Layout: vehemency
someone whom i've not met for a long time;
someone whose words, though indirect,
were as sharp as the tip of a lance;
even though i've not spoken to you in ages,
or made the faintest noise in your direction;
your words, penned down long ago,
a candid description, a chance given,
words you thought i'd never see;
a strong reminder they'll forever be;
a living testimony,
i hope i can be.
the problem is finding the other nine...
hopefully nlb has it...
i think not.
i just threw mine out the window.
yay!
watch it to the end... uber funny, but mildly sadistic... =p
a prelude to the launch of the clone wars???
oh.. and take it with a pinch of salt...
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
go figure.
Otherwise there's always Wikipedia. =)
a few days ago i spent a night in the a&e down at alexandra hospital. no, it wasn't me who had a problem but i was there to accompany a good friend of mine, who had just returned from kalimantan. 2/3s of the mission trippers returned with a serious case of the runs while doing God's work. ok fine. 2/3s sounds like a lot, but it was 3 people who went okay?
anyway, even with the runs, complete with a nice high fever that makes you collapse, they still pressed on, aiming to complete God's work in whatever capacity they could, the reason they went there in the first place.
why do i start with this illustration? it shows us their passion and zeal for God, to serve him and to obey His commands.
passion. what is it? can eat? no. unlike a passionfruit, passion is a word with latin roots, which means to suffer. they suffered at kalimantan, but still did His work.
today i was at passionAC down at (you guessed it!) acjc, the first time i'd actually went for one. i'd always wanted to go since my school days but to cut a long story short, shy lah...
it was a great experience, the band was perfect, the worship leaders inspiring. helsa and team did a really excellent job in putting this together i have to say. and the pianist was fantastic.
however, what challenged me most was the message from the speaker, br hanson (hi hanson! yes thank you very much). he spoke about denying oneself, and picking up your cross, and following Him.
Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"If anyone would come after me,
he would deny himself
and take up his cross
and follow me."
-Matt 16:24
what, then, is denying oneself? What is taking up your cross? What is following Christ?
from one verse alone comes three challenges, all of them with fairly simple answers which i will allow you to ponder on, but difficult to apply into one's life.
simply put, it is all or nothing.
Christ has paid the full and ultimate price for us, and in return, what do we give Him?
do you have the passion for Christ?
