"Now faithis being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
-Hebrews 11:1,6
THE STORY THAT CHANGES LIVES:
1: GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO KNOW HIM
HOW CAN YOU KNOW GOD LOVES YOU? 'God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.' John 3:16
WHAT IS ETERNAL LIFE? 'Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent.' John 17:3
Why is it that most people do not know God in this way?...
2: WE CHOOSE TO GO OUR OWN WAY, CUTTING OURSELVES OFF FROM GOD
WE ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE We prefer to go our own way instead of God's; we may openly disobey God who made us, or simply ignore him. It's this self-centred attitude that the Bible calls 'sin'.
WE ARE ALL THE SAME 'All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.' Romans 3:23
WE EACH SUFFER THE EFFECTS 'That way of living leads to certain spiritual death.' Romans 8:13
God is perfect, we are sinful, so there is a great gap between us. We may try to feel better through work, relationships, sport or religion. But all our attempts fail, because we have ignored the real problem - turning our back on God.
The third point gives us the only answer to this problem...
3: BY GIVING HIS LIFE FOR US, JESUS CHRIST OPENED UP THE ONLY WAY TO FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD
JESUS IS UNIQUE 'I am the way, the truth and the life!' Jesus answered. 'Without me no-one can go to the Father.' John 14:6
JESUS HAS THE POWER TO PUT THINGS RIGHT 'While we were his enemies, Christ reconciled us to God by dying for us.' Colossians 1:21,22
JESUS HAS POWER OVER DEATH 'For forty days after Jesus has suffered and died, he proved in many ways that he had been raised from death. He appeared to his apostles and spoke to them about God's kingdom.' Acts 1:3
Jesus took the consequences of our self-centredness by giving up his life on the cross. He proved he had broken sin's destructive power by rising from the dead. Jesus offers us freedom from guilt and a bridge back to God.
It's not enough just to know all this...
4: WE NEED TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST, SO WE CAN KNOW GOD'S FORGIVENESS AND FRIENDSHIP
WE NEED TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST 'Some people accepted him and put their faith in him. So he gave them the right to be children of God' John 1:12
ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST INVOLVES 1 Agreeing with God that we are to blame for turning our back on him 2 Trusting God to forgive us completely because Jesus has paid the price for our self-centredness 3 Choosing to follow Jesus
JESUS GIVES THIS PICTURE 'Listen! I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together.' Revelation 3:20
It's not enough just to know or feel that these things are true. We have a choice to make...
These illustrations describe two kinds of people
Self-centred person
Self in the driving seat.
Jesus Christ outside.
Interests centred on self, often resulting in discord and frustration.
Christ-centred person
Jesus Christ in the driving seat.
Self following Jesus Christ, drawing on his life and power.
Interests centred on Christ, resulting in growing harmony with God's purpose.
Which illustration better describes you? Which illustration would you like to describe you?
TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST, YOU MUST PUT YOUR LIFE IN HIS HANDS. GOD IS NOT SO CONCERNED WITH YOUR WORDS AS HE IS WITH YOUR ATTITUDE. HERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD SAY TO HIM:
'Lord Jesus, I am sorry that I have been going my own way. Thank you for paying the price of my self-centredness by dying on the cross. Please come and take first place in my life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be.'
COULD YOU SAY THIS TO GOD AND MEAN IT?
Why not say this to God now? Jesus Christ will come into your life as he promised

Does God exist? The following offers honest, straight-forward reasons to believe in God...
By Marilyn Adamson
Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe." Well, here is an attempt to offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists.
But first consider this. If a person opposes even the possibility of there being a God, then any evidence can be rationalised or explained away. It is like if someone refuses to believe that people have walked on the moon, then no amount of information is going to change their thinking. Photographs of astronauts walking on the moon, interviews with the astronauts, moon rocks...all the evidence would be worthless, because the person has already concluded that people cannot go to the moon.
When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God. On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you." Before you look at the facts surrounding God's existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know him? Here then, are some reasons to consider...
1. Does God exist? The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today.
2. Does God exist? The human brain's complexity shows a higher intelligence behind it.
3. Does God exist? "Chance" or "natural causes" are insufficient explanations.
4. Does God exist? To state with certainty that there is no God, a person has to ignore the passion of an enormously vast number of people who are convinced that there is a God.
5. Does God exist? We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him.
6. Does God exist? Unlike any other revelation of God, Jesus Christ is the clearest, most specific picture of God pursuing us.
Who is Jesus? A quick summary on the life of Jesus Christ - and reasons to believe in him...
By Paul E. Little
It is impossible for us to know conclusively whether God exists and what He is like unless He takes the initiative and reveals Himself. We must know what He is like and His attitude toward us. Suppose we knew He existed, but that He was like Adolf Hitler--capricious, vicious, prejudiced, and cruel. What a horrible realisation that would be!
We must scan the horizon of history to see if there is any clue to God's revelation. There is one clear clue. In an obscure village in Palestine, almost 2,000 years ago, a Child was born in a stable. Today the entire world is still celebrating the birth of Jesus.
He lived in obscurity until He was thirty, and then began a public ministry that lasted three years. It was destined to change the course of history. He was a kindly person and we're told that "the common people heard Him gladly." And, "He taught as One who had authority, and not as their teachers of the Law" (Matthew 7:29).
It soon became apparent, however, that He was making shocking and startling statements about Himself. He began to identify Himself as far more than a remarkable teacher or prophet. He began to say clearly that He was God. ...
Jesus Christ - the Son of God?
As we face the claims of Christ, there are only four possibilities. He was either a liar, a lunatic, a legend, or the Truth. If we say He is not the Truth, we are automatically affirming one of the other three alternatives, whether we realise it or not.
(1) One possibility is that Jesus lied when He said He was God--that He knew He was not God, but deliberately deceived His hearers to lend authority to His teaching. Few, if any, seriously hold this position. Even those who deny His deity affirm that He was a great moral teacher. They fail to realise those two statements are a contradiction. Jesus could hardly be a great moral teacher if, on the most crucial point of His teaching--His identity--He was a deliberate liar.
(2) A kinder, though no less shocking possibility, is that He was sincere but self-deceived. We have a name for a person today who thinks he is God. That name is lunatic, and it certainly would apply to Christ if He were deceived on this all-important issue. But as we look at the life of Christ, we see no evidence of the abnormality and imbalance we find in a deranged person. Rather, we find the greatest composure under pressure.
(3) The third alternative is that all of the talk about His claiming to be God is a legend--that what actually happened was that His enthusiastic followers, in the third and fourth centuries, put words into His mouth He would have been shocked to hear. Were He to return, He would immediately repudiate them.
The legend theory has been significantly refuted by many discoveries of modern archaeology. These have conclusively shown that the four biographies of Christ were written within the lifetime of contemporaries of Christ. Some time ago Dr. William F. Albright, world-famous archaeologist now retired from Johns Hopkins University, said that there was no reason to believe that any of the Gospels were written later than A.D. 70. For a mere legend about Christ, in the form of the Gospel, to have gained the circulation and to have had the impact it had, without one shred of basis in fact, is incredible.
For this to have happened would be as fantastic as for someone in our own time to write a biography of the late John F. Kennedy and in it say he claimed to be God, to forgive people's sins, and to have risen from the dead. Such a story is so wild it would never get off the ground because there are still too many people around who knew Kennedy. The legend theory does not hold water in the light of the early date of the Gospel manuscripts.
(4) The only other alternative is that Jesus spoke the truth. From one point of view, however, claims don't mean much. Talk is cheap. Anyone can make claims. ...
Evidence from the Life of Jesus
First, His moral character coincided with His claims.
Second, Christ demonstrated a power over natural forces which could belong only to God, the Maker of these forces.
Third, Jesus demonstrated the Creator's power over sickness and disease.
Fourth, Jesus' supreme credential to authenticate His claim to deity was His resurrection from the dead.
Why do I need God to be happy? "I have found happiness in my life. Why do I need to derive a sense of purpose and happiness from the concept of a 'divine being'?"

Ben Goh:
I grew up in a Christian family so the Gospel was not new to me. I attended Sunday School from young. So I knew all the stories like Noah's Ark and Adam and Eve. However at that point of time God was just some powerful guy up there to me.
It was only when I attended the Youth Leadership Training Camp in church that God really spoke to me. I remembered how I was just listening to the message in which there was a challenge. The Holy Spirit just melted my heart and I could just hear God speak to me. That was when I first realize how close a relationship I could have with God.
However of course there were sufferings, it was definitely difficult to maintain a Godly character in school and outside church. However God's hand has been slowly moulding me and as I looked back I was truly amazed at how God has made me into a better person. I now have a purpose in my life! To Glorify him in everything I do, to appreciate the many blessings he has showered on me like a loving family and incredible friends. All this in anticipation that little by little he will reveal his perfect will installed for my life.
Indeed I am so grateful for the people who have helped me with my walk with Christ – from my wonderful parents to my knowledgeable Grandmother and all the way to my pastors and all my fellow kias who have truly been a blessing to me! So as I open a new chapter in my life after the O-levels, I am extremely honoured to begin it by being confirmed as a Christian, to continue to enjoy and cherish my walk with God forever.
--------------------------------------------
Joel:
Being born into a Christian family, I knew all about God, Jesus and the common biblical stories. But I never knew God personally. My mother would read me stories about God. At the age of 8 or 9, I accepted God into my life. However, my life was still not dedicated to Him yet. I could barely feel His presence. The only reason for me to keep remembering Him was my family. Whenever trouble arose within or outside my family, I would pray to God for a miracle.
Most of the time, He would answer my little cries for help. But when he didn’t, I would just think that He was already planning or had already planned my next part in life. To me, life itself is a miracle. Everything was planned by God and not by fate or chance. Eventually when things seemed bad, I would remember that things always turn out good, exactly the way God would’ve wanted it to be. Even if I cannot see it for a few years, always remembering that God is there helps me through the difficult times.
I may not be able to see God directly, but I can see His works in my life. Everything that He has done for me has an impact on making me who I am today. God gave me an outgoing brother to strengthen me up and make me more “manly-like”, a sister who cares for me, a father to look up to and a mother who shares with me her faith.
My reason for deciding to be confirmed? I just want to see myself continue to grow the way God wants me to. But the reason I choose to be confirmed now is that I want to rededicate my life once again to Him.
---------------------------------------------
Marianne Hui:
Growing up in a Christian home, I’ve always known who Jesus is. I found it easy to believe in God because I was happy as a child, I loved going to church, and I was loved by those around me. But when I was 10, I remembered some people giving a presentation at Sunday school and when the leader prayed at the end, I broke down, overwhelmed by his grace and love. And that very day, in my heart, I accepted Jesus as my Saviour.
6 years have passed now, and it is my desire to continue seeking the Lord and delighting in his presence. There was a period of time when I was filled with doubts about God, and the emptiness and turmoil within was unbearable. As I called up to God in desperation, He once again filled me with His peace.
I can’t imagine living this life without God leading the way. So I have given my life to Him, trusting in His perfect plan for me, letting Him use me for His glory.
---------------------------------------------
Melissa:
I was born into a Christian family, thus I grew up going to Sunday School and was taught about the Christian faith and what it meant to be a Christian. As with all children, I accepted what was told to me and believed it to be true. The faith I had was merely the faith that other children had that fairytales were true, and no more than that. I grew up with that kind of faith, and throughout the years of Sunday School I was able to give “model answers” and “correct answers” to Biblical questions.
But as I entered my teen years at the age of thirteen in the year 2004, I started to question the faith I had grown up to believe in. I began to have questions and sought a deeper understanding of the Christian faith, while also praying about the questions I had. I continued going to church regularly, mostly out of duty rather than a passion to hear God’s Word. I felt that I never seemed to receive answers to my questions, so I stopped praying about those questions I had.
In June 2005, I decided to attend my annual school camp organised by the church affiliated to my school, All Saints’ Church. During the last worship service of the camp, I truly felt touched by God as I prayed and worshipped Him, and in that moment, all my questions were answered with this assurance from God through His presence, which nearly felt tangible. For the first time, the Bible knowledge I had known since young seemed so real and I was left in awe of God’s love. As I left the camp that day, I knew my life had changed in a major way and for the better.
Since that incident, my life has changed, by knowing God, loving and trusting in Him. I have faced many challenges since then, especially in my role as a student. My faith has been tested many times, through peers, as well as situations where I had only God to depend on. I am, among countless others, a testament to God’s love, grace and strength.

i am secretly kiera knightley YES I AM
HELLO EVERYONE! have YOU taken part in the Heroes Competition OR NOT???? THIS ONE THIS ONE ON THE RIGHT OF THIS POST! ---------------------------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

or kiera knightley (aka Orlando Bloom's ONSCREEN WIFE *SCREAMS*).
desiree wants a post for the promise musical. here it is.
this is what desiree thinks about the musical: "The Promise musical was really cool. The singing was good, props elaborate.. the mistakes made were funny lol. The styrofoam cross broke during the last show tonight. Hahaha. That was hilarious. But well, it wasn't simply all fun and games and music; the message behind it all, the story of Jesus, touched many hearts.To me the main thing it made me think about was the amazing fact that God actually came down as a helpless baby, lived as a human, suffered and died a humiliating death, and then came through victorious by rising from the dead. It's like.. God experienced what it's like to be a human. He knows how it's like. He can understand when we suffer, when we feel abandoned by God. But the best part is, unlike us, He got through it, He was put to the test and He overcame both sin and death. Jesus really is the new way to be human. I'm blown away by that profound realisation.
And where is our inspiration? When all the heroes have gone Hey kids, could we be the ones? 'Cause nobody's famous, and nobody's fine We all need forgiveness, we're longing inside
There's a new way to be human It's nothing we've ever been There's a new way to be human It's spreading under my skin There's a new way to be human Where divinity blends With a new way to be human New way to be human
You're throwing Your love across my impossible space You've created me, take me out of me into A new way to be human, to a new way to be human You're a new way to be human Where my humanity bends To a new way to be human Redemption begins You're a new way to be human You're a new way to be human You're the only way to be human You're a new way to be human (-'New way to be human' by Switchfoot)"

"Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too"
"Just leave all the lights on ... it makes the house look more cheery"
"Let me smell that shirt -- Yeah, it's good for another week"
"Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I'll be glad to feed and walk him every day"
"Well, if Timmy's mom says it's OK, that's good enough for me."
"The curfew is just a general time to shoot for. It's not like I'm running a prison around here."

A dumb blonde is walking along, lost, and encounters a deep and wide river. She looks up and down the river for a way across but is unsuccessful in finding one. Yet, when looking to the other side again, she happened to see another blonde on the opposite river bank. She tried calling to her."How can I get to the other side of the river?" she shouts loudly.The other blonde replied "What for? You are already on the other side of the river!"
Ok that's all we're gonna post for now...sorry for the trial on your patience. Ha. Until next time! =)
A mama camel and her baby camel are talking one day when the little one ask, " Mum, Why I havegot these 3 toed feets?" Mama Camel replies, "Well my little camel, when we trek accross the dessert your toe will help you stayon top of the sand so that it will prevent you fromsinking."
"I see!" said the little camel.
A few moments later, the little camel ask, "Mum,Why I have these lovely long eye-lashes?" Mama camel replies, "they are there to keep the sand out ofyour eyes on the long journey through the hot dessert." "Thats wonderful Mum", replies the little camel.
A short while later the little camel asks again , "Mum,Why I have got these great humps on my back?" Mama Camel replies, "Oh, they are there to help youstore water for our long journey accross the dessertso we can go without drinking water for very longperiods." "Wow!! That great," replies the little camel.
We have great feet to stop us from sinking into the sand, long eyes-lashes to keep the sand from entering our eyes and the humps to store water, "BUT Mum !!!" "Yes, my little camel?" replies Mama camel. "BUT THEN,"WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE ZOO??"
The feet, eyes lashes and the hump of a camel were created for travelling in the desert. That is the purpose of these of that which they were given to the camel. Being stranded in the zoo these were not no longer really needed and fulfill their purpose.How about us? We don't have big feet (or maybe some does) the long eye lashes and hump, but we were created to trust and obey God. And He wants us to be witnesses for Him. If we are not, then what is?Are we in the zoo? or are we suppose to be out there....

Always observe traffic signs. It is a part of good driving habits.
Signal your intentions early to allow other motorists ample time to react. It shows that you respect the rights of other motorists.
Wave to say "Thank You" when another motorist gives you the right of way. It is a basic courtesy.
Plan your journey so that you know your way. Start early to avoid speeding or violating traffic rules.
Ensure that you are belted up. If you encounter reckless motorist, avoid provocative gestures or foul language, and refrain from horning loudly and flashing your vehicle headlights excessively. Exercise a little patience.

yesterday, the FUN-FILLED-DESIREE'S-SUPPOSEDLY-SUPRISE-BIRHTDAY-PARTY-WHICH-WAS-SUPPOSED-TO-SURPRISE-DESIREE took place. some how she came to know about EVERYTHING. including the WHIPPED CREAM (cause i blogged about it? SORRY PEOPLE.) haha but it was still fun. the sec one and two (PLUS ONE VIP6(very important primary 6) ) girls put in lots of effort in it(but mostly is one sec 1 girl(becky) and the VIP6 and a few others) so we decided the process should be documented on the ff blog. \
but first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DESIREE! D19!!!!!!! YAY
on friday, after going to giant to get balloons and 4 cans of soup, becky and i went to her(becky's) house! we baked cookies (which turned out awesomely awesome(as marilyn would describe them as))! we baked lots of them! 3 boxes! oh and we blew up the balloons. baked the cake. then went to fairprice at get drinks. came back and met NATALIE! then went back and did the frosting for the cake. the frosting turned out ugly (ALL BECAUSE THE "D" SHAPED COOKIE BROKE!) so we removed the frosting and decorations on top WITH OUR BARE HANDS! got dirty! MUAHAHAHHA TO ALL WHO ATE THE CAKE, YOU MIGHT GET FOOD POISONING. lucky i never eat. HAHAHAHAHAH ok but anyway, after removing the decorations, the cake looked professional cus the marshmallow cream and the chocolate frosting sorta mixed and it looked professional. HAHA. after cleaning up and a scary-2am-trip-to-7-11-to-get-some-supper and eating the cup noodles up, went to watch some tv and then to sleep (at 3:00am!) thats HOW MUCH SLEEP WE PUT INTO THE PARTY! HAHAHA (THATS WHY I WAS PIGGY BEFORE FF STARTED!) supposed to wake up at 7:30 but woke up at 11 am instead. HAHA. decorated the cake and made some egg white thing! hahaha yeah the went to church. at 1:30 (chris sent us there) ok so blahblahblahblahblahblahblah found out during church that desiree knew about the WHOLE PARTY THING! arghhhhhh! after church, went to rebecca's house! then it was CHICKEN WING AND PASTA TIME! AND DRINKS ALSO! haha. after the eating and drinking, there was a mini whipped cream fight that desiree found out about and had brought an extra shirt.... (HOW CAN SHE KNOW SO MUCH? IS SHE THE NEXT HERO (TIME)? FIND OUT IF SHE IS HERO#6 IN 2 WEEKS TIME!) HAHA. ok anyway we were spraying whipped cream on our hands and throwing it at her shirt (she requested for that!) she took the whipped cream off her shirt and threw back at us!! then came the cake that becky and VIP6 were so proud of. but the cake was kinda flat. HAHA. after the birthday song and desiree's stoning-for-ten-seconds-pretending-to-be-making-a-wish, the candles were blown (in five blows. it went like... first blow, four candles went out, second blow, 2 went out, 3rd blow, 2 went out, 4th 1 went out, and 5th, the last one went out.) NOOB! hahahaha after a day of fun joy and laughter, there was a conclusion (or whatever) made : next year, there shall be a halloween party (another one) for both desiree and ben! YAY! HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DESIREE AND BEN! CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR WHEREBY DESIREE WILL NEVEREVERKNOWWHATTOEXPECT! MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

God is perfect, we are sinful, so there is a great gap between us. We may try to feel better through work, relationships, sport or religion. But all our attempts fail, because we have ignored the real problem - turning our back on God.
Jesus took the consequences of our self-centredness by giving up his life on the cross. He proved he had broken sin's destructive power by rising from the dead. Jesus offers us freedom from guilt and a bridge back to God.
