Here's a small note :

Most of our church youth have gone/are going to go to RBS..

Well, here's the official forum site : http://forum.rbs.org.my/viewforum.php?f=1

You can :

1) Keep up with your RBS buddies if you have attended RBS in whatever year.
2) Ask pertinent questions about anything you want to know about RBS. Seniors can answer. Or else, you can just learn from experience yourself... Jkjk... Ahaha.

Note to all blog readers :

The bulletin on the right-hand which tells the dates, time and venue for various events that we'll be having will be updated... Almost as soon as we plan them, which means when I or somebody else gets home and on-9 to post it up.

So keep checking back for events, kay!!!

Carolling at Pyramid

Make up!!! Ladies being prepared by xin xin and su yin before carolling.

back row l-r: wei lyn, jerry, wei shern , amanda

middle row l-r: nyuet fen, ee may, melody, josiah

front: jonathan

not in the pic: joshua, xin xin, kwo kuang, su yin, nadia, kym, brian, sean, mervyn, michael, lydia.

Twas a good experience indeed being given the opportunity to sing and praise God publicly in Pyramid. However, it was kinda let down for most of us as 4 out of 5 places we sang were filled with barely 10 people each. Nonetheless, it was uplifting for some of us as we sang spontaneously to passer-bys who wanted to hear more ( second pic) while waiting for the others to get their cars. Ironically, that "un-planned" singing attracted more people who were earnestly eager to hear. So that's kinda it, not forgetting presenting in front of 45 gorgeous ladies from all over the world, competing for the Miss Tourism title. No pictures taken with them tho, sad case.

Note to carollers :

Practice @ Mervyn's house @ 2.00pm later today, thanks.

To keep in prayer :

1. The non-Christians who came for our Youth Rally 2008; pray that the seeds have been sown and keep reaching out to them!!!
2. Pray for the GKEC thing... KGH has/is starting a Sunday School in Setia Alam - pray for the teachers, and potential Sunday School kids, that their parents would let them come.

It's CHRISTMAStime!!!

Christmas is coming!!!

What do we envision when we hear the word Christmas?

Do we think about gaily-wrapped gifts, christmas trees, Santa Claus, family gatherings, candy canes, Christmas carols, candle light?

Holly? Christmas dinners? Christmas-oriented church meetings?

To some of us, these are the things that come part-and-parcel with the whole Christmas celebration.

Enjoyable parts which we look forward to every year.

But, dear blog-readers, even as we celebrate this festive season with all it's enjoyable trimmings, let's not forget what we're actually celebrating :

Jesus' Birthday!!!

And not only that, but also the fufilment of the prophesies which foretold the coming of the Messiah to this world to take away our sins!!!

So let's not all get caught up so much in this celebration till' we forget, kay?

=)

Christmas Rally!!!

KGH youth had an awesome time last night at our youth rally.

Message, by Uncle Gim Lam(is that the correct spelling?)




I don't have the exact count for the number of people who accepted Christ that day, if any did at all, but take heart, the seeds have been sown!!!



Good job, people!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT

19th July 2008, Saturday, 1600 hours

Uncle Seong Eng will be speaking on the subject, "Debunking the theory of evolution".
come come come come come come yahhhh

James 4:17

Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

Sounds simple right? But try obeying it on a daily basis. You have to admit, sometimes things does'nt just turn out what we want them to be. After a long day, when you're tired and all you can think of is your bed, tv and computer. What will you do when your mom or dad suddenly steps into your room and asks that you go do the dishes? Increasing the volume of your radio wont help, ignoring your parents wont get you out of this as you have already made eye contact with them, and your brother or sister is out. You know you must obey your parents, but you're tired. You deserve a rest after a whole day at school and tuition. But your parents deserve that as much as you do to, they worked all day for you. What then will you do? I for one, struggle with this everyday.

I believe being a Christian demands the best of us all. Even washing the dishes counts. Its called honoring your father and mother. And to achieve great things for God, we first need to start small. So, 'anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.'

I pray that this verse will awake all of us from our slumber, to realize that the devil is really out there doing his best to bring us down. Start a fresh then, as this week begins, with me, with each other, constantly remembering each other in prayer too.

'Words' from Down Below...

Hi all,

Missed me?Haha. I certainly have. Missing you guys and gals i mean. Not missing myself. * grins *

Anyways, I was asked to write something down for KGH YF's Blog so here i am. I was praying and asking God, what was it that He wants me to share with my family back home and well. . . i'm going to share from my heart.

In my conversations with you guys back in Klang, I always ask, how's things at YF? The answer i get, "same old same old." I must confess, i get pretty discouraged when i hear that. Not because that it's the same answer but because, it seems that each one of you are comfortable where you are. You stay at home, go to school/college/uni/work come back, Saturday comes, you go for YF, Sunday comes, you go to church. Then you make comments about people who can't wake up for Sunday morning worship. Is this what God has called you to? A life of going through the motions and gossiping and bickering about others? John 10:10 ...I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Numbers 16:41-50
Complaints of the people -

41 On the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, saying, "You have killed the people of the LORD." 42 Now it happened, when the congregation had gathered against Moses and Aaron, that they turned toward the tabernacle of meeting; and suddenly the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. 43 Then Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of meeting. 44 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 45 "Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
And they fell on their faces.
46 So Moses said to Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense on it, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD. The plague has begun." 47Then Aaron took it as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and already the plague had begun among the people. So he put in the incense and made atonement for the people. 48 And he stood between the dead and the living; so the plague was stopped. 49 Now those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died in the Korah incident. 50 So Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, for the plague had stopped.


In my commentary of this passage, it says that, 'it was the intervention of Moses and Aaron for the entire nation that saved them from destruction because of their opposition to God.' God did not pour out His wrath because someone interceded. Are you interceding for the people around you? I hope you realised the power of prayer. You can make a difference in whether the person you sit next to in the bus or school goes to heaven or hell. If that is not power, i dont know what is.

Everytime Moses and Aaron 'fell on their face before the tabernacle', 'God's glory came upon them. Hebrews 11:6 ..anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Do you have a sense of expectancy when you come before God? Hebrews says that we must BELIEVE. Do you really sincerely believe from the bottom of your heart? i am reminded of the guy in Mark who cried out, Oh Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. (Mark 9:24) When Moses and Aaron 'fell on ttheir face before tabernacle', the Glory of God came upon them. The Glory of GOD!!!!!!!!! (cf Numbers).

Seek God. Seek Him earnestly. GREAT things will happen. I have prayer groups across the campuses in my University and it's just so amazing to see God changing lives and to see HIM MOVING!!!!!!!!! Just recently, a gnostic club was putting up posters around the campus advertising itself as a newly started club. Go google them up if you dont know what they are. When I saw the poster, I was so 'burdened' and 'grieved' that we just could not stop praying asking God to cleanse the campuses again with His blood. The following day when I went to Uni, all the posters were gone and i haven't heard about them since.

Basically what I am getting is how are you living in the light of the His Salvation for You and also His coming again. Isaiah 62:6 talks about a watchman. Look at the times today, are you being a watchman? It's obvious that we are living in the End times.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, please do not put off the importance of prayer, evangelism, doing quiet time, praising God, loving God, loving His people, thanking Him, worshipping Him... Jesus. period. One of the main things that i have been struggling with here in Australia is being lazy. We are a pampered lot, i must confess that. Let's move out of our comfort zone and praise God and thank God for His blessings and start using His blessings for His GLORY.

I do not apologize if i sound harsh as i expect you to rebuke me also if you see me falling away also. This is what family do, loving one another, encouraging one another, rebuking one another, helping one another to keep our eyes on Jesus.

Praying for you.Till I see you again.

Peer Pressure-ism

You see it everywhere. From the (underage)kids sitting in the coffee shop smoking and trying to look cool, to the young adults who go out for so-called 'social drinking' because their friends asked them to and to the teens who laugh at dirty and so-not God glorifying jokes that nobody should be telling and listening to.


It's easy to succumb to it. Peer pressure, I mean. To want to be part of the group and have friends and 'kakis' as Uncle CC would put it is normal.


But we also have to know our limits. Don't be afraid to say no or to state your stand, to tell your friends how you feel about something that you know is wrong. If they respect you, they'll respect your decisions not to join them in whatever they're doing that's against the principles that we, as Christians, hold.


As Christians we should be 'light and salt of the earth'. Not because nobody else is going to do it, but because we are called to be witnesses for Christ. And by letting people know on which side of the line you stand and why, we're being witnesses.


So I hope that when you guys read this, you'll keep it in mind as you go about your daily lives among your friends.


Just a thought. =)
