For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38~39



Walk with me, lord.
Everyday.
As dreadful as it may be..
still, i can rejoice cuz' You're going thru this with me.
Help me know you are near..

REMEMBER HE WROTE 'PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE'

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,
'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California . In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:

People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort.
God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems.
If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, ''which is my problem, my issues, my pain.'' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her.
It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases. Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the chu rch had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.

================================================
Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better

on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God
was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to
set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I
will judge who does the better job.'




So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.




They moused.




They faxed.




They e-mailed.




They e-mailed with attachments.




They downloaded.




They did spreadsheets!




They wrote reports.




They created labels and cards.




They created charts and graphs.




They did some genealogy reports




They did every job known to man.




Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.




Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed
across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power
went off..




Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known
in the underworld.




Jesus just sighed.




Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their
computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:




'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power
went out!'




Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from
the past two hours of work.




Satan observed this and became irate.




'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he
has all
his work and I don't have any?'




God just shrugged and said,




JESUS SAVES !

I do all i can, with what you've given me
and how much you've given me
to build.

I do it all to the maximum of my ability
and what i know how to.
The rest, i leave it and trust that You will take care.

I pray that Your kingdom and Your Will will be done
in my Life and these whole bunch.
It is Your people and work
that i want to give my life for..
and it pains me if it's NOT according to
Your TRUTHS.
====
I pray that THROUGH that , they will see the value.
They will understand why is it worthy to give EVERYTHING.
And that through my limited seconds,
let them see what has been invested and entrusted-
to understand the burdens and sense of urgencies.
Everything will just increase.
Open up the spiritual eyes and ears-
to understand and receive humbly.
Do what i cannot do.
====
I pray that ALL will MATURE and MULTIPLY.
Experiencing closer relationship with you,
making right n biblical decisions,
willing to lay down life for The Biggest Picture of All..
THE NEXT GEN WILL RISE UP.
With perseverance, hardwork and faith, let every community
see STRONG&BIBLICAL community life.

Let all anxieties and weariness be at your feet.
I trust in You bcuz You are God.
You are in charge and You know best.
I know Your time is right.
Assure and Still me.

I want to hear You,
be led by You,
love You..and so much more.

I thank you so much for that divine opportunity..
that all receive something that only You can give.
Thank You for Your favour in my life, Jesus.
I can see it through all the incidents of my life.
As i cont' to walk with you, help me for i know you're guiding me
step by step.

I'm grateful to everything..


Where you lead, i'll follow.

Your Will be done, not mine.

just love it.

Looking forward to the next phase of life.
You ARE Always with ME!
Jesus!!

Let's do this together.

CA40
CG08

Let's make it happen.
We can do this with Christ.

2Cor4:16-18(MSG)
16-18So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.



Thank You Lord for placing your treasures
into our lifes-People.
You know us best.

thoughts:

Your decision shows what we value.

Many times, our response to situations
shows what we value and shows
the depth of our maturity.

"Feelings above truth"
can be dangerous.

It leads to many downfalls,depressions,suicidal attempts,etc..

That's when the self-centred(ness) is involved..

When we focus on ourselves too much..
it makes life really hard.
There'll be so much of insecurity and pride.

However, as christians, we have
Jesus-the best counselor.

As much as we love ourselves,
the bible encourages us this.
John 13:34-35(msg)
34-35"Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other."

..Being others-centred and living for People.

Our security is in Him!
His impression and value of us never changes.
===============

Check out this flash animation
..really aawesome.









So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

Oh, have u ever been to a 40 storey HDB flat?

(psst! CA40!! woo!
let's infiltrate the whole 40th storey when we hit it! )


haha..
take a good look man..





It is really scary..
haha so high up..
but its really cooling.
Just love the breezzee~




thanks sheep for bringing me to the 40th storey..
..to jump down..
haha kidding!

Yup, appreciate it! ^^


Can you see the quote?
"Part of the leadership package is facing criticism. Stand in front of people, and they will find fault."

I find it so true.
Leadership puts u in the front line and people will
criticise at times..

We cannot afford to become so sensitive to criticism that overwhelms us.

Just like Abraham..
Smith Wrigglesworth said "Great faith comes from great trials."

This comes from the book "YOU THE LEADER"
It's really Good.

Do read it!

You will surely be empowered in your leadership
and MATURE alot more.
It shapes the mindset of every christian leader. ^^


What a long day today!
yet, fulfilling~
Thank you Lord.

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

None of this fazes us
because Jesus loves us
I'm absolutely convinced that nothing
nothing living or dead
angelic or demonic
today or tomorrow
high or low
thinkable or unthinkable
absolutely nothing can get between us

and God's love because of the way
that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
