Ordination or not?

After talking with pastor LT last week, he is pretty supportive to Impact. No one would think that we could make it financially as a youth church. People thought that we couldn't possibly find the money to support the ministry anyway, but after all we experienced that our God is truly the provider. Remember, our first Sunday meeting there were less than 20 young kids at the art studio. Our tithe is still low but our faith is high in Jesus; as long as there is another soul being saved through our ministry, money will come.

Time to ordain me as a Reverend/pastor? No idea why when it was brought up by pastor LT. Guess it sounds good to have a title. Nah...just keep doing what God puts in me. Perhaps I would print out a huge board with the word Reverend on the it and walk around feeling important...or not! >.< Well...when the time comes, I will need the title; and now it is not.

Lord, help us to grow in humility and boldness. Empower each one of us with Your Spirit, Father God. Amen.

Take it by force

Matthew 11:12

"And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."

Kingdom is taken by force. Not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord.

What kind of Christians should we be again?

Love is violent! Cross is violent!

Wow...did you get that?

Monday morning

God always does something out of our expectation. Great, isn't it?
So glad to hear good testimonies on boldness. God surely loves what we ask of Him. We want courage. We want boldness. We want the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Ok. Monday morning... I am having a stomach ache, meaning I went to restroom for more than 2 times in one hour. hmm...you don't wanna know what happened. I guess after a long night sleep (9 hours), I had a couple of weird dreams; anyway my stomach was pretty empty by dawn. That means I need to recycle my waste....TMI. :)

oh well...I think about becoming a farmer who sows the seeds and harvest the crop in seasons. hmm...it's Monday morning.

Homeschooling is illegal now in CA?!

This is an outrageous decision from the Supreme Court of California. They decided to ban homeschooling in the State of California, soon perhaps in the rest of the USA. This could mean all those 200,000 California homeschooling kids would be forced to go back to public school; if not, the parents would face persecution even being put in jails.

Guess…this is time for us to knee down and cry out for God’s mercy. Revival comes in persecution, eh?

Fine...I will post something here.

I prayed for boldness last night at the Prayer Room. I was there by myself thinking there were so many Muslims chanting right next door; and I felt like I was Elijah facing the 400 false prophets. Of course I am exaggerating about the numbers, but nevertheless I felt a need to pray for boldness over Impact leaders. After all, we live in a society that constantly challenges our value and morality. Issues like same sex marriage, abortion, SB777, illegal immigration, war or Osama Bin Laden; don’t you think we need to have an extra strong mind or heart to live in this era? Well…I need extra mercy and boldness from the Holy Spirit.

Increase my boldness, God; so that I can stand firm for you and my generation. I am doing it.

hmm...

hmmm...
