My Dream

Yesterday night I dreamt that Singapore was being bomb by some other country (not going to reveal here) and I was running. It felt so real.

The question that came to me was, "If I die tomorrow, will I be in Heaven?"

Sometimes I feel my life is not worthy to be with God. I have that doubts sometimes. Do you? Insecurity and fear just overwhelms me. There are times where I seriously feel so incompetent.

My encouragement to you guys to to work out your salvation. Don't just sit around and think that everything will be well tomorrow. What if you die tomorrow? What if Singapore does go to war tomorrow? Do we only call on God in times like these?

There is a call to live like Jesus is coming back tomorrow. There is a call to pray. Sense the urgency and sense the time. God is coming home sooner than we know.

Do You Know what I Know?

Yesterday, Pastor Wilfred was sharing about what Pastor Sony Ooi preached.

He talked about the "I know, I know, I know." It's amazing how much things we all know. We can tell stories from the bible because we have heard it before but can these stories be applied in our lives?

To translate head knowledge to the spiritual is never easy. I was just reflecting on Deuteronomy 6:5 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Easier said than done. As I grow older by the year, more things to do, the things of these world seems to be more attractive. It is truly a struggle. There is no denying.

The song "This is My Desire" came to my mind. I remembered once Pastor Wilfred said it was hard for him to sing this song as when you sing, you don't sing for the sake of singing but because you mean the words. Now I struggle singing these words. We can easily sing how worthy, how wonderful or even for God to hear our now prayer but to truly desire and love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength? 

Is this all just head knowledge? I know that I should love God, I know that I should do this and do that. But are we truly doing it and mean what we say? Let's just spend sometime reflecting on this.
