Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Or, have you heard about the 100K? Tagline, witty, but a way to strike a conversation with anyone.
Was @ churchwide prayer meeting, the biggest in the history of FCBC, according to Pastor Khong, about 2,500 FCBCians answered the call, committed to pray for the campaign. Out of that, 4 from HSF. It's not about the numbers, though it's somehow everything about it, but I know that God is ultimately concerned about the heart of the people.
In the end, I went, part of history making, I see it. Some of the adult networks had already started their campaign, and yes, testimonies were shared. I was very impressed and amazed at what they shared, in fact, if you were there, you'll be greatly encouraged too. It's not about the church-driven campaign, nor is it about "if you want to attend Ed Silvoso's seminar, you have to be in the 100K" kinda thing.
It really talks about the condition of our own heart too, talking about being a blessing to the people around us, like what Shirley always says, talk is cheap. I'll take it from Nike "Just Do it!" It has to be a way of life, or rather THE way of life. Let's bless!

Well, I can see that this blog needs revival. So I am going to add a new post today.
I was kinda fascinated by Pastor Khong's preaching on last sunday and he preached about making a difference. Well, he used Noah as an example and he was the ONLY one to be favoured in God's eyes in those times.
And he made an ark to save his family and the animals. Just as God had commanded him to do. So, 1st I want to say that you can make a difference in your family. Even though you are the ONLY christian in the family, the WHOLE family will be blessed, just like how God blessed Noah's family, because he was the ONLY one who was favoured. Not even his wife, his parents, his children were favoured. But the whole family was saved and blessed because of this one man was favoured.
Next, you can make a difference in your future generations. When you are in favour with God, he will mark your family with the covenant that was made with you and Jesus Christ.
In Hebrews 12:2, Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
You have to be daring to stand out in the crowd. Walking with God is the difference between you and the others. God makes the difference, but only if you choose to or not. The choice is yours. Being saved costs us nothing, being a disciple costs us everything.
You also have to be daring to do something for the 1st time. Have you ever remembered doing something for the 1st time? I remember my 1st time blogging was actually at my bro's place, and he thought me to blog. And look at me now, I got 2 blogs now. It's the 1st step that makes the difference. Some people might look to you and laugh because the 1st time does not guarantee success. But failure is still good. It's the 1st time, everyone makes mistakes. But the 1st time spurs you to go for it for a 2nd time. Yeah.
Lastly, you have to determine to look at the rainbow. For those who didn't know, the rainbow is a sign of the covenant made by Noah and God.
Genesis 9:8-17
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."
17 So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth."
However, our new covenant is with Jesus. The cross is what we look to that reminds us of the death and resurrection and our salvation. Thank God for the cross.
Jason.
