Last week there was impact. No duh. There wasn't any icebreakers last week. :( But, we had devo from Tiffany and it was about how there are two gates in our lives. There is the big, broad gate and there is also the small, narrow gate. Her devo came from Matthew 7:13-14.
This is the summary of her devo. Basically, there are two gates in how we live our lives. There is a big, broad gate, and there is also the small, narrow gate. Matthew 7:14 says, "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." The small gate is like an alley in KL, where you wouldn't wanna drive your car in it because it's so narrow and your car might get scratched, but you know that all the world famous food is in that alley. While the broad gate is like a highway, that gives you so much space but then the journey is boring. (My own interpretation xP)
We, as Christians, must always want to go through the narrow gate, even though it is definitely a difficult task. And we must stick with it for every day of our lives.
After that, we watched a video by GUM (for those who don't know, it's Greeters and Ushers Ministry) to encourage us youth at impact to join GUM to welcome people so that when we go for church, we don't feel like we're being greeted by a bunch of old people. So yeah, if welcoming people is your kind of thing, sign up for GUM. :D
Then, Jon split us up into our forms where we discussed about his sharings from the past few weeks.
And that was pretty much it for Impact this week.
IMPACT'S GOT TALENT IS THIS SATURDAY! Make sure the friends you invited come for the event ahh!

LOVE
Hey sorry I haven't been updating you guys. so this is what happened last week.
Well worship was really really good and heartfelt this week and even though Yi Fen had a sore throat, I thought she sang very very well :) It was a full band worship session and we rarely have those nowadays so it can only mean 1 thing... WORSHIP TEAM NEEDS PEOPLE! So do sign up by going to see James Lim or Reuel Liu kayy.
And Reuel did devo about judging others. Well, I find myself judging other people like ALOT. Whether conscious or unconscious, I judge people all the time and yea in the Bible it says how can we remove the speck from our brother's eye when we have a plank in our own eye? So we shouldn't judge because we ourselves are not perfect, let's leave the judging part to God kay?
This week Jon shared about loving God. There are 2 main parts in loving God -
1. Loving God
2. Loving people
Loving God: Firstly, we must connect with Him and one of the ways is obviously through worship. So we should worship God passionately and not just with the 'stony' attitude because He deserves the best. Imagine you go out with your boyfriend or girlfriend, your not just gonna stone there and just mumble a few words right? Of course you will connect with him or her with full of interest and your gonna treat him or her like their the best, so I think God deserves that or actually even more so worship Him with all your heart, soul and strength!
Next, we have to love the church, in our case here it is IMPACT. We have to love it and get involved in Impact activities and make Impact not just 'a regular hang out place' but make it OUR place where we get closer to God. So involve yourself in activities or just make yourself available. A good opportunity to do that is the upcoming Impact's Got Talent! Yi Fen and Tiffany are looking for ushers so if you wanna help out go see them and make yourself available :)
Moving on, we have to obey God's Word. So we should read our Bible to know what His Word is and then we have to obey it :) Besides, reading the Bible will help you know God better and thus you know who you are loving :) So do make your daily devo a priority.
Finally, we must love people, because in order to love God we must first love the people God put in our lives. If we cannot even love people who we can see, how can we love God who we can't see? And this doesn't mean you should just love your lovable friends because everyone does that, instead we should love the rejected and the people who are hard to love, Jesus Himself did that too :)
So yea that's all for this week. Sorry for the loong post and one final reminder:
IMPACT'S GOT TALENT IS NEXT WEEK SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COMEEEEE KAYY!
Thanks and God bless :)
