happy half-2009 to everyone! woohoo half of the year has past! it's amazing how some of our lives have taken a complete change during these six months. let's continue to trust God for the rest of the year. He is always by our side!
i thought this sunday's sermon was in timely fashion. it strongly convicts us of the need not only to 'pour the flour' but also to be weary of being ignorant christians who chase the wrong things.
anyways, this week in ASS, i thought we could dwell on something that our church is going to embark on next year. MISSIONS!
as we continue to ponder over what was shared on sunday, i thought that missions could be a welcome distraction for us to think about. i bet an ice-cream the first verse that comes to mind is the 'great commission' verse, which is located in Matt 28.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
sometimes we belittle ourselves when we hear this verses. WAH, i have to baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. we already give up before we even sign up for the mission trip.
my chicken rice conversation on friday with pastor leslie opened my little eyes to how missions is for everyone. i used to think that mission trips are long, exhausting and something not for the faint-hearted. but pastor leslie showed me that mentality was flawed. even going to Kuala Lipis to lead a worship session is considered as an outreach. something simple as dropping by a school to offer the kids love gifts also counts.
let's ponder over this guys. it's worth a thought. let's not keep all of God's blessings to ourselves but let's share it to others who desperately need our help.
