Dear Glowers,
I just want to share my thoughts on our beloved Pastor's sermon which touched me deeply today. Reverend Foong encouraged us with verses from Mark 1:1-8 with the topic: Serving Purpose.

Reverend Foong used an interesting example of pre-flight checks performed for every flight flown by an experienced pilot to remind us that God have a set of standards for our lives to do daily self-checks in preparing to serve Him.
Thus, our Pastor continues to encourage us to do self checks when we are serving God in the following 3 areas:

We are God's children (our relationship w God)Purpose: When discouraged in our serving, we remind ourselves that we are children of God and we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God! So no one can determine our worth except God!

We must follow Jesus' way (Jesus' serving attitude and ways)Purpose: there are a lot of worldly ways of doing things and knowledge which can prove to be very effective. However, we have to take a step back to check whether these are in line to God's teaching to be used in our ministry for God. Jesus' serving attitude is the basis and foundation for serving in God's ministry. Pastor warns us that the lack of basic Jesus' serving attitude in our serving is not considered as serving in church.

We need to live out Jesus' life (we need to be a testimony for Christ) Purpose: People will know that We are Christ's disciples when we love one another. Pastor describe to us what Lukewarm Christians are like in the following countries:
United States: Frozen
Hong Kong: Liability
Singapore AMK church:???

Going back to the interesting example mentioned earlier, pre-flight checks are required even for the most experienced pilots who have flown thousand of hours with the same plane. I love to watch a programme by National Geographic named 'Air Crash Investigation'. In the programme I learn that when pre-flight checks are not performed, accidents more often than not happens which have heavy and irreversible consequences.

Thus, I would like to challenge all Glowers to perform all self-checks prescribed by God encouraged through our Pastor to prepare ourselves for our service to God. After all, is not our goal to be a pleasing sacrifice to our Father through the works of our hands?

Agape,
Glower, YY
