CSI - The Case of the Missing Body

2011-04-20T17:53:00.002+08:00

Just imagine you have been offered $1,000 to spend one night all by yourself in a house that contains a dead body. The house has no telephone and will be locked up – nobody can come in, nobody can go out.

Would you do it?

Let us suppose you take up the offer.

The clock strikes 12 midnight, and you have been in the house six hours already – just six more to go! You go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and in doing so you pass by the place where the body is supposed to be.

Horror of horrors! The body is gone! What would you do? Remember, all contact with the outside world is broken. You are alone in a house with a corpse running loose somewhere!

TAKE THE CHALLENGE AND BE AT BSGC COME 22-23 APRIL FOR A SLEEPOVER AND BE A CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATOR YOURSELF AND SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING BODY….

Starts at 9.30-10pm Registration & Supper. The sleepover is optional. Program for Friday Night should end before 12 Midnight.... before you bump into the corpse.....

3 uncommon Things Every GUY wants in a Girl

2011-03-09T09:04:00.002+08:00

let's be fair...its' the ladies' turn to know... what does a REAL man want in a girl?

1. Devotion

A real man will chase a girl who chases after God and is unwilling to compromise and give in to the world....there's just that difference a devoted godly girl that makes the guy feel and know that if you can show devotion to God, you can be faithful to him.

2. Wisdom

To the contrary, guys do like girls who had the ability to discern and make good decisions, not a smart-alec but a wise girl... (Knowledge = acquiring of facts and information; Wisdom=knows what direction to go with thos facts and information)

3. Encouragement

Learn to build people up, not tear them down. A man needs a woman who believes in him and will be a regular source of strength and encouragement.

Why you should sit in front in church...

2011-03-03T09:03:00.002+08:00

Today I read a story about a young man who died in "church"

I can understand why some young people might not want to go to church. Some speakers or teachers can be long winded or boring...

but look at Acts 20... a young man by the name of Eutychus fell asleep listening to a sermon by the apostle Paul. I am quite sure Paul wasnt a boring speaker but that's only that much a young person or even any adult can take at one go..and Paul, on that night, was talking and talking and preaching and preaching (for he has to go to another place the next day and he has much to say to the brethren in that town) and so young Eutychus fell asleep....

and of all places, Eutychus was sitting at the back of the room and on a window ledge... he fell out the window and down to the streets... and died from the fall. Well, that must have woke up the whole church! Paul went down and raised Eutychus from the dead..and guess what, everyone went back in to the room and Paul continued preaching.... and i bet you Eutychus probably sat right in the front!

Moral of the story - sit in front! and if you have to sleep...don't sit by the window... but IF you really had to sleep and you have to sit by the window, make sure you know who the speaker is and if he can raise people from the dead!

Lazy Lazy Lazy

2011-03-03T08:44:00.003+08:00

Some funny and interesting things the Bible talks about regarding "Lazy people"

Proverbs 19:24 - Lazy People take food in their hand but don't even lift it to their mouth
so i reckon it goes to say that fat people are not lazy people. and the fatter you are, the more hardworking you are!! lol

Proverbs 18: 9 - A lazy person is as bad as someone who destroys things
i think it is more fun destroying things but hey, i haven't seen the police catch someone for being lazy but we have heard of many police cases about destroying public properties...

Proverbs 19:15 - Lazy people sleep soundly but idleness leaves them hungry
one sure remedy of imsomnia - be lazy... but be careful, you might end up putting on weight...

Proverbs 26:16 - Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors.
enough said.... the verse is self explanatory

Proverbs 26:14 - As a door swings back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed
so what if someone just sleeps on its back without turning - not lazy right?

and... finally...

Proverbs 22:13 - The lazy person claims, "There's a lion out there! If i go outside, I might be killed!"
duh!

3 Uncommon Things Every Girl Wants In A Guy

2011-03-03T08:24:00.003+08:00

The author of Ecclesistes says in chapter 7 verse 28:

"though I have searched repeatedly, I have not found what I was looking for. Only one out of a thousand men is virtous, but not one woman!"... guys, if you want to be that 1 in 1000, you can separate yourself from the rest by living up to these 3 uncommon characteristics.

1. A spirit of Desire

whoah!!! before you get all too excited about your raging hormones... what we're talking here is about girls who likes their men to have vision, drive and a desire for life and are willing to work to reach their goals.

Proverbs 21:25 says that the desire of a lazy man kills him!

2. A spirit of Kindness

A girl always likes a guy with the proper etiquette (never mind about how to spell it but practice it) and manners in the way you should treat people...

3. A spirit of Justice

A just person is someone who has learned to distinguish right from wrong and is not afraid to stand up for the truth. Don't back down to the pressure of friends to do wrong or compromise. Have some backbone and be counted!

ps... by the way the author of Ecclesiastes - King Solomon!

excerpts and some parts borrowed from "Every Teenager's little black book on sex and dating" by Blaine Bartel.

Excerpts from the Little Black Book on sex and dating

2011-02-11T10:11:00.002+08:00

Part 1:
THREE Things Dating IS NOT...

Dating IS NOT for those who aren't ready - At what age you asked?? well, many of you may have already started dating or maybe not, but in my opinion, there's no law to the right age to dating but if you can't even take care of yourself, then you're not ready. That doesn't mean you can't have good friendships with the opposite sex; just keep things in a group environment
Dating IS NOT a great way to "really get to know someone" - Why? Because everyone is on best behaviour during a date. If you really want to know someone, watch a person at school every day or both of you get a job together at McDonald's. Eight straight hours of work will tell you the real story!
Dating is not all it's cracked up to be. - Think about 2 person out together who hardly know each other. They're young and have limited social skills. They have to try to create awkward conversation for hours on end. The point is, its usually a whole lot easier to get to know someone among a group of other friends who can help fill those awkward moments, keeping things fun

Dating is not really a biblical word at all (surprise,surprise!!) That doesn't mean its wrong to go out with someone on a "date". But it is important to remember what the Bible has to say about developing romantic friendships. If you begin dating without some clear guidelines and boundaries, you are headed for disaster.

...watch out for part 2: THREE Uncommon things EVERY girl wants in a guy!

Chinese New Year

2011-02-03T00:09:00.002+08:00

Hello! This rabbit is here to wish you a Happy Chinese New Year! =P

The days leading up to Chinese New Year has been filled with rigorous cleaning of our houses for most of us. Many would be too busy cleaning and redecorating. And then on the first few days of Chinese New Year, we will not dare pick up the broom or mop to clean. This is because many Chinese believe that cleaning during the first few days of Chinese New Year would mean sweeping away the fortune for the year ahead. It is believed that what we do on these few first days of the Chinese New Year would affect the rest of the year ahead. Therefore, many rituals and traditions are being upheld to ensure a prosperous year. Many believe that what you do and how you act during these time is important in determining how the rest of your year will go.

In the Bible, Peter also gives us certain rituals and traditions to ensure our Christian life to be spiritually prosperous. Read 1 Peter 2:1-17 and 1 Peter 1:13-25.

In these passages, Peter urges us to live a life of holiness. He calls us to clean up our acts and attitudes which is much like cleaning up our spiritual house. He encourages us to live a life of love and respect.

In chapter 1 verse 23, Peter relates being a Christian to be born again or born anew; like newborn babies. Most newborn babies don't really care much about anything except their food. They crave for milk. And for us Christians, we crave for spiritual milk. Spiritual milk that gives spiritual nourishment that will lead to growth in Christ.

Where can we find this milk? I'm glad you asked. It's in the Bible. To you reading the Bible may seem boring, something you do not look forward to. Maybe this is because you do not know what you need. The only one who knows is Him who gave you life. So, when you read your Bible, look to God and open your heart to Him and whatever it is He wants to tell you. Ask Him to guide you to the passage where He wants to tell you something. Open your ears and just be quiet and listen. Listen to Him.

To grow in Christ is to grow with Christ. To know Him more and more and to want to be like Him. To strengthen your relationship with Him. For only when we are close to Him do we feel the peace that we've come know. Though your heart and flesh may fail. That there is an anchor for your soul and you can say that "It is well."

Are we willing to do a little personal house cleaning to ensure a life full of His peace and prosperity? Do we have that hunger for the God's Word like new born babies craving milk?

A New Year !

2011-01-16T22:13:00.002+08:00

Hello! It's a new year. I know it's a bit late.. but.. better late than never. For this new year.. The grand year of 2011 is going to be a year of hope yet a year of despair; a year of joy yet a year of sorrow; a year of triumph yet a year of defeat.. you get the drift. But the one thing similar.. as the picture implies is.. "We have big plans." I know most of you want to enjoy and make the most of this year ahead. Some of you want to build a pyramid. Others, a little less ambitious, want to get straight A's for your exams. But in everything we do.. Remember where your priorities are. I know it's gonna be a busy year ahead; for ALL of you.. But I do pray and hope that you yourself will know what is right n to use this year and your time wisely. Spend time with your family, friends and most importantly, GOD. Oh, and don't neglect your studies. :p Know for yourself where God lies in your life; whether He is your foundation and cornerstone or just in one of the rooms in your heart and know how to make your relationship with Jesus Christ all the more intimate, closer and essential in your life. In everything, always always yearn and learn to put God first.

I'll just leave you with this:

What is green and bounces around in your garden?

SPRING ONION. :b

5 Steps to Avoid Temptations!

2010-03-28T10:01:00.001+08:00

Temptation is something we all face as Christians, no matter how long we have been following Christ. There are a few practical things, however, that we can do to grow stronger and smarter in our struggle against sin. You can learn how to avoid temptation by practicing these five steps.

Step 1 : Time Required: A Lifetime

Here's How:
Recognize your tendency toward sin.
James 1:14 explains that we are tempted when we become enticed by our own natural desires. The first step toward avoiding temptation, is recognizing our human tendency to be tempted by our own fleshly desires. Temptation is a given, so don't be surprised by it. Rather, expect to be tempted. Be prepared for it.

Step 2 : Run away from the temptation.

I love the New Living Translation of 1 Corinthians 10:13. It says, "But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it."

When you are face to face with temptation, look for the way out that God has promised and then run as fast as you can.

Step 3 : Resist with the Word of truth.

Hebrews 4:12 says God's Word is living and active. Did you know you can carry a weapon that will make your thoughts obey Jesus Christ? If you don't believe me, read 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 One of these weapons is the Word of God.

Though it can be helpful to read God's Word when you're being tempted, sometimes that's not practical. Even better is to practice reading the Word daily, so that eventually you have so much of it inside, you are ready whenever temptation comes. If you are reading through the Bible regularly, you will have the full counsel of God at your disposal.

Step 4 : Refocus with praise.

How often have you been tempted to sin when your heart and mind were fully concentrated on worship to the Lord? Praising God takes your focus off of yourself and puts it on God. You may not be strong enough to resist temptation on your own, but as you focus on God, he will inhabit your praise. He will give you the strength to resist and walk away from the temptation. May I suggest Psalm 147 as a good place to start.

Step 5 : Repent quickly when you fail.

In several places the Bible tells us the best way to resist temptation is to flee from it (1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 Timothy 6:11; 2 Timothy 2:22). Yet still we all fail from time to time. We fail to flee. Notice I didn't say, repent quickly if you fail. Having a more realistic view—knowing that at times you will fail—should help you to repent quickly when you do. It is not the end of the world when you fail, but it is very dangerous to persist in your sin. Going back to James 1, verse 15 explains that sin "when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."

Tips:

Develop a Christian Friendship—Someone to Call When You're Feeling Tempted.

What You Need:
A Bible
A Bible Reading Plan
A Christian Friend

So! Are you ready to fleeeeee from evil? :)

Jesus is the answer.. =D

2010-03-26T17:01:00.001+08:00

When you are facing times of troubles, stress, frustrations and just simply can't do things on your own.. Remember.. God is always there for you. And He is the answer!! :) Just look to Him and surrender your problems, hurts, and everything to Him. :)

Why CHURCH? - Part 2

2010-03-07T10:48:00.001+08:00

(As promised, there you go - Part 2) :D

Excuse: People who go to church are a bunch of hypocrites!
Answer: Churchgoers pretend to be good for a few hours on Sunday morning but they are like everyone else the rest of the week. A common misunderstanding about church is that it should somehow make us better people. As discussed above, it is not the action of going to church, but the encounter with God and others that changes our lives for the better. Most people who go to church do not understand this and thus do not seek to have life changing experiences through worship and church activities.

Christians are humans who believe that Jesus is God and that He has made us acceptable to Himself by paying the penalty for our sins on the cross (Romans 6:23). Therefore, what makes Christians unique is not the outward appearance but what God has done on the inside by changing the soul and mind (2 Corinthians 5:17). Those who sincerely call upon Jesus to save them from their sins experience a spiritual birth that gradually transforms the mind and behavior conforming us to His will (John 1:12; Romans 12:1-2).

Christians can be seen to be hypocrites more easily than someone who does not profess any beliefs because Christian standards are defined in the Bible, whereas personal standards can be changed to fit circumstances or are unknown to others. The bottom line is that all humans are hypocrites because we all fail to consistently live up to any standards of behavior that are defined. The difference is that Jesus forgives the hypocrisy of believers and has sent His Holy Spirit to guide and transform those who know Him as Savior and confess Him as Lord (Romans 10:9-10).

Excuse: Church is unnecessary since private prayer and Bible study can be done without others.
Answer: The Bible says that believers must not keep apart from other believers (Hebrews 10:24-25). It is true that we are influenced and become like the people we associate with. Also, by getting together, common beliefs are affirmed and ways to overcome problems are shared. There are three spiritual pillars to have a strong Christian life: personal prayer, Bible study and fellow believers. To rely on less than all three is like trying to sit on a one or two-legged stool. Three legs are needed for a firm foundation and proper function.

Excuse: Churches impose a bunch of rules and then make you feel guilty if you don't measure up.
Answer: One of the biggest reasons for the breakdown of families is the lack of moral standards. Most people who call themselves Christians cannot even say the Ten Commandments much less live by them. Without moral standards, it is easier to do your own thing and not feel guilty about it. Guilt is part of our conscience and is a gift from God to help us do good.

It is true that sometimes people make us feel guilty. During these times it is important to seek God's view through prayer and reading the Bible. This means it is necessary to be familiar with the Bible enough to discern whether others are making us feel guilty or if God is trying to get our attention. I am convinced that there are many Christians who are doing good works out of guilt rather than because they want to love and serve God.

Lastly, think about yourself. Think about how you've been having the wrong perspective of going to church. At the same time, ask yourself, what have you been going to church for? Just for fun? Or what..?

Why CHURCH? - Part 1

2010-03-04T10:44:00.004+08:00

Hey People. I thought that this topic should be quite interesting for you all, enjoy!

WHY GO TO CHURCH?!

Why Go To Church?

Every Sunday many people go to church while others are sleeping or engaged in other weekend activities. Since our weekends are limited, should we spend part of it in church? Let's look at some of the popular reasons for not going first.

Excuse: Church is boring.
"It is repetitious, predictable and a meaningless ritual. I would rather sleep in. I work hard all week and I deserve it!"
Answer: Church is repetitious but so is life. The days of our lives are structured around cycles of work, eating, family and recreation times. Any of these activities can become boring if we don't strive to find something interesting or enjoyable about them. Sunday mornings at church are a time to make new friends and renew old ones; to learn about the Bible and share problems as well as to thank God for another week of life.

The objective in going to church is to seek to build our relationship with God and others. Many people go to church to fulfill an obligation through some ritual and so are reduced to actions without meaning. Church worship is all about an encounter with God and others that changes who we are. Not going to church on a Sunday morning because you deserve a sleep-in does not explain why you miss church on Saturday or Sunday night. The problem is much deeper than the time of the day - it is a matter of selfishness.

Excuse: Why bother going to church when all they want is money!?
Answer: If you choose to get involved in any kind of group, be it the PTA, Boy Scouts or whatever, it will cost you in time and money. It is true that, if you don't get involved in anything, you will have maximum control of your time and money. However, you will miss friendships and opportunities to be a good influence in the lives of others. Each of us decides where to spend our time and money. Each of us will either invest it in some purpose or waste it on the pleasures of the moment. Jesus said that there is an eternal investment that will not fade, rust or decay when we do good works that show our love for God and others (Matthew 6:19-20).

Ponder this! You do not control your life. You cannot guarantee that you will be alive the next week, day, hour or moment. Human life is a gift from God and He controls the measure of it (Psalm 139:16). Our intelligence, talents and appearance are largely determined by genetics (which is to say by God who made us individually unique). Therefore, who we are, when and where we are born, how long we live, etc., are all gifts from God. Is it unreasonable for God to ask for a portion of it to acknowledge Him and His sovereignty?

*part 2 on the way :)

Are you stressed up?

2010-02-27T12:42:00.000+08:00

STRESS!!!

Question:

How do Christians Deal with Stress?
Before we answer the question, "How do Christians deal with stress?" let's look at how Christians define stress.
Stress tends to visit us when we're tired, when we're sick, when we're driving through a crowded metropolis, when we're late for an important meeting, or if we've taken on too many responsibilities. When circumstances are out of our control, we feel stress. When our basic needs are not being met and our safety is threatened, we tend to get anxious.

Answer:

Stress and anxiety for a Christian can take on many different shapes and forms, yet in general, for most Christians, stress boils down to one idea - lack of trust in God.
Though it is impossible to lump all of Christianity into one common position, most Christians do share the thinking that God is sovereign and in control of our lives. We believe he is the author and composer of our life of faith. We believe he has given us everything we need for life. So, most of the time when stress dominates our lives, somewhere along the way we have failed to trust God.

Though this explanation appears simplistic, it's not meant to imply that a stress-free life in Christ is easy to obtain.

Just trust God more and you'll never deal with stress again! If only it were that easy.

Life is much too complicated, and we are much too vulnerable in our human condition to ever escape the inevitable battles with stress. But for Christians, stress does have a positive side. It can be a reminder that our lives have drifted away from God. It might be an indicator that we have stopped depending upon him daily for strength. Perhaps we have forgotten the many promises in his Word?

Ways that Christians Cope with Stress:

There are many practical disciplines that a Christian can and should exercise to avoid stress. Getting enough rest, a proper diet, regular exercise, and keeping a balance between work, ministry and family time - these are all practical ways the Bible teaches us to regulate stress in our lives. However, from a spiritual standpoint, stress relief for a Christian begins and ends with these three basic disciplines:

• Prayer

Instead of worrying over our problems, further compounding our anxiety and stress, the Bible recommends taking everything to God in prayer. This verse in Philippians offers the comforting promise that as we pray, our minds will be protected by a peace that goes beyond our ability to understand.

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

Hello!

2009-12-23T09:15:00.000+08:00

Yo yo yo people!!

For those of you who missed camp, I'll proudly tell you all that - WE HAD FUN! :D :) :P

Camp was awesome! Many YWAP-ians accepted Christ or rededicated their lives to God. It was amazing seeing our people responding to the altar call, some weeping at their respective places. God was moving in that place, many of us experienced His presence.

Youth camp photos were uploaded. Go visit Ian Chua's profile. There's 4 album to be seen. The pictures are great :P

Moving on! It's Christmas week! We'll be having a carolling + makan session on the 24th ( Thursday) at Lagoon Perdana at 7pm, then to the Ng's residents for more food :P

On the 25th, we'll be having our Christmas service in church at 9am. Then will have open day from 12pm to 3pm. There'll be games, puppet show, magic show and moreeee.. So do spread the word around and bring your friends!!

That's all for this weeeeek :)

God bless!

Things to bring!!!

2009-12-12T17:16:00.003+08:00

Ok, folks as requested by the Elim Youth camp committee...I am posting this up to remind you all what to bring for the camp. Looking at the list (BTW, I am using the exact words that Katan wrote in their EY blog...From TOP to BOTTOM :P)

Slippers, sport shoes ~ It means just that, bring your shoes. You can go barefoot, high heels, sandals, etc.
Toiletries ~ Again it also means what it says. Whatever you need to do your 'business' in the toilet. Bring it. Dental floss, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, night light, whatever your fancy. The camp committee also don't quite care if you brushes your teeth. So if you want, skip four days of brushing...save water...just don't exhale at my face...
Playing Clothes-Dark Colour Extra ~ Well, it also means bring adequate change of clothes for a 4 days 3 nights camp plus additional clothes whereby you are expected to get wet. So some dark colour clothes would be ideal. Again, you can also bring only a set, its a CHO?CE!!!
Bible ~ If you have, bring.
Stationary ~ Pens, pencils, and whatever stuff you all now stuff into your pencil cases.
Medicine (If you are sick) ~ Well, I am guessing here, it will be the medicine that you have to take or you are already on. Example, some of the committee are already on some meds, if she/he don't take those, she/he will go ...shall we say...no normal...wink wink...
My additional stuff ~ Wanted to add this in, bring your common sense (brain). I know it is after the exams, but bring it along just in case. Never know when you might need it...

That's all from KATAN...!! :D

Esther.

He reigns from Heaven above,

With wisdom, power and love,

Our God is an AWESOME God.

Our God is an awesome God, isn't He?

While you are in the midst of your work/studies or even sitting down lazing aroud, why not just stop whatever you are doing for a while and just pray? Dun forget to thank the Lord despite good or bad, happy or sad.

Some prayer items :

Keep the PMR and SPM students in your prayers. Cause now, we're in our midst of trials, JPS, and more exams...

We're starting to get tired after so many paper after paper, well at least I am. So do remember to pray for wisdom and strength from the Lord.

Not forgetting the college & uni students who are sitting for their test/exams as well.

Do remember those in the working world too...

God bless!

Esther.

The Resurrection of Jesus : No doubt about it!!

So yah... Good Friday came and gone.. Jesus died for you and me.. But on Easter Sunday, we celebrated His resurrection.. his what??? His resurrection, meaning Jesus rose from the dead.. or DID HE?

Maybe Jesus didn't really die....

Maybe He merely fainted.... or Maybe they switched him with someone else when Joseph came and helped him carry the cross to the Place of the Skull??

Maybe Jesus died, but His body was stolen??....

Maybe the Disciples, and the ladies went to the wrong tomb.....

Maybe Jesus reappeared as a ghost ??....

Maybe the Disciples and the Ladies were so emotionally depressed that they started to imagine they saw Jesus??

Find the answers to banish these disturbing thoughts this coming Saturday, 4pm...

By the way, "Why is the Resurrection of Jesus so important?"

The Death that makes a Difference

2009-04-13T14:58:00.005+08:00

We can accept that Jesus really died on the cross because:

Jesus' execution was performed by the ruling powers of the day: The Apostle John records that the crucifixion was performed on the hill of Golgotha (also called Calvary) overlooking Jerusalem during the Roman occupation of Israel, during the reign of Tiberius, and on the Day of Preparation, the Friday preceding the Jewish feast of Passover. Note that each of these times, people, and places can be found in other historical documents. (No Once upon a time here)
Jesus' execution was consistent with centuries-old prophecy: John in John 19:31-42 gave an account of Jesus' death that fulfilled the plans of God. John was careful to note that he is a truthful eyewitness and that what was happening to Jesus was the fulfillment of prophecies recorded long time before. Note the significance - Not only did the death of Christ occur at the hands of real people at a specific point in history, the event fulfilled prophecies of which the executioners (ie Romans) were UNAWARE..
Jesus burial was consistent with the custom of the day: John detailed how Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus carefully brought down the body of Christ and took about 75 pound of myrrh and aloes mixture and wrapped the body of Jesus with the spices in strips of linen in accordance to Jewish burial customs AND in a NEW, UNUSED tomb. Such details would not be seen in a myth.

Did a man named Jesus literally die on a Roman cross?

Carry the Cross

2009-04-13T14:41:00.004+08:00

Good Friday

2009-04-12T23:46:00.002+08:00

Good Friday service was held in church at 8pm last Friday.

The theme was One Man..One Journey.. One Destiny..

The young adults were in charge of the whole program. They set up 10 stations - Stations of the Cross.

Station 1 - Last supper

Station 2 - 30 pieces

Station 3 - Gethesemane

Station 4 - Seized

Station 5 - Crucify Him!

Station 6 - King Of The Jews

Station 7 - The Place Of The Skull

Station 8 - Casting Lots

Station 9 - Come Down

Station 10 - The Mother of Jesus

It was a great experience being part of the story of His crucifixion. Pondering and reflecting on His great love and how He suffered for you and I.

Happy Easter!

God bless.

Esther

The death that makes a difference

2009-04-11T00:17:00.002+08:00

The Crucifixion of Christ

In 1977, the first Star Wars episode made its debut in cinemas. Audience gasped in amazement as these first words scrolled across a starry background: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." Those words launched an epic story, spawning 6 episodes..but they also told us that the events that followed were not historical. Myths and fables take place in an undefined place at an undefined time.

Some would try to relegate the Good Friday and Easter Story as myths and fables. However, the story of the crucifixion and the resurrection of Christ is true because of the testimony of history, prophecy and culture.

The death of Jesus changed my life. Is Jesus making a change in your life today?

Come this saturday as we look into the death that makes a difference. We will discuss how to tell whether something is believable or not... we will learn to to defend the reliability of the account of Jesus' death and recognise the ways that Jesus' death changes lives.

4pm... BSGC... come as you are....

20 years on...

2009-04-04T23:49:00.001+08:00

Here are a few photos taken when the youths were sharing about what they wanna be, who they wanna be, and what they THINK they will be in 20 years time.

See all the smiling faces?! Hahaaaa. We had fun :)

Andrew Ng? Heheee..

Michael Fun laughing at ppl :P

What about you? What will you be in 20 years time? Will you still stand strong on your faith? Will you still be attending church? All this, starts from NOW.

Continue skipping church, skipping youth, you'll end up ruining your life. Go figure.

God bless.

Esther
