people have come..
both the imperfect and the strong..
but we proved one thing..
the world is totally wrong..
who said we cannot be OUTSTANDING..
for our God made us, PROCLAIMING..
"we are the HEAD and not the tail..
ABOVE and not beneath..."
who can be against us..
when He is for us?
ha!we can indeed be the BEST that we can be!
YES and AMEN!
we bring hope to the hopeless, light to the darkness, peace to the restless, love to the neglected; God to the world...
we are STRONG..we SURRENDER..we SHINE!

about:
the Greatest Revelation
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
The above is the most famous and easily recognized verse from the Word of God.
Simple in it's form
Direct in it's purpose
that God loved not only us, Christians, but Everyone regardless of their differences & despite ALL our shortcomings, defeats, past sins, etc
That of course; includes YOU!
I believe that truly the Greatest Revelation from God, even as a Christian; is for Him to tell you
"Te amo"
"Je t'aime"
"Σ'αγαπώ"
"私は愛する"
"사랑해요"
"我爱你"
"I love You"
despite of EVERYTHING that we are NOT
and John 3:16 speaks of just that! (He doesn't makes this the most famous verse for no reason whatsoever! He really wants the WHOLE WORLD to KNOW)
thus our offerings to God is to be seen as
giving tokens of Love to Him
Love Bank As we always give our offerings, we are too, adding to the Love Bank between yourself & God! & because simply our offerings are not refundable, the value in that bank account would never Drop!
Thus
God will always remember the offerings that You have chosen (out of your own free will) to give to Him in honor of his Love!
man~ I didn't think that Ariel would come for jogging in the morning! Those who didn't come should be just a *tad* shameful just because of that fact :)
It was a bright and windy day for a jog. Conditions were almost perfect :)
The running *track* of about 1.3km long... or short... pending on how you usually run features of
300m+ long straight path
100m+ path along the KTM station and tracks
slight up & down slopes
A short path pass the back alley houses..one of which has a nice looking Husky :)
Yeps. Not very bad right? Got nice scenery + stuff to look at while running :D
which brings me to my first point. Really jogging can help and befits us in many ways not just to prepare for a marathon
but it helps your physical + mental + spiritual Health!
First Up
Physical:
To win the battle of the bulge
Help fight the aging process, it prevents muscle and bone loss that often occur with age
Helps to fight disease
helps maintain and improve general health. It raises HDL (or "good") cholesterol, reduces the risk of blood clots, and encourages use of the 50% of your lungs that usually go unused. Running also boost the immune system by creating a higher concentration of lymphocytes
Ok. I know that no ones belongs to points 2 & 3, and some of us are in point 1 *coughs*... But I do believe ALL of us belong to Point number 4.
Like Sarah said before, alot of Us in the Cell do not have good health in General and falls sick quite often,i believe you know who you are :)
So yar! This along should be a big incentive for you to go Jogging regularly!
Imagine, How can anyone do God's Work if He/She is sickly all the time? When you preach about God is our Healer, and yet You Yourself is coughing all the way.
Mental:
After that morning's jog (which all of us ran at least 4km btw), one thing that we agreed in common was that, jogging trains our mind to push ourselves better.
By consistently pushing ourselves to reach for the 'finishing line', we can train our mental stamina to allow ourselves to sustain through the valleys and trials of our life. We can be more attentive in our morning lessons rather than yawning throughout. We can focus in whatever we are doing, better and longer as well. We can even believe in taking one more step towards more destiny better.
*and if your already thinking of excuse like 'its too early to come, too far to go, too LAZY to jog"*
well.....
*you should have realized your thinking is wrong by now*
moving on.
Lastly Spiritual: How on can jogging benefits you Spiritual?
From what I learned/experienced , it really evolves round from benefiting from both Physically and Mentally
By gaining a Better Physical & Mental Conditions. We can afford to stay awake more..... not to chiong our assignments or play left4dead >.<"
but really, it means we can have more Quality time to spend worshiping and praying to God in our quiet time.
We can be more alert in our morning lectures/lessons because we are mentally fit! And surly that we translate into have better results in our studies! Being a Salt & Light in the School~
In Morning prayer meetings and services, there wouldn't be such a problem like cannot wake up or overslept! Of course, during the meetings itself, we can focus more on praying rather than fighting to stay awake.
Thus I also conclude that Koreans are very Healthy people to be able to attend 4am Prayer Services~
a Jo street, Annabell Street! Our own Chinatown >.< . . . . You see w380 We can be A Bigger. Better. Stronger Cell Grp
Rev John shared of how One person's simplest of Action.. .. can be of accord for millions of potential salvations
Even though how small and seemly useless that action is AT THAT PRESENT MOMENT
I Assure. After a period of time.. you probably be wondering how on EARTH did you accomplish that feat?
Is all about the perspective we view our problems from. Picture this.
A grain of Rice on the table
And Ur handled the task of picking it up?
Being Human you would be like "Aiyah! No Problem!"
But What if We are sized like a Ant. A tiny little Ant smaller than the size of this . <--- yes the fullstop
Than How?
Being God's People We have to be Bigger and Better than our Problems! (Remember God Design US to DO so?) If not how would we be able to even Speak to our Giants.
. . . . . ops. just lost my string of thoughts o.0
Anyway with regards to W380 avenue
it's what I believe we can achieve.
Again like what Rev John said God looks & would Judge @ the Amount of Things that He has called US to DO. And have 'Done the Work'
not at our Past S!ns. That has already been settled by Jesus!
. . .
anyways. [again] if you been wondering what on Earth is W380 Avenue
W380 avenue
is a place I would like to see in heaven (when we finally reached in AFTER doing God's Work) <-- like duh!
or rather God just dropped that vision into my head.
so if your wondering.. Sarah Street would like be of course..
Sarah's own Place (wif her hubbie! like duh again!) + Filled with all the Houses of Different Groups of People that She Will impact and have Made a difference in!
So her street would be FILLED and LINED with all the people that she has impacted. Her Zone.. Family.. Friends..
Like a Reunion of Reunions
Similarity Combined with the Rest of US A Town. A Whole City filled in Heaven becos of US! W380!
Is like our own 'Custom House' only of course. In God's Kingdom haha!
. . .
W380 we do not want to stay the same. Becos We want to Grow.
Yes?!?!? We want to Go Out. Expand the Cell Grp. Multiply! Multiply!
And. Have our Own Sub Zone (SR sub zone?? haha >.<) W380. The Sky is the limits or rather Heaven is
A Preview of what Heaven can be for our Eternity A thought after hearing him preach on sat
