Beijing Trip

Just came back from Beijing last night.
It has been a good 11days and so good to be home again.

Tis a trip full of experience ...
People got healed of their sickness when we prayed for them...
There was this man who was healed without anyone laying hands on him ...
God is really real...

Life

Life ... Life ... Life ...
What is it?
How to tell you of it?
L - Longing for love to happen
I - Insanity to pass through a crazy day
F - Feelings to cling to authentic life
E - Embracing all and everyone that cross the paths
LIFE
1 LIFE is all we have
Learn to love
Learn to be insane
Learn to feel
Learn to embrace
Else you will have missed
Missed your life
Missed your day
Live and die
Without someone to cry
Sad
Sad
Sad
Happy is he who has someone to cry
Cry at his funeral

Decline of Seriousness

I was reading Tacitus' Dialogus and one part of it was this, "Quis enim ignorat et eloguentism et ceteras artes descivisse ab illa vetere gloria non inopia hominum, sed desidia iuventutis et neglegentia parentum et inscientia praecipientium et oblivione moris antiqui?" This makes me reflect on the situation of many Christians in Singapore. There seems to be such luke-warmness in them, especially so among the so called second generation Christians. They do not seem to be serious about their faith and relationship with God. It makes me fear that this generation might not be able to locate people to pass the baton to who will continue the race. Will Singapore Church have a future?
I think we have to guard against laziness among our young people, the carelessness of parents, the ignorance of teachers and the decay of 'old-fashioned' moral and virtues. We must help our children to be diligent in their spiritual formation / discipline, parents must be examples for their own children, teachers must be trained to provide 'professionalism' and a return and emphasis on good old Christian virtues. Unless we are diligent in making sure that these happen in our churches, Singapore churches may soon be in trouble.
