Romans 2:13
"For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight,but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous."
It is also,not the listenin of sermon which make a person righteous.It is the practice of the law of God taught in a sermon that makes a person righteous.
so a question for today: have u practice what has been taught is sermon? well,certainly no one can be perfect(except God),not everyone can absorb as much knowledge as smarter ppl can do.but everyone has a heart.With a sincere heart,be the best of yourself as a God's child. ;) .
ps:if i've posted anything wrong/misleading.do guide me.thks.
God bless...TS1.
With Love,

Who told you that?
Saw this blog post and wanted to share it with you guys, Enjoy:
I’m pleasantly surprise at the amount of lies I/people believe in. After the fall, Adam began to explain to God how he was ashamed and afraid because he was naked.
I love the way God responded: “Who told you that you were naked?” Genesis 3:11
Obviously Adam had been influenced, informed and instructed by a voice other than the voice of God. God was perturbed about it! “You think you need to hide in shame and be afraid? Who told you that?”
I wonder how many times God has the same objection when He hears the lies we believe:
Who told you that?
Who told you weren’t capable?
Who told you one little compromise wouldn’t hurt?
Who told you you’d never accomplish anything significant?
Who told you it was too late to start over?
Who told you that you couldn’t be forgiven?
Who told you that you had to settle for that?
Who told you you’d never gain victory over that sin pattern?
So many voices compete to create a cacophony of confusion concerning the things we believe about ourselves. God’s voice resonates with clarity, wisdom, and vision. Who misled you? Who talked you out of your dream? Who convinced you that you didn’t measure up?

the importance of accountability
it really awesome that God placed me in this Group! i believe even when circumstance changes, one thing that stay is our relationship with God. I believe God is testing me in this area! This blog allow us to share our tots and learning, i will try to blog often okay!
i want to share this article about the importance of accountability! I agreed with what meihua shared during last prayer meet, we are not fighting against our leaders or shepherd! Thus, lets make accountability a character and an element of spirit of excellence. AMEN!
"What does the Bible say on the importance of accountability?"
Answer: With much temptation already in the world today, Satan is working overtime to create even more. We must have a brother or sister we can count on when we are facing temptations that threaten our spiritual lives. King David was alone the evening he was tempted into adultery by Satan. It may have appeared to be Bathsheba who tempted him (2 Samuel 11), but the Bible tells us we fight a war not of flesh but of the spirit, against powers and spiritual forces who threaten us (Ephesians 6:12).
Knowing we are in a battle against the forces of darkness, we should want as much help as we can gather around us. In Ephesians, Paul tells us that we must be equipped with all the power that God supplies to fight this battle. “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand” (Ephesians 6:13). Paul realized that even if we equip ourselves with everything God has to offer in defense of evil, we are still human and we may not always be able to resist Satan’s temptations. We know without a doubt that temptation will come.
Satan knows our weaknesses, and he knows when we are vulnerable. He knows when a married couple is fighting and perhaps feeling that someone else might understand them better. He knows when a child has been punished by his parents and might be feeling spiteful. He knows when things are not going well at work and knows how that reminds us of the bar that is on the way home. Where do we find help if we have done all we can do to fight the battle? We want to do what is right in the sight of God, yet we are weak. What do we do?
Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend's countenance.” A friend’s countenance is a look or expression of encouragement or moral support. When is the last time you had a friend call you just to ask how you were doing? When is the last time you called a friend and asked her if she needed to talk? Encouragement and moral support from a friend are sometimes the missing ingredients in fighting the battle against Satan.
The writer of Hebrews summed it up when he said, “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching…” (Hebrews 10:24-25). Accountability is crucially important in the battle to overcome sin. An accountability partner can be there to encourage you, to rebuke you, to teach you, to rejoice with you, and to weep with you. Every Christian should have an accountability partner with whom he or she can pray, talk, confide, and confess.

Welcome!

Bye bye Meiyi/Kiwi Welcome Avril/Titus
On 11th July 2010, Meiyi and Kiwi have pledge their obedience to God by going to water baptism~~!!!
Hooray~~!!! Btw water baptism is not about going into the water and refresh yourself by the cooling sensation of the water so~~
Why water baptism you ask? Basically
1) To show obedience towards Jesus – Matt 28:19-20
2) Proclaim our faith and to Jesus before men – Matt 10:32-33
3) Symbolises the burial of our old self (sinful) and to proclaim Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection - Rom 6:1-4
I really believe that blessings from God will come when we choose to obey and follow his ways. so Kiwi and Meiyi continue to obey and have a close relationship with him so that His plans for you can unfold. Plans to prosper and not to harm you. =D
For the rest of us also take this time to remember ours and reaffirm our obedience in him which bring forth life to the fullest. WOooo~~!!!
Rejoicing as a family of Christ~~~~
Btw pictures coming up soon =D
Avril and Titus thank God for your obedience.. Looking forward to see how God is going to use the both of you greatly =D
