Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Girls!! Do come in a dress and, GUYS!! Come in a shirt with a tie.You will have lots of time to dress up enjoy urself and stuff at home yea.
BUT, please come down to kallang mrt by 5.3pm ok!! If ur worry that u'll be late, just plan your time by checking the time needed to travel there by means of any transport. =D
We'll be having dinner before the service. Its gonna be a very romantic place to have the meal. haha. I'm being sarcastic here yea. Try not to be in light coloured bottoms, just to warn you people beforehand.
Do look out for Keegen if you're meeting us at the kallang mrt station. Call him or scream his name out if you can't seem to find him yea.
REMEMBER!! BY 5.30PM!!!
Those who are going there themselves, try to queue as early as possible. We'll either meet u in the queue or at the seating area. Do call Keegen once you're there too.
We'll be sitting at the
WEST side, all the way in front, the most bottom sections yea. NOT THE FLOOR SEATS!! Look out for all the dare youths there!! haha.

Finally, this sat dg theme is sorta comfirmed. =D
We're gonna wear jap. But, if u don't know what to wear, try something which looks jap. If it's really that difficult, i would suggest i really try to think of more =D sorry. just crapping around=D If you really do not know, come normally. For the hair, jap also[meishi's idea] as in the guys and girls.
We'll be buying sushi as an add-on. Wondering "why sushi??", because i sorta realised that the "puppets" were not utilised fully. So, sushi, just buy then before the service can eat it all up. Simple??
So, we'll be meeting at 1.15 outside the rock. Then go buy the sushi for the group. And finally head for service!! After service there's post-service sharing too!! Do stay for it ok!! Have a blessed week ahead!! See ya all on sat for dare!! =D And do spread around to those people to see this blog ok!! Thanks!!

hey guys... hows DG today man?(my first post on this blog...or for the matter any blog) well i had a brand new revelation of the grace of GOD man... its abit late now but i wanted to share with those which never come what was shared during todays DG. we did bible study on Joshua 1:1~8 and Psalms 1:1~6.
ok...so Joshua who led the people of isreal into the promise land encountered giants. however, he saw them not as giant enemies BUT AS GIANT BREAD FOR US TO EAT. imagine how much we can grow(not horizontally) by eatting those huge giant piles of homework AMEN(i needed that)...
so verse 3 says that every where the soles of our feet tread upon will be ours for the taking.(soles here in hebrew literally means the sole of our feet AND the soles of all our belongings.) so rest in the finished work of the lord in your "o" levels for it is yous for the taking.(don't take your o levels paper and step on it ok?)
verses 5/6 proclaims that if the lord is for you, who can be agaist you? wanna compare the size of the lord to your homework? the lord is much bigger than the universe... he's a goggolplex times bigger den any of your circumstances. he will NOT FAIL YOU or forsake you. don;t care what your teachers say bout your results... cuz? JESUS WILL NOT FAIL YOU... he will giv you revelations in your studies amen?
verse 7/8 says that if we keep the law(Jesus kept the law PERFECTLY and as he is... so are we IN THIS WORLD which means we get all the benefits so don't find me saying i ask u all keep the law.) we will prosper whichever way we go. be in into triple science or double science... GOD created all the sciences.
that sums up Joshua... ok here comes psalms... and since i spent an hour on this...prepare for some CHIM-ology. wah this is so exicting... i feel like i'm preaching=.= ohh no... i wanna do back stage stuff... lord here i am...send me(back stage) ok... enough rambling... more good news.
PSALMS 1:1 blessed is the man(hebrew:steward) who walks(grow) not in the counsel(advise given) of the ungodly,nor stands(abide) in the way(a course of life) of sinners, nor sits(to abide) in the seats(dwelling places) of the scornful(people who like to scorn. so all we need to do is just don't grow on the advise from worldly people, don't live a life of sin. we should also try to avoid hanging out with people who always put us down. so remember to filter your eye/ear gates from the devil.(if u find trouble avoiding the scornful, just pray to the lord that he gives you the power/wisdom to avoid them.)
1:2 says to delight in the word of the lord. we should try to feed ourselves with the word of GOD. being fat with goodness is good right? goodness weigh nothing(i'm overweigh by the way) and to "meditate(to speak,mutter,ROAR,imagine,talk) day and night" on the word of the lord. and when you meditate on the word, you are pretty much eatting spiritually.
1:3 and he shall be like a tree(wood which signifies man) by(to be beside. so close that it is touching.) rivers(plural cause each of us have a "personal" river to tap from) of water(figuratively means body fluid) that brings forth(to give in great latitude of application) fruits(rewards) in his seasons. his leaf shall also not wither(fail or be disgraced) and whatsoever(ALL... E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G) he does(he is in charged of) will prosper(will bear fruit/rewards)
it basically means that just by accepting jesus, we have a river of life flowing within us which gives us rewards for our seasons(means ur amaths test coming up, GOD will give u a revelation on AMaths not chinese...or maybe both) our leaf(our organs and parts of our daily life) shall not fail. and EVERYTHING WE ARE INCHARGE OF WILL BEAR FRUITS.
1:4 the ungodly will be blown like chaff( unwanted stuff basically) away by a divine wind of GOD this verse is not saying that you will be blown away if you sin, but YOUR SINS HAVE BEEN BLOWN AWAY. we now no longer have sins in our lives and we are absolutely righteous in christ, so live life recieving the rewards for the righteous.
1:5 the ungodly(unrighteous) will not stand in judgement(judgement here is to BE JUDGE RIGHTEOUS. WE HAVE ALL BEEN JUDGE RIGHTEOUS.) nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous(righteous here is tsad-deek coming from tsad-dak which is to be GIVEN OR MADE righteous. we did not earn righteousness but we were given righteousness.)
1:6For the LORD knows(apointed) the way(the way of living) of the righteous(tsad-deek) but the way(way of living) of the ungodly shall perish(be voided of) does that mean the ungodly will die? yes by all means... the ungodliness within us will perish. we stand righteous before the lord because we are MADE righteous in the blood of christ.
and i hereby end my sermon. i suggest those that came for DG read too cause i added in alot of things i had no time to say during DG due to time. be blessed by what GOD has bless me with... Don't go holding back all the good stuff k? if any part of the "sermon" u feel uncertain about can always ask me cause i don't want you guys mis-understanding it. understanding it will really bless you though.
on a much lighter note, DG WAS AWESOME TODAY... i think its keng siang's first DG? even though i spent like only 1 hour doing the "sermon" up there, GOD seems to just speak to me and i feel so loved by him when there was like a small voice telling me all the little secrets in my head.wow... my first post sure is a lenghty one... must learn to cut down
