Fundraising - 1st week

2009-11-08T02:16:00.001-08:00

Hello Phos Teens !

An amazing job to all of you boys and girls who helped out in our first week of fundraising! *applause* We managed to sell ALL our cupcakes and hotdogs ... though in the beginning a few things went wrong like the sausages not cooking and people demanding for hotdogs to come faster. Still, we managed to raise more than 300 ringgit for the southeast asia natural disaster victims .

Special thanks and claps to:

Elaine

Amelia

Pastor Charles

Chee Wai

Sheryn

Amber

Eugene

Andrew

Jonathan

and of course the biggest clap for our beloved and gracious God who provided us with the hungry stomachs of the congregation, the attraction of the little kids to the cupcakes, our sponsors, the sunny weather, and the strength in our bodies to do all that.

Also, today wouldn't have worked out without all of your co-operation, sweat, and hardwork .

Good job everyone : )

Oh and also a super special and big thank you to Aunty Esther who helped make the amazing pasta sauce for the hotdogs which completely sold out. Bryan came home and said "Dad, the hotdog today you buy from where? Next week buy for me again."

2009-11-03T08:18:00.000-08:00

Hey PhosTeens,

Don't forget that Fund Raising for the victims of the recent tragedies of Asia will begin this Sunday, 8th Nov 09.

There's delicious food that will be sold every Sunday for the whole month.

Think that this is too much?

Take a look at the video and it might changed your mind. After I've watched it, all the more I want this Fund Raising to be as successful as possible and to raise more than what we targeted for.

Every single dollar counts =)

ICU at Simon's house

2009-08-22T06:52:00.000-07:00

Today for the older ICU (not the college ICU ) , we all payed a visit to Simon's house ! We met his parents and his little sister , Sherleen .

We started off by handing the time over to John to bring us our icebreaker which was , Twister . And not only did it break the ice , it broke bones .

Pure fun .

After that , we had a short time of worship , and then sharing by Pastor Charles .

All in all , we had a fun time .

And once again , thank you Simon and Simon's family for having us over : )

2009-08-17T20:38:00.000-07:00

Dear PHOS Teens,

I intend to write this sharing to you so that you can keep high alert while you on the street alone...

...what a scene which i was not prepare and ready to comprehence...
...i met a street robery while i was jogging along the main road of Sri Petaling...

...they were 3 of them, either 3 malays or indons...

...they were in 2 motor bikes with black jackets...
...it happen so fast and quick at about 9.30am...

...i thought it was merely a fight between an indon maid which live in Endah Regal and three of them...
...i cant even help the lady victim to shout for help...
...i just looked toward the theives and a theive with a parang as they looked towards to me...
...i cant do anything but to stare at the thieves...

...i cant able to remember their looks and their motor bikes number plates...

...after that i try console the lady victim...
...nothing much i can do so i continue to jog...
...i jog with full alertness...
...trying to spot them as i jog around there...
...helpless helpless and helpless...
...please be careful and be alert while you walking alone on the street...

...it can happen anytime and anywhere...

...try to walk as group...

...as for me, i will try not to jog alone anymore around Sri Petaling but of cause i still continue jog around my condominium compound...

DEAR PHOS TEEN, I URGE YOU TO BE EXTRA ALERT WHERE YOU ARE

this is true scene, no make ups...

2009-06-15T19:04:00.000-07:00

Family members whom we want to forgive and also to seek forgiveness from. We nail it to the cross as a symbolic act in surrendering the person and situation to Jesus Christ. Pray and ask Jesus to help, give us courage and boldness to begin the process of forgiveness.

...As i played this long lost childhood game, it did reminded me 1 important lesson that is, we must be rooted and strongly"foundationed" in Jesus, our ROCK...

...Or else our life will be like this "plastic tower", build on soft foundation, 1 strong wind or shake, the tower collapse...

...This imply that if we were not root in Jesus's strong foundation, we will fall when we face trials and temptation...

holy saturday junior icu

2009-04-12T04:56:00.000-07:00

Practice the tradision of "Washing Of Feet" by the Amelia (junior ICU leader) to all junior ICU members...Senior ICU practiced in different way by cutting each other finger nails...A very meaningful practice which to remind us we are here...

"TO SERVE AND NOT TO BE SERVED"...

1 more lesson that impressed me a lot was the sharing given by Pastor Robert last Saturday PHOS which regards to forgiveness of our sins...For every wrong doings and sins that we committed, when we confess it to the Lord, actually there is a "Blood Dealing" between Jesus and the evil one...Jesus who willing to shared His blood for all our sins, hence we must not take forgiveness lightly...we are being PURCHASE by a priceless cost that is the blood and the life of Jesus...

...HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER...

CAU...

Is it a sin to cuss / swear / curse?

2009-02-23T19:51:00.000-08:00

- taken from Got Question?.org http://www.gotquestions.org/cussing-swearing.html

Answer: It is definitely a sin to swear (curse, cuss, etc.). The Bible makes this abundantly clear. Ephesians 4:29 tells us, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." First Peter 3:10 declares, "For, whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech." James 3:9-12 summarizes the issue: "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."

James makes it clear that the lives of Christians—the “brothers”—should not be characterized by evil speech. By making the analogy of both salt water and fresh water coming from the same spring (which is uncharacteristic of springs), he makes the point that it is uncharacteristic for a believer to have both praise and cursing come from his/her mouth. Nor is it characteristic for us to praise God on one hand and curse our brothers on the other. This, too, is uncharacteristic of a true believer.

Jesus explained that what comes out of our mouths is that which fills our hearts. Sooner or later, the evil in the heart comes out through the mouth in curses and swearing. But when our hearts are filled with the goodness of God, praise for Him and love for others will pour forth. Our speech will always indicate what is in our hearts. “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45).

Why is it a sin to cuss / swear / curse? Sin is a condition of the heart, the mind, and “the inner man” (Romans 7:22), which is manifested in our thoughts, actions and words. When we swear and curse, we are giving evidence of the polluting sin in our hearts that must be confessed and repented of. Thankfully, our great God is “faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When this happens, we receive a new nature from God (2 Corinthians 5:17), our hearts are transformed, and our speech reflects the new nature God has created within us.

2 Corinthians 3:3

2008-11-20T04:25:00.000-08:00

"Clearly you are an epistle of Christ, minister by us, written not with the ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on the tablets of stone but on the tablet of flesh, that is, of the heart..."

I still remember clearly that this verse was shared by Uncle Ben during one of the prayer meeting this year. This sharing was impressed deeply in me a lot, that's why I still remembered till now.

I don't know which bible version use craft instead of written. As you know that, process of craving is lengthy, it also require lot's of energy and time. Similarly, when God is crafting His Word on our flesh (ie. our heart), it is a lengthy (life long process) and painful process. Crafting the Word on our heart, definitely we will suffered all the time, but the end of it we will know how precoius is the Word meant to us.

The process of learning and apply the Word is indeed painful and hard, but let us as PHOS bear such PAIN and togather we grow in the Word. Let's our life be conformed in the Lord and not conformed to the world.

As the PHOS gathering is ending here, I really hope you able to learn something about the Fruit of the Spirit. Hope you will apply it in your live, though it might be painful, difficult to do so, however let us not give up.

See you all in 2009 Youth Camp in Cameron...BE IMITATOR OF GOD...

I will run to You: By the Spirit of God

2008-11-08T06:58:00.000-08:00

I Will Run To You
- Hillsongs

Your eye is on the sparrow
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen

You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand

And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace

1 Corinthians 15:58

2008-11-06T03:48:00.000-08:00

"Therefore, my beloves brethren,

be steadfast, immovable, always abouding in the word of the Lord,

knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."

Feeling tired in serving the Lord??? Being tied up with loads of duties??? A lot of exams need to face??? No time??? Loss of strength and stamina???................

Personally, this verse is so encouraging and comforting as I go through my devotion today.

Currently, I am quite worry about the camp as the camp is approaching laaa, Christmas events laaa, youth planning meeting laaa, also the youth weekly programs laaa for next year as the year is almost end, confirmation of work laaa, etc...many of uncertainty surounding me...

I felt being tied up, sometimes stressful, some time forgetful and miss some important things...hmm feel very tired and a failure but.......

After I read this verse, I am CHARGED because God promise us whatever we do for Him, He will honor us...O don't be discourage while you serving the Lord...BE FAITHFUL...

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pasture; He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul; He lead me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For you are with me Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enermies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercyshall follow me all teh days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord FOREVER...

This is what Douglas shared for the night. Ask him about the contend of sharing.....

* for those who miss this trip, hope you will join us next time...

sharing

This home is situated at Kajang...This home is manage and coordinate by Mr Goh who just accepted Christ last Easter...

Pastor Ling is the pastor of the home...

This home is not a home meant for rich family who sent by their children but rather those who have no place to go...most of them are still single and some of them are here because their family members failed to support them...

So I took this opportunity to asked Mr Goh, how are they survive in terms of financially, because the old folks need nutrinous food, high calcium milk, high medical cost, utilities expenses and misc expenses...

to tell you frankly, this home income merely come from Pastor Ling help and also Mr Goh effort to find some donations from the public...i felt very surprise when Mr Goh told me that LCMS did very minimum to support them...they only have just sufficient or sometimes fail to raise any money...I think we as PHOS youth will do something for them (let me discuss with Richard)

There are 23 old folks staying in 2 different teras house...1 for male and the other for female...To tell you all, they are quite old and most of them having sickness...Some suffer from diabetis, 1 is blind, and many have difficulties in movement.

Personally, I felt so touch by the joyfulness of the old folks...when they knew we are going to visit them, they patiently waited for us since morning...some even have movement difficulties yet they willing to take effort to walk across a distance to meet us...i can see their joy when we were there...they love the food which we had prepared...they enjoy a lot...

It is very lonely for an old folks staying in the old folks home...so please, every PHOS youth, please cherish and apprecaite and love and obey your parents with all your heart and all you soul...please dont everytime complain and complain against them...

...BE PATIENT AND LOVE THEM...

by the way, Doug shared about the "cat and dog theory"...do you all still remember what this theory talk about???

to be a CHRISTIAN DOG: The Master who serve him, love him, feed him and protect him, he will acknowledege the Master as his God.
1st question: why do a DOG want to go to heaven???
answer: to be with his Master

to be a CHRISTIAN CAT: The Mater who serve him, love him, feed him, and protect him, he will assume that he is god (to be served)
1st question: why do a CAT want to go to heaven???
answer: to escape from hell

hahhahaaa...can u see the two major different between this two characteristic (gratitude, god-centered and selfishness, man-centered)...so are you a CAT or DOG??? answer yourself loo...

see u next gathering...

new comer: Julius

Welcome to you Julias, hope you had a wonderful time with us and you will continue to join us to have fun and to learn more about Jesus who is gracious and ever loving in the future...

Topic: WWJD (What Would Jesus Do)

Last Thursday, Alister led us in this interesting topic. Though it was a short sharing prepared by Alister, yet it was very meaningful where we were reminded to think and reflect "What Would Jesus Do" in times of trials and temptations.

Background about WWJD:
A movement began by youths in Holand. They also made a simple bracelet with WWJD on it. This was capture the attention of nationwide.

Reflection:
What will you do when you are facing a dilema or temption or difficulty in your life?
Choose a simple way out or try to obey the Lord???
eg. If you were caught by police due to speeding. What is your first thought??? To bribe or to ask for pardon from that policeman??? For most of the people, they will find an easy way out by bribing the policeman.
So what will you do as a believer of Jesus??? Let us try to learn to think what would Jesus do when He is in this situation. If you know Him, you will not bribe but rather acknowledge our wrong doings and accept a summon. Jesus never thought us to bribe but to acknowledge our sin to Him.

Answer to WWJD is not always think what He will do but rather how well we know Jesus who is our Lord. If we do not know Him, we will follow the circular way where all people in the world perceive that it is okay. When we know Him, we will know His word, His way and His plan, we will also know what we should do, what we ought not to do, attitude and character we bear which will reflect our Lord. Just like when Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness during His 40 days fasting. He never fell nor submit to Satan but rather to defend through the word of God. When we know the word, we will know how to comprehence the situation according to God's way.

Since this year youth camp theme is IMITATORS OF GOD, let us continue to pursue His word, know Him and allow Him to live in us, soon we will able to be more Christlikeness.

When our lifes are in the T-junction , where it require us to choose God's way or Worldly way, let us willing to make a correct decision where it is pleases the Lord instead we choose the way which only pleases our own selfish intention where it will lead us to eternal distruction. Let's pray for wisdom and discernment so that we able to differentiate the good and the evil one.

-WWJD-

August youth article - goodness (prepare by chermayne)

2008-09-07T01:49:00.000-07:00

2nd August 2008
For youth, we did something special. Instead of having our usual night time meetings, we went for tracting in the afternoon! We were spread out into teams of two and given an area to give out leaflets for the kindergarten and the zoo trip. Sure we were all exhausted and tired in the end but it felt pleasing to know that we showed an act of goodness.

9th August 2008
Today we started on our journey on learning about the fruit of the Spirit, goodness! Douglas did word for Phos. He started off by asking the question, “What do you think of when you hear goodness?” There were replies like, “Oh my goodness!” and “Something good”. Douglas’ definition was something that meets someone’s definition, standard, or purpose. Just like how Joseph met God’s standard and purpose. The story of Joseph was that his brothers betrayed him because they didn’t like him and sold him off to Potiphar as a slave. While he was there, his master saw how good and hardworking he was and appointed him head amongst all the servants. Potiphar’s wife then managed to get Joseph into trouble by taking his coat and saying that he was disturbing her. Joseph was then thrown into jail. But even in jail, the jail-keeper trusted him so much because he was so good, and put Joseph in charge of the whole jail! In jail, Joseph met a baker and a cupbearer. They both had very awkward dreams of their own and felt very troubled because they didn’t know what their dreams meant. Joseph asked them what was wrong and they each shared their dreams. Joseph interpreted their dreams with the power of God and said that the cupbearer’s dream meant that he was going to be restored back to his position as a cupbearer and that the baker’s dream meant that he was going to be hung. Both of the interpretations were correct and came true. Before Joseph interpreted the cupbearer’s dream, he requested the cupbearer to remember him when he is released. But the cupbearer forgot. One day though, when Pharaoh himself had a dream where all his magicians and wise men couldn’t interpret, the cupbearer suddenly remembered that in jail, there was a man that interpreted his dreams. Joseph was called and again with the power of God, he managed to interpret Pharaoh’s dream. The dream meant that there would be 7 years of abundance in Egypt, followed by 7 years of famine. Pharaoh was so pleased with Joseph that he put Joseph in charge of the whole land. Joseph having God in him, managed to help Egypt save up for the 7 years of famine. During the time of famine, Joseph’s brother’s came to him and begged for food not knowing they were actually begging to their very own brother. Joseph could’ve easily just rejected them because of the terrible thing they did to him, instead, he granted them what they wanted. In conclusion, throughout the whole story, we can see that Joseph had goodness in him. Even though he went through rough times in his life, he managed to walk so closely with God which resulted in great things. He managed to meet God’s purpose and standards.
Today we also all became Guardian Angels because of the fruit of the spirit goodness, becoming Guardian Angels was a way to practice being good to one another.

16th August 2008
Today we had World Teach! This time though, we had a walk through the Old Testament. Again, Uncle Steven came by and gave us an amazing time. We learnt about the first 17 books of history which were about events, God’s work, the people, and the past. Then we learnt about the 5 poetry books which were about experience, God’s way, practice, and the present. And lastly, we learnt about the last 17 books of prophecy which were about expectations, God’s will, preachers, and the future. Again, he taught us actions which helped us remember the happenings in the Old Testament in order. It was once again a very fun and interesting learning experience.

23rd August 2008
On this night, we had ICU. Both the ICUs learnt about the differences of kindness and goodness. We learnt that kindness was the power to meet one’s needs and that it was more of a personality trait by the way one portrays it to another. It is also more of an individual’s thoughts and self-being. However, goodness is more of your actions. It is the act of doing good to someone even though the person doesn’t really need it. For example, Josiah said he needed new slippers. If Elaine bought him new slippers because he needed it, that was an act of kindness. But if Elaine just out of nowhere bought him a pair of new slippers even when he didn’t need it, it was an act of goodness.
In John 2:13-17, it tells about the time when Jesus cleared the temple because he was mad that people were selling things in the temple turning it into a market. Jesus showed an act of goodness because he did something harsh but for a good cause.
In conclusion, the difference between kindness and goodness is that kindness, is in one’s personality and it isn’t harsh, while goodness can be harsh and is doing something for the good of another.

a very warm welcome Andy and Jason to be part of our fellowship...ur present really encouraging...similar to those who attended...

topic: what is christian life all about???

is christianity complicate??? or is difficult or hard???during hte gathering, we conclude that christianity is not complicate cozz God give a very clear instructions to us to obey...christianity is difficult or hard to when we fail to obey Him...It is because we love to pursue our on agenda instead of God plan...

so, what is christian life all about???

it all about grace and glory...

grace - salvation is FOC...we cant earn salvation thru our own good works and own effort...we cant saved ourselves even we try very hard to earn God's favor on us...all of us are sinner and fallen short of God's glory which deserve for DEATH penalty...yet God's pardon our sin and take away our death role thru Jesus...hence, it is all about God's grace...WE ARE SAVE BY GRACE THRU FAITH...

glory - worship, honour and praise to God...God will share His glory with anybody...all glory belongs to God alone...

i think, that all...

see u next week...

Attendence: Douglas, Alister, Josiah, Elaine, Chee Wai, Tamie, Sheryn, Daphne (new comer) and Aaron (the return of the canadian boy)

hahaha...really very happy to see Daphne and Aaron in among our midst...it was very joyful and glad that we again reunion again after long long time...welcome to both of u...hope to see both of u there more regularly...togather we learn, togather we serve and togather we grow...that's really wonderful...

nothing more specific topic Doug shared...we merely spend a very short time of word yet it was very meaningful that we did shared much...2 way communication maaa...

we shared about what is serving...i think most of us will say i involve in BB, or Gb or worship or children or youth ministry or even multiple of it...we will thought and assume that serving is full of action and involvement of physical activity...

Doug highlighted to us that serving God is utilise the gift that God have given to each one of us to GROW AND BUILD THE CHURCH (PEOPLE)...serving is not merely resricted to those who lead worship, lead youth, sit as EMC or CC member of HLLC but rather to serve each other with love...like the bible say, there are plenty of different gift which imparted to each individual, in other word, different people will have unique and different gift...

WHY???
it is because a church is a body with many parts and each part meet different people to play a role and build the CHURCH specifically...please don't underestimate yourself who can't lead on the stage or lack of knowledge in teaching, you might have gift of encouragement...u can use this gift where to encourage others is a where to serve and build the CHURCH...u can also privately pray for each other...it is a way to support each other...be a listening ear to those who in need...simple way can bring huge impact to the CHURCH...

MORE HEART AND MORE EFFORT FOR EACH OTHER

SERVE EACH OTHER WITH LOVE

passion (by sheryn)

2008-08-11T07:18:00.000-07:00

ok...this is the assignment which is given by my future pastor..a report(or rather a summary) for PASSION concert in Sunway Convention Centre on 3rd August..really do not know what to write though..but I guess that Im still able to remember something..hehe..here it goes..
=> worship by Chris Tomlin

It was amazing..but at first,Im like 'huh'(started adi?) since I havent warm up..lol..so tired..but I got excited!!The worship is just so nice that I wished the night will never end..During halfway,we were asked to pray in three silently and to pray as short as possible which is my 1st time as in concert since we usually pray it out loudly and long..And yea,this reminds me ....

Matthew 6:5-8
5 "And when you pray,do not be like the hypocrites,for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray,go into your room,close the door and pray to your Father ,who is unseen. Then your father,who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray,do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.=> Sermon by Louie GiglioWe made by God for God.God expect us to live for him(reminds me about the movie 'Pay It Forward'..The world expect nothing from us).When God asked something from us,our only answer should be "Yes,Lord!!"We should never say this :
1)No,Lord
2)Wait,Lord
3)Maybe,Lord
4)I will pray about it,Lord :P2 Corinthians 5:2121God made him(Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him(Jesus) we might become the righteous of God.It is all by grace that God send His son who are nothing but righteous to take away our sin so that we can be righteous with God.God accept us and love us no matter who we are because of His grace ~Amazing Grace~

2 Corinthians 5:13
13If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.
It simply means we should be crazy when we talk about Jesus!! btw,I can't remember the way he elaborated it..too fast..can't catch it..haha..
Lastly,we should MAKE HIS NAME FAME IN OUR GENERATION!!!!

passion tour (by alister)

2008-08-10T07:55:00.001-07:00

Passion World Tour 2008 is in KL - Sunway Convention Centre. We're already there after Sunday Service..and got tired even before the conference started. I took a nap after we got our seats while waiting for it to start. Lights off..then the screen starts with some introduction. Next minute Chris Tomlin was on stage singing - leading us to a great praise and worship session. Charlie Hall was good too. Good songs and nice music. We sang, shouted, clapped our hands, we jumped, cried and prayed - all to glorify His wonderful Name. Louie Giglio was good with his sermon. Fast and accurate. We are definitely touched by the 'fruitcake' story. I cried. Thank you for sharing it to us.

The whole place is filled with God's people and simply makes me wonders how awesome God is. Bringing people from all points of earth and worship Him together as Ephesians 4:5-6 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Whatever I think is impossible, God says "I'm possible".

Passion team is based on Isaiah 26:8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.
To make His name renown (unending fame) to all nations.

2 Corinthians 5:13 If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.
Oh yea..are you crazy for God? Spread the craziness around. For we are to make people around us crazy for God as well.

Passion!

2008-08-04T08:11:00.000-07:00

Hey Yo All!!!

It's been a while... haha...
I'm here to say my piece about Passion KL.
Instead of writing alot.. I am just going to use two songs sung during that night.
Elaborate a little and you guyz can fill in the gaps yourself (=

God Of This City

You're the God of this city

You're the King of these people

You're the Lord of this nation

You are

Verse 2:

You’re the light in this darkness

You’re the hope to the hopeless

You’re the peace to the restless

You are

Pre Chorus:

There is no one like our God

Chorus:

Greater things have yet to come

Greater things are still to be done

In this city

Greater things have yet to come

Greater things are still to be done here

Notes: The title says it all.... Its wonderful to be able to proclaim that our God is the God
of this city. I mean wow... to be able to say that without getting stoned to death?
But God isn't just the God of this city. He is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and God
Of this Universe!

Amazing Grace ( My Chains are Gone)

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

Chorus:

My chains are gone, I've been set free.

My God, My Savior has ransomed me.

And like a flood his mercy reigns.

Unending love, amazing grace

Verse 2:
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!

Verse 3:
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Verse 4:
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be forever mine.
(Will be forever mine)
(You are forever mine)Notes: Probably one of the songs that had been heard, sung by all in this world.
The lyrics are in itself a powerful proclamation of God's Promise and wonderful Grace
We can never understand Grace. Grace as said by the speaker of that night ( i forgot his name)

"Its not US trying to do something to GET to GOD. But GOD doing something to GET TO US.
That my friends... is Grace."

I mean, wow... what kinda god does that? only our Lord the savior who gave His only Son, Jesus Christ
The rightful and blameless one to be wronged for us. Need I say more? On the Contra ire, Grace
left me speachless.

God bless.

p/s: Those who went for Passion.. Don't forget to pray for Jakarta. We want them to have what we had
last Sunday. Pray hard for them as Manila had prayed for us. Go one step further and pray for as
many cities as you can think of!

july youth article - kindness (prepared by chermayne)

2008-08-02T23:21:00.000-07:00

5th July 2008

On this Saturday, we started our journey on another Fruit of the Spirit, kindness.

Uncle Charles said that kindness is to take action in filling up another's needs. If you do, the person would feel a sense of worth and value. You'd be providing hope. He defined it as "Power to meet one's needs". Kindness has the power to change one's life... or even the world!

We then watched a short clip taken from a movie. It was about a teacher who came into class asking his students what the world meant to them and how often they thought of the outside world. He then asked " What do you think the world expects from you? ". One of his students answered by saying " Nothing i guess... we're just kids. ". The teacher then gives them an assignment to think of ideas of how to change the world and put it to action. The class started to complain that it would be hard and pretty crazy. But the teacher replies, " It may be hard and crazy... but possible. ".

After the clip Uncle Charles introduced to us steps in doing that "assignment" given:

1. Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
That way, you would see the world in a different way.

2. Do not expect anything in return.
Our reward would be great in heaven.

3. Be willing to give up your convenience.
Get out of your comfort zone!

4. Remember there were people who were kind to you.
It would help you want to be kind too.

12th July 2008

The topic on today’s sharing was something quite different. We talked about self-centeredness which Josiah defines as, “The opposite of kindness”. He told us that all of us are self-centered simply because we aren’t perfect and that we are all sinners. It is all part of our sinful nature. Another reason for why we may be self-centered is because this world is like a competition of the survivor of the fittest. People are worried that if they give to others, they would be taken granted for or there wouldn’t be enough for themselves. Therefore, it is really hard to follow God’s will. But, if we live by the Spirit, it would be much easier; we would develop the fruit of kindness. Obviously, we cannot be exactly like Jesus, but it would help a lot if we are a lot more like Him and walk closer with Him. In Josiah’s words, we should all learn to be “others-centered” even though it is a tough world we live in.

19th July 2008

For today’s youth, we had it in the afternoon because we wanted a combined service with the Girls and Boys Brigade. The message that Uncle Charles brought to us was a short one on “Attitude”. He told us that we all had a choice of what attitude we want to be in. If you choose to be sad and gloomy, you can be sad and gloomy. But what benefit does it bring to you or others around you? Therefore, trying to be in a positive attitude is better.

Uncle Charles then gave us steps to help us develop a better attitude:

Start speaking positive words.

Always try to look for something good.

Beware of what is in your heart and mind.

26th July 2008

Today’s youth was a little special. We watched a show called “Pay It Forward”.

It started with a guy being held hostage by a kidnapper. A reporter then decided to go and find out what had happened. The kidnapper, trying to escape, drove a car out of the house and crashed into the reporter’s car. A guy then came up to the reporter, gave him his keys to his expensive, new car, and drove the reporter’s crashed car away. The man showed an act of extreme kindness.

The show then wound back to 4 months before this incident.

A new Social Studies teacher walks into a class full of Middle School children. He then asks a questions like, “What does the world mean to you?” “What can you do for the world?” After some ‘low self-esteem’ answers, the teacher picked up a chalk and wrote on the blackboard, “Think of an idea of how to change the world and put it into action.”

A certain boy named Trevor then decides to perform an act of kindness and invites a beggar to stay at his house. He then tells the beggar to pay it forward. The beggar paid it forward to someone else; the ‘someone’ else pays it forward to another person, etc.

So imagine if one tells another to pay it forward after an act of kindness, how quickly kindness would spread; which was exactly what happened in the show. Soon, everyone was acting kind towards each other. Trevor was then interviewed on his idea about paying it forward.

The story though, had a sad ending. Trevor was accidentally stabbed while trying to protect a boy from bullies. His interview was screened on TVs. Many people then stood outside his house with candles and flowers to pay their respects for the one who decided that he could change the world by performing one act of kindness and asking for it to be paid forward.

june youth article - joy (prepared by chermayne)

2008-08-02T23:18:00.000-07:00

7th June 2008

This is the first week we started on learning about the Fruit of the Spirit, joy.

For this Saturday, we youth watched a movie called Patch Adams. It was about a guy called Hunter Patch Adams. In the beginning of the show, he admitted himself into the mental hospital for he thought he needed help. During the time he was there, he found out that he enjoyed helping people by helping one of the patients there and that by helping another, he helped himself in a way.

He then went to medical school. He didn't like the style of teaching in the school for he thought they were all too serious. He believed in his saying, "Use humour to take away pain." the principal however, didn't like his idea. Because of his longing to treat patients, he and his friends tarted a home where people could just come and go to be treated and not have to pay for the bills as he realized that many people don't go to the hospital for they cannot afford to pay for the medical bills.

A friend of his is thenered by one of their patients which wasn't mentally stable. Patch Adams becomes extremely upset and found that there was no point in helping people anymore. He was also all out of humour. But one day as he was sitting and thinking, a butterfly reminded him of life and then fufilled many patient's dreams.

The faculty advisor then expelles him for his "Excessive happiness..". Patch brought the matter up to the school board. He said that, "A doctor isn't just someone who delays death but improves the quality of life in the last few minutes..".

He then graduates and starts his own hospital. Doctors nowadays use his methods of doctoring of becoming a friend more than just a doctor and his "excessive happiness".

14th June 2008

For this week, we did a review on the movie "Patch Adams" we watched last week.

Elaine started in saying that, "The definition of joy is deep or execessive happiness.... We can also find joy in weird places...". We then looked up Psalm 51:8 which shows that we can experience joy even in pain, weakness, and trial.

We then discovered another point; joy is contagious. One can be strengthened by those who are full of joy. Like Patch who finds he is healed by healing another. Patch also affected many people in the movie because of the joy within him. Therefore, it works the same for us. Us having the Fruit of joy can affect many lives around us. Also, we learnt that if you focus on the problem, you'll never find the solution.

We then shared about what each of us learnt from the movie. Jonathan said he learnt about being passionate in whatever you do, Josiah said joy overcomes sorrow, Charity shared that sometimes you have to ban rules to help, and Chermayne said that it is good to help others as you can help yourself in return.

Elaine then said that "Patch Adams took the time to know his patients more personally..." which meant that we should take the time to listen to others. Douglas shared that people tell another about their problems because they just want someone to listen. If one cannot talk to another about their problems, he or she has God to talk to.

The sharing ended with joy being found in the weirdest places. Like finding joy after failing an exam, talking to a stranger, spending time with friends, going home after school, magic tricks, going online on Facebook, shopping, and even falling sick.

21st June 2008

Today was a little special. Pastor did word for Phos (when the both ICUs are combined). He started off his sermon by asking us to share our most joyful incident we can remember throughout the whole of 2008. There were answers like birthday, coming back to HLLC, exam results, and listening to his first baby cry.

Pastor again pointed out like Elaine did, that joy is very contagious. But he also added that sorrow is too. He said that we should spread the joy that the Spirit has given us. Joy that surround us daily like money, power, etc. do not last forever for the world changes. But the joy that the Spirit gives us would last forever. It is even evident in times of sorrow and pain because one day we know that we would go back to be with the Lord forever.

Pastor then gave us steps to how we can gain joy; he introduced to us the 4 I's. The first 'I' was " Invite Jesus into your life ", the second 'I' was " Insteel God's Word in your heart ", the third 'I' was " Dont insult God ", and the fourth 'I' was " Don't ignore God ".

Pastor ended by saying that joy is a by-product of obedience.

28th June 2008

Today's Word started of by everyone sharing about their joy through the week.

We then were told about the story of the chief tax collector, Zaccheus (Luke 19:1).

We were then asked the question "Can money buy joy?". There were answers like no, temporary joy and physical joy. And yes it is true, money cannot buy joy. Neither can it buy health, a happy family, happiness, or your way to heaven. Also, having money, doesn't make as any more righteous.

Chee Wai defined true joy as Living with Christ. Because when we live and walk closely with Him, we can find true, eternal joy. In conclusion, we should all spread the joy. The joy that God wants us to have and wants us to tell the world about.

POWER TO MEET CHURCH'S NEEDS...

belonging

2008-08-01T04:45:00.001-07:00

it's another gathering

attendent: Douglas, Alister, Sheryn, Tamie, Elaine, Josiah and Chee Wai)

We are belong to God = We are belong to church (1 Corinthians 12:4-27)

In these few verses, it has strongly emphesize 1 word, that is ONE.
One = Unity = One body
One body have many different parts, yet all are joinning together as One (cant be seperate)

1. relationship with each other

a) we are all connected to each other

b) we are bound to each other

c) whether we know that person or like that person in the church, we are still in ONE.

d) when one part of the church suffer, the entire church will suffer (eg. if you fail to love or just hate somebody in church, all of us will be influenced. we will not able to build a strong relationship with others too)

e) like you having a selesema, not only your nose will suffer, but your entire body will suffer (Sore throat, fever, bodu ache)

2. responsible to each other

a) every people plays different roles in the church be it in small or big scale

b) different people with different gift and brings different contribution to the church

c) even there is huge differences between us, there will be in unity among us because God is with us

d) we has a responsible to perform certain contribution to each other through our gift (if we refuse to share or contribute ourselves to others, actually we are restrain other rights to receive)

e) hence we all have responsibility to each other, mutual contribution to each other (no selfishness)

So, what does it mean we are belong to church???

we are belong to each other without any selfishness and individualism (always focus I, me, myself, always self centered, independent from others, self-suffienciency and freedoom to depend yourself). we are here to show kindness to each other.

...POWER TO MEET OTHER NEEDS...

which way is up? (ephesians 4:7-16)

2008-07-17T05:41:00.000-07:00

1. What is the purpose of the church???
a) Church is to glorify God
- share Christ to the community
- serve the greatest commandment
- testify the name of Jesus through our word and deeds (1 Peter 2:4-10)
- become living testimony for Jesus

b) Church is to grow
- here is not emphesis on the numbers (than what is the purpose for HLLC???)
- Church is like an organism, a living entity which can grow
- to attain full measure of Christ
- to be in unity in faith and knowledge
* a church can grow rapidlly only if there is unity among all the members and the ministry
* for example, is the youth ministry grow very fast, however the church is not growing, it will create a tension because the ministry cant "sync" with the church

c) to edify
- edification here is not about self edification but rather "church (group of people)" edification

2. Spiritual growth of an individual is important, however the growth of CHURCH is equally vital
a) if only a person grow, the CHURCH is not growing there is no impact

b) a group of poor football team with lack of teamwork and with only a star striker, i dont think this team can excel

c) Hence a church must move and grow with a team

3. A CHURCH is to gather together to give each other
a) apostle and prophet - fundamental of the church
b) pastor and teacher - to care and to direct the church
c) evengelist - to share the word of God
d) a CHURCH cant grow with only these few people, but all of us with different gifting and character is the major factor and source to grow the CHURCH
e) all of us have a role to play and to contribute in the growth of the CHURCH

4. So what is our role???

TEACH EACH OTHER WITH LOVE (EPHESIANS 4:15)

This is amazing... tamed lion

2008-07-10T19:30:00.000-07:00

Information taken from wikipedia.

Christian was a lion purchased in 1969 by two Australians living in London, John Rendall and Anthony 'Ace' Bourke (sometimes erroneously cited as Ace Berg) — from Harrods department store.

Rendall, his girlfriend Jennifer Mary, Bourke and Unity Jones cared for the lion as it grew too large to remain their pet. After meeting Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna, who starred in the film Born Free, Rendall and Bourke agreed to have Christian sent to Kenya with the assistance of conservationist George Adamson — in order that Christian be rehabilitated into the wild at Kora National Reserve.

After Christian had been in Kenya a year, Rendall and Bourke returned and visited their former pet. The animal recognized them, reared up, grasped and nuzzled both Randell and Bourke. The following video of the event received widespread dissemination around 2007-2008, more than 35 years later.

Video taken from Godtube.com

This is really amazing to me. I thought to myself... if it was a man, the man would probably go insane in the wild and not recognizes his caretaker and master when he returns for visit.

Do we remember and recogizes our Master when He returns? Will we run towards Him and grap Him, hug Him and kisses Him? Are we like Christian - the lion? Are we Christian?

Butt Writing: A Start for Saturday Night Phos

2008-07-07T05:13:00.000-07:00

From the left: Mark, Vanessa, Andros, Brian, Josiah, Cherish, Amelia, Amber and Chee Wai

Well, I must say, a great opening for Saturday night Phos. Butt writing really kicks off the night. You guys really have the moooves......Hehe... Hope you all don't mind me naming out your names one by one ho!? :P

SO, have you show and express kindness to someone today? Don't think about wierd or crazy, think, "It is possible." It's all in the mind.

How?

1) Put your feet in their shoe: Start to be sensitive towards other people's need and put yourself in thier situation.

2) Do not expect anything in return: Help others without thinking of having anything in return. Give unconditionally.

3) Be willing to give up your convenience: Get out of your comfortable situation. You may not plan for it, but he or she needs it, and you have the power to give.

4) Remember the kindness which other people have given and shown to you. Thus you should do likewise to others who are in need.

2. church definition according to the bible (1 peter 2: 4-10)
a) church is defined as a group of people who believe in Jesus
b) church is defined as a group of people belong to God
c) hence church = people, therefore church is not equivalent to building
d) e.g. church meet togather to pray and to fellowship with God (do u get it??? cant u can find us we will luv to share it to u)

3. 1 peter 2: 4-8
a) in order to come to Him we need to trust Him...u will always willing to come and share something to someone whom u really trusted (like ur friends and parents) and u will not share anything to a stranger
b) who is those who reject to stone??? those who rejected Jesus...a stone is still a "cheap stone" to them and they never will cherish the stone
c) who is those who receive the stone??? those who accept Jesus...a stone will tranform from a stone to a LIVING STONE in our lives that we will cherish it the most
d) this stone will help us to build a NEW HOUSE

4. 1 peter 2: 9-10
a) we are a royal priesthood - what a privilege we had to be called a ROYAL PRIEST who able to access to God, meet God and to freely enter into HOLY OF HOLIES...
b) we are holy nation - a seperate nation which consist of all believes in the world...a completely different from the people in the world...THE CHOSEN ONE...
c) belonging - we are BELONG to God NOT OURSELVES...that's why u need to take a very good care of urself...u r merely a steward and not owner of ur body...understand???

CONCLUSION

CHURCH = PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GOD = CHURCH = PEOPLE = SERVICE TO CHURCH

SHALOM....

Month of Joy

2008-06-18T02:52:00.000-07:00

Well, my very first post, although being a system admin of the site.. Kekeke... Let's do a recap shall we? We've gone through the movie "Patch Adams" and what can we learn from that movie? Quite a lot actually... With regards to joy? Well, I will just repeat what I've shared earlier in the ICU (well, modified version).

Scenario 1:
You had a great day. Your parent decided to give you an extra RM50 for you to spend this week. And so you come to Phos on Sat nite, happy and thinking you can have a good mamak session afterwards. When you reach there, the first person you see is me. Yes, me. And I had a very very bad day. So, I decided not to be nice and be miserable.

You say "Hi! Doug!". Guess what?

I replied "What do you want??" in the most mean and miserable voice.

How do you think you would respond? I'm guessing the "miserable-ness" might have transferred to you. And if you get miserable, the next person who gets in contact with you will get infected as well.

Scenario2:
You had a bad day. Your parent decided to cut your allowance by RM50 for this week cause you didn't sleep the whole night while trying to level up your character online. And so you come to Phos on Sat nite, feel moody. Well, you didn't almost wanted to come. When you reach there, the first person you see is me.

Yes, me. And I had a very, very bad day as well. But, I decided not to be miserable and trust God with my problem. Instead of being Mr. Grumpy, I chose to ask from God for some joy in the midst of the cloudy skies.

And so, when you saw me, I said "Wazzzaaaaap!!!" and put on the most charming and nice smile you have ever seen on my face.

Guess what? Your "miserable-ness" have vanish for that split second. And if continue to cheerfully talk to you the next 2 minutes, you would have been infected with the joy as well. Suddenly, your missing RM50 seems a bit lesser of a burden during that time. And if you choose to carry that joy with you, you're gonna bless the next person as well.

You know what is the one thing that other people notice about Christians? It's their joy that makes a difference. So, what do you do choose today? Be clouded with the problems of your life? Or put it in God's hands and let Him give you joy in return to spread it to others...

KL distric walk hunt

2008-05-01T05:02:00.001-07:00

it was an awesome day and tiring day for me and committee members...it was the first ever time that the 8 Lutheran churches gathered togather in Sri petaling for a fellowship...i personally perceive that the fellowship was wonderful, the environment was very warm, the people there were very sporting and participative in all activities and above all the number of participant was very encouraging...the event was interesting too, we had a time of worship led by Christ Lutheran church, line dancing by our church for a warm up session...

the most exciting and most anticipate event was the walk hunt organized and planned by our treasure hunter expert doug ho...he is all the time who always torturing us to walk and walk and walk, think and think and think, and to observe, observe all the time with full of alertness...it's difficult especially those who was the first timer...i think you will hate him because of his "creativity"...to tell you the truth, you need to be veri veri patient or else you will definitely will give up due to walking and thinking under the extreme weather and tired...we walk through only 4 main streets which aledi took us for 2 hours...really lotzz of thing he can think and asked...fortunately this time i never participate but i went along with my camera, following the groups and capture some good and candid shoots...hahaha...
u will think that my job was simple for the day, top tell you teh truth, i woke up on 6.45 and pick up eugene for pack up important PA stuff and to setup in the hall...very the tiring...had to set it back in church and ended all things bout 3pm...by that time eveybody was enjoying in their own house or aledi took a nap...i wana to appreciate and give thankzzz thousand of thank you to eugene who help me to dismental the drum set in the church, set it up on the hall, patiently dismental it again and resetup last-again back to the church...there were 4 rounds for each of us...i also thank to my helper, sheryn, alister, doug (driver of van to transport the equipment) and jonathan...logistics is quite a tiring job without a good groups of helper...thank god i had a group of faithful and teachable team...i truly enjoying to work with them...Jon and sheryn, i think both of you are capable to comprehence greater task, jzzz need more confident and courage...keep it up...

above all, i wana to give a great thank you to our God who is faithful and answer to our prayer by granting us a good weather and protection throughout the event...Thank you God...

It's not only a visitation, it's a lesson.

2008-04-27T21:34:00.000-07:00

Contentment...

The secondary school children gets RM2 allowance per day.
The primary school children gets RM1 allowance per day.
Are you complaining about your RM5 per day?

They have simple meals,
just enough to feed their hunger.
Are you complaining about going to 'Fatty Mok' every week?

'Second hand' clothes are their new clothes,
They wear clothes that someone has worn before.
Are you complaining about clothes bought from Carrefour?

Chances for them to go Form 6 are slim,
For some are even struggling with Form 1.
Are you complaining about going to TAR college?

They have difficulties in buying books, pens and papers.
Are you complaining about your computer, your laptops?

All of them have to share TV and radio.
Are you complaining about your handphone, MP3 player and your PSP?

Every day, they have to clean up the house on their own.
Are you complaining about your maid not cleaning the toilet, your clothes, your shoes?

Chinese and Indian, they live together.
Are you complaining about your sister and brother disturbing you in your room?

Above all these,
their parents are not with them,
their parents are not by their side.
They did not have the love and care from their parent.
Are you honoring and obeying your parent?

Cherish and be contented.

Stop complaining, start complimenting.
Stop craving, start sharing.
Stop hurting, start caring.

Who Am I?

2008-04-26T08:29:00.000-07:00

Who Am I
Casting Crowns

Verse 1

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I?
That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart,

Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are,

Chorus

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am..
I am Yours.

Verse 2

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again,
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain, and calm the storm in me,

Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are.

[Bridge]
Whom shall I fear?Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.I am yours.

A very meaningful song. If you are ever questioning yourself just who are you in this world. I believe this song is the song for you!

Children see, children do.

Is this what we pass on to the next generation?

Is this what you carry on from the previous generation?

Check and re-examine yourself.

Start making a change - for the next generation.

Since this month's teaching is all about Love and we are all thought to love and be loved.

Here's another way that you can show this wonderful fruit of the spirit. Besides showing love to the people around us, we can also show our love and concern to our earth.
April 22nd is Earth Day. This year is all about climate change.

Global warming is happening even as I type now. Have you done your part to show that you love our Earth?

Well God created the Earth for us to live in and to enjoy it. So I believe that we should also do our part to conserve it. I don't think we would like it if one day God ask us "what has happen to the Earth that I created for all of you?" As for me I wouldn't know how to answer that.

Soo... start doing your part to show some love and concern towards it!!

Even a small little step makes a big difference.

Love them...

We've heard about LOVE. However, love is not just a theory, it's more than just talking and hearing about it. Love itself requires us to act. Have you been loving the people around you.

Let us prepare our hearts for this coming Saturday's visitation to orphanage. We want to love them, we also need love from them. Most of us do not know how it feels to live without parents. There are much we can learn from them.

Appreciate your parent, love them.
