Today is twice as blessed for me today.
On my way to the first service, Paster Prince took the same lift as me. i said morning to him. he laughed, "made it in time ya?"
Then when i was waiting for my serving time at the chinese ministry, Pastor Mark shook my hand on his way out of the hall.
Law is about who Man is, Grace is about who God is.

Went early in the morning to serve in the Logistic Ministry.
Was very happy that Irin came over to join me for service. was even happier that my prayers were answered that it will be a good sermon.
why is it a good sermon? Paster Prince opened the sermon with the mentioning of some christians not attending the funeral of thier parents becos the funeral was of a different religion. also on the issue that some christians dont give or provide for thier parents. Paster Prince calls such christians perverted. it's not in the teachings of christ.
Some jokes that were told.
When Eve ask Adam, "Do you love me?" Adam replied "Who else?".
Every night after Adam falls asleep, Eve will be counting his ribs.

When you drive a car at very very high speed, are you sinning? Not if you are not breaking any law that says you shouldnt be drive that fast.
The strength of Sin lies in Law, without Law, we cant sin.

Went early this morning to serve God. heehee though yesterday was a very tiring day. i'm still able to wake up on time and arrive at Suntec on time.
Think currently is just training on how to do certain stuff. this week i was taught how to set up the stands for mic, music instruments and music scores. after that, we were given breakfast as well as reimbursement for the taxi fare this morning.
When God requires us to do anything, he will first provide us the strength and material so that we may do so. But God's Law is unbreakable and unyielding. How can the Word of God, the very Word that create the Universe, be weak and flexible?
So how will we break free from the Law in order to go to the Grace of God? When we are married, only when the husband dies, then the wife can be free from the law that bounds her to him. But God's Word cannot die, it will not bend, it is unbreakable.
God provides for our death, through the death of Jesus.
Sandals -
In the book of Ruth, there was a procedure where the closer relative gave up his right to marry Ruth. Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions in Israel.
With his sandals on, Law has the right to step all over his wife. by removing it, he gave up his right.
When Moses approached God, he was made to take off his sandal as he has no right to be standing.
When the Prodigal son returned, his father put sandals on him.
God has put sandals on me, so that i may trample all over life. Amen!

Romans 7
1Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
The main gist of this week's service. When we are under Grace, sin shall not be upon us. all the sin will be upon us no more. Amen. so can we go out and sin all that we wan?
Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Though while we are under Grace, sin will not have hold on us, BUT we have the choice to put ourselves in Sin or in Grace.
Amen!
