Freedom Post/Sharing

Hi guys,

Just wanna say a big congrats to the whole church for making past 1000 views in the last few months or so! Hahahahhaha. Although we can't say 1000 people have been blessed, but at least we can say that God has been using us to encourage people from different walks of life, and a lot more people, for that matter, than the 6-12 people we have in our church. Praise God. Keep the comments and questions coming, errrrr....please comment (remember: nothing is too small to be commented about, and you don't have to wait for the 'correct people' to give the 'correct answer'--all of us have a part to play to spur one another towards a greater understanding of God), and yes, feel free not to make this a too serious church blog: scriptural jokes (no matter how lame or irreverent they are), games, reflections on your life etc are all welcome. So long it's not blasphemous, so long it's an honest reflection of who you are, it is most welcome.

Oh and yes, non-Outreachers are most welcome to leave your comments too. If you feel there's something to bless the church, leave it in a comment (even if it's unrelated), and when the leaders take a look at it, if it's really that good we can post it up for you and let the members know you made a contribution to the church. :)

Since we are talking about certain admin matters--just wanna encourage the folks in our church to continue giving to the Lord~ As usual, the problem is not that we don't give, but the leaders (ooops) usually forget to bring the offering bag. Bad, bad, bad. So will appreciate it when you all remind us to bring and to give to the Lord. 2 urgent matters on the plate: giving to the poor, and giving in terms of administration--the church will be holding prophetic services soon and we need to use a place slightly more conducive, i.e. we will need to pay some rent. So time for us to start giving to the Lord, and to really enjoy the pleasure of giving the way the Lord wants us to. And I trust that even in this small mundane thing, you will experience the joy of the Lord and a deepening of your walk with God. Leave you with a famous quote: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Famous person? Jesus. :D

As I end this note, my mind is reminded of freedom--"now where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom". I end this note with a blessing--may our church continue to be a place where the Spirit of God has freedom to do whatever he wants; where people are free to express themselves to God; where our holiness and actions stem from freedom rather than pressure; and where the bound, heavy laden, hurting all come--to receive freedom. May all of you in our church and beyond continue to experience the "year of the Lord's favour"! Amen!

Agape,

Dan
