i really thank God for the passion project and stuff going on in the church right now, and how the whole church is mobilised to share Christ to at least 5 peers in a week. and as leaders, the unit coreteam went for street evangelism on monday, at toa payoh central. i guess its what i call a whole new experience for me. i mean approaching strangers and all, im fine with it since the job i once had required me to do all that. but its another to approach a stranger, not knowing what to expect, give them a survery form to fill in, and in that short time, build a rapport with the person, and at the end share Christ with him or her, and hopefully that person would come to know the giver of life.

i would say Chantel puts it across well. its really a test of how ready we are to share the gospel. how ready we are to share about our own life testimony. and how courageous we can be for Christ. it certainly changed my outlook on this whole project alot, as in what it really did take to save a soul.

off we went, in the northeast JCs, as bodies of Christ in the various JCs, and spread the gospel, from monday to wednesday. you could just sense that very something moving in the spiritual realm, where the greatest and fiercest spiritual battle between God and the devil, is taking place in the area of outreach.

and after all that sharing, all that stories of the power of life transformation, i got to tell you, i felt this very personal closeness with God, such a closeness which i often took for granted. i realised the true meaning of compassion, and sharing the gospel out of love. i got to see what it took for Christ to change my life, and how it changed so many others, in that time of sharing. gosh it just seems that i cant really hold my emotions well at times. its like i shared till i could feel tears dwelling up in my eyes, and it took another person's comment to confirm that. tears of compassion? i felt such an urgency.



"2I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 4Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. 5Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place."
Our zeal and our intensity dont evaporate. Satan steals the hot embers of devotion and consecration. but the true question is, are we letting him do all that? are we allowing room in our lives for Satan to come and invade our lives? are we holding on to stuff which we cant let go off, which we are unwilling to let go off? Notice the progression of how the devil does his work, ..steal.. kill.. destroy.. The devil comes to steal, kill, and lead on to the path of destruction.



"18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." - 2 Corinthians 3:18



God gives us evermore. God gives and definitely wants us to excell and dwell in His kingdom, and to give thanks in His courts. surely time and our spiritual age does not matter in this case. does our spiritual hunger really wear out with time? with God's ever-increasing glory, instead, it should be that we lead greater biblical lives, shine forth a greater light in His name.


Are we having that everday conciousness and readiness to listen to God? Are we truly living our lives, as one that has received the saving grace and edifying power of Christ Jesus? The greatest power where it is the most evident, is in life transformation.
