it is quite sad, that all we like to do is to complicate things where things should not be complicated, and to simplify things which are not supposed to be simplified. where things are supposed to be taken with awe, we shldn't act in a disenchanted fashion. love, nature, life, faith, marriage, compassion, beauty, and even God. instead, we have wasted time on building our ego, adorning ourselves externally, and attracting attention to something which is not God.
Romans 1:20-23 "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things."

about 1 wk before i fly. thank God for his faithfulness so far. seeing too many things over the past half yr. from the painful and unhappy and i walked into the valley of the shadow of death (Ps 23:4), but now wad i see is much revival and much lesson on the 2 great commandments (Matt 22:37-40). same situation the whole time - back urself up wif the Word of God, and let the Holy Spirit lead, and seek first the kingdom of God. those who know me will know, last time kns self-seeking, holier-than-thou, sibei zhuai. now everyone says a different thing, i leave it to whoever who sees to judge for urself. i not important. He must increase i must decrease (John 3:30)
to ppl who are gonna stay in s'pore, alot of my friends tell me this yr jubilee yr for s'pore, and there is collective vision rgding s'pore becoming antioch of asia. pray that God will move in u, and on ur part, be willing to let God move in u. be a Jesus! remember the great commission, yet dun forget the great commandments too. that is how Jesus was so effective.
u see in s'pore, we seem so good, but actually we are as dead as Sardis. so "strengthen what remains", and i believe we will get somewhere cos God knows our hearts. the harvest is plenty, but the labourers are not keeping up wif the supply of harvest. go all out guys, and sustain the fire even after the jubilee. we will see what God wants to do. i sense that God is coming quickly. let's live by the word continually.
see in my church, i was thinking all is bad. but while that is happening, i thank God for a deaconness in my life who told me, go and talk to more ppl than just sit in my well and look at the sky, thinking that all is going wrong in the church. so out there i went in my church, asking aunties and uncles what they thought. all of them, i see love, i see love of God. and from there on, i started to love ppl in my church even more. eventually now, i smell an awakening, and that continued into my church small little chinese congregation (God added 10 ppl to our 30+ regulars) and then now the younger peeps around my age oso start to see God's work too. focus on God, not ppl. please. and continue, i m sure God will show sth. so remember this:
Rev 3:1-6 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
