Mercy and I went over to take care of Apostle yesterday after church and had a good time chatting with Apostle. Apostle still has his unique sense of humour and of course, the usual chatty person before his present predicament. We enjoyed his jokes totally and for the first time, I realised how much this family has to go through especially Pastor Sally, the living examples of how much they’ve given for the body of Christ without expecting anything in return except continuing to serve the Lord faithfully. In contrast, i am like the worst sinner compared to them, the saints. Yet, they are completely transparent even with their flaws, but it makes them all the more, real and human.
With my decision to quit the cell group, i had a chat with Pastor Sally and of course Mercy was there to join in the conversation why i shouldn’t quit cell group. And of my decision to go to Singapore Bible College next year. Well the responses were simply hillarious – Apostle came out and said, “Go there sure die.” I could understand how the puffing of knowledge without the actual application of it in one’s life makes a conceited person and knowledge won’t translate to living one right before God. Like Pastor Douglas once said, the longest journey is 1 feet down from the head (knowledge) to the heart (application and living it out). Am i going to stop pursuing knowledge and start giving? I’ve asked myself the question that what’s stopping me from investing into someone’s life, probably that it is hard work and a hell lot of sacrifice. It is time to give, perhaps with the view that am i ready to do that? For a start, i am going to help Pastor Sally looking through the materials for the Basic Christian Class which is the fundamentals of Christianity that a young Christian in the church has to go through. I will be taking small baby steps in investing what i’ve learnt and prayerfully, the passion and the love of God’s Words will be passed on to the younger generation to carry it on to influence their generation for God. Isn’t that all about discipleship? I guess it is.
