Martin Luther made one of his sweeping statements that almost takes your breath away. He said: “There are two sorts of people: sinners who feel they are righteous, and the righteous who know they are sinners.”
Those who are sinners trying to feel righteous have a technique to pull that off.
Comparative obedience. The Pharisee practiced obedience by comparison. That’s the power behind gossip. We compare ourselves favorably with others. We make ourselves judges in order to escape judgment. We forsake others for our own reputations.
How true. How true. We judge base on what we know. We deal base on how we feel. But we don't always see the full picture of things.
Therefore the need to be tactful in our bearings. Being tactful is not being pretentious. Being tactful means showing more consideration for others. Being tactful means to know the right way to make our stand.
People might think otherwise, but doesnt God knows who we are inside out. For me, that is enough.

Two Days Ago...
Happy birthday to me. I am officially 19 now! Cant act like an 18 year old guy anymore man.
It wasnt the most memorable birthday. And I know what's missing.
Went to n.y.d.c for lunch with some cg members. Food isnt great. CK will testify to that. He ate less than half his plate of pasta! But Weiliang saved the day with his 20% off vouchers. Well, they are famous for their mudpies I guess. So no qualms man.
After that, went to tao's cuisine restaurant for a family dinner. Pricey but good food served. Must try!
Anyway, thanks for all the wishes from everyone. Really appreciate them.
Oh God heal my ankle,,

Two hours of soccer. It is enough to wreck my ankle again. It just swelled with a niggling strain. And I thought it had already gotten better. Screw it man!
This is worrying! Will it never be the same again?!

Emerge 2007 ended with a bang of a message. What a message from God that inspired all the expectant hearts.
Oh God, let it not end here for anyone. Glory to glory.
Here onwards...

I have not blogged for ages. For the sake of people who have something against my previous song, I have removed it. Haha.

Emerge 2007 sparked forth with so much energy, inflamed with the power of God. Thousands of youths, and even adults were jumping, screaming and praising the Lord. No wonder it is the biggest youth conference in Asia!
But hype is one thing that certainly wouldn't last long, the juice that what most of us are after is God's touch. The juice that quenches our soul and refills us with visions. Or we can put it in just one word : Revival.
As I look around, I see many people that carries the tag, "I can do all things through Christ".
Some act upon their belief. For some, they only believe.
Some carry meekness. For some, pride.
Some rises up to challenges. For some, they back away with excuses.
Oh God, before everything else, revive my spirit. I believe in Your promise, not the devil's lies.
