yo peeps. this suppose to be last saturday post, but too tired and busy to post it. therefore drag until now. please pardon me and thank you. surprisingly, i went to Jurong West for service on saturday. to my surprise, there was no preaching at all. it was a Q&A[question and answer] session with Dr Kevin Dyson. a pity sister Joy wasn't there, but she did attended expo service on sunday. anyway, back to it. just wanna share about what happen during saturday's Q&A session. its roughly the same idea, talking about relationship. GUYS! listen up! the Q&A on sunday is directed to you all, GUYS! what is shocking about saturday's Q&A was that i heard it before. hmm... pondering and wondering, deep in thoughts. how could it happen? obviously not live la. i hear before the whole service in my dreams! shocked? i myself was, that's when i was trying hard to figure out how come the scene was super duper familiar. when i even could tell what is Dr Dyson gonna say before he even open his mouth. anyway. much similar for saturday and sunday Q&A session la. but one difference is that, Dr Dyson talks about "Jesus second returns" on saturday, and not on sunday. *thinking hard, recalling what he said.* he shared about a story to us, to help bringing the picture into the mind's of the congregation.
[pardon me. story is in vague memory, not vivid at all.] the story is about a master and his servants. the servants were brought along to a wedding feast, provided if they did what as their master instructed. the master went out before the feast started. they were suppose to light their lamps or something, as each individual one has it. so they did what were told. those lamps were use to direct or signal the master that that's the home or something like that? [gosh! i really can't remember the story.] after a while, the rebellious heart pumped. one servant suggested to "eat snake" [jia zuah]. they decided to wait till is nearing the time their master is going to be back, then they will start borrowing oil lamps/ fuels/ candles [whatever it helps to light up]. arrangement was such made that, around the neighbourhood, no one has spare/ extras of any of these things, neither does all the shops. therefore, for a foolish mistake, they weren't able to attend the wedding feast.
what Dr Dyson wants to get across is, our spiritual life. this story is like the current us. no one knows when Jesus second return will be, so we have to always be prepared. we have to build up our spiritual life, individually. because, we can't be like those lazy servants, to borrow others possesion at the last minute. quote from Dr Dyson: "you can't borrow other people's spiritual life for yourself." which is true. you don't borrow things at the eleventh hour and moreover, other's spiritual life. so don't be lazy in building strong foundation and living. and while we prepare all this waiting for HIS return, reach out to people as well. quote from Pastor Tan: "humble down. everyone is equal." so peeps, we gotta humble ourselves to reach out to others [not saying e462 is proud, but peeps, you know who you are.] don't because you are rich, smart, in authority or whatever else, then you are high up. it will be difficult to reach out to the surrounding, our friends. i didn't record the service, so i can't type exactly word by word. so please pardon me. just wanna try to get the message across, because i think its really great. 大家加油!
[i know this is a stupid post. you wasted time reading this.]
