Trusting God’s Timing
Mar 11th

My good friend sent me this to my email. He took it from his friend’s blog post somewhere (I’ll have to ask him the URL later). It really is a good read especially for me who’s still single at his 30s. Waiting for God for His perfect timing can be a bit daunting and distressful, but I know at the end, it’s always the most beautiful moment we’ve ever experienced with Him.
Check this post out, especially if you are waiting for God’s answer to your prayers.
Teamwork in the ministry
Mar 4th

I was teaching about the importance of teamwork on the last preparation class in my church before the new congregration members start serving in our church ministries. I taught the importance of having a goal, trust, communication, initiative, humility, and being submissive. These “simple” traits are often overlooked and can become a disaster in your ministry & others.
No matter how skillful you are, no matter how good you think you are, your ministry is never bigger than your character. God always choose a person with a good heart, a good character. He never choose someone because he/she is capable.

When love blinds you
Feb 17th

Translated from the original sermon notes.
Read 2 Samuel 13 (consequences after David sinned).
Amnon, David’s son, fell in love with his own sister, Tamar (the same father (David) but with a different mom). In the Torah, it’s not allowed to marry with your own sibling, therefore Amnon forced and raped Tamar (verse 14). Amnon changed though, from loving Tamar to hating her. In verse 15: “Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her“. Absalom, his brother, knew about this and swore for a revenge. Two years after, Amnon was murdered by Absalom.
What we want is often not what we need

We often ask God what we want, but most of the time, it’s not what we need and He knows it the most!

Unfailing Love video
Nov 30th
We had a Christmas celebration yesterday (29/11/2009) at our church, Emmanuel Baptist Church (EBC), where a few of our friends wrote together a nice piece of song titled “Unfailing Love”. The song was written by Kalvin Hanjaya Ananda, Giovanni Julius Sutjiutama, and Jesse Wisesa Oey.
Kalvin also played the guitar while Jesse was the singer. Here is the video, I hope you love it as much as I do.

This is a good post from Pastor John Piper (taken from DesiringGod.org). The article was written back in 1998 but just like the Bible, the words stand true through out ages and many generations.
Note: This actually applies to Sunday afternoon and evening as well :)
Glo Bible – the Bible goes digital!
Oct 16th
This is probably the coolest Bible software that I’ve ever seen (well, based on the trailer though). It’s the Bible plus other great information you’ll ever need in studying the history and the facts on the Bible events/history. The Glo Bible software includes tons of High Definition Videos, pictures, real maps, and other factual information about things that happened during the early church and when the events in the Bible took place.
Worth checking the video trailer below:
