Spiritual Housekeeping
I pray before I went for service this afternoon. God answered my prayer. It was a good service. I am convicted on some of my bad habits. I was seated in the 2nd row, behind Ps Kong. I evaluated his preaching haha just trying to get some last minutes things for my preaching test next week. Anyway Pastor Kong score a 95% on his preaching! So where is the 5%? Ask me personally. =)
Ps Kong talk about the Holy Spirit. We need to create an atmosphere where we can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. Every service is indeed to experience God presence and we cannot take it lightly! Ps Kong gave a 6/10 for svs 1 on the spiritual atmosphere. He was mentioning maybe the young people there are not spiritually fit yet. People were sms, walking around and never bring Bible etc.... Immediately after that, phones were ringing everywhere around me!! Ps kong was distracted. Ps Zhuang expression shows a worried man! There was a bunch of young people obviously new friends because they wear shorts. 1 of the phone rang was from them.
Ps Kong began to disciple the people indirectly through the sermons. The tones change and the atmosphere suddenly became intense. Ps Kong mentions that we need to pray and be hungry for the Word of God during service and being serious. He told the people in svs 1 which I find is so true. We are here in Church not to play game and we don't lower down the standard of the Church. Be serious during service. He make a remark which I don't wish to said it here haha... so the bunch of young people said to 1 another that.. the pastor is talking about them. They make negative remarks... I was very offended! Arhh so many to say... Ask me personally ba haha... too sensitive to write in the blog. =(
1 thing I felt is that we should bring our Bible to Church. It is so basic! Ya I know people have bible in their hp etc... well i don't mind but I strongly discourage! To look verses in the hp will have a high chances of distracting you when a sms is sent to you. For a few weeks I never bring bible to church but somehow I felt uneasy. So I started to bring my bible to church again. I feel we should have some originality kept.
Ps Kong just rated svs 2, 7/10 on the Spiritual atmosphere. So svs 3 and 4 come on!! Especially my own svs 4! Lets really respect God during service. Like what Ps kong say, if you are in Church for a while pls get on with the program if not you can go other church. CHC will move on with or without you. Is time to get serious if you want to be a disciple of Jesus. Don't 1 day, you call Lord Lord and Jesus rebuke you and ask you to go away for He do not know you!
On the lighter side, I was doing some shopping this morning at Ikea, while going to the cashier, Joash called me haha. I saw Joyce and Joash and their daddy. OMG... I was so happy to see them. I never notice them until Joash call me name. Teacher CK!
