rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Busy week, now waiting for Dad to come fetch me from work, so... will post this...
The works and Benefits of fellowshipping.
Long time since i went to chinese service,
But i will like to share one thing i thought is really precious in the lesson i learn from Pr Chua Sermon.
-Hebrews 10-19-2519Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.-We cannot stop gatherine because it is the body of Christ, through His sacrificial.
-It is not easy to be together with God, It's because He shed His bled:
And what does that means:
1) We can get salvation directly ( not like last time they gotta sacrifice animals)
2) We can pray to God directly (not like last time, only the priest can talk to God)
3) We share the Body of Christ ( We are one because of the blood shed)
In Eph 4:4-12
4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called—5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." 9(What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? 10He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up1) Church life is He Er Wei Yi- which means all but one.-Everyone has their part. Little or big they are a part.
-How can we not stable to build the church (V11-12)
--Eveyone is given a rolebe it they want it or not, but this took place when they believed. Even if they don't think they are a part, but this is just the fact
-When people gather, it's commitment at that time, so as to be able to build the church in all different areas.
--) I thought many times we gather to satisfy our own needs, wanting to be revived or what. But often we missed out the fact that it is not all abt us, it is abt others as well.
Matthew 18: 19-20
19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."From Matt: 18: 15 onward, it is talking about solving problems in a gathering, and that we should do out part.This verse is the end off, It is the blood of Jesus that we gather and blood represent life,
Hence we ought to let the life flows....
