- 1 Timothy 4:12

团歌


不可叫人小看你年轻
总要活出基督的榜样
不可叫人小看我年轻
总要活出基督的榜样

总要在言语, 行为, 和爱心,
信心, 清洁上,
都做信徒的, 信徒的榜样

不可叫人小看我们年轻
总要活出基督的榜样
我们不可叫人小看自己年轻
总要活出基督的榜样

我要活出,
你也活出,
一起活出,
基督榜样!

Just Enough Light

Sometimes only the step I'm on,
or the very next one ahead,
is all that is illuminated for me.
God gives just the amount I need it.
At those times I walk in surrender to faith,
unable to see the future
and not fully comprehending the past.
And beacuse it is God who has given me
what light I have,
I know I must reject the fear and
doubt that threaten to overtake me.
I must determine to be content where I am,
and allow God to get me where I need to go.
I walked forward,
one step at a time,
fully trusting that
the light God sheds
is absolutely sufficient.

[from:"Just enough LIGHT for the step I'm on" by Stormie Omartian]
Bible Study - Honesty

Today we had bible study! And it was about honesty.
Quite an interesting topic that probably we've thought we knew about
but actually there's a lot more to it.

Ephesians 4:28 "He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must
work, doing somethinguseful with his own hands, that may have something
to share with those in need."

There are many different kinds of stealing, not just the literal sense but
also the not-so-direct way of doing so like by not giving what you're supposed
to give (eg tithes) and giving less then what you're supposed to (even govt tax!)
Then i was thinking too if wasting other people's time is in fact a kind of stealing.

We also learnt that instead of stealing, work so that we can give to others.
And it is an honourable thing to do.
God delights in us working for his sake and through our "marketplace", do our
best to glorify him. We should also not seek for any returns when giving.
From the bible study, I also learnt that we should not work just to keep and
store a lot a lot of money on Earth.

Next week is group outing and leaders, do take picture of your group
outing and post it on the facebook page or send it to me so i can put it here
and on facebook since i wont be with yall.

Yep thats all. Ciao for now!
Still

Still
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are king over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

many of you are having your exams now, and some have theirs coming soon. If you do feel tired or overly jittery, and maybe lost, hope this song reminds you of the comfort and security you can find in God.

someone shared with me, "when everyone is rushing and gushing, stand firm." i like the picture that came to my mind: staying still in the midst of busy traffic (the picture there above). looks so cool right! haha this is the 'coolness' we can have even when we go through tough times! times are tough. why not make it tougher! xD just kidding. i meant, times are tough but with God, we are tougher! :)
Be still and know He is God!
神学 workshop

Hello people! Today was 神学workshop by 明康传道 and it sure is one insightful
programme as our various questions get answered.

明康传道 introduced to us what 神学 (theology) is all about and began to break
down a few points about theology like what causes theology, the guiding principles
forming theological thought and the different theological aspects and applications.

So bascially, theology is all about God and you and how you response to others about
God. That reminds me of how i as a chrisitan lead a christian life to reflect God in my life.

We bombarded him with many questions after his introduction to theology and
that really showed me how much jyf actually ponders upon things and not just lead our
day to day routine blindly. The questions cracked our brain a little and made us think
more deeply about what we believe in and it relates to our lives.

One take home point i got was that everyone are, by default, supposed to die because
of sin, not because we didnt get to hear the gospel, but by God's grace, we get to hear
the good news and able to have eternal life. So now it is our turn to pass it on and tell
everyone else about gospel!

Next week is bible study and we are going to study about honesty! Peixun will be as
usual at 2pm except the preacher chua's ba ke class which ended today. See ya! (:

宣教奋兴大会及研习坊

Yesterday we spent a meaningful time attending various different
宣教奋兴研习坊 from 2pm to 5pm.

It was quite a meaningful 研习坊 over at A5 and im sure it is so in all other workshops.

This was followed by a birthday celebration for the March and April babies!

Thank you Wenguang daoshi for the many pictures and i was thinking if we should have a s-word EFC Junior Youth Fellowship facebook page so we can upload all the pictures in and share stuff on the page. Media nowadays.

And yes the beautiful ausomely specially made cake was from Felicia's and Shawn's dad. Thank you so much!

After which most of the JYFers went dinner together at imm and returned rejuvenated to attend the 宣教奋兴大会 at 8pm.

It was a great sermon and although many of us were rather lethargic and restless after a long day, I must say that it was commendable that we JYFers managed to sit through it together and it was quite an interesting sermon too.

Next week will be 神学 Workshop at 3.30pm not group outing sorry guys and

Worship leader is Kemei and Osmond,
Keyboardist Bram,
