A race that i can't lose
9:57 AM |
Today is a extremely exciting day for me. I went to harbor front to meet Jia Ming, and later i went for the Hope Resource meeting. There are a few points that i learn from Jean (a sister from the adult group)
- no words that imply negativity
like "wa lau", "shit", "die le", "oh my god", "damn"
all these words imply lack of faith and it don't build people up.
Ephesians 4:29
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
- take pride in whatever we are doing, we are the ambassadors of Hope Resource
Colossians 3:23-24
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving"
As i was browsing through the bible today, i read this verse which is very interesting, and what we so often do
Titus 3:9
"But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless."
A lot of times, we are so caught up with investigating the laws, is the law still applicable to us after Jesus die on the cross and so many things. Yet, we forget that ultimately obedience to the scriptures are far more important than all these.
John 15:7
"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you."
These are my recent learnings. Pray that everything will run well tomorrow. Anyway, choosing the right words to speak is part of wisdom as well, it is biblical. We can see it from
Ecclesiastes 12:10
"The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. "
If speaking with the right words is unwise, King Solomon will not be the wisest king at that time already.
