Sermon 25 May 2008

A-Pslam-A-Day is coming to an end. The last Psalm 150 will be on 29 May. Personally I have benefited greatly from this small little exercise. I am more disciplined and interested to read my bible every morning. It has become a habit that I have cultivated over the past 5 months. (It helps that John installed the whole bible in my hp =D)

What's next? A-John-A-Day! Chapter 1-21 =)

My Reflection for the sermon today (How to live a life on the cutting edge for God?)

1) Step Out
I am too used to being in my comfort zone and I have stopped to always be a blessing to others. Even though I advocate it with words, I have failed to accomplish it with deeds. Words without Deeds is pointless. I have to meet the needs of others physically and it starts from AT12.

2) Stand Out
I find my faith wavering whenever the storms of my life come and I don't feel like I'm always victorious in Christ. And everytime I think of giving up, God reminded me of my spiritual family - my brothers in JH12 and my brothers in AT12 - and I am encouraged to continue with the race. I don't want to be the weakest link and allow the devil to break into our defence. Because of that, I managed to stay on. Staying power comes from staying together (in the Body of Christ!) Ps 133, Ecc 4:10

3) Speak Out
I find myself always indulging in pessimism and very caught up in my life situation. I forgot to count my blessings and always be thankful. God reminded me that He truly desires my thanks offering and encouraged me to see the good out of every possible evil.

So now I want to give thanks to God that my malfunctioning hp is functioning mildly again! I also managed to retrieve 90% of my contacts which got lost in transition. I was so glad today. It made me realise that I have taken my hp (and possible other things) for granted and how much I can't do without them!

(Praise Him in everything, for He has made me glad! - we sang both songs today!)
