Our beloved Pastors

Hey!

I hope all of you are not too stressed with the exams coming so close. Come to think of it, this statement only applies to only some of us. hahahaha. Either way, "God is faithful, He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will provide a way out so that you can stand up under it" - 1 Corinthias 10:13

Proclaim it!

Ok, that was the side note. I was just looking through last week's service bulletin and I highlighted a column titled "Nation Transformation Conference 09". 4 of our church members would be going to that conference, namely Pastor Patrick and Pastor Joyce, Crystal (Community service ministry head) and Boon Wai (the only other church office staff =P). Lets keep these key members of our church in prayer: Safety in travels, health and the precious information that they intend to bring back to share - the nuggets. Also, pray for protection from spiritual attacks because the higher you are in influence and in your walk with God, the more the enemy would want to 'take you down'!

We can do this!

I was just thinking about the fruits of the spirit: (Gal 5:22)
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control

The last fruit stuck me the most since I'm suppose to be studying now! lol! But that's ok...I'm de-stressing now (and encouraging others) and later, I would be disciplined enough to concentrate 101% when I do hit my notes again!

Anyway, if you feel like I do, just remember that as we are Christians, we have the holy spirit living in us. With the holy spirit living in us, we WILL have the fruits of the spirit. If you read on in the bible it says, "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires". How wonderful is that?!?!?! Any sinful desire including the so called I-can't-help-myself-but-watch-tv or something along those lines, it has no mastery on us!

So, where would you like to be - empowered by the holy spirit to do what we need to do or to do our hearts desires (which often times can be detrimental)?

Have a blessed time studying/working (in the case of Isabella)!!!

FRIDAY BBQ and other important information !!!!!!!!!!!

Hey lovely cellies,

Mechanism of action of penicillin (beta-lactams) is to inhibit bacteria peptidoglycan cell wall synthesis. This occurs via inhibition of the transpeptidase enzyme (penicillin binding proteins) and the glutamine complex on a peptidoglycan strand cannot cross link with the d-alanine on the adjacent peptidoglycan strand.

*My blood pressure increased when Im memorizing these facts for exams that are coming up soon*

How you guys coping ? I hope its all good, as u know, studying is really a privellage given from God and there's many kids out there who cant even get food, let alone study. But study stress still exist hey, therefore we need to DE-STRESS !!!! HOW ?! Lets have a cell outing this FRIDAY (6/11/09).

We've decided that we're gonna have a BBQ at Millpoint (5.15 pm start picking up people and start BBQ before 6 pm). We're gonna EAT EAT EAT and enjoy the fellowship and also play games along the way. No word of God for this week though. Everybody say: "AWWWWW =(". But yeah, we should study our word of God EVERYDAY isnt it ? hahaha...

Moreover, Justin and Bobby are required to bring their Guitars and we'll be having a FREE WORSHIP session as well. (Jon Loh and Jessie will be bringing their respective ones too).

All right, lastly, we're on WELCOME TEAM for this Sunday's afternoon service. Let us all look forward for such a great opportunity to Serve the Lord in Heaven. Dress code = Hoodie. Wear your hoodies this SUNDAY and let us practice Servant"HOOD".

Hugz,
Er Win Lee

Take my Son‏...

Take a moment to read it; the ending will surprise you.



Take my Son

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.



When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.




About a month later, just before Christmas,


there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.


He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'



The father
opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'





The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.




The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.




On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'


There was silence.


Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'


Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the Real Bids!'


But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'



Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the long-time gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting..' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.



'We have $10, who will bid $20?'


'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'




The crowd was becoming angry.. They didn't want the picture of the son.





They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.




The auctioneer pounded the gavel. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'




A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'




The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'




'What about the paintings?'




'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.




The man who took the son gets everything!'



God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The son, the son, who'll take the son?'




Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.




FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE

A Beautiful Story

This is another beautiful story that I received through an email:

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'


The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'

Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'

The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son.. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.


The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, ' Mom , I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom .' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.

The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.

She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.


It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:

'Dear20Mom ,

I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom , even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.

Don't be s ad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me t o gi ve you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom , no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.


Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?


Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

Hope u enjoyed the story!!
