The Word and I :)

Hey hey hey! Yea a lil' revival to this blog! :) Some updates for xiaowen to read, and for you girls who weren't at service or cell. I shall try to keep this short, cos I figured out no one will read if its too long..!

Basically today's sermon was about "The Word and I".
1) Blessing is found in obedience to God's word - Don't be self-deceived
2) Blessing is found in complete obedience to His precepts - Don't be selective
3) Blessing is found in putting God's word in our hear - Don't be superficial

Its a choice whether we want to live according to the word and obey the word (obey God), or merely choose it to just be a head knowledge which we do not apply. God gives us the freedom to choose, no one else can decide for us, not even God. So whats your choice this day?

And in cell group we shared about what we hope to see through the cluster camp from 12th-15th June. They're simple things, such as obedience, encountering God, focusing on the word more, experiencing Him in a different way, growing closer to God and to the cell etc.. They are simple, yet difficult. Simple things are always thought to be the easiest, yet it takes more discipline and delibrate effort to get them done. Do not let this camp be a one-time off event, but let it be a life transforming experience.

A challenge to all of us this week: Lets use BICEPS to aid us in our quiet time! (like what andrea says, we'll all get spiritual biceps soon!)

Belief to Embrace

Items for Prayer

Command to Obey

Example to Follow

Promise to Claim

Sins to Avoid

Apply BICEPS to at least one verse from the psalm we are reading for the day. It just takes a short 5 minutes :) Lets come back to share next week! And lets be memorising the word together and be praying for one another!


Loves, lijuan :)
