:: Touch, Impacted ::

Had a good time of QT just now, and I feel much more better now. God spoke to me about a verse, and I was very impacted by it. "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever." - Is. 40:8

As I was reading Tong's blog, I was quite shock because her entry is also related to what God spoke to me about too. God is hinting me to read His word again, because His words will bring peace and comfort to our soul. His word will renew our mind, to give us strength to move on in life, to have a breakthrough in our lives.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I will accept people quoting bible verses to me or start ranting away in their mouth preaching this and that. You have to see the situation before accessing your actions. If a member have done something wrong or unrighteous, don't start to open your mouth like a machine gun and tell the member that you should not sin against God, you should not grieve the Holy Spirit, the bible say that you must not have other Gods above Him, so on and so for. You should be concern of why he/she is sinning first, putting yourself in the person's shoes, and slowing, you move on and begin to explain. People share things with you is to get comfort, not for you to be mock at.

During Service and Cell Group, as we begin to hear Pastor or a CGL sharing the Word, it would be perfectly fine to listen to the preaching. The word is for everyone, and that is where you get the revelation from God, a touch from heaven. It's also the point where you think and how it can be applied in your life differently, in the various areas that you are struggling or having problems with. Get the point over here?

We may see the same problem over here, but however, the methods CANNOT be used by what the preacher did. When a person share with you, he/she expect that you understand, not for you to condemn with. You may not have that intention, but sadly to say, it will be hard for the person to share with you next time instead. Worst still, if every members start to condemn, one fine day that member will begin to wake up, and realise that maybe this is not the CG or the church that he/she belong to, and they will decide to leave for good.
