good friday was awesome :D
Pastor preached a very thought-provoking sermon! as how my gp tchr would put it, AT FIRST GLANCE, the sermon would have been offensive. HOWEVER, ON FURTHER REFLECTION, it was truly thought-provoking, different! Just the sermon title itself caught me off guard. i mean who will be expecting to hear a pastor talk about 7 things i hate about christianity, in a church, on easter? But everything pastor said was just so real, so applicable, so easy to relate to.
And that's what i believe evangelism is about. More than spreading the truth, it's about making the Bible and God real in our lives, that through our lives people can see that God is indeed real and then want to find out more. And i believe that this is surely better than shoving the Bible down people's throats. I, even as a Christian, hate that about Christians. Be Christ-like, people. Don't repeat what the Pharisees have clearly done wrong.
i can't wait for the rest of the series!
CONGRATS PAM, MEGAN AND LAUREN ISABELLE CHANG YEN-MING (i just had to do it)!
we witnessed their water baptism today (and 66 other baptism candidates too). i can't wait for my turn to come! but i really dream that when i get water baptised, it'll be the same day that my parents get water baptised. How cool is that man! Seeing Elgin and Auntie Jennifer get baptised together on the same day.. Yeah, that's what i dream about.
anyway, i just want to say that i REALLY REALLY REALLY love Charmaine Lim :D
she's just so amazing and i love her to bits. i'm praying with her about tmr, can't wait to see her tmr and i can't wait to mug together with her on tuesday.
i can't wait for another AWESOME service tomorrow!
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY :D
