Incredible India

Back here after 2 complete years. Everything is still about the same. Very difficult to talk openly about God to the poeple here. Sometimes even taking out a bible seems like a near threat to my life with all the eyes just popping around you. I felt like this place is like a huge building almost ready to collapse and cave in because of all the spiritual degradation, the selfishness, the meaningless chase and the cry for true help. Morality is not even kept at its right place in society. What you watch on tv paints a very very faint picture of what is really happening in this place.

Today there was a train blast near the North. About 70 poeple died. The hopelessness was clearly seen in their eyes. One day their own physical self is going to blow because the external of the person is not at all macthing the inside. There is a the BIG GAP of sin that is still separting man from God. I feel so helpless and it really hurts as i cry for them in my own mind. Is there something I could do?

Not right now.. But there is hope, God says. Isa 12 and 35. Good stuff if you are looking for God's promise of a revival. Keep it in heart and keep praying it and rejoice for all of God's word will come to pass, Isa 40. So everytime i see the poor and the helpless and the people bounded by their caste system and social infrastructure, i say a prayer of thanks that one day all this will no longer be found. New Heaven, New Earth. Souls, souls, souls!!!

Whose sandals are you?

Many many sandals and shoes around nowadays. There is really no short of brands like Birkenstock, Adidas, Quicksilver, Flash N Splash, and Puma. You name it. Ranging from the really expensive ones to the cheap-o ones. From the really excellent ones that last forever but stink badly like the army sandals, all the way to the ones that you use for only one month.

Some have more than one pair of sandals! The first one is to show off and the other one for bad weather like rain. The fashionable ones cannot get wet or else the color gets drained:( Haha. The bible talks about footwear too. One in Ephesians and one in the gospels. The sandals/shoe of Christ:

Luke 3:16 (New King James Version):
16 John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Luke 3:16 (New Life Version):16 But John said to all of them, "I baptize you with water. There is One coming Who is greater than I. I am not good enough to get down and help Him take off His shoes. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Those sandals must have felt extremely good to be on Christ feet whom even John, declared that he is not even worthy to touch or untie! Imagine, the person whom Jesus declared as the greatest prophet (Luke 7:28) cannot even touch those things that move upon, mingle in and tread on mud and all the not-so-good-to-say grounds! It must have been some privelege to be on Jesus' feet. The great honor!

I was challenged to ask myself whose shoe/sandal I want to be? As a Christian I cannot aspire to be a sandal on someone who will not give me the promise of eternal life. The closer to Jesus the better. If not near His heart then possible near His feet. But even then am I able to be His shoe?If I want God to use me as His sandals, I know my talents and abilities dont count. What counts is my heart; My availability to God and my 100% away from this world and just set apart from Him!!

Then God by His love and grace, will pick me up from the sandals shop, put me through His special factory, put on me the best cushion, the best design and an awesome Energy that is way better than Nike "boing". Yeah!! Sandals for the ONLY ONE!! My surety is in God to the path that He will bring me too:)

Prayer is a compilation of words that make no sense to the flesh
but which God perfectly understands.

Perseverence means to "press on" or "push on" with the same energy, courage and determination as the initial action in order to get results.

O PRecious Rabbits

Why are rabbits one of the most expensive pets to keep?


Because they like to eat carats!! You can never find enough gold and diamonds for them.



Why are rabbits so difficult to find?


Because they are rare-bits.


Jachin's joke:
As we gathered for the usual sunday morning after-gce prayer meet, we started off by talking about the Singapore- Thailand match which was going to be played in the evening. We talked about Tiru(M'sia Team) and his comedian way of "making friends" and then we began to talk about the scores. We were predicting the scores when jachin said:

Jachin: " I think the score will be 1-1 tonight"
Douglas: " Ya, i think so too."
Gerald Ho: "No. I think it will be 1-0 or 2-1 "
Daryl Tan: " You all beginning to prophesy is it?"
Jachin: "No. The score will be either 1-1 or 0-0 or 2-2 because they are going to play in Tie-land!"

All other comments except Jachin's are purely fictional. Any resemblance to any person living or dead is purely coincidential.
