Writing Reading Christianity http://god-dependent.blogdrive.com/archive/446.html Wed, 19 Sep 2007 09:49:36 GMT Dear all, Wow, I can't believe my last post was 9 months ago! Apologies for not posting anything for so long, as I've been busy with work. I want to thank you for leaving comments of concern or even emailing me (you know who you are). I am deeply touched. I'm blessed to have you all in my life... Anyway, just want to update this blog myself regarding something that is new in my life - I'm engaged. I thank God and am amazed in how faithful He is in answering my heart's desire. The truth is, I sometimes find this unbelievable as this is happening to me! Too good to be true…All I did was to...

We rely on our own strength rather than on God who wants us to cast our cares upon Him. In truth, He is the one who knows best how to help us with our problems. We can be there for our brothers and sisters in Christ, yet we are to commit their burdens to the Lord, and not putting those yoke upon our shoulders. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we should encourage them to commit their burdens to Him who is there for them. It is not the Lord's will to drain us with other people's problems, it is...

Misinterpreting God's will isn't just misleading, but can be disastrous in jeopardizing our walk in living out God's perfect and specific will for each of our lives. I need more discernment in understanding His will, not just hearing from Him. All I can do is to do the above, trusting Him to lead me each step of the way, and that He'll be faithful to lead me back on the right track should I walk astray. Of course, not to miss out on the requirements of being obedient on our part...

Please don’t continue to read unless you truly want to be affected by my negative emotions – be warned. I know most of my post that are written by me reveals that I’m a person with a pessimist mindset. Lately (actually it has been a few months) that I’ve been feeling rather “down” in my life, emotionally, spiritually, etc… Feeling rather drained out right now. Trusting God isn’t easy, lest living for Him. Not that I will give up my salvation, it’s just that in my opinion, we may not have all we...

To keep you all updated, I've been encouraged by senior pastor and my youth pastor to take up this Living Sacrifice program, a one year course where I'll serve the church in whatever ministry that needs people, yet not considered as an employment thus they don't give salary but reasonable amount of allowance. I've gotten the form and yet to sign up for it. I’ve also been interviewed by Pastor Peter who is in charge of this Living Sacrifice program. What I'm concerned now is regarding the financial part, and whether this is...

Yesterday was the day I received my final allowance from my dad, which also means that he will no longer support me financially because I told him that I want to work, even serving God in ministries, in church. He is not in favor with it, inclusive of the idea of me going to bible school, even though he is a believer himself, believing in the same God yet from a different perspective...

The two men who stood beside me in the baptism pool are associate pastors of my church. Pastor Peter Ong on my right and Pastor Timothy on my left. The baptism pool is in the sanctuary. Guess what? There is a one leg dead cockroach in the pool! Luckily I closed my mouth! Lol! As for another picture is me sharing my testimony before baptism. Please ignore my pimple yes? Be blessed! In Him, ~Lawrence~ My Declaration Before Baptism (On my right is Associate Pastor Peter Ong, while on my left is Associate Pastor Timothy) This is me...

I know what is the right thing to do - to surrender. You and I know it isn't an easy thing to do, and if I really do so, I hope it is done out of first and foremost - love for Him, out of loving Him above everything else here on earth. Yet even this alone I have doubt that I really love Him as my first love. I do not know, as I know it is possible to do what has to be done, yet not out of love, and there are times I’ve doing things this way in ministry. For example, it’s really not my character that I...
