reflections.

Love is the greatest preacher.

Respect - The moment you lose respect for each other , the relationship will start to go downhill. teacher-student, parent-child , husband and wife.

It's not how ,many you know , it's how much you care for them.

HE preached to thousands about his terminal illness and tugged at hearts with a hit song.

The problem is the pastor wasn't dying at all

Michael Guglielmucci, who inspired hundreds of thousands of young Christians with his terminal cancer "battle", has been exposed as a fraud.

Guglielmucci, whose parents established Edge Church International, an Assemblies of God church at O'Halloran Hill in Adelaide's southern suburbs, now is seeking professional help.

Earlier this year, Mr Guglielmucci released a hit song, Healer , which was featured on Sydney church Hillsong's latest album.

The song debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA charts.

It since has become an anthem of faith for believers, many of whom are suffering their own illness and were praying for a miracle for Mr Guglielmucci, who has claimed for two years to be terminally ill.

In one church performance that has attracted 300,000 hits on YouTube, he performs his hit song with an oxygen tube in his nose.

It appears Mr Guglielmucci, who was a pastor with one of Australia's biggest youth churches, Planetshakers, may even have deceived his own family.

"This news has come as a great shock to everyone including, it seems, his own wife and family," Hillsong general manager George Aghajanian said in an email to his congregation yesterday.

"Michael has confirmed that he is not suffering with a terminal illness and is seeking professional help in Adelaide with the support of his family. We are asking our church to pray for the Guglielmucci family during this difficult time."

The Advertiser was told last night Mr Guglielmucci may release a statement on the situation.

The Australian Christian Church said Mr Guglielmucci's credentials immediately were suspended once he told the national executive that his cancer claims were "untrue".

"The national executive is taking this matter very seriously and is awaiting the results of medical tests before determining the full extent of the discipline that will be imposed upon him," vice president Alun Davies said.

"We are very concerned for the many people who have been or will be hurt by Michael's actions.

"We encourage all of our churches to pray for all those affected."

丝路

如果流浪 是你的天赋 那么你 一定是我最美的追逐
如果爱情 是你的游牧 拥有过 是不是该满足
谁带我踏上孤独的丝路 追逐你的脚步
谁带我离开孤独的丝路 感受你的温度
我将眼泪流成天山上面的湖 让你疲倦时能够扎营停驻
羌笛声胡旋舞 为你笑为你哭 爱上你的全部 放弃我的全部 爱上了你之后 我开始领悟
陪你走了一段 最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后 我从来不哭 谁是谁的幸福 我从来不在乎 谁是谁的旅途 我只要你记住

星星就是 穷人的珍珠
你的笑 支撑着我虔诚的最初
狂风沙石 我单薄衣服 穿越过亚细亚的迷雾爱上你的全部 放弃我的全部


爱上了你之后 我开始领悟 陪你走了一段 最唯美的国度 爱上了你之后 我从来不哭 谁是谁的幸福 我从来不在乎 谁是谁的旅途 我只要你记住


云破日出 你是那道光束 带着平凡的我 走过奇迹旅途

爱上你的全部 放弃我的全部
爱上了你之后 我开始领悟 陪你走了一段 最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后 我从来不哭 谁是谁的幸福 我从来不在乎
谁是谁的旅途 我只要你记住


Can anyone share with me his/her feel on this song?

就算失望不能绝望

If you would cry , I will keep your tears and bottle them up.

If you lose all your hair , don't worry I had them accounted for.

If you see a set of footprints only , don't worry ,know that I carried you on the way.

If you run , know that a cloud of witness is cheering you on.

If nobody understands you, know that I fully understands, because I know all the intents and thoughts.

If you feel hurt, know that I borne the pain for you. I can feel the pain.

If you know I borne the pain , can you give it to me?



If I say, would you hear?

If I said , would you do it?

If I leave, would you bear it?

If you know what I done for you , would you not do it again?



If I have loved you , would you love him/her?

If I have loved you , would you love them ?

If I forgive you , would you forgive them ?



If you can have a fresh start today , can you give me your yesterday ?

If your today's failed , will you still love me tomorrow?

If I'm coming back tomorrow , what would you do today?


If your brethen fell , can you pick him up?

If I provide , would you give?

If you have success , would you remember me?

If you fail , can you try it again , with me?

沉默的羔羊

当别人误解我的时候 我总是沉默
沉默对我来说其实是一种反驳
当世界遗忘我的时候 我一个人过
幸福对我来说其实是一种传说
当敌人越来越多 朋友都离开我
当爱情变成一种负担却无法解脱

我不是沉默的羔羊 我有话要讲
给我一点酒 让我有勇气 向你吐露我的悲伤
我不是沉默的羔羊 我也有梦想 当明天太阳升起 照在我的脸上 我一样能散发光芒

羔羊也会怒吼 沉默是一种力量 你是不是和我一样 在现实中学会坚强

我不是沉默的羔羊 我有话要讲
给我一点酒 让我有勇气 向你吐露我的悲伤
我不是沉默的羔羊 我也有梦想 当明天太阳升起 照在我的脸上 我一样能散发光芒

Hello everyone!

I truly agree with Jin.

Recent weeks, Pastors been preaching about prayers. Our life's quality can only be determined by our prayer life. Let us really pray more not only for ourselves but also for our cell group. The cell group belong to us. Apart from praying, let us really inculcate other spiritual disciplines such as fasting!

So guys, let us really pray more.
Lets start seeing growth in our connect group that our seed sown on good grounds will grow okay! I love you guys but don't wanna see the same people every week.. hahahah

NEW BLOOD.

Lets carry a new burden, greater compassionate (:

okay. this is rly random.
last week during service, pst kong encouraged us to be prayer warriors right?
during service, i felt a burden for the cell group.
i feel that all of us, as members, we can start to want to grow the cg.
the cg belongs to all of us, not only br, peg fk etc.
so why dun we start praying MORE for the cg during our quiet time?
we should even fast as a cg and perhaps start a prayer chain.
in our own connect groups, as a whole cg.

i myself, am not contented with seeing e same people every week.
i really hope to see new friends every week.
if each of us bring 1 friend every 3 months, how much will our cg grow?

i, Tan Pei Jin, take ownership of N246.
and im working to bring my friends to Christ.
cuz i dun wanna hide in the 4 walls of the church.
cuz i wanna be a labourer, cuz i wanna be a woman after God's own heart, where His will is mine. ((:

hello dearest members of N246! (:

took quite some time before the pictures were uploaded.
so it was an awesome time of fellowship and a great celebration for bingren!
so these were the pics taken then,
peggie you've got more of it right..

Healthy Living!

Hello!

Let's have a fortnight sunday afternoon outing from now on! Our very first outing day would be on 18th May 2pm, and we will be going prawning at Bishan! I think prawning is the latest fad, haha... but it sounds fun. Prices i heard was $30 for 3 hours, so i guess two ppl can share one rod, so you will only need to pay $15. After that we can have a small bbq there and we can have a "who can catch the largest prawn" competition. Haha..

Subsequent outings are yet to be confirmed. I thought of a few things that we could do
1) Badminton
2) Beach games @ Sentosa
3) Tree Top Walk at Mac Ritchie
4) Tennis
5) Cycling + Blading @ East Coast/ West Coast
6) Hiking at Bukit Timah
7) Flying Kite
8) Basketball/Soccer/Captain's ball

Yup. If you have any ideas can contribute as well. Do think about it and feedback to me which activity you are most keen on having in the upcoming weeks. Let's not just be strong spiritually and mentally, but let's be physically fit as well!

Food for thought

Hi guys!

Haha... its been a long long time since i last blogged. Anyway i just want to share something that really blessed me.

Last week during EOGM, Pastor was talking to us about having a discipler in our lives. A discipler is like our spiritual father, someone that guides us and corrects us. Everyone needs a discipler; if Pastor Kong himself is discipled, how much more we? My question to you today is, who is your discipler?

Many people told Pastor Kong that their discipler is Benny Hinn, Billy Graham etc. But none of them have a personal relationship with these people. They only READ all their material etc. However, reading someone's notes/books etc doesnt make one your discipler. Pastor shared some things to check whether someone is your discipler. If reading etc is enough, then why do we still go to church? Why dont we go watch online service all the time? It is because there will be minimal impartation. Elisha was around Elijah all the time. Jesus twelve disciples, especially His closest three were always with him. It is through relationship that impartation flows.

1) Does this person pray with you individually? If a person doesnt pray with you, he cannot be your mentor. Prayer builds intimacy.

2) Has this person shared a Word of Revelation with you in private?

3) Do you physically serve together in ministry?

If the answer to the above question is "no", may i suggest to you that you could be spiritually "fatherless"; you will never be able to grow and to breakthrough in your spiritual life. Let's really not be complacent in our spiritual lives. Find yourself a discipler today!

I am a friend of God

Wah, been so long since I've blogged here about videos. haha. And it seems like this blog is having some cobwebs liaox.

Well, hope this blog will kick start another round of super and power blogging!

Chanced upon this Korean version of "Friend of God".



and for those who wanna listen to English version:



Moreover, the English ver of the song, do note how big the church is! It's a new building for that American church, and seems like a stadium to me. Our future building will be like that! =)

Takes a long time to load, but worth the wait!

Be Blessed!

hello dearest members,
some snap shots during cell droup fellowship!
enjoy! and have fun! (:
continue to fellowship and stay bonded!!

Be Ready for Easter!

Hi guys,

Should you think of a creative way to intro our drama and reach out, can refer your friends to the trailer url. Happy harvesting!



And for those who are wondering about the drama at Jurong West:

Hey lovely members!
so heres the lyrics of the song, which i shared with you guys during cell group meeting last week. yep! anyway, if you're wondering how the melody of the song is like, you can play the song at the end of this post! i hope you guys like it! Enjoy.. (:

YOU ARE MY ALL IN ALL

You are my strength
when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all

Seeking you like a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is your name

Taking my cross,
my sin my shame
Raising again I praise your name
You are my all in all

When I fall down you pick me up
When I run dry you fill my com
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is your name

Strength Of A Man

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.
It's in the width of his arms that encircle you.

The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It's in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It's how good a buddy he is with his children.

The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It's in how respected he is at home.

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.
It's in how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest.
It's in his heart, that lies within his chest.

The strength of a man isn't how many women he's loved.
It's in being true to one woman.

The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It's in the burdens he can carry.

Woman of Strength

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape, but ...
A woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything, but ...
A woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her, but ...
A woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future, but ...
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman walks surefootedly, but ...
A woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls.

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face, but ...
A woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey, but ...
A woman of strength has faith that in the journey she will become strong.

Communication

Hello!

Guess it has been ages since i last blogged. I have went AWOL for quite some time. Anyway i have been reading this and i felt quite blessed by it, hope that it can be a blessing to you.

N.B. The following is an extraction from Dr John C. Maxwell's newsletter, leadership wired, the Jan issue.

COMMUNICATION – A LEADER’S KEY TO SUCCESS
By Dr. John C. Maxwell


For my whole life, I have opened my car door by inserting a metal key into a physical lock. Now, I can unlock the doors and start the car at the push of a button. It seems like magic to me, but it’s actually a simple application of science.

Keyless entry and keyless ignition are made possible when a transmitter within your key fob communicates with a radio receiver inside the car. Two conditions are necessary for this communication to take place: 1) the transmitter must be set to the same frequency as the receiver, and 2) the transmitter must send a uniquely coded message which the receiver has been programmed in advance to recognize.

Communication acts as a leader’s “keyless entry” into relationships. It can open the mind of an employer, the wallet of investors, and the hearts of loved ones. Talented communicators seem magical when they weave their words together. However, much like the concept of keyless entry, great communication depends on two simple skills—context and delivery. Context attunes a leader to the same frequency as his or her audience. Delivery allows a leader to phrase messages in a language the audience can understand.

As we explore context and delivery, we’ll draw upon Steven K. Scott’s book, The Richest Man Who Ever Lived. In the book, Scott offers commentary on the words of King Solomon, the wealthiest man in history. Renowned for his wisdom, Solomon writings are filled with advice about effective communication.

CONTEXT

Listen before Speaking
“He that answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame unto him.” ~ Proverbs 18:13

Earn the right to be heard by listening to others. Seek to understand a situation before making judgments about it. As the Greek philosopher, Epictetus, observed, “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”

Understand Human Nature
“Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” ~ Proverbs 12:18

Words are powerful, and they can build up or tear down those who hear them. Regardless of your audience or avenue of communication, the following principles enable you to communicate constructively.

People are insecure. Leaders can bestow confidence by demonstrating their trust and belief in a person’s abilities. People want to feel special. Leaders win a loyal following when they are generous with compliments and acts of appreciation. People are looking for a better future. Leaders inspire through an optimistic outlook and words of hope. People are selfish. Leaders learn to motivate when they begin speaking to the needs of their people.

Be Emotionally Aware
“Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day…is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.” ~ Proverbs 25:20

Communicating within context involves taking the emotional temperature of others. Pay attention to facial expressions, voice inflection, and posture. They give clues to a person’s mood and attitude.

DELIVERY

Adopt an Appropriate Tone
“A soft answer turns away wrath but grievous words stir up anger.” ~ Proverbs 15:1

When you’re emotionally aware, you’re halfway to effective communication, but you still have to deliver your words appropriately. Many times it’s not what you say, but how you say it. Adopt a fitting tone to address the emotional state of those around you, and your words will have their desired effect.

Speak Persuasively
“The heart of the wise teaches his mouth and adds persuasiveness to his lips.” ~ Proverbs 16:23

The National Storytelling Festival, held in Jonesborough, Tennessee features some of America’s most captivating communicators. Listen for awhile, and you’ll discover traits that allow them to persuade listeners to take interest in the stories they tell.

Enthusiasm. The storytellers obviously enjoy what they are doing, expressing themselves with joy and vitality. Animation. The presentations are marked by lively facial expressions and gestures. Audience Participation. Almost every storyteller involves the audience in some way, asking listeners to sing, clap, repeat phrases, or do sign language. Spontaneity. None of the storytellers have notes. The festival is truly an oral event. Storytellers didn’t read their stories; they tell them, which allowed for eye contact.

Be Honest
“He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.” ~ Proverbs 10:18

In an effort to persuade, leaders may be tempted to cross the line into manipulation. When doing so, facts may be fabricated or spun deceptively. Lies add complexity to life since the liar has to operate under the guise of falsehood. Eventually, lies are brought to light and undermine credibility. Leaders protect their character by using discretion in their language. They speak truthfully—even when honesty is costly.

SUMMARY

Poor communication is the number one culprit of failed relationships—in business and at home. Since relationships are the foundation of success, leaders would be wise to invest in the communication skills of context and delivery. Master them, and you’ll more easily gain favor, more readily make friends, and more effectively motivate others.

Hello everyone!

Hey everyone!

I have this very strong desire to start a bookworm club for our cg. haha (people who don't love to read please dont persecute me)

I always believe in the more you read, the better your grasp for English language will be. I love good books, sentimental, family-like, friendships, romance etc. Books that will dig into your heart and make you realize life is actually so simple. Books that you will bawl your eyes out. hehe

Maybe because of my love for English, I love good books. I don't enjoy reading e.g 101 ways to being a millionaire! I DON'T!.

I love reading. I always admire authors who can write well.

Okay maybe I can include a new vision for this
****Buy a new book every month to read****

Let us all speak with good English and write well.. so the first step to make it all happen is to...

STOP USING SINGLISH
LA LEH LOR HOR and all the LOLxZx HahaZxXx

most importantly, let us read the Word more!

Hey everyone,

Somehow this sentence just kept coming into my head, it is also acting as a reminder to me that I gotta have the humility and willingness to learn, and keep learning more.

"you will only start to change when you stop thinking that you are better than others"

It has got something to do with the renewing of our mind.
Like what Pastor/Cgl always say, your life wont change until your thinking change!

<>-<>

In year 08 what are your dreams and visions for yourself, family, spiritual life, relationships?

Just as what BR preached during CG

Hab 2:2
Then the LORD answered me and said:
“ Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.

#1 Write your vision down, make it visible !
You can set it as your wallpaper for desktop, laptop or even cellphones!
#2: Constantly remind yourself of it!
#3: Your vision must MOTIVATE you!
Let our vision be from God and not from self!

JR and JAMES - we will be rooting for the both of you! July 10th will be your weight check for 2008 (haha!) Jia you!

Jo, Jer, Manyau, Peixuan - This year is an important year for the 4 of you, dont lose heart! It is only the beginning of the year. As long you all study hard and smart, put in the effort and sow your time into your studies, you will reap what you sow and earnestly desire!

N246 - Lets continue to press on and love God more. You cannot put old wineskin over new wineskin! Renewwwwwwwwwwwal must come from within! GAMBATTE!
