♥ Blue Print

A voice says, "Cry out."
And I said, "What shall I cry?"
"All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.

The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.

The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever."

Isaiah 40:6-8


What is the blue print of building our lives? It's the word of God! We need to anchor ourselves upon the word of God and we shall not go on a drift! Amen!

Anyway, I'm going to update my blog with more articles! =)

♥ Dad's Story

Today, my parents and I attend a wedding dinner in a restaurant. Well, the youngest daughter of my neighbour is getting married. =)

The wedding dinner is carried out typically according to the Chinese custom and the restaurant is full with mostly the people from my kampung. My kampung is small and every person just knows each and another.

The dinner is started with dishes and a beautiful voice singing several Teresa Teng's songs. I'm simply captivated. Then it is followed by the open-singing section. Lots of aunty and some uncle get unto the stage. Gosh.. the singing... errrrr.. I assume you get what I mean.. LOL

Suddenly, a name Chen Xing 陈兴 is called to the stage for a song. Several old uncles are clapping their hands. I don't know the name but it's quite closed to my dad's, Chen Cheng Xing 陈成兴. I notice my dad somehow walking to the stage. I rush to him and say, "Papa, not calling you!" He says in return, "Someone has called me for a song." "Not you la, don't go." At the same time, I hear voices pursuing him.

Well, I has successfully stopped him and I see my mom rushing out from the toilet. Strange..

My parents =)

Fyi, my dad loves singing. Last time when I was small, I used to hear him singing a lot. Unfortunately, late of 2006, my dad had been verified to have cancer, 3rd stage, on his throat. Recalling my memory, I was really miserable that time and sometimes cry alone. Thank God, my dad is now fully recovered! He lost his voice, sadly. He still can speak of course and sometimes sing. However, he no longer has nice voice. Well, I sense that he has never noticed that, don't know why.... =.=

That's probably the main reason I stop him from performing a song. Too soon, the dinner has ended. We greet the bride and bridegroom before leaving.In the car, my mom tells me, "XXX's father is the one giving papa's name to the MC." Wow, I wonder how she discovers that. Anyway, Chen Xing is not my dad's name! Somehow, I feel that my dad is trying to express his unsatisfiable eagerness to perform singing in front of many. I'm kinda sorry. In fact, I don't have the heart to let him embarrassingly singing in the hall like what other aunty uncle does. Oppss...

My mon continues, "Chen Xing is your papa's "Artist name (艺名)" when he was young." Huh?! What's on earth is that?! Then I remember the story my dad used to tell me... "I was really great in singing last time and I was a part-time singer. I joined quite many performances also." In fact, I was never convinced with that statement.

After that, I ask why would he use the name Chen Xing 陈兴 instead of his real name Chen Cheng Xing 陈成兴? He says Chen Xing 陈兴 sounds nicer. Wow, I see... I feel that a piece of my dad's precious memories is triggered. He starts telling stories. Then, I'm very astonished to find out that he actually composed a few songs. He sings them out spontaneously in the car. The songs are really familiar as I'm really used to hear him singing when I was small. I never thought that the songs were made by himself! Guess what, one of the song that my dad composed was even used by a great famous singer at 70's, Lee Yi 李逸.

I google 李逸 and I'm surprised to find that he was one of the most famous singers among Chinese Asian at that time and was from Malaysia. Gosh..! I start to believe what my dad says.

My dad continues, "I used to go on stage and sing when I was young(around 20) and many people around the neighborhood knew me." Well, I think that is quite reasonable as his "Artist name" is still remembered by the elder people in my kampung. I personally ask my mom about Chen Xing. LOL. Surprisingly, my mom had even heard of him that time. My mom apparently not stayed in my kampung that time. o.O

"Gonggong(my grandpa) don't like me to sing. He said I might would turn bad." my dad adds on. Then my mom tells me personally, "Your gonggong kept your papa's motor key, stopped him from joining the final of a significant singing competition." Awww.. Quite sad isn't it..?

It was already 30++ years. My dad then went to work in KL for several years and then came back to my kampung, inherited the oil palm industry of my grandpa. He had always wanted to sing. Too bad, there were no Redbox that time to fulfill his singing desire and he can no longer sing nicely now due to the cancer he got few years ago.

Anyway, he would still sing in the house sometimes and when he asks me for feedback. I will say, "Not bad~" Otherwise, he would try again until he gets the reasonable compliment. ^^"

That's all! =D

(p/s: conversation between my family and I is in Chinese)

♥ While I'm Waiting

Life is all about rushing to the desired destinations, running with time and fighting with desperation but hoping with faith, loving with care and waiting... for an answer or miracle while you can't do anything. And we know, we shall wait...

♥ The Prophesy


Yesterday I went for the movie "2012" in Penang. It's so mind-boggling and real!
I can't help goosefleshing for many times, seem as I'm the one who witness the unprecedented terrifying disaster of the world

Please open the time line above in new tab for a clearer view.

I have been continuously astounded by numerous serious disasters that occur through out the 21st century. What's on EARTH are those killing disaster?! Since the catastrophe has come one by one, prophecy of end time no longer seems to be ridiculous to many people. Regrettably, people in the course of nature lives by sight but not by faith.

Thank God, Malaysia is still safe!
At the same time, several reports has come out, insisting that Malaysia would be struck by natural disaster as well soon. In fact, we are way too enjoying ourselves in the indeed comfort zone. After watching the movie "2012", I'm inspired, well, perhaps warned is the more suitable word to use. Friends, can you see anything going wrong on earth?

Let's see. At the time a one world government will be portrayed as a solution to all our problems, and the leaders will fool the world that it will bring peace. It will bring false peace for a short while, but it will be followed by tribulation. The most likely cause of a one world government would be a worldwide crisis to cause panic. This could be something like a natural disaster, war, terrorist attack, financial crises, or a supernatural event. One of these things could be deliberately engineered by people wanting to take over the world so they can gain power.

Nevertheless, the order and magnitude of events during the tribulation is foretold in the Bible. During the first half initially there will be the following sequence of events (Revelation 6, 8:1-5) :
  1. An agreement of false peace.
  2. War.
  3. Famine.
  4. Death to 1/4 of the earth's population due to famine, war and wild animals.
  5. Christians being martyred for their beliefs.
  6. A great earthquake where the moon turns red and sun goes black. The sky appears to roll up with falling stars. Every mountain and island moves from its place, with people so afraid that they hide themselves in caves and amongst rocks from God.
  7. Noises, thunderings, lightnings and an earthquake.

The book of Revelation is the last book in bible which was written by apostle John approximately 1914 years ago. How could a person of ancient know such thing if he was not being inspired by God? War and famine already happen nowadays. Add on, many earthquakes have shaken the earth from time to time. Anyway, I could never figure out the one earthquake mentioned in the book of Revelation.

The following happen towards the end of the tribulation (Revelation 16) :
  1. A severe sore comes upon people, with the mark of the Antichrist needed to buy or sell.
  2. The sea becomes as blood and every living creature in the sea dies.
  3. Rivers and springs become blood.
  4. The sun scorches people.
  5. There is darkness in the Antichrist's kingdom and people gnawed their tongues due to their pain. They blaspheme God and do not repent.
  6. The Euphrates River dries up and paves a way for the kings of the east, which gather, along with others from the whole world, for the battle of Armageddon.
  7. The greatest earthquake ever causes all the islands and mountains to disappear, and Jerusalem to be split into three parts.
Resources and reference: Bible, Richard Hole - End Time Bible Prophecy

Sigh... I'm somehow sad when come to know the prophesies about the destruction of the entire world. Most probably, I couldn't have the heart to see the earth that was originally made perfectly by God has to be gone. Everything would have come to a past. What else can I hold on to? Money? Properties? Glory? Career? Study?

No way... Even the impressive knowledge contributed by the ancient wise men, including Buddha, Confucius, Albert Einstein, etc can't help me escape from death. Samsara aka reincarnation which is preached by Buddhism will be gone as there will have no next generation if it ever existed. I can hold on to nothing but just the faith toward God as well as the Lord Jesus!

My friends, do you believe in Heaven and Hell? Let's me do a reasonable analysis.
John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 14:1-3 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me(Jesus). In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Act 4:11-12 He(Jesus) is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.' Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
As the bible says, as we believe in Jesus, we shall not perish but have eternal life in heaven. In short, the bible tells us that when we put out faith on God as well as Jesus, we can enter heaven. So, let me go ahead with the analysis.

AFTER DEATH
If heaven and hell exist,
Believe in God & Jesus ----> Go to heaven! =D
Not believe in God & Jesus ----> Not going to heaven = going to hell!
T____T
If heaven and hell do not exist,
Believe in God & Jesus ----> Not going anywhere, die means die la!
= . =lll
Not believie in God & Jesus ----> Not going anywhere also~ = \

Heheh! Believe in God & Jesus is always the smarter choice! In fact, smarter than using DiGi!

That's why I say, we should put our faith on God! By God's grace, we would discuss more about salvation next time. =)
Salvation means being saved from spending eternity in torment after death. It means our sins are forgiven by God and we have received His gift of eternal life in heaven.
Glory To God Forever, AMEN

♥ Leaving The Earth

Officially announce something that is extraordinary in some sense!

I'm no longer SO interested with lenglui(but still, sometime)! Well, appearance doesn't catch me all. I see how God changes me.

Since some many days ago, I fall in love with Jesus! I acknowledge truthfully He is the King of all kings, Lord of all lords and is in control of everything!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
When I start putting my faith on God. Many of the mindset has been changed. Mindset should mean a mind that is already set. However, God changes it without my notice. After entering UTM, I had a personal intentional experience regarding BGR(boy-girl relationship)! In many instances, I have probably listened to the prejudged viewpoints of others that were based on outward appearances. Thank God, I was then continuously being encouraged by leaders in church to let go of that not biblical involvement and I did it.
1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

As I am challenged by shepherd and caregroup leader to devote myself to live in obedience to the Holy Spirit, it becomes easier for me to see from God’s perspective. Seeing people as being made in the image and likeness of God should motivate us to love as God loves—unconditionally and unbiased. What an awesome privilege the Lord has lavished on us to see people as He does.

And that's why, I no longer be so attracted by physical appearance! Let's imaging that we are all blind, and living in total darkness. Which criteria would you put into consideration for your life-partner? In fact, we should not let just one of our senses - sight to influence us tremendously up to we are mentally blind.
2 Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight.
Well, undeniably, appearance is somehow important for first impression. Anyway, a girl can still shine with her inner beauty and that is remarkable. Besides, there is nothing better than to be with someone who always support and help, in the same time sharing the same faith and vision with you.

Mark 10:6-9 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female'. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work.
Being a Christian, I am convicted that I should follow bible(God's word). We can't hold on too much to the principles and philosophies as those are thought by human. When we believe that God created us, we should put our faith on His words instead! What do you think about the reason that man and woman are to be united into one?

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Absolutely, the reason should be all about love. God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. This is indeed different with the love among humans which is truly conditional. In fact, parents' love to us is closed to unconditional love. By the way, God created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship. In short, man and woman are united should be for God as God is love. =)

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 Corinthians 4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Let's replace the "love" in 1 Corinthian 4-7 with your name. Do you think it's acceptable? I tried it. Yea, replace the word "love" with JERRY and the statement became so flawed! Quite certainly, none of the names can be replaced into the verses. Well, if you read through the bible, it's reasonable to replace the word "love" with Jesus. Jesus is as well the son of God. As the bible says, God is love. =D

Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven
Ecclesiastes 3:11-14 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.

Wow! I'm indeed convinced by the verses above. There is also a time for love. We do not know when we would love(boy-girl relationship). Somehow, God will show His will when the time has come. I thank God for my previous shepherd, Chee Lim and his wife, Jessie in sharing about how God made them together through miraculous event! They are both serving in Hope Ipoh, holding the vision given by God!

Deuteronomy 5:29 Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
Hebrew 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

After joining Hope JB, I can see more how the brothers and sisters there being obedient to God as well as the leaders in church by not committing themselves into any not-God's will-relationship. Actually, as we have good relationship with God, we will acknowledge his greater purpose on us.

Matthew 28:19-20 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Well, this is what my church holding on! The vision of Hope churches is to fulfill the Great Commission by raising Christ-centred disciples to plant vibrant, biblical churches in our cities and countries all over the world.
Mark 12:28-31 One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
Apparently, Jesus asks us to love the lord our God and our neighbor(human). In fact, love the Lord comes first. =)

SIGH! Despite facing challenging study, indeed I have a great vision to fulfill and the vision is from God! And so and so I'm not going to fall for any girl right now! Perhaps unless the girl loves Jesus too and loves Him more than loving me, should have also loved God more than I do! Haha! Preferably, serving in the same church with me la! Timing is also an important issue. ^^


Fuyoh! I thank God and bro, sis in Hope churches including Hope Penang, Hope Ipoh and especially Hope JB! Hope churches really make lots of difference in many lost souls and in the lives of many Christians. In fact, everything starts from the Heart, this is what being preached in my church always.

All Glory to God!
