Commandment #9

Pastor Dr. Daniel Ho, 11/07/2010
A quote by Andrew Murray is shared. “"Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God's messengers be intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with us."
Exo 20:16  "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
The 3D Visual Effect Editor of Avatar, Craig Tanner and his wife, Gina are with us today.

Why do people lie or bear false testimony?

1. Because truth hurts.
Nixon won the re-election by a landslide. But he was discovered to have broken into the Democratic parties’ place in the Watergate Hotel to get their secrets. He was facing impeachment. He wanted to exercise his executive power and he was challenged in the supreme court. He stepped down. When he passed away in April 1994, he was known as a president whole lied to the whole nation.

The Challenge of World Missions II – A Holistic Approach

Dale Rhoton,  04/07/2010
Dale Rhoton is the co-founder of Operation Mobilization together with George Verver.
The text is Matthew 10:7-8
Mat 10:7-8  And proclaim as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'  (8)  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.

(I caught up with Pastor Matthew Foo after the service and got what he shared about F.A.I.T.H.F.U.L.)
As shared by Pastor Matthew, faithful = faithfulness always increases the heart for undying (or was it unending) loyalty.

Father’s Day Special

Pastor Chris Kam, 20/06/2010
Ian Kam (Pastor Chris’ eldest son) is on stage. He is 20. Teens today have mobile phones, and not ordinary phones. Pastor Chris did not give him (Ian) a phone. He got a walkie talkie for communicating with his dad after tuition.
Pastor Chris is a hero to Ian. When Ian was 5 he had a list of heroes. Pastor Chris was no. 2. The Father in heaven was no. 1. Even since he was 3, Pastor Chris would bring him to a restaurant on every Monday. Ian got to know his dad better and wanted to grow up to be like him.
His dad was also his friend. They were really close. They talk about anything. He enjoys being with his dad. He has an accident a few months after he got his license. A week prior to the accident, his dad warned him about the perils on the road. When he reached home, his dad told him he told him so and laughed. He told Ian to move on. That gave Ian peace.

Challenges Facing the Church in Malaysia

Pastor Dr. Daniel Ho, 13/06/2010
Pastor Daniel has many challenges. One of them is acrophobia (fear of heights.) This is the same with Matthew,  his son. When they were in a theme park, they challenged this fear by taking different rides. Now, he is ready to face his fear of height.
We must overcome challenges we face in life. There is no better time to live in Malaysian than right now. Challenging times are the most exciting times. We see the obstacles and overcome them.
There are five challenges we face as a church in Malaysia.
