there're few ques we think during our quiet time.. means like meditate abt God's word..
- Think of someone in ur life u hv problem loving. Name some of the reasons why it's hard for u to love this person?
- This week consciously spend some time praying for the people u find hard to love. May the Lord's love for u melt ur heart.
So.. this is what basically Christians do when they go to church.. we'll first hv praise and worship.. is smth like singin some songs.. then we will listen to bible stories and think abt God's word and pray lo.. and we treat ppl like our brothers and sisters.. ^^ and we also welcome everyone to join us to learn more abt God and knowing how much God loves and cares for us..
When u think there's nobody understands u.. please rmbr.. God cares for u and God is crazy abt u.. u know what? God gave His EVERYTHING.. for us.. for who? for u and i.. sinners.. how much does God love us? we can nvr describe it with words..
''Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
1 samuel 16:7
well.. Human always look at the appearance of somebody.. but what the bible tells us is.. God looks at our HEART.. not appearance.. no matter u think that u're fat or thin, tall or short.. very good or very bad.. GOD loves u.. bcoz His love is unconditional..
How great is our Lord? haha.. ppl always say i can b missionary or pastor liao.. always talk abt Jesus Jesus.. well.. even my primary sch frens.. their memories abt me is all abt God.. wow.. haha.. isn't that cool? when they go to heaven one day.. they said.. hey.. Flora.. thanks ya ^^
The three important things we learnt in this camp is to:
- Act justly
- Love mercy
- Walk humbly
Mark chapter 1
40And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.41And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.42And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.43And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;44And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.45But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
- Well.. Jesus indeed did the three things i've juz mention.. can u imagine? Jesus din run away from a so-called unclean man for his sick.. but Jesus moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean...
I will learn from Jesus to love everyone juz like how we love ourselves.. indeed, it isnt an easy job..
the speaker asked us.. If u will be given 5 things.. what will they be?
well.. for me.. it'll be..
1. God
2. Love
3. Wisdom
4. Family and frens
5. Patience
haha.. some of them said.. they want a husband.. well.. i think i want also.. LOL.. and i want a Godly husband who will hold my hands and pray with me every morning and night.. and will listen to me when i'm down.. and will make me laugh.. and will hug me when i cry.. and i also wanna be the best wife for my husband.. i will make the most delicious meal for him.. and i will make sure he knows i love him the most.. lol.. and i will obey what he says and i will rmbr all the things he has done and i will tell my children.. the best thing in my life is to have ur father.. i can't ask for anything better.. wow.. haha.. God.. do u hear that? rmbr to give me the one u think is good for me ;) i will wait..
God provide our needs but not our greed.. do u agree?
so dun think God is our Xiao Ding Dang..
God will surely give us what we need.. but sometimes.. He has His time.. so we must learn to b patient.. :)
It doesnt mean God doesnt love u anymore when u dun get what u request.. instead.. God has a better thing for u.. but what u need to do is WAIT.. :)
trust and obey.. for there's no other way.. to b happy in Jesus.. but to trust and obey..
^^
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One,

Jesus "Christ" is known as the founder or central figure of "Christianity." Christmas is a Christian holiday on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus. Ancient Romans also commemorated Jesus' birth by marking a division of the calendar still in use today. The years before Jesus' birth are marked as B.C. (Before Christ), and the years after Jesus' birth are marked A.D. (Anno Domini, which means, in the year of our Lord).
Christmas literally means the Mass (celebration) of Christ. "Christ" is a Greek word and title, meaning "anointed" or one set apart by God for a special purpose. "Christ" is equivalent to the Hebrew word "Messiah." Based on the words of ancient prophets, the first century Jewish people expected the arrival of the Messiah promised by God as a great deliver of the people.
Read the Christmas story from an ancient biographer, Luke (Chapter 2).
Luke's biography records how Mary and her husband Joseph left their home in Nazareth to travel to Joseph's ancestral home, Bethlehem, to enroll in the census ordered by the Roman emperor, Augustus. Finding no room in inns in the town, they set up primitive lodgings in a stable. There Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger or stall. Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the home of the house of King David from which Joseph was descended, fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah. This is confirmed to Mary by a visit from angels and shepherds.
Read the Christmas story from an ancient biographer, Matthew (Chapter 1).
Matthew's biography begins by recounting the genealogy and virgin birth of Jesus, and then moves to the coming of the Wise Men from the Orient (likely China) to where Jesus was staying after his birth in Bethlehem. The wise men, or Magi, first arrived in Jerusalem and reported to the king of Judea, Herod the Great, that they had seen a star heralding the birth of a king. Further inquiry led them to Bethlehem of Judea and the location of Mary and Joseph. They presented Jesus with treasures of "gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
In Jesus' adult years, Jesus claimed to be this King, the Jewish Messiah (see: I am the King and Jewish Messiah). Ultimately, Jesus' claim to be Christ caused controversy and the religious trial leading to his execution. Christians commemorate Jesus' execution and believed return from the dead (resurrection) during "Easter."
Jesus also described His birth on earth as the most important "Good News," signifying that God Himself chose to come from heaven to earth to help make earth more like heaven (see: Good News: the Kingdom of God has Come to Earth).
It seemed quite complicated right??
well.. being a thoughtful person.. i hv kindly found this.. read this bah.. LOL..
The true meaning of Christmas is love. John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of this incredible act of love.
The real Christmas story is the story of God's becoming a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ. Why did God do such a thing? Because He loves us! Why was Christmas necessary? Because we needed a Savior! Why does God love us so much? Because He is love itself (1 John 4:8). Why do we celebrate Christmas each year? Out of gratitude for what God did for us, we remember His birth by giving each other gifts, worshipping Him, and being especially conscious of the poor and less fortunate.
The true meaning of Christmas is love. God loved His own and provided a way—the only Way—for us to spend eternity with Him. He gave His only Son to take our punishment for our sins. He paid the price in full, and we are free from condemnation when we accept that free gift of love. "But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
heyhey...
Therefore.. the greatest present during Christmas time aint the present which ur lover gives to u.. but it's the salvation!! It's to receive d greatest gift from God.. if u're willing to accept.. i wanna congrats u.. coz u can spend eternity with God aft u say BYE BYE to this world.. and u will hv joy and peace in ur heart <3>
I had received this present..
what are u waiting for??
An important factor in reaching a decision to accept Jesus Christ and ask Him to forgive you of your sins is reaching a point in your life when you come to understand you are completely incapable of standing in judgment before a perfect, holy, sinless God - something we're told in the Bible each and every one of us will someday have to do.
Because none of us can meet the standards of conduct acceptable to a holy God, the importance of having a relationship with Jesus Christ can not be understated. Why? Because all who die without receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will someday be sentenced to an eternal hell from which there will be no hope of escape or rescue.
Fortunately for all of us, the penalty God required all mankind to pay for living sinful lives in disobedience to His will has already been paid on our behalf, if we will accept it! Jesus Christ came into the world to make atonement for all our sins through His sacrificial death on the cross.
In return for Christ providing us all a way to avoid the judgment all of us are worthy of when our character is compared to that of a holy, sinless God, it is required of us to accept Jesus Christ by faith, believing in His sinless life, His death on the cross on our behalf, and His resurrection from the dead to avoid being sentenced to an eternal hell - a lake of fire prepared for all those who live in rebellion against God.
As Jesus loved us enough to leave the Majesty of Heaven and die a cruel death on the cross on our behalf, none of us should have a problem with any of these issues. If we do, we are not ready to accept Christ as our Savior.
Are you ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior?
To receive the gift of salvation, you must accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by asking Him to forgive you of your sins. When you make this request of Him, it has to be done with a sincerely remorseful heart. It is of no benefit to you to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins unless you're sincerely sorry you are sinning against God's will.
There is no specific way to do it. There is no special prayer you have to say word for word. All it takes is a sincere desire to follow Christ and a request for forgiveness of all your sins.
If you have prayed a prayer of forgiveness and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are now saved and no one can pluck you from His hand. You are a Christian and will inherit eternal life with Christ in Heaven when you die or He returns to this earth to gather His children home.
1st John 1:9: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1st John 4:15: Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
What do I do now that I've accepted Christ?
