reflections on ARE YOU IN TOUGH CLUB?

Eugene: I was supposed to be at council dry run but I told God I wanna be at church for him and sis wanping said there’s a reason why we’re at church, that the sermon was specially meant for us to hear from God. Indeed it was. I prayed for a praise and worship that was so different that I could feel God’s joy and awesome strength like never before and I did. Indeed I realised that I was getting lukewarm. Neither hot nor cold, useless. I began to read less Christian books. Read less of the bible each day because I’m tired, because I think I have read the verses before. That is all wrong! It’s really all about God, and I’m gonna defend, defend my disciples and myself from losing the fire for God.

Karyn: Colossians 1:9 speaks of how when Paul heard about the other believers in Christ, he did not stop prying for them and for God to fill them with knowing his will through spiritual wisdom and understanding. When I heard about this, I was enlightened by God that I should pray that my disciples will know about God’s will and understand it. Because that’s what we’re living for, to do God’s will.

Jaclyn: Today’s sermon spoke to me about being on the defensive side against Satan and his scheming plans and I’ve grown more determined to not sin in God’s presence anymore!

Annabel: I think that the sermon is very timely as I feel that I’ve lost the passion of coming to church. It’s more of a routine thing, and today’s sermon talks about being a lukewarm Christian.

Wenning: Today’ sermon was really interesting! God spoke to me about committing everyday of my life to him and everything that I do, I must honour him.

Yifang: I always thought that when bad things happen god is punishing me because I must have done something bad. But today’s sermon changed my view about this. That God actually uses bad things to draw us closer back to him. I also feel very blessed because I get crippled when I think that God is punishing me and get caught up in guilt but now I know that God really loves me and I’m happy.

Chapmen: Today I’ve learned about anxiety. Anxiety can be in a form of temptation. Anxiety can tempt me to do things like scoring higher than someone in your exams.

Chengyu: Today’s sermon was very timely. I have been very distracted when doing my quiet time and sis Wanping said “exchange what seems valuable to you for a treasure of God”. It spoke to me in the sense that sacrificing up a little bit of my time can be exchanged for a treasure of God. This really encourages me to do my quiet time with more of God and less of the world/me. Ken: Service was awesome and i felt the peace and joy of God. God spoke to me a lot. Provided me with guidance as to where i should head,how i should head, how i should be aware and build my faith to prevent losing the war. Amazing
