i wrote Thank God for likeminded people at 1:48:00 AM for you.

Today I took some time to think about SNP, and the Leaders came to my mind. I can't stop thanking God for them, for it is the Lord that sent this group of likeminded, God fearing, self sacrificing, fun loving, talented, humble, faithful and dedicated people to SNP. It has been 7 years liao and SNP is still growing and learning to be of service to the Lord through shepharding His Sheeps. Though it's not easy in youth work, but I believe there are much joy in all those painful moments, becasue the Lord is our strength and comfort and he allows us to see friuts at the end of the day. Like I said 7 years ago, in this ministry that we do, at the end of the day, some will go and some will stay, but the bottom line is, we all want to see that the Lord will be the center of each young person's life that comes along our way. there are so much to be done and so many different "kinds" of young people to minister to, I sincerely thank my fellow leaders, that they've made this ministry so encouraging and so comforting for me, to know that I and my wife, we are not alone in this field and their partnership has always been a joy to us. Thank...............kew..........! I really pray and hope that SNP can have another 7 more years to come, and that our members will grow to keep this ministry going by keeping it's culture and the Lord's teaching faithfully. SNP will go on only when the people in it believe that we must fear and love God, encourage and spur one another towards LOVE and good deeds. And all these will have to be expressed through our daily lives. May the Lord keep us and watch over us for many many many years ahead. And build faithful and willing Leaders. Amen.

i wrote it's all about our heart at 2:29:00 PM for you.

Yesterday, a youth said to me, It's so difficult! it's so difficult to live a Christian live. Because there are so many things he has to sacrifice. I told that youth, the reason why he finds it difficult is because he is storing his treasures here on earth and not in heaven, like what the bible says, where your treasure is, there your heart will be too. His heart is on the things here, what makes him happy it the things here on earth. Therefore when he tries to live his life for the Lord, he finds that it's difficult to be happy when he tries and yet still can't find fulfillment in his Christian life. The bible also says in the same passage, that men can never serve 2 masters. But many Christian nowadays, try to live their life for God, and on the other hand wants to hold on to what this world can offer. No wonder it's so difficult. It came down to where our hearts is? It's where all our thoughts and feelings all begin, but if we never have a heart for Jesus, we'll never really have a part in him. A song I learn when I was a youth. So do you love him only? Or you love him but you also love the world?
It is after all very easy to live a Christian life, is when we in our heart decided to live for him alone. To end my meeting with this youth, I said, in this world, there are only a handful of Christian will decide in their heart that they will live for Jesus alone. Are you one of them?

i wrote True righteousness at 10:47:00 AM for you.

I was doing my QT and it's about true righteousness. Many time when I look at righteousness, I thought of me being or trying very hard to be righteous, but The Lord taught me in this QT that I can never be righteous, but was make righteous, and that cause me to think about how grateful I am foe the salvation Christ has given to me and the faith to believe.

True righteousness is

• In the faith we have in Christ’s fulfillment for our salvation that we are consider righteous.
o Which in the same faith we live in continuous trusting and obeying in being Godly (full of God’s ways) in our thinking and in our living both in speech and in action.
So therefore righteousness is not about us doing righteous stuffs, it’s about the faith in us that cause us to believe and live in His righteousness.

So we can never be righteous, but we were make righteous. And will be make complete (free from wanting to go against God) when Jesus comes back again.

Philippians 3:1-14

So the same Faith that brings me to my knees to beg for Salvation will be the exact same faith that I live to glorify His name in every way. Not because I am getting more and more righteous but because I was make righteous.

Our understanding on what true righteousness is will therefore allow us to live righteously (living righteously means we live by trusting and obeying the Lord because we were make righteous) before God and man.

i wrote To step or not to step? it is the BIG question! at 9:36:00 AM for you.

There was a very famous book call Silence of God or something like that, recounting a history happening of a Japanese Priest who was under persecution back in 1960s. He was threaten to renounce his faith by stepping on the picture of Christ. If he doesn't do so, many Japanese Christian will put to death, if he does so, they will be release. He was very troubled, And His mentor told his to step on the picture. reason he gave was, it was just a picture, it doesn't mean anything, and encouraged him to step on it. What will you do if you are in his shoes?
1. to step and renounce your faith
2. Not to step and watch the Christian put to death right in front of your eyes
Many will choose to step and and save the lives of the Christian. But is it the right thing to do? Think about it again.
If I choose to save the lives of the Christian(in this case)by renouncing my faith and to please and satisfy the persecutors in anyway, I am truly renouncing my faith! Because I am telling God and my persecutors that my God cannot do anything to stop the situation, but I can, because it's all up to me. Although I don't mean it. But that's what it means when I step on the picture. So even though the picture is just a picture, but my action tells me about my faith. I have to trust the Lord that he is still sovereign and that it could be his plan for all to suffer death because of Him, but I must say, it is a painful decision. can we bear it? Is such a cross heavy? So let's go out and share the Gospel to all that have not yet heard. So that even when they suffer in this present life, the will still have hope in eternity!
