我参加了两次的志工团,
第一次是去北区
第二次是霹雳区及南区。
我的感想就是
每间教会都有各自不同的习惯
无论如何
我们在真理方面是统一的
就因此
无论去到哪一间教会
都很快的就打成一片
每一位信徒就好像是亲戚一样
甚至比亲戚更亲,都非常有爱心
让我非常感动的就是霹雳区的青年们
他们每逢星期六晚上都会从各地方教会集聚在巴占练唱诗班
之后还会一起出去吃夜宵
这种习惯我羡慕不已
在这两个旅程中
最大的收获就是各各教会的爱心
他们的爱心非常伟大
三个字“谢谢你”好像不够
真不知道该如何答谢
我们又给他们添了许多麻烦
又不知道该如何赔罪
领走前
就只能说一句很老套的话 “愿主纪念你们的爱心并祝福你们”
最后
我要特别感谢Dn.Isaiah Chang给我们的勉励
让我们满载而归
我们真的感激不尽
谢谢你~

D u r i a n ' s C h o i c e
At a not-very-flashy-looking Ranau church, whose membership was dominated by mostly orang asli/natives, had left me with a very extraordinary story. The Gombak TJC tour had all witnessed this miracle that lasted for many years.
A miracle that I childishly named as 'Durian's Choice', as the durian tree seemed to have chosen Jesus as its master.
In the past when the Ranau True Jesus Church was building, there was a small piece of land
on which a durian tree was planted. That piece of land was supposedly the church's possession,
but the Gentile neighbor insisted that it belonged to them. The Church gave in.
Through the years, the tree grew and branches dispersed.
Some branches reached the church compound across the fence.
And the tree bore fruits, but ONLY in the branches that reached the church compound!
NO FRUIT was yielded in the neighbor's territory.
this lasted many years till now, we witnessed the flowers blooming ONLY on the branches
in the church compound. None was found in other branches in the neighbor's land!
Praise the Lord. This simple miracle generated a huge deal of thanksgiving in us. Pray so that human beings will give up their heart of stone and find peace in Christ our God. ^.^

Conquest on Mount Kinabalu and Success in Spiritual Life
I am most delighted to announce that the Gombak TrueJesusChurch climbing team had all, both young and old, reached the Low's Peak, the highest point of Mount KK, Sabah!
Throughout the tedious and perilous climb, I noticed the common characteristics shared between our proud Conquest and our personal Spiritual Life.
Like a mirror, I'd say.
The climb itself mirrors our journey of faith as a Christian.
Not hard to relate, really. Let me show you:
1. Prayer in all things = we prayed before, during and after our climb.
= we also prayed for each other as some were unwell
(Js 5:16)...and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
(2Thess 1:11) With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.
2. Chocolate bars, energy food = Spiritual food in spiritual life
(1Cor 10: 3-4)They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
3. Water = springs of living water, Holy spirit
(Lk1:35) The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
4. Teamwork = spiritual companion
~ I assure you that any climber with meager climbing experience would have given up easily without a team to constantly encourage him.
(Eph2:21)Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work (Ecc 4:9)In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
(Amos 3:3)Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
Thus, provided that we all shared the same goal, we pushed each other towards it and conquered it hand in hand!
God said the gate to heaven is a narrow one, a perilous one.
Some gave up the climb and retreated = their faith has failed
But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Mat 24:13)
Perseverance in trials (fatigue, fear, long distance, weather...)
See? the two stories are linked! It's a practical lesson to learn, then we can truly understand how hard a life Paul had lived before he finally sang the song of victory!
(Jude 1:20)But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.

T-Junction
SPM成绩出炉了,我们每个人都在烦恼着同样的东西,就是该如何继续我们的下一步。这个时候,我们都好像是来到了T-junction,可是我们却还不知道该往哪个方向走?我们到底该往哪里走去?我们有各种不同版本的GPS都指向不同的方向~每个方向听说都会到达一个美丽的地方。怎么办?
SPM results are officially out. Ain't we all troubled by the one same thing: Hey, what's next? Dreaded by a dilemma, a T-junction, ehem, we have lost our direction. So now, Which way, man?
Each of us grabs a GPS of different models and 'versions', which ultimately indicates us to different directions. And all that indications claim that they will lead to a beautiful land. Oh dear, which one should I trust?!
Well, God is a lamp to our feet, a light to our path.
why not just ask God? But hey, this ain't my main point yet.
神是我们脚前的灯,路上的光。问神吧~
这不是我的重点。
当我们做了决定,做出了行动,我们的生命转了一个尖弯,然后继续我们的人生道路。
这时,我们的生命大大的改变,也许我们得离乡背井开始独立生活。
我的重点就是我们过了这T-junction之后的生活该怎么办呢?
Once we make a decision, and take the necessary actions/steps, our life has hence made a sharp cornering on the road before it continues its journey. This is, in fact, a huge change in our life, where we might most probably have to leave our sweet home and begin an independent pilgrimage.
I am not sure if you guys still remember the main purpose of this blog when it was first established: to encourage daily bible reading, and obviously that purpose seems to have faded away gradually as we trod towards SPM. And now it totally disappeared.
After the T-junction, whichever direction we take, we ought to cultivate a life of worship and service in the fear of God. And re-start our plan of Daily Bible Reading, observe Sabbaths eagerly and attend all church services and youth activities.
我知道你们还记不记得我们设立这个部落的主要目的,我们是想要每天读一章圣经。可是我们一直到了SPM便慢慢的忘记读圣经直到现在好像都没有人在实行了。
我们过了T-junction之后,第一就是要培养一个侍奉神,敬畏神的生活。
我们要每天读经祷告,切守安息日,参加所有教会聚会及青年班。
Just so we know, life is a vanity, everything is a chasing after the wind.
But hey, so long as we have God in our life, the abidance of Jesus Christ certainly makes our everyday meaningful. Henceforth, be it a left turn or a right turn, turn with God, walk with God. His presence and abidance will make your every path and decision a right one.
在我们的生活当中,凡事都是虚空,都是捕风。但是只要我们的生活中有神,有主耶稣的同在,那么我们无论做什么是都是非常有意义的。
所以,不管你接下来是转左还是转右,只要你能够使神与你同在,与耶稣一同走,那么你所走的那条路就是正确的路。
大家千万要记得
每天读圣经
每天祷告切守安息日
让我们一起努力
加油加油哦!
Just remember
the Daily Bible Reading Plan,
and to pray, to keep every Sabbath
let's do this together, and add oil lor!

Will You Not Help?你忍心吗?
1 Peter 3:8
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
彼前3:8 總而言之、你們都要同心、彼此體恤、相愛如弟兄、存慈憐謙卑的心.
1) Bro. Arthur at Perth now lies in hospital, after an accident which led him to fall into 3rd stage brain operation. In the meantime, his 3 schooling children are still hopeful in wait for their daddy's return.
2) More quakes, even higher in magnitude to come prowling into lands of our fellow humans. Lives brutally consumed, tears shed.
While we live in comfort zone,
Who are there to hear their cries in the howling winds?
Who are there to plead to God to ease their misery?
will we not show compassion by simply offering a prayer on their behalf?

3) Many, even our brothers and sisters are suffering in poverty and warfare at many parts of the world. Their faith wavers, but there may not be anyone who can strengthen their hope.
Do we still have too little to tell God?
Is a 3-minute prayer still enough?
James 5:16
...and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
一、伯斯的ARTHUR弟兄车祸入院,如今要通过第三阶脑部手术。同时,家中三位(小学与中学生)矫巧的小孩依然心存大大的希望,等待爸爸的归来。
二、更大幅度的地震继续入侵人类的地土。生灵涂炭,哭号满天。
在幸福国度里的我们目睹这一切时,我们忍心不为他们祷告求神帮助吗?
难道他们风中的哭号就没一人听见吗?
三、全球人们、弟兄姐妹等,不少都活在贫困中和战争之间。当他们的信心动摇时,有谁为他们祷告来坚固他们的灵魂呢?
我们还会有太少东西告诉神吗?
三分钟的祈祷够吗?
雅各書 5:16 所以你們要彼此認罪,互相代求,使你們可以得醫治。義人祈禱所發的力量是大有功效的。

Book of Eli 艾利之书
I watched this movie last Sunday. Hadn't a clue about the synopsis. Guess that just made the movie a whole lot more interesting.
I was surprised that the movie actually, skillfully and artistically promotes the importance of Bible in human life.
The movie illustrated the depravity and degeneration of morale in the future world.
Thus, the world is devastated by wars. People are killing each other to survive. Some even have to eat human meat to avoid starvation.
This man, Eli, has a book that, a city leader believes, will revive great power. This book, undoubtedly is the Bible. All bibles were burned and destroyed in the previous wars, and none is aware, that there is one last book, which lies in Eli's hand! (to prove Mat23:35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away; Mat 5:18; Isa40:8)
That's why, Eli seemed to be the only one with moral values.
(Ephesians 4:22...you lay aside...that which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,)
My impression
One thing i loved about this movie, is that the story was realistic.
It mirrored the mysterious ways of God, which surpass human's comprehension.
God didn't perform amazing miracles like opening the Red Sea, but in ways that none can fathom.
I highly recommend this movie. But, ehem, beware, 'cause it's 18PL.
And one last shocking thing about the movie,
The last Bible was in braille, which means Eli was blind all along. (2 Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight)
星期日我看了“艾利之书”。
看前,对这部电影毫无线索,不晓得它的大纲等。
酱一来,这电影才更有新鲜感。
这电影很有艺术地,和技巧性地推广圣经尚高的地位。
表达着未来人类的堕落和无道德的性质。
世界各地都被战争摧毁了。人类为了生活而互相残杀,甚至吃人肉。
艾利此人拥有一本书。
这书是一位城市领导者所相信能带来极大威力的奇书,
就是圣经。
所有的圣经在战争期间被焚毁,但无人发现艾利身藏最后一本。
(印证了太二三35;五18;赛四十8)
因此艾利似乎是唯一有道德的人。(弗四22)
“艾利之书”与我
故事内容真实。精妙地呈现出神的道超乎人的想象这道理。
戏中没什么惊人大神迹,没开红海,但结局却是无人能抓摸的。
最后一个惊人的内容:那最后的圣经是盲文篇写的。意表着,艾利是盲的。
(哥后五7靠信心不靠眼见)
