Parents

Hey all! J

This week, we were extremely blessed to have Dr. Yee Fong at our Impact Ministry to share God’s words with us. He mainly spoke about the relationship we have and should have with our PARENTS.

Did you know, that RELATIONSHIP is the most essential and important thing in the world? Yes, it is indeed true.

Even in Matthew 22:37-40, it says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” This means to say that, relationship is really all that important, especially our relationship with God and our PARENTS.

However, some of us teenagers today, are facing many ‘teeny-weeny’ (or in some circumstances, not so ‘teeny-weeny’) problems in achieving that ideal relationship with our parents. And why is that? Well, one of the main reasons this is happening is because the way parents and teenagers think most of the time make it seem like as if they are from two different planets! (Seriously!)

I’m pretty sure that most of us have thought of our parents as old-fashioned at some of them moments like for example, when your mom asks you for help to switch on the television when it has been in the house for the past, what, ten years? Well, guess what? You certainly cannot blame them for this as some of our parents come from extremely different backgrounds. (Or eras, some would say) And sometimes, these different backgrounds which they come from have shaped them to show less affection towards their children (us) although, deep inside, they really do love us. Really, there are parents out there who have never even hugged their children once in their entire lives! So, what do WE as the young ones who are craving for more affection from our parents have to do about this? Yes, we can’t just expect our parents to make the first move all the time; why not, WE make more effort in showing our parents how much we love and appreciate them first? We can start with baby steps such as thanking them for doing the simplest favors for us, telling them that we love them everyday and maybe even buying their favorite ‘tau foo fa’ for them! Now, THAT would soften their hearts for sure! (:

Well, the key to a great relationship with our parents would definitely be COMMUNICATION. Without communication, a relationship would go nowhere. Therefore, how do we communicate with our parents? Sometimes, we teenagers get SO engrossed with our computers, PSP’s and whatnot, that even when our parents are talking to us, we have our backs facing them! And so, this HAS to change! We NEED to have that sync with our parents and we can do that through many ways, such as face-to-face talks, phone calls, SMS, Facebook, online and so on. With less ‘silent treatments’ and more of communication, I am certain that there would be no more room for, “Mom/Dad! YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND!” Remember, it is our PURPOSE IN LIFE to make relationships work, especially with our parents and yes, indeed, RELATIONSHIPS ARE PARAMOUNT! We may have several obstacles in our way to achieve that desired relationship with our parents, such as the technological and different-brain barriers but hey, WE need to make the effort to break that barrier. Oh, and yes, never take your parents for granted by only going to them when you need their help or perhaps your monthly allowance. Don’t forget to SMS your parents!

God bless you all! J

Have a great 1st week of school, Thanks. : )

Hey all. Hope you're enjoying the hols.

There won't be impact on the 13th of June (2 week)

God bless. :)

May 30 - Impact Closed!

There will be no Impact this Saturday May 30, so don't come. Happy school holidays :-)

Week 3- May

We were blessed to have Kelvin Lim (Director, 1AM Ministry from Eaglepoint Christian Fellowship) to speak.
He shared about Living a Worship Lifestyle. He talked about being rich and famous. 

I know many of us want to be Rich and famous. Is it wrong to want to live that kind of lifestyle? But by living a Worship lifestyle we can also be famous and rich. But first things first what does Worship actually mean??
The word 'Worship' came from the word "weothspice" then soon became "Worthship" then Worship. 

The main thing is:
How Do We live a Worship Lifestyle then??
By allowing Jesus to be Lord of your life.
How? In Luke 8: 20-21, 

it says:
20.  Someone told Him, " Your mother and brothers are standing outside, waiting to see you." 

21. He replied, " My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice. "

Which means you must know God's word to be able to put it into practice. If not you wont know what to practice. It is through devotion you read God's word.

Doing devotion is not just reading but its only when you practice on what you meditate then you will start living a worship lifestyle. But sometimes doing devotion may get boring and soon you find yourself delaying it. To solve that problem we should ask the holy spirit to help us with reading the bible and ask the holy spirit to speak to us through the words.

Devotion + Holy Spirit = WORSHIP LIFESTYLE :)

When we do our devotion. We are like applying  S.O.A.P  ( Not literally )

Scripture
Observation
Application
Prayer

Being rich and famous isn't wrong. 

but it has to be together with a worship lifestyle.
If not it'll be counterfeit. 

A fake.

Someone merely wearing a mask. 
I think you know what to do ritee?? GO APPLY SOAP. If not you'll stink :P
