My good friend sent me this to my email. He took it from his friend’s blog post, How I know that he is the one from God. 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.
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.

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:
I went to a friend’s wedding party on Sunday night a couple of days ago and a couple of our friends were singing a song “When God Made You” originally sang by Newsong and Natalie Grant. I couldn’t really hear the lyrics at the party but when I looked at a YouTube video and the lyrics… wow, it moved me.
If you haven’t heard the song before, have a look at this embedded video with the lyrics + song. Whether you already have someone by your side or not, it doesn’t really matter as this song has blessed me who is still waiting for His perfect time. I hope the song can be a blessing to you too.
I was watching a movie titled Fireproof last weekend on a Youth service at our church. I really recommend you to watch this movie too if you haven’t!
It’s the same maker (Sherwood Baptist Church) of the movie “Facing the Giants” which I saw on our Easter camp last year. If you like “Facing the Giants”, you’ll love Fireproof (I think Fireproof is even better than Facing the Giants). It has a great storyline, great actors/actresses, and also great biblical values (much better than Facing the Giants).
Carrie Prejean, also known as Miss California 2009, was asked by one of the judges, Perez Hilton, a question about her opinion on same sex marriages during the Miss America beauty pageant on 21st April 2009. She answered the biblical truth and was mocked as a result. But I’m glad that she answered based on her heart, her belief, and her God. Wish many christians can stand firm like her even when it costs them their friends and/or their jobs. Or in this case, a Miss America title.
Have a look at the interview video.
This is a great touching video of a father and a son, resembling John 3:16 from the Bible.

The song titled “Healer” was invented by Pastor Michael Guglielmucci due to his battle against cancer. He testified that the doctor told him he had a cancer and only had 6 more months to live. He’s been living for 2 years now and he invented this song to proclaim his faith on God, our Healer.
He’s been exposed as a fraud and under professional help at the moment.
Although this is a sad news indeed for us, let us not judging him for his mistake or whatever reason why he did it. Pray for him and also for other Christians who may be feeling judgmental and down about this. Let us all focus on Jesus and the true meaning behind the song (which is biblical and very meaningful; please read Isaiah 53:2-6), and not focusing on a human being who can be sinful and weak.
This news won’t stop me listening to the song. How about you?
Interview with Michael on Today Tonight
I like a comment posted by stonemanjosh on YouTube:
“I would like someone to name a worship song for me that was not written by a sinner. David wrote the psalms and he was an adulterer too! Since when are we to good to forgive what God has already paid for?”
The Advertiser was told last night Mr Guglielmucci may release a statement on the situation. To read the news in detail, go to The Age newspaper here.
