Session 3 - Choosing to believe the Truth
Hebrews 11:6 Wihout faith it is impossible to please God, because
anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He
rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Session 4 - The world's view of Truth
Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be tranformed by renewing of your mind. Then you will be able
to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect
will.

Spider......
Date: 4th April 2009
Venue: our house
While we were surfing the net, suddenly a tiny little "creature"
appeared in front of Nelson. It's a spider!!!!! It actually
hung and dropped itself down from the ceilling.... Wow!!!
it's amazing!!! I tried to "destroy" it's thread by blowing at it.
No matter how i blew it, the spider still clung at the thread.
I really "pui fok" it's perseverence!!!!
I suddenly thought of one bible verse:
"but he who stands firm to the end will be saved"
(Matt 24:13) .
Yes!!! i need to stand firm...... continue to shine for Jesus...
No matter what happened or what will happen, i will still
trust in Him and glorify His name.....

Life Cell Fellowship - Session 1
It is great that we can meet at Ezra & Edith's house for Life Cell
fellowship. We watch the Freedom in Christ dvd (by Neil Anderson
& Steve Goss). It's a 13 week course for Christians. I gained a lot
from the 4 sessions. Every week i am renewed by God's word.
Session 1: Where did i come from
Did you think that eternal life is something that you get when you die?
It's much more than that - it's a whole different quality of life right now.
"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son does not have
life" (1 John 5:12)
Being spiritually alive and connected to God meant that Adam & eve
possessed a number of very important qualities of life:
1) Significance
I am significant. I am no longer worthless, inadequate, helpless or
hopeless. In Christ I am deeply significant and special. God says
a) I am the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matt 5:13,14)
b) I am a branch of the true vine, Jesus, a channel of His life
(John 15:1,5)
c) I have been chosen and appointed by God to bear fruit (John 15:16)
d) I am a personal, Spirit-empowered witness of Christ (Acts 1:8)
e) I am a temple of God (1 Cor 3:16)
f) I am a minister of reconciliation for God (2 cor 5:17-21)
g) I am God's fellow workers (2 Cor 6:1)
h) I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6)
i) I am God's workmanship, created for good works (Ephesians 2:10)
j) I may approach God with freedom and confidence (Ephesians 3:12)
k) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phillipians 4:13)
2) I am Secure
I am no longer guilty, unprotected, alone or abandoned. In Christ I am
totally secure. God says:
a) I am free forever from condemnation (Romans 8:1,2)
b) I am assured that all things work together for good (Romans 8:28)
c) I am free from any condemning charges against me (Romans 8:31-34)
d) I cannot be seperated from the love of God (Romans 8:35-39)
e) I have been established, anointed and selaed by God (2 Cor 1:21,22)
f) I am confident that the good work God has begun in me will be
perfected (Phillipians 1:6)
g) I am a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20)
h) I am hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3)
i) I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound
mind (2 Timothy 1:7)
j) I can find grace and mercy to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16)
k) I am born of God and the eil one cannot touch me (1 John 5:18)
3) I am Accepted
I am no longer rejected, unloved or dirty. In Christ I am completely
accepted. God says:
a) I am God's child. (John 1:12)
b) I am Christ's friend (John 15:15)
c) I have been justified (Romans 5:1)
d) I am united with the Lord and I am one spirit with Him (1 Cor 6:17)
e) I have been bought wiht price. I belong to God (1 Cor 6:19-20)
f) I am a member of Christ's body (1 Cor 12:17)
g) I am a saint, a holy one (Ephesians 1:1)
h) I have been adopted as God's child (Ephesians 1:5)
i) I have direct access to God through the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:18)
j) I have been redeemed and forgiven for all my sins (Colossians 1:14)
k) I am complete in Christ (Colossions 2:10)
Special thanks to Edith who always care for our
stomach!!! haha!!! Thanks for all your hard work
and kindness in making all the yummy desserts...

Goodbye our dear keyboard
Venue: Kelly's house
After a few discussions, we decided to "sell" our keyboard......
Don't misunderstand... it's not the result of credit crunch.....
It's just that Kelly needs the keyboard more than us.....and
honestly we do not really "touch" the keyboard unless we
want to practise for Sunday worship's songs.............
