His Grace is Beautiful (Cantonese Worship)



I love this beautiful cantonese worship song, which speaks of God's love and His commission for us to respond to Him.

Manga Bible - a great evangelistic tool for the youth

Not many pre-believers, especially the youth, would sit through bible study classes or read through the New Testament with vigor and zest.

NEXT, Inc. has published a series of manga biblical books to target today's youth, who are greatly influenced by worldly views and cultures. Introduced by a church friend, we bought a copy of "Manga Messiah" out of curiosity. I compared it with my comics bible which I bought many years ago and found the manga version much more interesting and compelling to read.

Indeed, the Lord has begun to work among the youth to redeem our younger generations from the works of the devil within the media and entertainment industry. My prayer goes to the youth, that God's wisdom and discernment be planted in their hearts, so that any ungodly strongholds and bondages be broken in their lives. Lord, fill my children's hearts with Your love, peace and joy. I pray that they will proclaim their desire to be pure and holy before You, so that they will not be clouded by the desires of this world. In Jesus' most precious name I commit this prayer, amen.

What is FAITH?


Faith is "Full Assurance In The High", according to Nick Vujicic. In close to an hour's special message for FCBC and pre-believers last Sunday, Nick underscored the importance of putting our faith and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ despite all the circumstances around us.

The opposite of faith is fear, where the latter is "false evidence appearing real" and for us not knowing the future (uncertainty). Satan has put fear in us but we need to defeat the devil by arming ourselves with the sword of truth by hearing the Word of God on a daily basis. No matter how many times the devil tries to belittle us in things that we have done sinfully or not up to others' expectations, Nick advised us to get a second opinion (from God). "When we go disable, God is able!". Well said.

And Nick is right, nothing beats knowing our Lord and Saviour when we are still breathing on earth. We are thankful for the miracle of knowing Him!

Amen to that!
