looks like our blog has been really rather alive with posts/comments/tags. laugh..
just want to share something that came to my mind when i was doing qt this morning. I was reading from the Bible, the Book of Jude. [yes, i know the book sounds so obscure. haha..]
Jude 1:20-25 says "But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear- hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy - to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen."
i was reading this when I thought about this mission trip that we'll be embarking on this May-June. Between leaving in May and now, it is such an essential time for us to be building ourselves up in Faith and to keep praying in the Holy Spirit - not just to be interceding for the land but also to be guarding ourselves [heart,soul,body,mind] jealously for God. And even as we go forth in May to be "snatching others from the fire", let us remember that it is only our powerful God who is able to keep us from falling and that all salvations come from Him.
Grins. Have a blessed week, team, and see you all tomorrow at gc. =) [psst: bixia and san san, hope the curry will be nice. hee..]
