READ THE WHOLE OF THIS POST, BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT.
i took time to change the colour and the font of the things that were most important! (x
although it quite failed.
----
Good Friday!
GAG was fun(: haha weiling get well soon, hazel em mich hope you guys got something, or a lot of things out of it. haha yes we rocked at dinner.
but on to more important stuff!
the actual meaning on Good Friday was not really shown in GAG i guess, but in the service before it.
Jesus died bearing all our sins on that day!
He loved us so much! that He even gave up His life for us, who are worthless without Him.
besides the crazy amount of physical pain He had to endure, he had to undergo tons of emotional pain, even separation from God.
that obedience, that love.. is indescribable.
wonderful shizz, seriously.
sigh i'm touched by this fact, always(:
haha funny, this hymn keeps coming up.
pastor siew chye's sermon, colleen's biblestudy material and even stef's blog O_O
i do love this song very much.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Easter Sunday!
again, i guess Pastor just really wanted the audience to just respond today, so the deeper meaning of Easter Sunday was again not very apparent.
He did give a super cool and cute sermon though xD
"I was married happily." (was?!)
"If i have Reebok shoes, then everyone will talk to me!" (lol)
"...Facebook then no one respond." (how sad)
...etc.
He also talked about how the love of God is unconditional, while the love which the world offers is always conditional.
eg. if you're rich, famous, smart, funny, popular.... the world will love you.
you can't deny how the world influences you to believe it! whether straight out or by subliminal means.
but yes, God's love is FREE.
FREEEE. (repitition for emphasis)
totally free.
the gift of God is like something you've tasted yourself, you've felt the great, real joy and love and healing that comes from it, and because it changed your own life, you know that it is the best, ever. all you wanna do is just wrap it in a gift box and give it to
everyone you care about, so that it'll change their lives too, make it so much
better and whole. you just don't know how they'll react, how they'll see it, or
if they'll think they dont need it at all, like you used to think. you don't
know how they'd respond, or if your relationship would become worse. you're
afraid to give it to them. but in the end you still decide to, because you can't
bear the thought of them living without the best thing in the world, which is
love. God is love. true love.
and now it's all up to them, if they'd
just taste a little of it, and find that wonderful love you've found.
i guess what i wanted to tell you that day but didn't know how to, was that you don't have to commit if you don't want to. it's your decision basically. but i mean, if you grow closer to God you'll see that you actually love to and want to commit after awhile. and although it does take up your time and stuff, i personally feel that what He did for us and is doing now still is so much greater than what we have to offer, and by serving Him i feel incredibly happy :D yupp that's it.Lifehouse skit! :DDDDD
WATCH IT. I think it's super nice! and our YMpact version wasn't bad at all:D
how can I stand here with You, and not be moved by You?
in case some of you were lazy and decided not to watch it....
:D
yupp this video really talks about How we are God's creation,
and at the start we are with God, and we are happy. but then wordly pleasures or the voices of the world pulls us away from Him, like how the girl in the video is drawn away from God by things like relationships, money, and a whole lot of vice. but in the end she realised that God was all she wanted and needed, and though the struggle to escape from the world was hard, He eventually saved her because she called to Him. He healed her and restored her. yay happy ending, tadaa.okayyy. well i think we forgot to focus on Jesus' resurrection today, and the significance of it.
haha. thus i'm really glad we had biblestudy on sat! :D it was a lot to take in, but cool anyhow.
besides signifying
newlife and rebirth, His resurrection also
allows God's work from the past to be carried onwards to the present!
and besides, can you imagine someone dying for three days then rising up for the dead?
NO.
:D
well yes now i can, but only Jesus(:
okay to sum it all up, i'm sad that we didn't get to play the first verse of Stronger at the end of both times! T.T
i like it loads :D
There is Love that came for us Humbled to a sinner's cross You broke my shame and sinfulness You rose again victorious
WOOHOO
