Hey people!
im sure ya all must have been exhausted but yet energized after last night's Edge, i mean, Emerge! right? Well truly it was a wondrous service, with our very own Maddy, Cass and Hector performing a dance item with the Emerge Dance Crew, EDC. Yesterday's sermon by Reverend Zhuang was short, yet simple, yet soul-searching. As he begun to talk about the questions that God asks, i couldn't help but think of the passion within us all.
I had guitar lessons this morning with Poh, and he shared something that perhaps i would like to share it here too.
How you think is your Attitude.
How you feel is your Passion.
While many of us here, have passion for different things, big talents, small talents, tiny winy little ones, God can still use them, but without passion, it's hard to keep the flame burning. How then do we stay in Passion?
We stick around people who have passion for the same thing.
You see friends, we are not only called to be light of the world, salt of the earth, but i believe, we are also called to be fire-starters. Now don't you go out there and start a fire literally, but think about what a fire-starter does. When we mix with people who are fire starters, they ignite us, they spark a flame in us, they help keep our passion going. Jesus spent time in the temple with His teacher, whilst asking questions, He was sticking around with people who had the same passion as Him.
So likewise, other than spending time with people who are fire-starters, we too should be fire-starters! That people would want to draw near to us, and then upwards.
Fire-starters! Ignite!
Be wary those, the "man" with the fire extinguisher will surely come to try to put out any fire, and that is why we need that energy, that oxygen from God to keep on burning strong.
Did i mention feelings too? Poh was saying that we are beings created with feelings. If we do things without feeling, then what good is it in our life? Sanctified feelings, that's what we need, when we serve God out there, in here, we need to have feelings for the things we do.
For example, when you are singing, or playing a song to the Lord, it becomes a religious act when WE do not go into it. Let us place our hearts, our lives, ourselves into what we do for God, and together we can be Fire-starters of lives, of passion and of love.
Yours,
Ethan
