Quiet Time a.k.a Mini Sermon

Jeremiah Chapter 33 verse 11

The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will be heard again, along with the joyous songs of people bringing thanksgiving offerings to the Lord. They will sing "Give thanks to the Lord of Heaven's Armies, for the Lord is good. His faithfulness endures forever!"

2 things.

1. "Give thanks" to God... a thanks giving offering... how thankful are you to God when you are experincing good times? See, thank God in joyful times. It's easy to forget God while you are happy... joyful...

2. "His faithfulness endures forever..." this means God's faithfulness endures even through our unfaithfulness...

You know, it's easy to be faithful to faithful people...

not many people stay faithful to unfaithful people...

but it's a good thing that God's does, and is always faithful even to unfaithful people.

That's what it means by His faithfulness endures forever...

God endures a.k.a to suffer with... to take upon Himself...

our unfaithful acts... *as if it should not reciprocrated...

but that's God :D

realise how much easier it is for us to be faithful to God than for God to be faithful to us...

but that just goes to show how much more God loves us =D

Quiet Time a.k.a Mini Sermon

Isaiah chapter 32 verse 38 "They will be my people and I will be their God. And I will give them one heart and one purpose to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their decendants. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me. I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land."

You know God's one goal, that "We become his people, and He be our God..." Many times, our thoughts and perceptions of God-People relationships turn out different from what God sees it as. In many different places, people share different perceptions of God. Just reading this verse alone, to someone, it may seem as though God wants us to submit our control to Him so that He can be God over us...Furthermore, God says He wants us to worship Him forever...

Now is God a self-centered God?...

a relationship with God goes more than just submission to a higher will... a higher power...

read into the lines...
*hold this thought in mind...

Now, see God as an eager God, a really eager one, desperate to reconcile a relationship with Man once again... just like a courtship... to do everything possible to seek our approval for His love. *but as though our approval really matters? To God, it does... It's our approval of His love for us... I mean, we're just mere humans and why should it even matter in the first place! But that's what God is like... He seeks our approval and does all the good things He can to gain that approval, to start a relationship with Him. Isn't it wonderful? the verse describes it as a joy to God... *but as though we deserve it at all... for Him to so eagerly want to do all the good things He can for us.
and You know something? this tells me a lot more about God... and who God is...

God is more people-centered than we'd ever imagine Him to be... we are like the focus of God's love and attention,

and amongst all of creation...

just special.

PiCTuRe PeFErct AusTralia - MemOries

you know, you'll never run out of good photoshots in AustrAlia... thank God For the many christian Friends who have guided me so far :D

i have never gained more clarity of the gospel in my life than over the past 4 days at church camp... and that also includes clarity of the bible, and stuff...AnD so for 4 dayS, it centered about

1 Corinthians chApter 15... therein lies the importance of the resurrection of Jesus...

The Resurrection of Christ

1Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance^[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Peter,^[b] and then to the Twelve. 6After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

9For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

The Resurrection of the Dead

12But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27For he "has put everything under his feet."^[c] Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

29Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? 30And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? 31I die every day—I mean that, brothers—just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,
"Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die."^[d] 33Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." 34Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body

35But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"^[e]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we^[f] bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."^[g]
55"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"^[h] 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

we should all do bible studies... I mean, really studying the bible as parts, and as a whole...
and when you do, you'll start to see the framework, the intricacies, the links, the accuracy, the details, the parallels... ...everything falls into place so well,when u come to understand it, it stands out so much so, that it can't be just a work of a genius...

it's God's word.

really.

I was convinced that the gospel was true... but over the camp, I'm more convinced after all that bible studies and sermons and stuff on the gospel message... just makes it so amazing. and cleared up so many questions that I used to have... and now, it's just clear! and it's so important! really so important!

everyone ought to read the bible, and everyone ought to be surprised and amazed at how much more you undertstand of God, and how much more "Sound" the bible is than we actually think it is... cos very often we take God apart from Reality, but nOoooO... read the bible and find out how God's so much part of reality!

Many things I've learnt...

1 Cor 15:22, "Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life."

you know...questions like, why is it so unfair that just because of Adam, all of us have become sinful, and bound to death?

Just as it took one man's sin (Adam) to bring about condemnation and destruction to all of mankind... Take a look at this, and now think about it, about the magnitude of unfairness... about the magnitude of sin... (all it takes is one man) - so absurdly unfair!!!!!

but it took one man's sacrifice (Jesus) to bring about salvation for all... Take a look at this, and now think about it, about the magnitude of unfairness... about the magnitude of the sacrifice... (all it takes is one man too) - so absurbly unfair too!!!

both of similar magnitudes (therein, the fairness in unfairness), but in complete opposites... that's God's plan of salvation...

but You know, how can one uphold Justice and be Merciful at the same time? It's just not comprehendable... unthinkable... it's almost as if both attributes contradict. Think about it, a man who commits adultery... How can God be just/fair to his wife, and yet, merciful to the man?
some attributes of God are hard to reconcile... of course, everyone can still say that God is Merciful, God is Just/Fair... because He is God!

but You know why Satan has power over death in the world? A very logical reason... that's because Satan's the accuser. Accuse the man of commiting adultery, and that's why he should be condemned to death. That man has no way of escaping death... just because satan has accused the man of sinning, and rightly so. Therein, the power that satan holds over the world...

and you know something? All that's of satan's power over us is accusation!

Jesus was not sent to make an exchange with Satan... He never made a pact with Satan to redeem our lives! He didn't need to... Instead we know that Jesus fought a battle... Fighting a battle is very different from making an agreement.

In the past, I would use to think that Satan was really "foolish" to make that agreement with Jesus, thinking that Jesus would die... and so made us free from his power over us in exchange for Jesus life.

But i've come to understand that Satan doesn't have power over life or even death itself!
God's power over life and death was always in His hands. Satan's power lies only in his accusations...

but watch how his accusations become futile...!

1) Satan Accuses us, that we have to die because of Sin...

2) God is Just/Fair, and that, we have to die because of Sin...

3) But now, from one man's sin comes death, and through one mans' death comes life... and so that the only way that God could reconcile man to him, and still be just/fair when He chooses to forgive us, was that Jesus became that sacrifice to death...

In Romans 4v25:" This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when He held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for He was looking ahead and including them in what He would do in this present time." - even for people who had Sin in the past!!!! through the past, for the present, till the future, God's was still fair!

4) Now everything can be reconciled... God's Just/Fair. God's Merciful. (The grace that was shown on the cross is the very place where Justice and Mercy meets)

It's amazing how David understood God this way, wayYYyyy back before Jesus came. and but We have the benefit of hindsight today (David didn't). The very fact that he said that, Pslam 51v4 "Against you, you only, have I sinned..." showed the very essence of sin... and the possibilty of forgiveness when He knew God as a God who would bring him Salvation. For now, the man who commits adultery... can be forgiven! there is a chance for salvation...!! How could it be?

a) You only sin against God (JUST BETWEEN GOD AND YOU)
What if we could sin against people.... this will be what happens...So if the man who commited adultery could sin against his wife... and that means that sin was counted by his wife... then there can be no salvation because the wages of sin is death.

Work backwards... So then if the wages of sin is death... but there can be salvation... and the sin cannot be counted by his wife... and there still is salvation even though sin leads to death....
and in knowing that there was salvation, David must have had an idea of Jesus, or at least the meaning behind the sacrifices for sins then...! Ps 51 v4 "and justified when you judge." + v9 "and blot out all my iniquity." = in which both can only come through sacrifice/Jesus's act on the cross...

and so we sin only against God...

b) So how is it still fair? If david had not sinned against his wife... and murdered her Husband, probably broke up a family? How can it be fair?!

Now look at who the sin is against... The punishment for Sin is greater when the one you sin against is greater... If we were to look in this light, the punishment for that Sin, for an infinitely great God, is an infinitely great punishment => death. Now, for that sin against God is death... is it fair?

5) So now when the wife accuses the husband of sinning... of commiting adultery... that's not wrong! the wife accuses rightly... and satan accuses, that the punishment must be death... that was also not wrong either! Someone had to die for it... but the punishment was met... just but now, who bore that punishment? Jesus did, that's grace.

so the punishment of Sin was paid in its price in Full at the Cross, the pivotal point for all humanity and all history, where Mercy and Justice met! that only through grace that we could be saved.

and see, Satan's accusations fall to the ground with no more power of condemnation... suddenly at the cross, Satan's accusations became futile... so it was never an exchange (not so much as an exchange, that God required that exchange to get back his power over death), it was more like a victory won! Where Satan had no choice to decide from the beginning...

but so now, the only way of reconciling man to God was through Jesus, in which,
God still uphold's jUstice, He can be merciful in the world of sIn, only at the expense of what we call GracE, shown through JesuS on that CroSs.

and u know the extent that God had to go through... to save us through Grace? the extent of love poured down for us?

I think, and think and think... ponder... ponder... ponder...

think for a second... maybe take more than a second...

look into it... c'mon. what greater love than this?

so God could choose 2 options...

1) just leave man as He is, eternally seperated from Him

2) Or if He chose to reconcile man to God... had no other choice but to go through such extents of laying down His life for us all. think about it, there was no other choice really (remember the magnitude of one man's sin *adam... now the magnitude of one man's sacrifice *Jesus... see how both reconcile to say that God is still just/fair even though he choose to forgive? if not, God wouldn't be fair... and merciful at the same time...), and it's probably the toughest choice anyone could make... unless there is Love.

what greater love can there be?

So now, know what does it mean when Jesus had to die for our sins?


and of course, so many other questions I had were answered :D

smile. you're on candid camera.

Quiet Time a.k.a Mini Sermon:

So I read Jeremiah chapter 17:8-...
"Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the long months of drought . Their leaves stay green and never stop producing fruit."

Dissect the the passage into many parts, and this is what I learnt.

"Blessed are those who trust in the Lord", well, this is what trust is... as you read on,

"made the Lord their hope and confidence"

So trust in God means to make him your HOPE and CONFIDENCE...

You see, this is what hope is...
Hope is believing for something that you do not have yet...
and Confidence is having a sure reliance on something that you already have...

one believing in the acquired, the other believing for the required...

Lamentations chapter 3v24:
"The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
or some say The LORD is my inheritance...

that's my confidence... and therefore I will wait for him... waiting for somone, whom you place your confidence in, is such a natural thing to do. Just like if I didn't know my way around sydney, then I will wait for my friend to guide me along... my confidence is in him, because he's travelled around before.

you see, if "have" could be a noun...then God wants you to trust in Him, in the"have"s and the "have-nots" yet...

so putting your confidence in God makes God your "have"... means you "have" God in all that you do, means God becomes your inheritance... and putting your hope in God, is believing for the "have-nots"... means believing that God will provide for the "have-nots", which maybe your needs or His promises to come in your life...

and what does God say...

you see, water represents life! and a tree can't live without water... how much more trust can we have in God, to live LIFE when you are planted by the water, just like that tree.

soooooOO,

Lay your Foundations in God "Roots that reach deep into the water" So that in times Trials/Difficulties that you will not be affected "Such trees are not bothered by the long months of drought." and that you will even continue to be fruitful... "Their leaves stay green and never stop producing fruit."




So now, a little preview

Hillsongs Live Recording 2008

Some of the songs are really nice... look out for the album release.

Just a preview of what the Live Recording was like :) we were soooo far back, because we reached slightly late. but anyway, it was an experience... to take a train there... whoa! only after taking sydney trains, then would singaporeans sooOOOOOoo appreciate the MRT and the SBS buses we have... which is so much more efficient. Sydney trains are confusing, and would take a genius to figure the routes.


anw, I like this song... :)



i miss my family, my MUM, my DAD, LISA, JOSHUA, and JOEL!

Guess what?

The church that I went to with my landlord... the pastor and the invited speaker (Liang Mu Shi) knows Pastor Song and Pastor Mark Geppert! Cool man... :) no wonder the things I heard during the sermon was so similar... really so similar to what Pastor Song preaches.

Yesterday I met Jerming. You know how i met him? I went for OCF, and suddenly, somone popped up and introduced his name as OP. So I told OP that I was jordan...

and OP thinks for a while and says,

"OHh, so you're jordan. Your mum told my friend about you... "

*huh?* me

"MMMmmmm, who's your friend?" *me

"Jerming"

"YEa! How' did you get to know Jerming?"*me

"He's my housemate..."

haha. and then about a few minutes later, Jerming called my handphone...

really cool how he called me... so timely when I was just about to go out to have dinner with OCF people.

So we had dinner together during OCF, and yea, got to know a lot of people... haD a very good chat with JermIng :) got to knoW him bEtter... much better than before... haha. last time just used to see him around in church only... it was the same for him too. haha. iT's great to meet people you know from SingaPOre here in Australia!

So we headed to the church, and guess what? i met my SISpec Army Bunkmate, Derek, there... He doesn't live anywhere near, a few hours drive away... but just attended the OCF session for that particular day...

andd There was a guest speaker, called Ash Barker, who's a missionary in Bangkok... the Slums area... working amongst the very very poor people. He's quite inspirational I must say, and yea, really admire him for how he lays down his life to help the people in Thailand.

In Australia, it's a small world afterall, it's a small world afterall...

i really thank God for the friends i made here so far too!

one of them lives in hillview too, used to be neighbours!

everyday God provides amazing things :)

Jeremiah chapter 12

If racing against mere men makes you tired, how will you race against Horses?
If you stumble and fall on open ground, what will you do in the thickets near the Jordan?

You know school has started, and lessons and assignments and tests are coming up! So many new things to learn... and I've just started to lose confidence... confidence to do well, to do very well! Maybe a pass.. maybe just above average will do? and this is what God tells me, that if racing against mere men makes me tired, how will I race against horses... you know the only person in the bible, who raced against horses was Elijah...

Elijah tightened up his girdle, and ran the whole way in front of the chariot. 1 Kings 18.46.

In Isaiah, it says,
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

You know where my strength comes from? From my hope in God. Shouldn't I hope all the more after what God has done for me, and just because I know I'm in His promises? You see both verses talk of running, one talks of hoping on God, that renews your strength. The other talks of racing against men, which drains your strength... You know what? I don't have to compare with others, to race against the people around me, all I have to do have the hope that God will guide me step by step in this race... I get my strength from hoping in God.

and I've crossed the River... it was the easy part :) the thickets near the Jordan river... entering the promises of God doesn't mean that it's always an open ground... sometimes there are barriers that I need to pass. Know what a thicket is? It's a densed undergrowth of plants. God tells me that there'd be barriers, but that's why all the more I need to rely on Him... you see, I need to have my foundations in God alone... lay it on a firm foundation, so I won't stumble and fall in the the thickets.

wanna do what God wants me to do... a step... a step at a time.

Last sUnday morning, I went to the most traditional church anyone ever, the building was a brick building, somewhat like an Historical Preservation Site... It was located in the centre of Sydney. A baptist church. I went there to accompany one of my friends, who's a presbyterian... ok.

So God spoke to me, even through the most unexpected traditional church that I did not expect... and you know, that's God... In the start, the pastor's wife came up with 2 plastic cups of jelly... That represented 2 kinds of hearts. One of them, when she stuck her finger inside, and pulled it out, the hole naturally covered. It represented a heart was whole again. However, the other, when she stuck her finger inside, "Oh what a hole was left behind" she exclaimed... it was because the 2nd heart one was frozen.

Well, that's the 2 kinds of hearts that we can have...
One leaves ugly scars... the other heals and closes up quickly... *unforgiveness
One is hard to be affected... the soft heart can be moulded easily... *teachablity
One is cold... the soft heart is warmer *compassion

Well, the church service was like this: All rise => Sing a hymn => all take a seat => Pastor says something =>all rise to sing a hymn => all takes a seat => Pastor says somethings... so offering, there's a hymn for that... for benediction, a hymn for that... for praise and worship, a contemporary hymn... well, guess what? I worshipped God right there and then... there was this hymn...

From the ends of the earth  (From the ends of the earth)
From the depths of the sea  (From the depths of the sea)
From the heights of the heavens  (From the heights of the heavens)
Your name be praised

From the hearts of the weak  (From the hearts of the weak)
From the shouts of the strong  (From the shouts of the strong)
From the lips of all people  (From the lips of all people)
This song we raise, Lord

Throughout the endless ages
You will be crowned with praises,  Lord Most High
Exalted in every nation
Sovereign of all creation
Lord Most High, Be magnified

That song, when the congregation sang it, powerful man! It was so cool, like a Choir of people singing, and worshipping God together... a very different kind of worship experience... it was as if the song was a performance by the entire congregation, that was sung to God. Well, even in a very formal setting, yea, the worship was cool man... very different, yet so powerful... I love some hymns, cos it speaks so much about God's greatness... Many hymns were written by christian warriors that have gone before us... people who were persecuted and yet, praised God with their everything.

You know, when school starts, you get busy knowing new friends, start to spend less time with God... and but there was this hymn also, that had a stanza "bring me across the Jordan"... this reminded me so much of God's promise.

and the pastor's sermon was about Jonah! I learnt more about Jonah than I ever did before... so just very briefly, God's purpose for sending Jonah to Nineveh was 1) to show His love for the Nations of the world too, 2) a foreshadow of the coming of the Messiah ("For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matthew 12:40), 3) to awaken Israel who had been rejecting God...

So after that, we headed down to hillsong church... I was more comfortable there anw... haha cos it was less formal. This coming Sunday, Hillsongs Live Recording at the Acer's Arena (Olympic Park) in Australia => there's gonna be many new songs, and I heard some during their services... it was very nice songs :)


well anw, i remember last week, on wednesday and thursday, I atteneded a chinese healing conference with my Landlord (it costs 125 AUD per Person, Mr Wu paid for me...) yea. So i learnt so much from there... the speaker was Liang Mu Shi (I wonder if she met Pastor Song before, cos what she teaches so similar to Pastor Song...) anw, you know? Mr Wu ( my landlord) is a person who really inspired me... just by talking to him...

YOu knOw, he's actually got 30 people working under him, owns a driving school in sydney, and so rich... but yet, when I talk to him, he's seems like such a humble, simple person... generous, and very kind hearted. I see his faith in God, its child-like faith man! I mean, when adults grow up, their hearts harden, but his was different... You know when I told him that I'd only attend one session of the conference, (costs $30), he said, it's okay, its expensive to bring the speaker in from overseas, so he paid the full fee... and talking to him, I remember some quotes that he said, "somtimes you give, you lose some... but God bless.. you know..." in broken english (cos he's a cantonese, from Hong Kong)... and another time he said, "... pray to God, you know... give me a soft heart... so I can cry." These words are really amazing...

I read Jeremiah... a person who was called by God... well, he had a soft heart! You know why? He wept, and wept, and wept for his people... he had a heart for God, and a heart for his people... that's why God used him... I pray that my heart doesn't grow hard admist all the studying and pursuing of a Career, a promise, a dream.


*break my heart for what breaks yours... keep your heart soft always*especially when you are growing up!



school has started, and oh man, starting to become so busy... and gotta shop for groceries once in a while, gotta find food to eat, gotta clean my room, gotta do the laundry, gotta do homework... really such a different lifestyle from JC/Secondary school, where I didn't have to bother about all those things. Well, I'm growing up... that's why I wear a Watch... haha. anw, yea, gotta balance out my time, and leave much time for God too... read the bible, pray everyday.
