A BLESSED FATHER'S DAY

WISHING ALL FATHERS, GRANDFATHERS, AND FATHERS WOULD BE
A VERY BLESSED FATHER'S DAY.

Hey People it's Easter Today.

Just attended my first ever  Easter Service away from Home and in the early hour of the morning- 6.30 am!  at the St Andrew presbyterian  church. What a wonderful experience.
Why do Christians celebration Easter or Resurrection day as some churches prefer to call it. You may read more about this celebration here.  and  it's origin here.
If you are interested to read about the account of Jesus' crucification and His resurrection you can follow them in the gospel of Matthew 27:27-28:8 
His victory over death and the grave has given new hope to those who believes in Him.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]

Happy Resurrection Day Everyone.  or Happy Easter.

 

THE PROMISE

No, this is'nt about the  Kaige chen's movie the promised. Just last week, on a hiking trip I was so exited because I wanted to try out my new pair of shoes. After walking a couple of steps I found the ground was too slippery and reliased the wet condition on the ground might not be suitable for my shoes.
So I request the group of hikers to proceed to the hill while I go back to my car to change to a proper hiking shoes.I told them I will catch up with them as soon as I could. That was the promised.  Slowly but surely I make my way up and yelled out "I am back!" My friends were quite surprised and said wa so fast ah?  But  this is not what I am going to brag about, but rather it had me thinking about another promise,-a promise that was made many, many years ago.  Does this promise still hold true? These are my thoughts for the day.
In John 14:1-4, Jesus tells his disciples:

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

Following verses gives some clue to his coming:-
For as lightling that comes even in the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky,and all the nations of the earth will moun.They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky,with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:27,30
Yes, waiting for something that looks like eternity and not going happen soon, requires patience and faith.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming.See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. James 5:7,8
Remember God's clock and our clock are differrent:-
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8,9
He left us with the final word in Revelation 22: 20."Yes I am coming soon"

Save the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge

Nature lovers please do not let this happen.

 I was quite alarm when I saw this on facebook. I had heard earlier from someone on the proposed KL Outer Ring Road (KLORR)and when I saw the pettion here that I realise this is gonna happen unless something is done quick.The highway will cut across the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge and through the Selangor State Park. When that happen we can kissed goodbye to mother nature and clean water.Please help spread the word and support by signing the pettion here.

All these will be gone if we do nothing. Please act now, before it is too late.

Have I failed?

 The death of my beloved late grand mother, still has an effect on me. I still can't help asking myself have I failed.? Have I done my part being the leader that I am suppose to be?  why is it one , by one of my family members seems to abandon their faith?  Sure they make their own choice, but then I felt I am responsible. Yes, I have failed. It appear now I am the only one in the family who holding on to the faith. I was offer the joss stick many a time and each time I have to refuse them.Actually I was not totally alone,because one of my niece too did not took the joss stickl. I am thankful for the few friends from my cell group who turn up during one of the nights. Their presence was a welcome, after feeling so lonely, been alone making my stand.something good did come out of this experience, because my third uncle  ask me a question, can a christian take part in the ceremony? At first I thought  he was directing the question to me.I told him we can support with our presence but we can't take part in their ceremony and holding the joss stick is one of them. I was sure he was happy with my honest answer. Later he told me two of his children.(my cousins )were christians too. Praise the Lord I was not alone after all. I was then reminded of this verse found 1 Kgs. 19:1) "Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."

This morning while still thinking about what happen last sunday, I was encourage by this lovely song .Thank you worship team for selecting this song.God Bless you guys.

THIS DEVICE WILL HEAL YOUR MARRIAGE

Finally got myself a GPS at the Mobile and It fair at Harbour Place in Klang.
It was a real bargain at only MYR380.00.It comes with a one year warranty.It has Garmin and Papago softwares. My Pastor said getting the GPS(Global Positioning System)is a good investment, as it will heal your marriage. He is firm believer in GPS. You will be surprise how many people asked him about the GPS after the service. Those of us who had back seat drivers will know what kind of unnecessary heated argument we can avoid with this new device.Well, I had my fair share of argument too.But that was a long time ago. Now a days we drive separate cars.!(LOL) No, actually when we do go to an unknown places we make a pact not to argue and if we are really lost to ask for direction. She always claim I had problem with that! Anyway with this new baby I think we can finally reach our destination in peace.It is a welcome to hear clear soothing direction from the navigator. In case we still get lost now we can always put the blame on the GPS. Would'nt it be nice whenever we reached our destination to hear a soothing voice complimenting us"Well done you have reached your destination or something to that effect, since we don't hear that from our spouse right?
Well people if you have not got your GPS go get one. The sales ends this sunday.
