Today has been a fruitful day at church. The sermon in the morning touched me deep. When Uncle James gave examples of the sister not sharing the gospel to his most beloved brother, I could not help but think of the close friends around me and my relatives.

I really felt that I have not done my best to share the gospel to my friends, to tell them this good news that I have, and to tell them the truth of life. I went to Rev Tong's sermon this evening, and he gave a terrific example on the truth of the gospel.

He said that someone asked him how he would answer the question that some people say that it is 'unreasonable', 'arrogant' that Jesus Christ claims that He is the only way to eternal life, and not believing in Him will go to hell. So many oppose this claim and want to see what exactly will happen to them.

His reply was very simple, imagine 'Air' being 'unreasonable' and 'arrogant' and claim that only by breathing 'him' then you will live. And if you do not breathe, you cannot live. And you choose to oppose it. What will exactly happen to you?

Haha. his example was quite comical, but portrayed a serious truth. He's saying that God is telling a truth, and the rule of life, and it does not make Him arrogant to say that! ;) I really hope my friends will one day realise the truth and also attain meaning in life and true happiness. (an eternal one)

Also, I realised that sometimes it is difficult for me to be very real in relationships with people. Or maybe that is not the exact word for it, but I'm still not very sure. I just feel that sometimes I do not put in enough effort to care for my brothers and sisters and my friends. It is something that I really need to work on.

Lastly, it is my prayer life. I still don't have a prayer structure for myself, and I find myself not praying enough for others. (ministry, people, missionaries, church, etc.) so I am going to do up a prayer structure for myself! ; )

Take care peeps. God Bless. ; )

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does." James !:22-25
