What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find?

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold?

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long
But what if you're wrong?

Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I just,
just want to be with you.

Looking down from above as you watch TV
Wondering why, oh you're ignoring me
Do you remember, remember when I came to you
And you loved me
And I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you

Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I just,
just want to be with you, to be with you
Hey, why do you run why do you hide oh do't you know I just,
just want to be with you, to be with you...

Whatever happened to the love, the love you had for me
When you first came to me
Don't you know that I died, died so I could be with you forever.
And I'm waiting for you
And I'm waiting for you

Why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I just,
just want to be with you, to be with you
Hey, why do you run why do you hid oh don't you know I just,
just want to be with you, to be with you...

Find a place of solitude, and I'll speak to you
As you pray to me
Don't you know I'm waiting here,
waiting for you to read and hear my words
I'm waiting here missing the time the times we shared oh,
please come to me

So, why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I just,
just want to be with you, to be with you
Hey, why do you run why do you hide oh don't you know I just,
just want to be with you, to be with you...

A poem to God

You're holy, powerful, ever right,
In brightest day, in darkest night,
I'll live by faith and not by sight,
Your love for me still shines, a light.

Your love for me will never end,
You are faithful, Your promise true,
With Your Word we will defend,
I will stay rooted in You.

You will never leave nor forsake me,
And no matter where, its with You I'd rather be.
What can separate me from You, Oh Lord?
Be it trials, hardships, danger, sword?

You are almighty, you are all-powerful.
The demons tremble when they see You.
Yet, when I fail, when I fall from grace,
Its You who runs first to me, and hold me in Your embrace.

Even if I can't see you, I know You’re there.
Because You have made the first move,
(With Your death You broke my chains, You took away my sin and shame!)
Now I will live for You.

Today i have exp God in a super pratical way.okay you guys know right that in schs we can rent lockers.yupp, i rented it and the lockers are all together, alot of colums and in 6rows.The school would assign u the locker randomly.As u guys noe, yijun nt so tall right so i was praying to God telling God that it would be good to have a convenient locker becuz the top row would be too high and the bottom row will be too low.so i told God that let His will be done. And today i went to my new locker and guess wad! God had been so so pratical that he gave me a locker that was perfect!! it was the 2nd row frm the bottom. so i could simply sit down, sit up straight and there it is! infront of me! my very own God-selected-locker!!! the row was the perfect row for me and God surely knew it. Some lockers are so tall that only yao ming could have reach it some are so low that i would have to lie on the floor to get it as it is on juz abve the dirty concret floor.other locker would need u to have a akward position while attending to it. like half stand half squad half stand+squad+bend kind of position. I exp God thru this locker thing! Now i noe that he cares about my little details he is such a loving Father that wans the best for you. Although He is the king of King, having the highest position thruout eternity he cares about ur little minute affairs. How great can God be! WORSHIP HIM TILL ThE VERY END!!

Quiet Time entry 3

This is about yesterday one. The past few days I keep on having pains in my stomach region and CONSTIPATION! And let me tell you, constipation is NOT PLEASANT! Summore my stomach there keep on pain and feel like everything jumbled up! It was HORRIBLE! TERRIBLE! VEGETABLE! Ok let move on...

Den I keep on having thoughts and worrying about this and that, cause I y my kidney and sigmoid colon keep on feeling very painful and weird. Den at tat time I kept on thinking what might happen, why so pain, later tio dunno wad den how. Den I feel very depressed and sad...

But den, I did my quiet time, and I read Matthew 18:20

"You dont have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible."

Den I read the Study Bible notes at the bottom of the page. It said "If you are facing a problem that seems as big and immovable as a mountain, turn your eyes from the mountain and look to Christ for more faith. Only then will you be able to overcome the obstacles that my stand in your way."

Wah, den at that moment, I felt the Holy Spirit convict me. God was like saying to me "Why are you looking at your pains and worries, when instead you should have faith and look to Me?"

Yup! We should have faith and look to God. And I will trust in Him and have faith in Him, no matter how this will turn out.

And also, during my quiet time, I also felt God telling me, "Isaac, your mother is interested in knowing Me. Go share to her."

Den after my QT, my mother walk into the room. She told me about Terence, my bro, and said he change a lot. I said this must be God's work in his life. Den I told her a bit more about God, and ask her if she wanted to invite God into her life.

Den she told me, "For long time I alrdy wanted to know God, but I didnt know how." Wah, wad God said really came true lor! Den I lead her through New Life lesson 1 and through a sinners prayer! WOOO HOOO! Praise the LORD! On Feb 4 2007, 11pm, my mum was saved! God said in the Bible that if one is saved, so shall the whole household. So dont give up on ur parents and family members!!

P.S PLZ POST!

Quiet Time entry 2

Sunday, Jan 21, 2007

Woh! This quiet time was not like normal quiet times, it was special, so I wanted to share it! At first I started with the Experiencing God book, den after that I had INTENDED to proceed to my Bible. But then I remember something! Eureka! lol... anyways, I dunno why, but during before the PnW or some time dunno when, i suddenly had a thought! How did the Israelites cross the Red Sea?? The Red Sea has a maximum depth of 2500 m, and an average depth of 500m. It was, even at the narrowest point, roughly 25km. Imagine! 10 times your NAPFA 2.4km run!! And they were people of ALL ages and sizes! Oh nos!! They must be going like 'ARGH MY LEGS!!!!'

By then I was feeling very down, so I thought of asking Sylvester. Den I saw on Wikipedia or on some News website or smthing, saying that the translation for the Red Sea is yam suph. And since there were no vowels in Hebrew text, yam suph, which means literally "Sea Reed", could actually be yam soph, which means the Sea at the end of the world. Now, the Egyptians had called places like the Indian Ocean and Red Sea the sea at the end of the world. And now, even theologians argue about the Crossing of the Red Sea, which is still inconclusive, cause there is no proven evidence of the Red Sea being the sea which the Israelites crossed. (incidently, there was a hub in the past about chariot wheels being found on the bottom of the Red Sea, but that is inconclusive, and if I am right, the wheel could not be found again after it was first discovered and taken, so no scientific experiments could be conducted. After hearing of this incident, the Egpytian government imposed a ban on the taking anything from protected areas, and the Red Sea was one, so divers and scientists cannot find a wheel and bring it to a lab for close examining)

However, bottom line that God told me was that "No matter what happened, trust in me". I really thank God for holding onto me, even though I had doubted Him so much. And so I went on with my quiet time, and then later when I read the Bible, I saw the verses Matthew 9:20-22. In it the woman had suffered for so long, but yet she cried out to God IN FAITH. I really felt God talking to me through that verse, saying that like "Does it really matter what people say? Does it really matter if you cannot find any evidence for this or that? Does it really matter if you wont be able to explain everything? As long as you have FAITH, that is the most important." I was like whoa............. I dunno how to explain that moment in words lor!

So, after my QT I came here to post this lor. So in conclusion, what I wanted to say is that there will be times when what you believed to be true, when your paradigm will be challenged, and everything will seem to be falling apart. But this is the time that you must trust in God the most! Yea yea! :) Wooooooooooooooo, siao! I still energetic from jus now, and its already 2am! WAHAHA! Ah well, I think i better go to sleep. But before that, I have to add something.

PASS THE CHILL-LEEE!!!

Okay Guys! YIJUN HERE!! this post is about a song that God inspired me to pen it down one sunday morning.

A song for my children
One day they laugh at Me below the cross
One day they scorn at me as I walk
One day they mok at Me though Im God

One day the angels were clentching their fist
One day they wanted to fight for Me
One day I laid on the cross with a hymn

It was for you my children
It was for you that I laid aside my holiness, perfection
For you

A song for you my children
A song for you my precious
Asong for you

This song is written in Jesus's perspective."i laid on the cross with a hymn" shows that God laid on the cross praising God the father without any complains. He could have leave us alone let us dwell in our sin and evil doings but Jesus chose to die for us.Jesus being God have to cum down to earth get into a earthly body that is maid up of dust.A body that have problems here and there..Jesus somehow laid aside His perfection.At the point where he was about to rise up to heaven the WHOLE WORLD'S weight was on Him.Thw WHOLE WORLD's sin was upon Him.He laid aside HIs holiness for us! Its us that brought Jesus up to the cross! Jesus had done so so much for you what would you do in return?one of the thing you can do for Him now is to start treating experiencing God seriously! start doin it daily and faithfully!

more than conquerors!

2007-01-20T07:14:00.000-08:00

hey hey! guess who i am.
hehheh

i am SYLVESTER! HAHA!

hey cherie cell group, i got a suggestion for your cell group name!

CONQUERORS! i was on the way to church and i suddenly thought of this name, based on ROMANS8:37 which says,

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

our members like JinQuan conquered persecution!
Eunice conquered bad habits!
Lester conquered the problem of commitment to church and God!
Cherie conquered her doubts about leading!
and alot more of you all conquered problems,obstacles through Christ who loved us and gave His life for us to set us free!.

and we are not just CONQUERORS!

CHERIE'S GROUP MEMBERS ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Jesus who loves us!

we love Jesus too! amen. haha.

and God has prepared us TO CONQUER more things. our schools, our friends, our problems, our families!

we conquered, and we will continue to conquer!

I Traded My Everything for JESUS.........

2007-01-20T06:19:00.000-08:00

One week back I did something that I never do before in my whole entire life, I told my parents that I am goin to church. I am just sick and tired of sneaking to church and hiding from my parents. My dad told me that once I leave this house and go to church, my school, my laptop, allowance, my handphone will all be stopped and confiscated. At that moment, I got to choose between my future or God. It is a very hard decision, if i choose God, all my plans and my future will be gone. If i choose my future, I will never be able to worship God and honor God. At last I chose God, i ran out of my house and that brought great misery to my mum but great anger to my dad. It hurts me alot to see my mum cry, as if she has just lost a son and the havoc I had brought to my family. But I wish to tell them, Jesus is so real and true in my life that I cant forsake Him, He is my all in all, my life. I love my family but I love Jesus too, and if there is another chance I wish I could contribute alot more to my family.

I traded my everything for Jesus, who love me and came and die for me. Is HE who taught me how to be strong, is HE who is with me in my darkest days, is He who protected and built me up this few years. Thats why i am willing to give up my everything for HIM.

That day was the day where for the first time I tasted freedom like never before, and joy beyond any description. For the first time I went to church and not to be burdened by anything. And yes, without fail I will go and worship God on sat.

That sat after church activities I was allowed to go home, and ya MY THINGS ARE STILL IN ONE PIECE. My parents allowed me to use laptop and gave me alloance for another two weeks. It is really a miracle that they gave me two more weeks, given my parent's character, they will just destroy my everything. But I believe in God, though emtpy handed but alive in His hands. God will surely make a way, I trust Him from the day I said the sinner's prayer till now.
[Phillipians3:7-8] - However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

Now I can freely and truly say " God I am wiling to surrender all to you". If God brings you to it, HE will bring you through it. More amazingly, my parents din't say a thing about i goin to church, and my dad even talked to me!!!
Thinking about the journey i embark with Christ five yrs back, it is already a miracle that i made it through. It is not easy, but can be done together with the all mighty God.

Salt and Light

2007-01-13T07:45:00.000-08:00

Hey, guess wad? i found my old entry! This iwas the first entry i posted which disappeared! So ill be reposting it! :)

Salt

Matthew 5:13

"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless."

Light

Matthew 5:14-16

"You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts in under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."

Salt, as a seasoning, affects others around it. When it is put on food, it gives the food flavour. If we are so blended with the world around us, then we will have little use, just like the salt that has lost its flavour.

Light gives sight to those who walk in the dark. As disciples of Christ, we are reflectors of his glory, and we shine his light to the lost. Those who are lost, who stumble in the darkness, often look to Christians, whether consciously or not. And sometimes, we, consciously or not, are the ones who deprive them of the light, when we:

1. Keeping quiet when we should speak
If you see someone who is being bullied, or verbally abused, would you be someone who stands up for him?
If you hear people slandering God's name, would you be someone who stops them?
If you see someone who is depressed, would you go and comfort them?

2. Going along with the crowd
Even when you know that what the clique is doing, or will be doing is wrong, would you still follow them?

3. Denying the light
If people are making fun of Christians, would you be proud to still admit in front of them that you are a Christian?

4. Letting sin dim our light
If you know the school doesn't approve inappropriate hairstyles, would you still keep one?

5. Not explaining our light to others
If someone asks about your faith, would share to him or her, or evade the subject?

6. Ignoring the needs of others
If you see someone who did not bring enough money for a meal, would you go and lend him or her your money?

Even as Christians, it is sometimes easy to fall into this without realizing it. We should place our light on a stand, where it will give light to everyone, instead of hiding it under a basket where no one can see.

God has called us to be insulators, not isolated. Let us change our surrounding, and continue being a reflector of His light.

Thank you for taking the time to read this extremely wordy post. I hope you will be able to apply it into your lives. God bless you, enjoy the rest of the day with Him :D

Cheers,
Isaac
