When I Say I'm a Christian by Carol Wimmer

When I say…”I am a Christian” I’m not shouting “I am saved” I’m whispering “I was lost” That is why I chose this way. When I say…”I am a Christian” I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble And need someone to be my guide. I rely on His strength alone. When I say…”I am a Christian” I’m not trying to be strong. I’m professing that I’m weak And pray for strength...

Prayer Powerrr

Hui Xian says: Hey all! Remember last Saturday during Expressoul, we spent it praying for our friends whom we want to invite to the Max Brenner outreach? I had a group of friends in mind already then. Quite a number of my school friends are very skeptical towards Christianity, but the past few days I have been praying for them. That God will make that change in their lives and open their heart...

Hey! Just wanted to share a verse with you guys. :) The Lord is NEAR to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who FEAR him; he also hears their cry and saves them. Psalms 145:18-19 > God is there for us through our exams and crappy periods in our lives! :) Love, Joyce

U-turn!

Hui Xian says: Hello friends, Liz suggested that I share this experience here, and I think it’s a good idea too! So here goes. Earlier this week, I had a class test (10% of the final grade) at 1.30pm. I spent the night before studying till about 4am. And then I set about 5 alarms for 8am++ because I had to go for a 9.30am lecture before the test. I did my QT before sleeping, and I...

Something random, yet interesting

We all have this ‘stranger’ in our homes… beware ‘he’ becomes a pal that surpasses our family…. A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then...

(: Just found two verses that I’d like to share: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25 U-Connect is a time where we can share our personal experiences with each...

Wait by Russell Kelfer

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried; Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied. I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate… and the Master so gently said,’Wait.’ ‘Wait? you say wait?’ my indignant reply. ‘Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!’ Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard? By faith I have asked, and I’m claiming your Word....

Hi Everyone. I just thought I would share this with you because I really feel that God is good and well, I should just share it with all of you. (it’s a really long winded story so please bear with me) For the past 2 weeks or so, I have wanted to quit my current job in the event company I am working in. Though the people here are really nice, I wanted to spend more time with my family and...

1 Timothy 4:12

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these...

Why go to Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. “I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by...
