Went to church and I must say I was very touched today and at the same time excited as NTM(New Tribe's Mission) came to inform us of their coming activities.(by Bro.Calvin Tan)
I'm really hoping to get a chance to be a missionary.
First of all,there was the usual BOB(breaking of bread) service,which has a song session. I must confess that today Aaron proposed a song that truly touched me.(next post)
Then there was the message by Bro.Calvin Tan on Life's lesson From the Life-Giver ; laying up Treasures in Heaven . Although this is a topic I am quite familiar with,i was still touched/reminded/convicted of how true and urgent this topic is to us.
Here's a breakdown :
-WE must sacrifice ALL we have for the hidden treasure = H.E.A.V.E.N
-ALL that this world has to offer PALES in comparison to what God has in store for us in H.E.A.V.E.N
-This is not our true home(earth),we are merely passer-by's. H.E.A.V.E.N is our one true home.
-Christ is the ultimate financial planner. He has already given us the ultimate insider marketing tip. and that is to exchange all our earthly treasure for heavenly one's. Don't get it?,it's simple really...
Imagine yourself living at the time when the civil war was almost over,now the civil war was between the confederate's and US. (In the end,US won.) Now,imagine you knew that US were gonna win the war but you live in confederate territory and you've got a huge stockpile of confederate currency.Wont you immediately exchange that pile of confederate currency (that will be of no longer use when US win the war) with US currency (that will be of value once US wins the war) while keeping a enough confederate currency that will last for a short-period of time till the war is over?
Now,substitute this story with God's term...,Get it? (Christians believe in Christ's second coming whereupon everything will be judged and this world will merely pass away.)
-This above action is describe as not only a smart move but a logical one.
*-Among the verses in the Bible that are reference for this topic are =
