Impact is still Impact

Hey guys!!

Who still checks out the blog?? :)
How's everything so far?

I read that people are bored because there's no Impact anymore but let me tell you guys something: "Impact doesn't end when we say it ends" ;) I only blogged that impact OFFICIALLY ended :D


So everybody ready for the sleepover?

Tomorrow is the last day to register so hurry up!!

for more info, contact Kay Jen :)
Basic info is listed below:

It costs only RM50 (Including meals :)
It is guaranteed to be fun!
On the last night, we have our Impact Christmas Party! :)

So come yea!! :D

We'll never grow old!

Well, I wonder who had fun at the closing of IMpact? 

If you had fun at IMpact put your hands up!

If you had fun at IMpact put your hands up!

Now it's over, and you're wishing we could play again :D

Okay, I know that was random...

Back to the main point.

Who had fun in Neverland?

So we began with the introduction of the rules, and then moved to the introduction of the visitors some who came for the 1st time and one more Aussie ;D

Welcome!!!

So I don't think I have to say much about the event except for the fact that it was really really fun.

There were fun station games and all, but the main thing is that we all had fun in the end :)

I still had fun with Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Tinkerbelle, AND Wendy! 

Haha you guys know who the characters are right?

Looks fun?

Try doing this:

Well,some succeeded :D

Well, almost succeeded lar.

It was an encouragement to find so many Form Fivers around even though it's in the middle of their exams.

We ended playing Captain (Hook) ball later!

I think that wraps it up! The last day of IMpact ended but the spirit and joy of IMpact will be with all IMpactors. :]

Remember that we are gonna have a sleepover on the 16th to 18th December!

And to all Form Fives (even though you guys should be studying and not reading this) all the best to the rest of your exams guys!! 
Remember to hold them in prayer! 

It's been a year of hardships,

A year of difficulty and pain,

But let's not forget the fun we've had,

The lessons we have gained

It's been a year of joy,

Of making new friends

And let's give Glory to God

From morning to end!

Though IMpact this year,

Has ended quite quick

Remember there's still next year

Memories we will make!

Bye guys!! :)

IMpact closing

Hey guys!


Next week is IMpact's "official" closing 
*BOO* ;)




Well, the committee has planned something big and fun so do try to make it.


Here're a little hints of what to expect next week:




Fun    (DUH!)


Fellowship    (another...DUH!)


Fishing    (hike??)


Fantastic Finale!  


F....







On a TOTALLY random note....
Maybe its because of the fact that I'm leaving IMpact soon, but I don't want to grow up.  What I was wondering is that wouldn't it be great if neverland existed?? You know neverland as in Peter Pan neverland.  


Wouldn't it be great?? :D


Stay updated for more about IMpact's closing by reading this blog, reading the committee member's blog, the Facebook group, or the Committee's Facebook activities :)


Have fun with the suspense!

The LAST

It was the last CG today. but only for this year =)

I'm sure all of us had a good year of Cell groups. Well, if you didn't you might wanna talk to weili :) she'll help you :D Dont worry. We want you guys and gals to enjoy yourselves.

There's a trip to the orang asli church either this coming wednesday or friday. So avail yourselves for a fun time of painting :) for more details on the time, feel free to ask any of the committee.

Next week will be THE LAST WEEK of IMPACT D:

We're gonna have a BLAST so bring your friends!

We'll be updating still for other activities during the holidays. For example, Chirstmas Party! :) Yup so keep checking the blog!

Till then!

A Day of Prayer

We youths can be serious too :)


As we showed everyone when we walked around and prayed for our church and community.  
It was good to see that most of us took this seriously.


After that a few of us went to Jaya One to talk, while the others stayed in church to play sports or play music.


The prayer walk doesn't end here. The walk can be continued to be our lives.  Our entire life is a walk--a journey--and we need prayer to keep us walking in the right direction.  I really hope that this won't be just an IMpact thing.  Hope you guys will continue to pray when times are bad and when times are good :)


Always remember to P.U.S.H.


Pray Until Something Happens 


This Saturday is gonna be CGs. So come and share with your cell :D

Jeff's has his own story to tell

Today, Nathaniel led impact into a time of praise and worship. It was a full band worship this time around. Then Jeff shared AGAIN! =D

This time there were no blue marbles but he gave us this verse to ponder on!

Its Proverbs 3:3-8

³ Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
⁴ Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
⁸ This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.

Be the person God designed you to be! :)

And

When God gives you opportunities to serve Him in whatever way,

take it.

Don't turn them down.

Cause you'll be turning down

an adventure with God!

Blue Marbles and Transparent bowls

Jeff shared today about Impact and how we should GIVE and Take. Its not good to keep giving until you're all dried out. Yet again, not GIVING is really bad. When we all take up the role of serving; Impact will be a great place :) Serve in worship, AV, publicity (haha, yes the blog needs YOU!), CG, sports from 6-7, participating in the events we conduct, even serving by being a friend to someone who's lonely or down.

Jeff's illustration was reallly good :)

There's still impact next week despite the long weekend. So hope to see you there! :)

Of Pegs, bandannas, and cups

We had a full band worship session led by Alycia =D

Then we had a game 'smartly designed' by Rachel Chow.

And the game was so fun...and HARD!!

But we had fun didn't we? Especially the Form 5's who had a 'little' help xD

Hope you all had fun =)

Remember to register for VBS and for the VBS follow-up :)

Chiao guys!

Cell Group Fellowship

For those of you who couldn't make it for impact last week, we had Cell Groups as usual.

When we have fellowship, each cell group does their own thing. We all had worship in our own cells and then a discussion or a game or maybe both :)

From 6-7 upstairs, we played volleyball.

I really encourage you to join us upstairs, bonding physically is a whole different thing ;)

Hope to see more of you people upstairs at the sports complex!

Faci FTW

This week we had a special kind of worship: We had faci worship...
Josh Lim, Josh Chan, and Evan lead the worship.

later on we had Ps. Irene to share to us.

She spoke on John 15.

To summarize:

1. Remember what holiness is.
2. We are to ABIDE in Christ
3. Remember what righteousness is.
4. The big "R" word: Relationship
5. Give respect where needed...

Remember to sign up for the photography workshop, VBS helpers, and GUM helpers =)

'Til next week! ;)

Its late, i'm sorry

For those who were not around *Cough, Reuben*

Joshua Chan shared on 6 main points:

(I'm sorry its so late and all, due to exams.. Haih... Well here it is anyway. I don't really remember much as it has been 2 weeks ago. Once again, SORRY! )

Where was I?

Oh yea, the six points.

• The Word

Basically the Bible is VERY important. Its good for teaching, rebuking and a lot of other things. When we are tempted the word will help us stand strong. Its also really useful for defending your faith. When people ask you about what you believe in, you'll be able to answer them. So, read your bible kids! ;D haha, no seriously read your bible.

• Be Calm

(Jesus calm the storm)

Be calm in every situation. For God is the solution! :) First thing to do when you're facing a difficult situation is to go to God. Think about What Jesus Would Do. (WWJD)

• Be Quiet

Its better to not say anything than to say something that would hurt someone else. Oh and when you're quite its easier to hear God's voice. When we stay quite, we are more focused.

• Be Brave

Don't be afraid to stand up for what is right. Cause Jesus did it for us.

• The Truth

Jesus is the truth. We as Christians are to live by what we believe in.

• Be Faithful

Cling on to God. He will never leave you.

Oh somewhere along the line he said talked about hidden Greatness and how we must be humble and self confident at the same time.

I hope i didn't miss anything :)

Rend Collective Experiment

Hey all!!! =D

Hope you guys are having a good week (better than me anyway, bleurgh trials!)

So since you are already online and reading this blog, i'm gonna assume:

A) you're bored

B) you can't study anymore

C) you don't want to study anymore

D) you have nothing better to do

E) you're secretly a unicorn (shhhh)

So my sis intro'd me to these guys from Britain! its called the rend collective experiment. Their songs are really catchy and meaningful. so yea, take a break and listen to them! their reallllyyy good =)

for easy viewing, just go to youtube to see it eh?

----------------

Now go back to studying! >=)

God bless ya'all =)

Somebody's birthday =P

This week at IMpact was very interesting right...WEILI?

Yes this week we celebrated our current president's birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEILI!

Haha...you suspected something, but didn't expect this right? =P

In other news, we had CG's again this week, and we discussed on parents...and how, even though they seem to be against you, they are still the better authority...and they know better

Parents, we have learned to appreciate you more =P

Later on we had a rather nice game of volleyball...

See you guys next week =D

Leadership, chuga-chuga-lead-lead!

A Leader

A leader is a person
Who IMPACTED your life
Who helped you escape
A life full of strife

He is an icon
Of which you look up to
One who did what had to be done
Because there were few

In other words...

A leader is a person
Who rose to the occasion
When no one else dared
To accomplish the mission

Is there a leader
In this life of yours?
Is there someone
That deserves your applause?

Poem by Pioneer (Hmm, SO MYSTERIOUS :P)

-
This week, Reuben shared with us about leadership! *pats Reuben on the back* "Good job, Reuben!" :D Well, basically, the poem above has pretty much summarized his sharing as a whole. The point which stood out to me the most from his sharing was that, as a leader, it is not only important that you encourage others, you need to be encouraged BY others as well! :)

Proverbs 27:17- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Tadaa~ I finally found the verse! :) So yup, Impactors, never forget to encourage one another under any circumstances at all, as your encouragement can really help one develop his/her leadership skills! Have a great week ahead! God bless you all! :)

CG's

HELLO :D

Yes, last Saturday impact had our first in-cell CG worship. Which means each cell group had their own worship in their cell. Yea, if you went... you should know what i'm talking about.

I'm sure all of us had a great time with our cell group :)

Getting to know each other better or just fellowshipping with each other.

CG's are held on the 1st and 3rd week of the month.

Next week, we will berbonding-bonding with our forms! :D

Have a great weeek! :) :)

Don't forget GOD!

Of Multitasking And Flying Cards

Impact this week started off with a heartfelt time of worship led by Miss Shin Lin! (it was her first time, whoooh! :D) Then, we had the wonderful privilege of having the best 'guest speaker' cos he has the special ability of taking in loads of oxygen (GAS speaker, HOHOHO) of all, our very own beloved,

  

THE JEFF CHOK!

Look! He so special. He SHARES on a CHAIR, HA HA HA :D

Okay, CHEESECAKE! *that was originated from me you know! :'D AHAHA* Anyway, Jeff shared with us about MULTITASKING.

Yes, multitasking here refers to:

Responding to people's questions while being hooked onto your electronic devices

Studying while logging on to Facebook at the same time

'Listening' to sermons in church while fiddling with your cellphones 

Doing your homework while listening to your favourite Taylor Swift song., ETC.

Multitasking can also refer to focusing on too many things at a time, until you become unproductive in all the things you needed to accomplish.Well, yes, it is true that God has given us the ability to multitask (imagine not being able to breathe while doing anything at all! Jordin Sparks different la, she NO AIR ma), but it doesn't mean we have to always put that ability into use, as multitasking may be useful at times, but at other and most times, harmful.

What I absorbed the most from Jeff's sharing today was that multitasking can actually affect your relationships with God, and with others.

Mark 12:30-31- "Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbour as yourself'. There is no commandment greater than these."

Remember, God said, the two greatest commandments are to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself.  So we're not going to neglect these two great commandments by multitasking excessively and possibly affecting our relationship with God and others, are we? Here, I give you another verse to reflect on!

Luke 5:16- "But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed"

Sometimes, we just have to take a break from the world, quit multitasking and being busy so much and spend some time alone with God; in prayer, just like Jesus did. To cut down on facebook, and face reality instead, which we know we CANNOT pull through alone, but only with and by God's strength.

After form discussions, the Impacters then had fun and fellowship; some played games upstairs, some played Mafia in the lounge and some.... (haiyo, *shakes head*)

HI, MARCUS! :D

LEON, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM! :P

Yeah, you get the picture. They had loads of fun with some 'flying cards'. So much joy found in a deck of cards :) Heehee.

So yup, Impacters, please do reflect on what Jeff has shared today. And have a blessed week ahead of you! 

REMEMBER, DON'T JUST FACEBOOK, FACE PEOPLE'S FACES! :)

God bless!

Of strong stomachs and giftings

We had a guest speaker this week.  His name is Ps. Simon.  He has a strong stomach.  That is his gift.

Okay, I don't have much to write about because I came late...I had a very valid excuse...
Well, from what I heard it was a good message...all the laughing meant it was okay.

Later on we split into our CGs... and NEW ROOMS.

Now I understand why the form 3s are so united...their room is so nice +_+

                                                   JEALOUS FACE

The crowd was quite down...are exams coming up?? I know the form3s are having theirs soon.

All the best =P

ImPact will keep you guys in prayers.

Station Games!

Literally.

There was the Police station. Hidung Engkau sudah hilang..

The Radio station. The Glee cast had lots of acne!?

The Fire station. chili sos with bread :/

The Weather station. its sunny today!

and lastly...

Stationary. Draw Charley and the chocolate factory using only your toes.

How lame can you get?

Nat is already lame.

I'm very sure everyone had a great time :)

Inter CG games are always fun! teehee.

For those who miss out all the fun, come for Cg next week kay?!

There's only pictures for stationary.. Cause Rayshell was there (:

The overall winner was Unidade and they choose to meet in the lounge.

Yep, the prize was to choose the cg's meeting place! :)

We had Gary's surprise B'day Party after that :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

May God Bless YOU, as you turn 16!

The Cross And The Switchblade...

Today we watched a MOVIE!!!

It talked about a minister's struggle to reach out to a New York Street Gang...


It was a good Movie....

What's happening at IMpact next week?

Not gonna tell but just telling you all to bring extra change and dark T-shirts =D

Obvious what's happening right?

INTER-CG GAMES!!!

Things are gonna get wet =P

Yifen is gonna delete this part =P

Yifen and Rayshell should never be allowed to access people's blogger    
 -_____________-" 

Follow Me

Impact started off with a new ice breaker :)

its called i'd never.

It was one good ice breaker ;D

then a worship led by tian xi, ken vyn, kevin and shin lin.

Then Ruth started off with a game of

Jenga

(i've always knew it as uno-stacko)

there were a few questions asked:

Why are you a Christian today?

What is the cost of following Jesus?

If we dont do what Jesus says, are we still His followers?

Mark 8:34

³⁴Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

it was serious, no fooling around.

Deny Self

Take up Cross

Follow Him

then they had an alter call for those who wanted to carry their cross. Following Jesus requires an outward expression..

Maybe you can serve him, or share the good news or by being a blessing to others :)

Martin luther once said:

A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.

So think about it.

Next week we'll be having a movie! :D

New

impact needs a new header picture for this blog.

The Desensitization of Evil

IMpact started with a game of 'Mass Mafia'.  It is like Mafia...except it's more massive =P

Then Jeff introduced the topic of our form discussion...TWILIGHT boooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Actually, the topic was about Vampires and their change in mythology.

  

Isn't it strange that we are being desensitized from evil?  Vampires, for example, were once regarded as pure evil, but in time, they became gangsters, and then eventually almost human.  What's the meaning of this??

Well...it's really up to you to come up with your own conclusion...

What's up next week????

Come and find out!!! =P

Cell Groups

U - Unidade ( Portuguese )

N - eNhed ( Danish )

I - Inite ( Hatian )

T - Touitsu ( Japanese)

Y - yhtenaisyys ( Finnish )

humiliated

I've got 6 minutes to blog impact the other day, wait, yesterday. Was it? oh yeaa.. sorry

So. there was the ice breakers..

which was explaining the meaning and the language of your group which was chosen by the committeeee.

it was kinda cool.

i still like 'unidad' (i dont think that's how you spell it..)

Then worship by yifen, joanna, alycia, gloria and tian xi. eh? why all girls ar?! :P

After that Pastor Aaron shared about john 13

which was Jesus washing his disciples feet.

He then showed us a video clip of a word for word passage.. It was SC (SO COOL!)

After explaining and all.. He suddenly said that Jeff and himself were gonna wash the Cell group leaders feet. And that the would have to wash their members feet.

For me personally it was like supper the paiseh. Letting Jason Wee wash my feet?

then we broke up into our cell groups and discuss about the meaning of being humiliated and being humble and all.

6 I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

IMPACT CAMP 2010

Well, for me was really great.

I dont know about you, but i guess MOST of us that went for camp had a GREAT TIME!

BTW we learn that AWESOME is only used for GOD

YOU see, if you use awesome to describe other stuff then the word Awesome would be less Awesome. In conclusion, only GOD is AWESOME!

There's many many more stuff that we learn in camp..

Really, really!

OKay i've decided to ask you readers out there (If there are any D: )

To visit the blogs of the campers..

Alycia's Blog will be updated about camp SOON! :)

Weili has updated a lil..

Yifen well, dont read hers! :P

Sarah has updated too!

So has Gloria :)

Liza updated as welll (:

I'll hunt down some more campers who updated about camp!

that's for now i guess..

Have a great week People :D

and do Devo!

Ciao.

Open Floor

Hey IM:pact is open tomorrow dont forget!!!


Just come for a time of fellowship and games!

----------------------

Did you guys enjoy camp?? Want to share?? IM:pact's floor is opened tomorrow for testimonies...it is good to testify on how this camp has changed you because each and every testimony is a solid knock out punch to the enemy....and I want to know how it went XD

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING...
REMEMBER TO LIVE A CONSISTENT CHRISTIAN LIFE...
THOSE BAG OF BURDENS THAT YOU'VE LEFT IN CAMP...SHOULDN'T BE CARRIED ANY LONGER...

All GLORY TO GOD!!

Burdens

Are you stuck?

Is something holding you back from allowing God to use you?

But don't you believe that God has the BEST plan in mind for you?

Then why not let Him work in your life?

He knows what's best for you. AGREED?

So why not?

Why not let Him use you?

Even though you still cant see the BIG PICTURE yet..

Its hard to let go.

Many of us wouldn't want to throw away our old lives and start all over.

Or Give up something very valuable to us

But Matthew 16:24-25 says

²⁴Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

Of Rain Drops and Forgiveness

I went to hear a speaker the other day who talked about forgiveness, and thought I should share this story with you all...

He was told this story by someone trying to understand forgiveness after he had told him about Jesus' forgiveness of sin:

'Is forgiveness like this?' the man began, 'Let's say we are a drop of water living on a cloud.  Then one day we became heavy with sin and we 'fell'! We fell all the way down and into a puddle of mud.  We became so dirty and wished that the dog will come and lick us so we could be clean.  But no matter how much the dog licked us, we could not get completely clean.  So God made the 'SUN' and He gave us, the raindrop, a way to get closer to the 'Sun'(Son).  Is forgiveness like this?'

I was like wow...God's love for us can be seen in the water cycle process!!!

Don't we have a loving God who sent His Son as a way to be closer to Him once again!!??

To update you guys on certain things

One...

We are gonna have a worship workshop kinda thingy this Saturday =P For those which God has given musical talent or have always wanted to learn an instrument, please come and learn.

Two...

We are also gonna have a worship recruitment then.  If you guys are interested to join the worship ministry please come.


Three...


We, as the committee, are gonna have a chit-chat with you guys to find out how you guys find IM:pact now.
If you guys got anything to say this is your chance...

Four...

Er....nothing =D

See you guys then!!

How Great Is Our God!

Hi there dear Impactors, after listening to Ps. Soon Hock's sermon this morning, I decided to watch a video I once watched during one of my school's CF Meetings which really left me in awe. I told myself that I MUST share this with you all. So, here the videos are, in this post. There are five parts to it, do feel free to watch all five, but here's the two which are similar to Pastor's message today about how BIG our Lord God Almighty  is!

 Okay, so let's just start off with this; We, regardless of height, size etc, are on that tiny speck there- namely Earth. Wah, then what is Pluto right!

Now watch these, and prepare to be jaw-droppingly amazed. Our God is an awesome God.






I'm speechless. Literally. We worship a star-breathing God, a God so great that no words can fully describe Him. Wow. Just look at how He created the universe.

Our beloved country, Malaysia is about 329 663 square kilometres (source: Geography revision book) in landmass. Pretty huge huh? *YA THINK?* What about the continent it's located in then? Asia. Asia is HUGEEE, seriously, who can deny that? Think Asia's huge?

What more the largest ocean in the world, the Pacific Ocean? What more the entire earth, consisting of around 195 countries and millions of species? What more the Sun? What more the entire solar system? What more the Milkyway galaxy? What more the entire Universe which consists of I-HAVE-NO-IDEA-BUT-I-KNOW-IT'S-A-CRAZY-NUMBER  galaxies?
How big, how GREAT then, is our God, the One who created all of these without even lifting a finger? The same God who knows the number of hairs covering every scalp on this planet. The same God who knows each of us by name and loves us unconditionally, who promised never to ever leave nor forsake us. We, we are like, smaller than yocto-organisms (prefix value of 10^-24) compared to all the stars mentioned in the video, and yet, this God, this GREAT God, is knocking on the door of each of our hearts, waiting for us to let Him in.

So, let Him in, will you?

God bless you all.

SANDS

See you all TONIGHT!!!

more coke?

I recommend you watch this video before you read on, it won't take you long =)

(but if your connection is THAT BAD, i forgive you. hahaha)

MORE COKE?

Lord, why is it you gave her a prettier face?

Why did you give that guy a smarter brain?

Why are they blessed with more talents than I do?

Why is it he can just learn guitar in a blink of an eye, whilst I? I have to practice 3x harder?

I'm stuck with this miserable tin can full of coke, yet you gave them a litre full.

seem familiar?

i'm sure it has. everyone faces this hurdle somewhere in your life, if not now then soon.

I definitely have faced this recently, which prompted me to share with you guys something i learnt this year,

on being grateful,

being thankful,

not merely focusing on the gift, rather the giver,

and most importantly,

how we should not waste our time

thinking about all the wonderful things

God could have given you,

rather focus on what is already given, and multiply it.

lets take a look at what the bible has to say abt this.

1 Corinthians 12

Spiritual Gifts

¹Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. ²You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. ³Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

⁴There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.⁶There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.

⁷Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.⁸To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, ⁹to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, ¹⁰to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

¹²The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. ¹³For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

¹⁴Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. ¹⁵If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. ¹⁶And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. ¹⁷If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. ¹⁹If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

²¹The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!"²²On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, ²³and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, ²⁴while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, ²⁵so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. ²⁶If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

²⁷Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. ²⁸And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. ²⁹Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? ³⁰Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?³¹But eagerly desire the greater gifts.

okkk.... maybe that was a lil bit too many words, but essentially, everyone plays their part in God's Kingdom.

So what if you are just a chunk of flesh on your, say, thumb. but imagine if that pieces of flesh isnt there, do you think you will be able to manoeuvre your thumb the same way?

rather than delving into biology on how cells work and such, simply the answer is NO.

your thumb will never be the same.

So if God see's fit, to give you a tin can of coke, praise His glorious name,

because he saw you fit, to be given a gift from God.

Are we going to take this lightly?

just mumble and sulk and not invest in God's gift?

I certainly hope not.

but heres another thought to ponder on:

Ppl who are given an immense number of talents, will never be rewarded as much as those ppl who strive hard, work harder to achieve the same goal. sure you have to to work harder, but hey, you definitely learned more, and you gained more in the long term. =)

so with all that said and done...

i have a craving for a bottle of coke...

God bless everyone~! study hard for your exams yea? =D

MY Healer

Healer

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

I don't care about the songwriter's conspiracy...and neither should we.  We should not stop singing this song even though it was written with the wrong intentions.  The lyrics says that God IS OUR healer...and He WILL heal us in any situation.

When we sang this song today...it was meaningful.  Worship today, even though the piano was not on and all, was just awesome.

Anyways...IM:pact was awesome.  We had something sort of a worship workshop, and don't worry, we are gonna have another one soon =D

I'm sure those who joined us for games after that had an awesome time at volleyball.  =P

Taking Up The Cross

Easter@IM:pact was...challenging...but I'm sure you all had fun...

It began with worship lead by James....then did the games begin!

IM:pact was split into groups and each group was given a cross to carry.  There were six stations and each station was made a difficult as possible...with equally tough punishments.  Why?

At each station...the groups had three options if they could not complete the task given: Give up a part of the cross, recite a memory verse or do the punishment....it's good that all the teams didn't want to give up the cross and they endured the punishments...which was the whole point of the games.

Basically the game was based on this theme: Are we willing to give up the cross the moment difficulty comes? Will we endure whatever that may come our way to hold on to the cross?

But are we really willing to do just that in a real life situation? When it's outside the church? Sure it's easy to understand the concept about holding on the the cross, but when we are faced with hardships?

The reason for the memory verse? When we are faced in a difficult situation, the Bible is our way out.  It is after all the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth...it HAS the answer to ALL our problems...ALL our troubles...ALL our tribulations.  So learn your Bible now and know how to 'answer every man'.

Another theme that was not in the original plan came into the games: John 15:13.  Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.  It was inspirational to see other members do the punishments to spare their friends who could not accomplish the task assigned.

I think we ARE ready to take up our cross:
