Ryan: Oh my, when I came to this blog after coming home from camp, I was pleasantly surprised to see a post by Joel Pang. Then I thought maybe Joycelyn posted on his behalf. Then when I read his blog and found out what happened, oh my gosh..how did you endure 3 hours of a dislocated shoulder? Ow. Does it still hurt badly now? Oww.. Ya probably right. My gosh. I can imagine you having to hold your dislocated arm cos it can't lift itself. Ssss.. Ow. Do update us through Joycelyn when you go back to camp k. Wanted to call you just now but realised it's late already.

Thanks kenneth and junting for sharing on Isaiah 53. When I watched the Healer videoclip, and the cancer guy read that passage out, I almost teared. I can't imagine, this is the love of God for me. God so huge, made this entire world, made all the planets, the auroras haha - this God sent his one and only Son to die for me, so that I may have eternal life. All that my sins have done to him. I don't want to sin anymore. He didn't have to suffer and die. But he did.

"Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God who is in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:39

Right now I just feel I need to spend some quiet time with God, just thinking about His love, my sins. Just thanking Him. I shall do just that after posting.

Next sunday I'm giving sermon in JYM titled "Only by the Cross I am saved". Haha, thanks junting for the sermon notes! I'll definitely read Isaiah 53. And guys do pray for me! I think I'll post some of my sermon plans here so you guys can help me edit.


Hm about God forgiving and forgetting..logically God cannot forget anything because He is all-knowing. I think when 1 Cor 13 says the love 'keeps no record of wrongs', it means that love doesn't bear a grudge. Not literally that the wrong is completely wiped out of your memory kinda thing.

God forgave Israel again and again for their sins. But He reminded them of their sins as a warning to be careful not to fall again. (see first few chapters of Deuteronomy, where Moses speaks to Israel just before they enter the promised land, and recalls their exodus journey. E.g. Deut 1:26 -28, Moses reminding Israel about their previous rebellion.)


To Kenneth, I have a lot of faith in this cell too. I mean a lot of faith in God that this cell really, is a place where everyone loves each other, and helps each other grow. Yeah fellowship is a deep word, but I think we're getting there step by step. I see God working in people's lives. Fellowship involves intimate sharing of lives, and that requires us to be willing to open ourselves to each other. I'm glad everyone's slowly opening up. Haha I can really relate to your praying in secret thing. This week finally I took the courage to kneel down and pray in bunk during quiet time. Kneeling is not necessary la, but for me I felt it is, cos it helps me to remember that I am small before God, and that I do not deserve His forgiveness.

Thanks everyone for praying for me this week!! Wah it was quite amazing. I was down with cold from Monday till Wed. Wed I asked you all to pray with me, and on Thursday morning, training was miraculously cancelled so I could recover.

Friday morning's training was very tough though so I had a bit of headache and sneezing after that but it's ok cos weekend is here so no more training for a while. Anyway I'm fine now.

Keep Joel Pang in prayer...actually I wonder how is he gonna sleep tonight. Like if while sleeping he turns onto his dislocated shoulder. Oh man. Haha. Take care man, update us k.
