today is the first friends' nitex that i went to since after 2nd semester started...
this friends' nitex is the special that i ever joined before...
it is not like normal service...
so...let me start how was it going on...
pit ling, yeow and me quite shock when we stepped into church...
because a lots of people keep on shouting there is late comers,late comers
then we are being called to stand in front and join in the ice-breaker
so called egg,small chicken and big chicken....
it is same as the ice breaker that i been played in previous higher ground...
then,the last 4 persons who lose will present something in front of everyone...
unfortunately,i lose in this game...
and 4 of us included are being called to sing a song -'two tigers'...
after that pastor preach a good sermon for this time...
yeap...
all of us should not chase for the things that can be shaken because it is dangerous...
we should chase something that will not shaken..
like God's Word
it is stated in Hebrew...
for example,we will not build house on the sand because it will not stand firm...
besides,we should not run for materialist's things...
people who chase for materialist's things will not have their own characteristic anymore...
then after sermon,we divided into five groups and start our games again...
why we divided into five groups??
it is because there is five things we,as a christian should do that
there is evangelism,worship,discipleship,fellowships and ministry...
i joined discipleship group...
and playing this games make me more understand what we should as a christian..
although we did not win in this games
but all of us still are the winning in God's kingdom...

this few days i quite confused with something..
in my eye sight,i can consider it as correct things but how about in other people's eye sight??
those leaders and my mum keep on calling me and told me that it is wrong
but is it really wrong or because they afraid something bad will happen???
i really do not know...
i think the better way is to ask God..
but why this few days i feel i am going far apart from God...
maybe for some peoples they will only seek for God when they need help
but i think seek for God all the time is important..
it is not necessary must only seek for God when we need it..
i know all of us need Him all the time no matter where we are and when....
because when you are tired,
you can rest your soul,your mind and your body in His embrace..

SiNcErItY
message on 14Th of September
sincerity
in Roman 12:9 state that "love must be sincere.hate what is evil and cling to what is good."
why do we called sincerity a virtue of transparency?
the word sincere comes from 2 Latin words 'sine'-without and 'cera'-without wax.
sincerity is what we see is what we get.
we live in a society where sincerity is as rare as Michelangelo's masterpiece.Everything seems to be "waxed" vitamins that make human young.second hand cars advertised as good as new.
what is hypocrisy?
Hypocrisy is the opposite of sincerity.The Greek word means putting on a mask,a stage actor,a pretender.these is what a hypocrisy is like.On the outside he may appear very nice,holy,self-righteous and others.Look beautiful outside but inside full of unclean things.
what is the main root problem of hypocrisy?
why cant we be fully sincere??
the first step toward sincerity is to recognize and acknowledge our weakness and to turn away from them.
the second problem of insincerity is the heart.only our own heart know whether we are sincere or not.if you yourselves do not know then who can understand it??
the third root problem is our love must be sincere.Why is love such an important factor in sincerity?because once you love in your heart then you will treat everyone sincerely.
To know whether you yourselves sincere or not...ask yourselves the questions that state below
a)are we the come with the person on the outside as we are only the inside?
b)do we judge or critics others??
c)is our heart for spiritual things :pure or impure??
start from now treat people with sincere heart then you will be bless....

message on 28th of September
discernment
Discernment is the ability to distinguish between what is good and what is evil in order to make wise decision..
today,many people in the world have no sense of discernment at all.
In fact,they demonstrate the opposite of discernment.
everyday newspaper show the people that being cheated of large sums of money,broken hearts and so on..
the bookshops that are supposed to disseminate knowledge..
"of making many books there is no end,and much study wearies the body"
"you cannot imagine how great is people's foolishness,they have no sense of discernment,having lost it by hoping themselves and putting their trust in their own knowledge"
there are 3 basic questions that we needed to ask ourselves..
1.Have you discerned that knowledge of the bible is essential for spiritual grown?
A discernment heart is a learning heart.A discerning heart needs knowledge.A discerning heart acquires all the knowledge through experience,observation and reasoning added by the Holy Spirit to come to a wise decision.We cannot develop discernment without adequate knowledge of what the bible teaches.We cannot defeat lie unless we know the truth.
2.Have you discerned the difference between 'discernment' and 'judgement'?
"Thou shall not judge for in the same way you judge others,you will be judged".Some of us afraid to speak out even we know something is really or correct.
So,there are the differences between discernment and judgement.
a)discerns :sees or acknowledge own fault
judge :overlooks own fault
b)discerns :check out all the facts
judge :jumps into conclusions and look for evidence
c)discerns :deals privately
judge :spread the news publicly
3.Have you discerned that the gift of Discernment si also a gift of the Holy spirit to the body of
Christ-the Church?
discernment is also a gift of Holy Spirit to distinguish between what is good and bad..
Discernment is developed through knowledge ,interaction and experiences.
