My Good Friday

I love Good Friday and Easter. To me, these 2 occasions are way better than Christmas. Last Friday's service was a blast! We had an invited guest, P. Kulbal Singh. The church was really blessed through his ministry. This man of God moves in the gift of healing and miracle. My friends, Sylvia and Eddy got healed on that day. Sylvia had problems with one of her tendon. Whereas Eddy suffered from stomach complications. Their healing really brought encouragement to my life. And I believe the rest were also fired up.


As much as I am excited, I am remembered that Good Friday is about Jesus' death on the cross. How He sacrificed His life for you and me. I am always reminded of my former senior pastor's Good Friday sermon. The question that he posed to the congregation was 'How many times did we put Jesus on the Cross?' What he was getting at was that everytime we compromise and fall into sin, again and again, it is like putting Jesus on the Cross again and again. It is like hammering the thick and longs nails into his hands and feet. Of course what he meant wasn't literal. Its more to hurting Jesus' heart or feelings.


During Good Friday, lets evaluate how we live our lives. Are we still putting our left leg on the world and right leg in the light? If this is so, then I'm sorry to say that if we're neither hot or cold, God would spit us out as per His Word in the book of revelation. My encouragement to all is this: God is so wonderful, so amazing that He gave His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. What Jesus had done on the Cross, is an act of love. If we love Jesus, let us follow Him and carry our cross. Its never easy being a Christian. It wasn't easy for Jesus either. But you know what, I find that in all my life as a born again Christian, following Jesus is worth it.

Book spree & CD Spree!!

Yesterday, went gift hunting at Doulos. Supposedly to be gift hunting, nangga2x, bought stuffs for myself. Hehehe..... So at Doulos, I bought 3 books. 1 book is a gift for my coming X'mas party. 2 books for myself. All for RM24. Stinking cheap right? If I buy these books at the local bookstore, it'll cost me somewhere around RM25-RM35 per book. Yeah....dirt cheap. When I thought I was done with my book spree, I came across one section of the ship where they have an offer. 4CDs + 1 doulos bag for RM20. Or 3 books + 1 Doulos bag for RM20. Wowsers! How can I resist!! Off I went & managed to grab 4 CDs. American made CDs are of good quality man. One of the Cds that I picked was a Christian rock group called Decypher Down. I stumbled across this band while I was copying songs to my MP3 player from my bro's PC. I like what I heard & I always wonder how is their full album like. Needless to say it rocks & when I read throught the lyrics of 'Breathe Again', I

Green Chords-State Level 2009

This is the reason why I drove all the way to Sibu. To lend support to my brother's school marching band, the Green Chords. Before this, I was never a fan. Err wait..before this I've never heard of marching band at all. Of course this all changed after my sibs joined Green Road Sec. School's marching band. See the guy with the tuba. That's my younger bro, Calvin a.k.a Ju. When he first started, i.e. at the age of 13, he was selected to play the tuba. Mind you, he was the sole tuba player for 4 consecutive years. Imagine, he's controlling the bass side of the band...all by himself. Mind you, among all of us siblings, he was never musically trained. It was because of band that he begged my mum to enroll him for piano class..at the age of 14, which is quite late..just to master theory.He plays the tuba..and he has no musical theory background. Apparently, most of his band mates don't have any music background either. Imagine, they were taught to play the instrument

Blogshy

Hi everyone in the blog community, Well, this is so awkward... Blogging seems to be the 'in-thing' these days. I've been thinking about joining the blogging trend(not that I'm a person who just want to delve into the 'in-thing')but I've been hindered due to thoughts like what am I going to write about & what if I get into trouble with the government(ya right..far fetched am I?). I guess I'm just blogshy, if there's such a word. If it weren't for Daron, my pastor, friend & brother(pastor, these words are mushy & you know how hardcore I am in expressing my feelings..haha!) I won't be doing this. He's the one who encouraged me to blog. & lo & behold, I'm doing this! So viewers, I hope my blog would be entertaining & inspiring. Hopefully, I can get some good out of this.
