"Are you a mad and crazy scientist?"
Yes I am on my way to be a scientist. Am I mad and crazy? Well, you've got to have that certain degree of craziness to believe that prayer defies all laws of science, nature and human logic.
Went down to Citylife Knox today and it was a real eye-opener for me. To be part of a 'mega-church' congregation... well to me, anything larger than 1000 is considered mega for me, and it really is a stark contrast to the churches I usually attend.
Learn. That was the first thing that was placed in my heart once I stepped into the congregation. I don't know whether its really true or not, but I just felt that citylife knox was really a church rooted in the community. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
On the day before, I was talking to my cell group leader about finding and settling down in a church. It's interesting to hear people's take about their reasons for being in a certain church, or their criteria in finding one. A loving community, strong in the word, a united vision, a church that is passionate about reaching out and spreading the gospel etc etc.
What about the churches that are not doing so well? What if God sends you back to one of them? What if God places you there so that He could use you to change that place? I always and will always consider GBC my home church and it definitely has a special place in my heart. I believe it was all part of God's providence that I stayed at GBC, and even for a few weeks, I still believe that He can use me, even just to the youths. Revival? We gotta have faith and start believing that revival will come, and it will come.
Even now, despite having the trifactor (No M, no A, no Flight), I believe thatGod will make a way for me back this coming week.
The Reason for the Season: The servant king
Sometimes I can just only stand in awe when I hear the story of Christmas again. This time around, the thing that really sticks out in my heart is the humility of Christ, 'who did not consider equality with God something to be grasped....' The Son of God, who is one with the Lord of Hosts, whom the angels sing and bow down to, came in the form a little helpless babe, born in a manger, delivered by a virgin Mary. His ways are truly higher than ours, and sometimes I really just sit there and listen in awe, just knowing that the Son of God went through so much just for you and I.
A purpose and meaning in life. Dreams that I dont dare to dream anymore. I dont know how it is with every guy, but something that I just secretly desire is to be able to fight for something/someone I love. Ironically, despite of me really not liking physical fighting and wars, there really is war we cannot see out there and God has chosen me to be the PS. Yeah His sense of humour is still there.
Madness. To believe in miracles once again. Follow me as I follow Christ....
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power
