The game we lost

I was really pumped up and focused for this game. I prepared myself for this. Right after tip off everything not only went really well, every shot was going in. Woah! Everyone was red hot. Jumped to a big early lead. Was thinking in my mind , we are going to take this game. But the second half was a whole different story. Everything just went cold. We had some plays, the execution was good, problem was it just won't go in. Whatever lead we had got erased. Not only that tambak pa. I just couldn't believe it. When the final whistle blew, I just sat there thinking What just happend? Bad trip talaga! Blaming and pointing fingers at each other, even God was blamed too. All my hopes got dashed. I got really depressed and couldn't sleep for days. Felt like a big loser with the consecutive losses. Couldn't stop comparing to the other teams.
When we started to refocus and analyze our game plan we realized that we rushed it. Too many fast breaks. The shots were pilit pa. We were lucky the 1st half but the 2nd half wla na. I recalled the movie Facing the Giants the coach "... we praise God when we win, we prais God when we lose" Got to move on and focus on the next game

-Living a Godly Testimony is going to be hard.

Singspiration 12/7/08

Ok I have to prepare my singspiration in advance cuz going to Azcop next week

Text: 2 Tim 4:1-5

1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

Preacher: Rev. Lim

Main Point: Preaching the Gospel

Background: Christians during this time were being persecuted. Paul is in jail and knows that his time will be up. Timothy is scared. Not only that false teachers are on the lose saying all kinds of hypocrisy. 3:10 Paul reminds Timothy, cuz he knows 1st hand what Paul suffered. V3:12 tells us that Christians will be persecuted. v. 3:13 tells us that people will become worse. v.3:15-17 points us to the Bible as our guide and standard.

v.4:1 knowing that we will all face Judgment? Knowing that we will face God at the end of our life. Knowing that He will come back again. With this in mind. How should our attitude be? We should be prepared to tell others about Christ. Its one thing to have the tools but its another thing if you know how to use it. v4:3 tells us that there will be a time when people will not listen to God's Word anymore. Just what they want to hear. How true? If you don't get convicted then there's something wrong. God's word is a sword and it cuts deep.

Well its the first week of December, Christmas is near and not only that this is going to be a special day cuz its joint service baptismal day. Meaning service starts at 9am ( yes don't need to wake up early :) ) but there is no take 2 just 1 round. Well a lot of people will be baptized that day, so definitely no overtime. I remember my Baptismal testimony, had to do it in Chinese pa.

1.) Shout to the Lord

Opening Song. I choose this song cuz i had wanted to start slow and build up. Start with a familiar song. Maybe start with chorus 1st. I wonder if there is Chinese version of this.

2.) Joy to the World

Christmas is near so I'm goign to sing a Christmas song. Actaully our topic today is about preaching the Gospel and this song just says just that. English and min nan hua

3.) He is Lord

Then I'm going to jump into he is Lord. I want to make it lively. I was reminded of this verse 2 tim 2:8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel... Yes Jesus i raised from the dead. Wow what a gospel! English and Min na hua. Sorry no guo yu this round.

4.) The offering

by Paul Baloche. A "new" song, cuz never been sung at church before. I choose this song cuz I was thinking about the people going to be Baptised. Its a big step. Their going to declare their love for God and they want to follow him. Plus may Christmas version pa to.

Things on my mind Part 2

I wanted to continue writing last night but my mind just shut down. Zzzz...

/*****/

Had this goal of reading the OT prophet books that I avoid. Finished reading Jeremiah and Daniel. I have lots of questions about Daniel. There's a big difference in just reading and studying it. Hmmm I wonder if the things Daniel mentioned have already passed or are things still to come? Anyways impt thing is God is still in control.


/*****/

Started reading Ezra today. Lesson learned: God still moves people. 1:1 & 1:5. He is working in people lives. He is in control He can make things happen to glorify His name.

Application: We can't make people believe in God. God does it. All we can do is let God use us.


/******/

Hey watch out for our Christmas Play this Dec. FYI, put your Chinese hat on cuz its there are no subtitles.

/*****/

When I think of the Azcop theme, the Michael Jackson song "...its black, its white, yeah yeah yeah" keeps popping in my head.

till next time...

Things on my mind

I don't like writing bad about someone or something. But I just got to tell you about Epson Printers. I think its just a rip off. Internally they made a program in the printer that locks your computer I think every 1000 or so pages. You have to go to an authorize Epson service center to have it "unlocked". Actually they just stick a cable to your printer and press a button. In less than 5 mins its done. Guess how much they charge?
P600. thats right. a new low end inkjet printer cost 2,000+ its like 25% of the price already. Not sure if other brands do the same thing. Sulit talaga yung Laser jet. Yun lang nga black and white only.

/******/

Don't tank up or store on gas, LPG. Prices are dropping. Metals and scrap are going down too. There will be winners and losers. Too bad didn't sell some when the prices were high.

/*****/

Law of Supply and Demand. I can now see it at work. The more are produced, the cheaper it gets. Hey i use to spend around 20K for a good CPU, right now mga 10K+ ok na.

/*****/

Hey read my friend and groupmate's blog. See how God saved his life. I asked him to share what happened to him at CF, so touching . Makes you want to treasure the important things in life. hehehe

/*****/

jammed 2 fingers again playing bball. Hey i think we might end up 3rd place (ok fine 3rd from the last) not bad for a rookie team. Next year have plans to start a league.

/****/
Hey was talking to a friend and they shared this to me.

Dead Air

geography: an area where the air covered by the mountains. so the strong winds will have a hard time reaching it. Ex CAMANAVA area cuz sabi yung may mountians covering the area.

electronics: Area where no broadcast signal can reach it.

slang: walang papagusapan. aka boring

/******/

AZCOP camp 16 days to go. ok time to work na. hehehe


/*****/

Hey i met 5 new people this Sunday at church. 2 of them I already forgot the name. 2 of them I still remember. the other one kilala ko na pala dati. hehehe. I was surprised to see her. Haven't seen her for a long time. I knew she looked familiar. anyways good thing she started joining again. Hope that God will lead these people more closer to Him.

I don't get it why people (taling about the Christians) don't like to welcome the new comers. They came to church already.Ito na nga yung great opportunity for friendship evangelism. But everyone is in their own little comfort zone.
