I'm BACK!!

Ok! It's been a while since I have the time to blog. Took leave for today and tomorrow, really need a good time to rest. Haven't been sleeping much the past 2 days, cos I can't miss out my champions league actions. Happy for my Liverpool and Arsenal to go through the 1st qualifying stage. But poor Man U, kick of out Champions League and also no chance for Uefa Cup. What a sad story, first time in 10 yrs they are not in the last 16. A way to console themselves, ppl are saying now they can concentrate better on the league and domestically.

Finally! Many things to look forward to. 2006 is getting nearer. Christmas is getting nearer. Youth evangelistic chalet and prison carolling is also getting nearer. Spent quite alot of shopping recently, shopped for clothes and stuffs. Thought of getting a notebook also. haha $$$$$$

Well, I'm not a guy who enjoying reading. But surprisingly I have just finished read a book given to me for bdae. The title of the book is "A Fresh Start", by John Chapman, a Australian pastor. Find this part of the book pretty interesting and would like to share it with all. In this part of the book, the writer talks about "Will God have us back?" It begins with this story:

2 boys ran away from home. One was 10 years old and the other only 7. They had had a disagreement with their father and they decided to run away. They hid in a cave near a river at the back of their hoome and stayed there until it grew dark. They then decided to go back home, having taught their father a big enough lesson. When he saw them coming around the corner of the house, the father swept them in his arms and said, "Hello, you 2. Great to have you back home again. I thought you'd left, but I'm so glad you haven't. Come and have some tea."

The question is: suppose we do come back to God and truly repent. We confess that we have rebelled against him and we declare our intention to try to live under Jesus' Lordship. Will God forgive us? Will He have us back? God answer is: "Because my Son, Jesus Christ, has died for you, I wil forgive you and take you back as a true friend. (John 1: 7,9, Romans 5: 1,2) Both repentance and faith are gifts which come from God. The life and work of Jesus is so completely acceptable to God, you and I can be completely acceptable also. It is as if when we turned to the Lord Jesus in repentance and faith, we were given 2 certificates. On the first one it reads: "This is to certify that the bearer has lived a perfect life". On the other it says: " This is to certify that the bearer has paid the full penalty of all sins". Isn't it such a good news that through Jesus' work on earth, all of us can be sinless and holy before God, to be reconciled with God. So in response, I urge all believers to obey God and live a life of obedience and faith. Stop sinning and repent. Amen.
