  • Over?not yet..huhuhuhu..

    so exams are over..
    i repeat..
    OVER!!

    hahaha..
    itz so nice to finally sit back..

    but not for long..
    my mum was telling me that shez gonna MAKE(literally) me
    revise form 4 this year so that next yr in form 5
    i will b able to do well and have good foundation..

    form 4 has not been all that smooth..
    haha..
    a few E's, D's here and there..
    but God has been gracious..
    and i did OK(i guess) for this exam..

    hmm..
    i have been reading up lots of biographies lately
    Martin Luther, Martin Luther King
    Florence Nightingale
    Hudson Taylor, William Carrey
    William Tyndale, David Livingstone..

    and u knw wad?
    this has actually kinda motivated me to go
    do my degree (diploma or masters)
    in mayb medicine or linguistics
    b4 i head off to bible school..

    i feel that missionaries today arent as prepared
    as their predecessors..
    but that doesnt make them less anointed..
    just less privileged, in a sense that
    in a world where ppl oni wanna knw wad u can giv,
    and if u giv non-Christians the bible all the time
    some of them will get pretty fed-up..

    the olden days missionaries all had
    medical degrees, linguistics degress, math degrees
    engineering degrees, most at colleges and institutions if not self-trained...

    these people were Pastors, doctors, builders, plumbers, engineers,
    bible translators etc.

    it made such a BIG impact..
    look at China..
    Hudson Taylor is down to his 4th generation now..
    still in China as missionaries..
    they speak FLUENT Chinese..
    knw more Chinese culture den most Chinese do..
    and Hudson himself translated the Chinese bible..

    William carey,
    self trained botanist, and linguist..
    He translated God's word in
    lotz of diff indian dialects..

    imagine that..

    so, i tink,
    if i want God to use me..
    i want Him to use a prepared me..
    a me who will b able to use my talents to the fullest..
    a me that will b able to serve under all circumstances..

    so, i will start my revision..
    tonite..
    i will forgo Criminal Minds,
    because, i have a greater calling..
    den being a couch potato..
    Amen?
    hahaha

    God is good,
    All the time
    He is good..

  • ALL THE SWEARING GOTTA STOP!!

    I sumtimes wonder..

    y do Christians swear?

    y do we need to vent our displeasure in dat way?

    y do we need to show others : SO WHAT?

    i can say that too..TOOT..


    How come?

     

    I just had a convo with a Christian friend..

    A Christian youth leader actually..

    A good Christian leader..

    one who I have come to respect a lot over the years..

    I believe that person is a good Christian..

    A faithful believer of the Word..

     

    I do not doubt that this person has great faith in Lord Jesus Christ..

    I do not doubt that this person is a good person..

    But this friend of mine said a bad word..

    TOOT..

    I cringe..

    SERIOUSLY,

    I cringe when I hear bad words now..

    Itz a phobia now..

     

    I really do hate hearing ppl swear..

    Honestly..

     

    And this friend of my mine

    Ok, I’ll reveal her sex..oops..gave that away..

     

    Thatz all, no names k?

    Haha..

    She was venting on assignments and the F-bomb came out..

     

    TOOT..


    and so i said

    no SWEARING around me..

    seriously,

    in my sch,

    my frnz are careful to swear around me..

    i make it clear..

    I HATE

    I HATE

    I HATE

    People CUSSING in front of me..


    and sometimes they forget..

    and i give them a "reminder"..

    "PAP"..hehe


    So i just casually told her off..

    and she was quite unhappy(i perceive)..

    she told me not to bring up religious talk and

    told me to accept the reality that i cant go

    around telling ppl wad to say and wad not to say..


    My exact words were these:

    Paul said, do not be conformed to the world.


    Friends,

    we as Christians shud never conform to the world..

    in one way or another, we have conformed to the world..

    i admit, my eating habits are not heavenly..=)

    but the thing is..


    there is no need to b offended..

    and there is no need for swearing..


    u may say

    oh, this is who i am

    so "toot" yeah, u can kiss my "toot" and

    go rant ur "toot" elsewhere..


    frm a non-Christian, i will (sadly and grievously) accept it..

    But from a Christian,

    im sorry to say, i cant accept this..


    i distinctly rmb Jesus said

    be in the world, but not of the world..


    yes, my dear friend,

    i realise that i cant make the world revolve around me..

    but when the whole world around me is swearing..

    i do not revolve around the world..

    do u understand?


    im not being sarcastic..

    im saying this from a believers view..

    a friends view..

    im not correcting u out of spite..

    im correcting u out of love..


    God help me,

    i feel so discouraged..

    so so so discouraged..


    y do Christians swear?

    is it cool?

    NO!!

    itz far from cool..

    itz like -100 on my cool-o-meter


    dun tell me itz who u r..

    the world sees us by our actions..

    no non-christian will not care who u r..

    d world goes round too fast..

    they are too indulged in their own lives..

    they see ur outwardness..

    and when Christians get too indulged in our life..

    there is a hokkien phrase..

    CHAM LOR


    so if our outwardness is contradicting the Word,

    den wad is our testimony?


    i m being convicted by writing this as well..

    im not more holy den anyone..

    i think i've been in deeper sin den my non-Christians b4..

    but i know Christ has forgiven me..


    my dear friend,

    i respect u..

    i alwayz have..

    and im saying this out of kindness..

    hope u understand the intention of my heart..

    im not saying im a greater christian den u..

    but i just want u to knw..

    that i feel dat swearing less

    is defintely a better testimony..


    and as i talk the talk

    im ganna walk the walk..


    im not gonna say things like

    Wad the crap

    or

    freaking <verb>

    anymore


    i refuse to poke my own shield with my own spear..

    God help me..

    im a great sinner..


    so from now..

    so dat i rmb


    ALL THE SWEARING GOTTA STOP!!

    i knw itz hard..


    but

    as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says..

    If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation

    Behold, the old has pass away and the new has come..


    Amen to the grace of God

    awwwwh man...
    im like SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO
    Proud of him..
    haha..
    dint expect that to happen at all!!

    but niwayz..

    back to the rest of the week..
    we are having 5 days break..
    so im quite free..
    shhh dun let my mum see this..
    she will keeeel me..=)

    i met a group of really really interesting ppl last week..
    they were from a Johor Christian drug rehab centre, House of Hope..
    and they are such a good testimony..
    they reach out to drug addicts all over malaysia..
    they were so fun to b around..
    and they r realy great..

    for instance, when Kota Tinggi was flooded last year..
    they were the ones that helped out all the victims..
    they rescued countless ppl..
    donated food and water..
    and they dint even go in the newspapers..
    the leader (a lady) refused any of her team to hold cameras
    bcz she said that they were not doing it for fame..

    the buddhist society Tzu Chi did one day..
    they helped out in the flood for ONE DAY..
    and they told the newspaper how hard it was..
    the next day, they dint show up.

    where as these ex-cons, ex-drug addicts..
    they were the ones shining for Jesus..
    they stuck by the whole 2 weeks..
    never uttering any complains!!

    Glory to God!God bless their souls..
    What we do in secret, God shall openly reward...
    i have really come to look up to these ppl..!!

    I pray that their ministry will prosper!

  • Child of God..

    i remember
    going for a robotics competition
    2 yrs back..
    and
    there were
    5 or 6 of us
    in the group..

    so, after the competition(we dint get anything)..
    my teacher was chatting with a teacher
    from a diff school..
    and he started introducing us
    to the other teacher..

    teacher : owh, this one arh..this one is penyelia petang son,
    this one discipline teachers daughter..
    this one is the PK Koko of anudder sch son, this one is my daughter,
    this one PIBG presidents son..bla bla..

    and den, he came to me..
    now,
    this teacher is NOT one of my fans..
    (i dint do his homework for a LOOONG time..so go figure=)..)

    teacher : this one arh..dun know whos son la..
    he is mixed breed one
    (im of mixed parentage)..
    alwayz tag along with us to ponteng..

    at that time, it did feel hurting..
    i dint feel good at all..
    and it was more of an insult to me..
    but den i realised, it was an insult to my parents..
    a mixed breed?
    wahlao..
    no better word?

    at that time, i was a bitter fella,
    so i kept it in me..
    i din hold it against the teacher,
    but i kept it in me..

    recently,
     i was going thru a pile of
    motivational stories and i found this..

    "A number of years ago a seminary professor was vacationing with his wife in Gatlinburg, Tennessee where they were eating breakfast at a little restaurant, hoping to enjoy a quiet family meal. While they were waiting for their food, they noticed a distinguished looking, white-haired man moving from table to table visiting with the guests. The professor leaned over and whispered to his wife: "I hope he doesn't come over here." But sure enough, the man did come over to their table.

    "Where are you folks from?" he asked in a friendly voice. "Oklahoma," they answered. "Great to have you here in Tennessee," the stranger said."What do you do for a living?" "I teach at a seminary," he replied. "Oh, you teach preachers how to preach? Well, I've got a really great story for you." And with that, the gentleman pulled up a chair and sat down at the table with the couple.

    "See that mountain over there?" (pointing out the restaurant window). Not far from the base of that mountain, there was a boy born to an unwed mother. He had a hard time growing up, because every place he went, he was always asked the same question: 'Hey boy, Who's your daddy?' Whether he was at school, in the grocery store or drug store, people would ask the same question, "Who's your daddy?" He would hide at recess and lunchtime from other students. He would avoid going into stores because that question hurt him so bad.

    "When he was about 12 years old, a new preacher came to his church. He would always go in late and slip out early to avoid hearing the question, "Who's your daddy?" But one day, the new preacher said the benediction so fast he got caught and had to walk out with the crowd. Just about the time he got to the back door, the new preacher, not knowing anything about him, put his hand on his shoulder and asked him, "Son, who's your daddy?" The whole church got deathly quiet. He could feel every eye in the church looking at him. By now, everyone knew the answer to the question, 'Who's your daddy?'

    "This new preacher, though, sensed the situation around him and using discernment that only the Holy Spirit could give, said the following to that scared little boy... 'Wait a minute!' he said, 'I know who you are. I see the family resemblance now. You are a child of God.' With that he patted the boy on his shoulder and said: 'Boy, you've got a great inheritance. Go and claim it.'

    "With that, the boy smiled for the first time in a long time and walked out the door a changed person. He was never the same again. Whenever anybody asked him, 'Who's your Daddy?' he'd just tell them, 'I'm a Child of God.'

    "The distinguished gentleman got up from the table and said, "Isn't that a great story?" The professor responded that it really was a great story! As the man turned to leave, he said, "You know, if that new preacher hadn't told me that I was one of God's children, I probably never would have amounted to anything!" And he walked away.

    "The seminary professor and his wife were stunned. He called the waitress over and asked her, "Do you know who that man was who just left who was sitting at our table?" The waitress grinned and said, "Of course. Everybody here knows him. That's Ben Hooper. He's the former governor of Tennessee!"

    now, some ppl mite say
    dat itz fake and stuff..
    but i checked it on
    snopes.com
    a famous urban legend buster website..
    itz true to the dot..

    a blogger wrote : "Not only "What a story!" but "What a life!" "
    true isn't it?

    back to my tale..

    u know, when i read it,i rmbered the incident..
    and i rmbered, even while i was still a sinner..
    God gave His son to die for me..
    To prove that He loves us..

    John 3:16 is proof!!

    For God so loved the world(us)
    that He gave His only Son,
    so that whoever believes in Him
    shall not perish in the fires of hell,
    but have eternal life with Him in heaven..

    how amazing isn't it?it never ceases to amaze me!!

    John 1:12
    But to all who did receive Him,
    who believed in His name,
    He gave the right to become children of God.

    So, whoever believes in Jesus' name,
    receives Him as their savior,
    they are children of God..

    I now know my identity..
    and it brings me to tears..
    that such a great God would care for this soul..
    and give His Son..

    if you're wondering whether your life is worth living..
    if u think u are not worth as a human being
    or
    if you think no one cares, Jesus cares..

    im a child of God..
    and nothing..
    NOTHING
    will ever change the fact that Jesus died for me..

    Lord, we thank you that in the time Pastor Sunther lived, he had lived a good life
    His ministry was important, serving people was important, serving You was important
    thank you that He left such a great legacy..
    Lord, please touch those close to him,

    thank You Father God..
    Fill them with a passion to do more for Your name
    In Jesus name i pray

    Revelation 14:13
    Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
    "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

  • A tribute..

    a tribute to Pastor Tan,
    who passed away on sunday morning at 1.30am..
    It is a sad thing..
    however, itz all God's timing..

    it seems so surreal to me rite now..
    i cant really believe he is gone..
    one minute i was talking to him,
    the next i heard of his passing..

    itz kinda saddening..
    but i must stay strong..
    for i have lotz to do..

    May God bless his loved ones dat they wont grieve so much..
    the Lord is a good Lord..
    those who mourn will be comforted..

    Please pray for us in Kulim..
    we lost a man..
    of which the world is alredi short of such man..
    a man who is strong in principles,
    a man who is driven by the Word..
    a man, ordained by the Lord
    to b a shepherd..

  • revival?or just false security in grace?

    i actually dun knw wad i wanna blog about..
    so, we just see where it goes la hor..
    haha..

    u knw wadz weird nowadayz?
    normal people..
    everyone is trying to be sumting else..
    dat the normal people
    suddenly become the weird ones..
    itz like the status quo has changed...

    weirdo 1 : wadz ur style?hypie?
    "normal" : nahh..itz normal..
    weirdo 2 : owwh...<whispers> freak..

    i mean..wad?
    haha..
    u get me?
    everyone else is trying to b
    goth, hip, anime, japanese, punk..
    and den we've got the
    BLING BLINGs..
    come on people..

    now, i do not classify myself as normal..
    in fact im FAR from normal..
    i laugh WAY too much..
    i talk WAY too loud..
    i talk when i shouldnt and keep quiet when i shouldnt..
    actually, i hardly keep quiet..
    people usually will have to tell me
    to put a sock in it, or pipe down..
    but hey, no onez perfect rite?=)

    in fact we are soooo far from perfect that
    God had to send His ONLY Son..
    i repeat, ONLY Son
    to die for us..

    bare with me..
    im no great evangelist or prophet..
    im just speaking my thoughts..

    u knw, i ask sum junior today..a non-Christian..
    me : "adik ada lakukan dosa tak?adik rasa adik orang yang berdosa?"
    (hey junior, do u sin?do u think u are a sinner?)
    junior : "uhhh...dulu la..skarang sikit sikit la..tak gitu berdosa.."
    (last time terrible sinner..now less..not so sinful la..)

    that is a non-Christians point of view..acceptable..
    at least he is honest enuff to admit he sinned..

    i have met Christians..Christians mind u..
    who claim dat by the grace of God, they are sinless..
    no no no, my frenz..
    we are not sinless..
    even by the blood of Jesus, we are still not sinless...

    sum of u mite disagree..
    dun mark me off as a phoney yet..
    i dint say we are not cleansed from our sin..
    yes, by Jesus death on the cross,
    we have been cleansed..

    but sin has become such a "sensitive" issue nowadayz..
    ESP in CHURCH..

    we were born sinners, we lived branded as sinners
    we die sinners, we will judged as sinners..
    PERIOD..

    itz by God's grace that we enter Heaven..
    and be chosen ones..

    now, im oni saying this bcz, dis is a way
    to remind myself..of where i came from..
    sum of us dwell too much in the
    GRACE..
    dat we take grace in vain..

    we sin and sin and sin..
    we do not repent..
    but we say..
    BY THE GRACE OF GOD
    I AM CLEAN...
    and we call that revival..

    now, imagine this..
    a pastor goes to hillsong church..
    stands in front of the crowd..
    points at a pastor's son and screams in his face..
    SINNER..

    radical?
    irrational?
    contradicting with God's word?
    a bit too tensed i wud agree..
    but out of the topic?
    rude?
    i wud beg to differ..

    isn't dat our true identity?
    y do we count ourselves saints when we are hardly doing charity..
    we scream our butts off in traffic jams..
    swear when ppl accidently step on our toes..
    hit otherz back when they jokingly hit us..
    and we go to church on a sunday or a saturday or any other day and sit down
    in the pews,and say WE ARE HOLY..

    if going to church once a week makes u holy..
    den all the cockroaches are going to heaven..

    if reading the bible once a month takes u to heaven..
    den the bookworms (literally, the worms dat eat books) have gotten their salvation and will given crowns of righteousness and life..

    why are we allowing ourselves to b deceived..
    deceived into a comfort zone of DOING NOTHING..
    why?
    we say we are redeemed..
    yet we are uninterested in church prayer..
    uninterested in church matters..
    uninterested in holiness and spirituality and things of God..
    and yet, we are in church, and we sing
    yes..Jesus is our Lord..
    yes, He saved me from hell
    we say it to our frenz..
    but yet, we do not FEEL His love..
     

    if true revival is to come..
    people are to get off the pews
    on their knees
    and BEG for forgiveness from the Lord..
    EVERY SINGLE TIME we enter His presence..
    dat is how it should b..

    not feeling HIGH for a week or so and dying off the next..
    but an ever-continuing FIRE and PASSION for Jesus..

    we need to b reminded..
    im speaking ESP to teenagers..

    teenagers cant b pampered too much..
    teenagers cannot b loved too much..
    im not saying cannot at all..
    im saying cannot be too much..
    y?
    we go off course..
    we think every thing is ok with us..
    we are free to do as we like..
    God wont get angry if we do this or do that..

    my fellow teenagers, let us b reminded
    dat we ARE sinners even unto death..
    and only by Jesus blood are we truly going to b saved..
    and not d FALSE SECURITY in our "holiness"

    if revival is to come..
    people are to get up and work..
    not sit in church and laugh all day..
    go to church yet..
    but rmb..
    ENTER TO WORSHIP..
    DEPART TO SERVE..

    then said he unto them, 'The harvest indeed is abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.
    Luke 10:2

    we want people in the frontline..
    those who will fight for Jesus..
    in the dark hours..
    are u up for this..
    dun take the back pews..
    choose to serve UPFRONT..

    my frenz..
    let us take up the cross
    and follow Jesus..

    if u are free, go to youtube and search for Paul Washer..
    we need more preachers like him...

    i mite seem more radical..
    but im not..
    Marcus has not changed..
    neither has Jesus..
    my passion is to see back-sliding youths
    COME BACK to the Lord..

    my frenz, the battle is not over..
    The Battle has just begun..

    wait..wait a min..

    p/s : all this came as i started writing..
    i do believe it is Spirit-inspired..
    if u feel im too rough, or too irrational..
    feel free to let me knw..
    hey, im human k..
    and im a sinner..

     here is a wonderful song to go with
    wad i have just said..


    Alison Krauss - Remind Me, Dear Lord lyrics

    The things that I love
    and hold dear to my heart
    they're just borrowed
    they're not mine at all
    Jesus only let me use them
    to brighten my life
    So remind me, remind me dear Lord

    Chorus:
    Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
    show me WHERE You brought me from and
    WHERE i could have been
    just remember I'm a human and human's forget
    so remind me, remind me dear Lord

    Nothing good have i done
    to deserve God's own Son
    I'm not worthy of the scars
    in His hands
    yet he chose the road to Calvary
    to die in my stead
    why He loved me i can't understand

    Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
    show me where you brought me from and
    where i could have been
    just remember I'm a human and human's forget
    so remind me, remind me dear Lord

    Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
    so remind me, remind me dear Lord


    yes Lord,
    indeed we are human
    and are in need of Your touch
    once again..
    thank You Lord for all You
    have done..
    altho we dun show it..
    but deep down,
    we do appreciate Ur gift..
    we love You Lord..
    in Jesus name
    Amen..

    i hope u see eye to eye with me..
    but rmb, im not perfect, i have mistakes..
    PLS CORRECT ME if u find necessary
    no, im not being sarcastic..
    thnx for reading..

    really really signing off,

  • Over?not yet..huhuhuhu..

    so exams are over..
    i repeat..
    OVER!!

    hahaha..
    itz so nice to finally sit back..

    but not for long..
    my mum was telling me that shez gonna MAKE(literally) me
    revise form 4 this year so that next yr in form 5
    i will b able to do well and have good foundation..

    form 4 has not been all that smooth..
    haha..
    a few E's, D's here and there..
    but God has been gracious..
    and i did OK(i guess) for this exam..

    hmm..
    i have been reading up lots of biographies lately
    Martin Luther, Martin Luther King
    Florence Nightingale
    Hudson Taylor, William Carrey
    William Tyndale, David Livingstone..

    and u knw wad?
    this has actually kinda motivated me to go
    do my degree (diploma or masters)
    in mayb medicine or linguistics
    b4 i head off to bible school..

    i feel that missionaries today arent as prepared
    as their predecessors..
    but that doesnt make them less anointed..
    just less privileged, in a sense that
    in a world where ppl oni wanna knw wad u can giv,
    and if u giv non-Christians the bible all the time
    some of them will get pretty fed-up..

    the olden days missionaries all had
    medical degrees, linguistics degress, math degrees
    engineering degrees, most at colleges and institutions if not self-trained...

    these people were Pastors, doctors, builders, plumbers, engineers,
    bible translators etc.

    it made such a BIG impact..
    look at China..
    Hudson Taylor is down to his 4th generation now..
    still in China as missionaries..
    they speak FLUENT Chinese..
    knw more Chinese culture den most Chinese do..
    and Hudson himself translated the Chinese bible..

    William carey,
    self trained botanist, and linguist..
    He translated God's word in
    lotz of diff indian dialects..

    imagine that..

    so, i tink,
    if i want God to use me..
    i want Him to use a prepared me..
    a me who will b able to use my talents to the fullest..
    a me that will b able to serve under all circumstances..

    so, i will start my revision..
    tonite..
    i will forgo Criminal Minds,
    because, i have a greater calling..
    den being a couch potato..
    Amen?
    hahaha

    God is good,
    All the time
    He is good..

  • ALL THE SWEARING GOTTA STOP!!

    I sumtimes wonder..

    y do Christians swear?

    y do we need to vent our displeasure in dat way?

    y do we need to show others : SO WHAT?

    i can say that too..TOOT..


    How come?

     

    I just had a convo with a Christian friend..

    A Christian youth leader actually..

    A good Christian leader..

    one who I have come to respect a lot over the years..

    I believe that person is a good Christian..

    A faithful believer of the Word..

     

    I do not doubt that this person has great faith in Lord Jesus Christ..

    I do not doubt that this person is a good person..

    But this friend of mine said a bad word..

    TOOT..

    I cringe..

    SERIOUSLY,

    I cringe when I hear bad words now..

    Itz a phobia now..

     

    I really do hate hearing ppl swear..

    Honestly..

     

    And this friend of my mine

    Ok, I’ll reveal her sex..oops..gave that away..

     

    Thatz all, no names k?

    Haha..

    She was venting on assignments and the F-bomb came out..

     

    TOOT..


    and so i said

    no SWEARING around me..

    seriously,

    in my sch,

    my frnz are careful to swear around me..

    i make it clear..

    I HATE

    I HATE

    I HATE

    People CUSSING in front of me..


    and sometimes they forget..

    and i give them a "reminder"..

    "PAP"..hehe


    So i just casually told her off..

    and she was quite unhappy(i perceive)..

    she told me not to bring up religious talk and

    told me to accept the reality that i cant go

    around telling ppl wad to say and wad not to say..


    My exact words were these:

    Paul said, do not be conformed to the world.


    Friends,

    we as Christians shud never conform to the world..

    in one way or another, we have conformed to the world..

    i admit, my eating habits are not heavenly..=)

    but the thing is..


    there is no need to b offended..

    and there is no need for swearing..


    u may say

    oh, this is who i am

    so "toot" yeah, u can kiss my "toot" and

    go rant ur "toot" elsewhere..


    frm a non-Christian, i will (sadly and grievously) accept it..

    But from a Christian,

    im sorry to say, i cant accept this..


    i distinctly rmb Jesus said

    be in the world, but not of the world..


    yes, my dear friend,

    i realise that i cant make the world revolve around me..

    but when the whole world around me is swearing..

    i do not revolve around the world..

    do u understand?


    im not being sarcastic..

    im saying this from a believers view..

    a friends view..

    im not correcting u out of spite..

    im correcting u out of love..


    God help me,

    i feel so discouraged..

    so so so discouraged..


    y do Christians swear?

    is it cool?

    NO!!

    itz far from cool..

    itz like -100 on my cool-o-meter


    dun tell me itz who u r..

    the world sees us by our actions..

    no non-christian will not care who u r..

    d world goes round too fast..

    they are too indulged in their own lives..

    they see ur outwardness..

    and when Christians get too indulged in our life..

    there is a hokkien phrase..

    CHAM LOR


    so if our outwardness is contradicting the Word,

    den wad is our testimony?


    i m being convicted by writing this as well..

    im not more holy den anyone..

    i think i've been in deeper sin den my non-Christians b4..

    but i know Christ has forgiven me..


    my dear friend,

    i respect u..

    i alwayz have..

    and im saying this out of kindness..

    hope u understand the intention of my heart..

    im not saying im a greater christian den u..

    but i just want u to knw..

    that i feel dat swearing less

    is defintely a better testimony..


    and as i talk the talk

    im ganna walk the walk..


    im not gonna say things like

    Wad the crap

    or

    freaking <verb>

    anymore


    i refuse to poke my own shield with my own spear..

    God help me..

    im a great sinner..


    so from now..

    so dat i rmb


    ALL THE SWEARING GOTTA STOP!!

    i knw itz hard..


    but

    as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says..

    If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation

    Behold, the old has pass away and the new has come..


    Amen to the grace of God

    but niwayz..

    back to the rest of the week..
    we are having 5 days break..
    so im quite free..
    shhh dun let my mum see this..
    she will keeeel me..=)

    i met a group of really really interesting ppl last week..
    they were from a Johor Christian drug rehab centre, House of Hope..
    and they are such a good testimony..
    they reach out to drug addicts all over malaysia..
    they were so fun to b around..
    and they r realy great..

    for instance, when Kota Tinggi was flooded last year..
    they were the ones that helped out all the victims..
    they rescued countless ppl..
    donated food and water..
    and they dint even go in the newspapers..
    the leader (a lady) refused any of her team to hold cameras
    bcz she said that they were not doing it for fame..

    the buddhist society Tzu Chi did one day..
    they helped out in the flood for ONE DAY..
    and they told the newspaper how hard it was..
    the next day, they dint show up.

    where as these ex-cons, ex-drug addicts..
    they were the ones shining for Jesus..
    they stuck by the whole 2 weeks..
    never uttering any complains!!

    Glory to God!God bless their souls..
    What we do in secret, God shall openly reward...
    i have really come to look up to these ppl..!!

    I pray that their ministry will prosper!
