Law of inner circle

David and the Law of the inner circle.

Read Bible:- 2samuel,

8:1-8 (David and the first war)

8:15-18 (David became the king)

10:6-14 (David and the second war)

23:8-23 (David's mighty men)

Why David relate to the law of inner circle??

a) start with one-> When the LORD delivered David from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of saul, suddenly he met Jonathon. Jonathon change David's life, and become one of the member of David's inner circle.

David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's household heard about it, they went down to him there. All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him. NIV 1samuel 22:1-2

b) from misfits to mighty men-> TTT, David train the trainer!

c) Building a kingdom

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said:

"we are yours, O David!

we are with you, O son of Jesse!

Success, success to you,

and success to those who help you,

for your God will help you."

So David recieved them and made them leaders of his raiding bands. (NIV 1Chronicles12:18)

Question: How David gather all the Wise and excellent members?

He started building a strong inner circle before he needed it
He attracted people with varied gifts
He engendered loyalty
He delegated responsibility based on ability.

Specification of Inner-Circle qualities:-

I= Influential

N=Networking

N=Nurturing

E=Empowering

R=Resourceful

C=Character-Driven

I=Intutive

R=Responsible

C=Competent

L=Loyal

E=Energetic

Teammates complete one another-not compere with one another-

"For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure" Proverbs 11:14, NIV

Joab said"If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to come to my rescue, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you." 2samuel 10:11 NIV

Who's on your list???

Intercessor??
Listener??
Encourager??
Creator??
Discerner??
Giver??
Defender??
Implementer??
Celebrater??
Resourcer??
Thinker??
Networker??
Mentor??
Protege??

三人同祷

2006-04-12T00:50:00.001-07:00

独力不能胜过的事，两人并肩就足以抗拒。三条线搓成的绳子，不容易扯断。（传4：12，《当代圣经》）

“三人同祷”在台湾和香港行之有年，这个属灵操练所爆发的果效，不仅令个人灵命成长，也祝福了很多信徒和教会，但是这个概念或操练在马来西亚并不多见...

何谓三人同祷

Why？學習自我關顧、與人相處、互相守望、得勝得力、祷蒙應允。
Who？年齡、背景、個性相近，最好是同一教會或學校，兩人或三人比較切實可行。最好是三人。也可和家人同祷。
When？單身、職青不妨每週同祷。女教牧或已婚者每月1~2次。
Where？最好在其中一位的家中，或在教會、辦公室、以舒適、安靜為理想，地點最好固定。What？每次相約用一小時、可有些少詩歌敬拜，至少2/3時間在祷告。其中除為每個人互相代祷外，也可為教會或宣教士祷告。
How？
1. 開始之前可以相約茶敘、分享，以增進認識。
2. 若是信主不久、或某一位有重大需要，另外兩人助力不足時，請找輔導或師姐、傳道等等求助。
3. 同一團契若已組成許多「三人祷告圈」可由導師守望，導師自己亦須要有祷伴。
4. 偶然可以聚餐、出遊、致電、送禮等等增進感情，漸進為佳。
5. 若必須終止同祷，應互相珍重祝福；必不可留下遺憾。成功要訣：守時、守約、守秘信任、真诚－認定我須要和你們一起成長！
