| Who is He? |
IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.
IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NEED OF A NORMAL CONCEPTION - IT WAS A DIVINE CONCEPTION through the power of the Holy Spirit. IN PHYSICS, HE DISAPPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN. IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD. IN MEDICINE, HE RESURRECTED THE DEAD, CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS. IN HISTORY AND IN TIME, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END. IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE;
IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM;
SO, WHO IS HE? HE IS JESUS CHRIST!
JOIN ME AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM; HE IS WORTHY. THE EYES BEHOLDING THIS MESSAGE SHALL NOT BEHOLD EVIL, THE HAND THAT WILL SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY SHALL NOT LABOR IN VAIN, AND THE MOUTH SAYING AMEN TO THIS PRAYER SHALL SMILE FOREVER. REMAIN IN GOD AND SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS. AMEN
IN GOD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING! The Greatest Man in History
While the world greedily runs after money, power, big titles and qualifications Jesus Christ who .....had no servants, was called Master.
Had no degree, was called Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet was called Healer.
Had no army, yet kings feared Him..
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He resurrected through the Holy Spirit of God in Him and continues to live today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

| God always wants you well |
John 14:9 9Jesus said to him, “… He who has seen Me has seen the Father…”
Imagine the following scenario:
A father says to his little girl, “Come here, girl. Mummy says that you have been playing by the roadside. Is that true?”
“Yes, Daddy. I’m sorry,” the little girl says softly.
“Sorry? How many times have I told you that you must not play near the road? Come here! Now, lie down on the road and stretch out your legs!”
The father drives his car over his little girl’s legs. There is the sound of bones being crushed and the poor girl screams in pain.
“Now girl, you know Daddy loves you. And Daddy did that to you to teach you a lesson, to tell you that playing by the roadside is dangerous.”
If you are shaking your head in horror by now, wondering which sick mind would do that to one’s own daughter, imagine what people are accusing our heavenly Father of — that He gives sicknesses, accidents, destruction and even death just to teach people lessons.
Jesus said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” Jesus is the nature of God in action. Throughout the gospel, we see God going about healing the sick. If God wants people sick, there should at least be one incident in the gospel where you see Him saying, “Behold, your complexion is too lovely, receive leprosy,” or “Blindness is good for you. Remain blind.” But no, never once! In fact, Jesus “went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil”. (Acts 10:38) That’s the heart of God.
As a father, if your child is sick and in great pain, your heart just wants him well. How much more your heavenly Father! God does not give your child sicknesses to teach both of you some lesson or to glorify Himself. To think so is to talk out of a warped mind bound by religion! Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship with your Father in heaven. It is a heart matter.
And His heart speaks to your heart, saying, “I will never ever punish My children. I do not wish you ill. I will not take away your child. I will not give you car wrecks to teach you a lesson. My heart always wants My children well!”

| HHC update |
Heyhey!
There's something very wrong with my life expedition email so i'm sending this out hoping everyone actually visits this blog..
Just an update:
Present-A-Present - Thanks to all who contributed (wrapping, collecting at the booth, promotions, entertainment). Believing that with the generosity of our community that our inner city kids will be blessed because of your giving hearts! The 60-over presents will be taken to the Stitches Warehouse this Saturday morning as Jesse and his team go there for a meeting (so any last minute presents, PLEASE bring them to the 10th floor!!)
Life101 - Its started! Mel, Nick and myself went for our first semiar on Saturday. What an Architect our Creator IS! I reckon He deserves the Honourary Award on the Wordwide Board of Architects. Personally i pray for myself that this will be a time where i'll not only learn of what is to be live free but to also STAY free! I do strongly encourage all of you to join up for the next course that runs as we will be using this material for next year in house church.
GRADUATION - Congrats to Stevie and Nick who are now PROFESSIONALS IN THE WORKPLACE!! May you know which Master you serve as you step out into this new season of your lives
EXAMS - Esther is having her last exam on Friday. Pray for perseverence, a clear and sound mind in the next few days for her.
Rooftop BBQ - On the 23rd Dec, our community will be hosting our xmas lunch on 10th floor. If you're around and would love to help out, please contact Aun. Help will be muchly appreciated as we serve our city! A great space to bring your mates along to mingle and dine with us. No one should spend Christmas alone!
SUMMER holz - Slip slop slap. Half of us have already jet-setted and i wish i could do this personally to each of you but I want to thank each of you for ONE AMAZING YEAR 2007, moments i'll keep close to my heart for the joys and the sorrows we've shared together as a spiritual family. I've journeyed life like never before this year with a bunch of beings i can now call friends whom are passionate and desiring to bear His image to be transformed in their lives. The SOAPs are online for your reference so do keep those devotions posted!
Next year will not be the same!
- We will resume House Church meetings in January when i return. I'll keep you posted via email.
~May we stand with arms stretched high and hearts abandoned in awe of the One who Gave it all~ |

| wasting away |
S: Isaiah 24: The earth will be completely laid waste...the earth dries up..the world languishes and withers..the earth is defiled by its people: they have disobeyed the laws..no longer do they drink wine with a song; the beer is bitter to its drinkers..
O: The people suffered from their sins. The land suffered the effects of sin.
A: How i see so much of the results of sin from the generations before us. I see it active in the interaction with friends, on the way to work, in my workplace, on the way home through conversations on the train, in myself. Poverty all around, selfishness, pride, idolatry, pollution..the list goes on. Hope for this world seems to be too far away to reach for me today with all i've experienced around me. Hearts very much astray..
P: God, renew my hope. Hope for the things in life with what i had hoped for. So much crap and 'falling short of your glory' around me, i feel sick. Give me eyes of faith to see again. Bring me back to the elementary truths of Your Living Word all over again. Please.. |

| Lady Wisdom & Madame Whore |
Scripture
Proverbs 9 (The Message version) Chapter headings: Lady Wisdom gives a dinner party Madame Whore calls out too
Observation
Oh I love how The Message version of the Bible ascribes names to the 2 opposing voices in our head. For so often, even right now as I'm writing... I find conflicting voices seem to take on a life of its own in my thoughts, fighting each other for attention to fill up the space in this blog post. There's another name for it: spiritual warfare.
Worse still, it can be very hard to discern the source of these voices. After all the N.I.V version says that they both live in the "highest point of the city."
At one corner of the ring is Lady Wisdom, telling me: Verse 6 "Leave your impoverished confusion and live!!! Walk up the street to a life with meaning." In my personal context, this means clinging desperately on to HOPE and His promise while life and the world seems to be pulling me down into the abyss.
At the other corner, Madame Whore calls out: "What you see is what you get, nothing more." It sows seeds of doubt and waits for it to harvest, it churns out 100 times more questions than answers.
Application
I admire those with child like faith, Jesus himself said the kingdom of heaven is for people like them. I notice the little girl with down syndrome at church who regularly stands at the front of church with hands outstretched, she is a lot closer to God than I am. Perhaps she can give me a lesson on God's character and love.
But I yearn to know the Truth and I refuse to live in blind faith.
I seek, but not in the hope that I am ever able to find You, rather that one day You decide to show me a glimpse of Yourself.
Prayer
Lord, what is the truth?
If You are the Truth that you claim to be, I await your grace of truth.
