hi all,
RS 2008 has just ended! Shall we say a thank you prayer to God?
"Thank you Lord for the Revival Seminar 2008 that has just passed, for the hearts touched, for your love that poured down upon us that weekend. Lord we celebrate your birth this Christmas, and we give our lives for your purpose. Use us and mould us. We love you Lord!"
And so let's sing...
THis is a song that never fails to inspire me, draw me back to the "path" and to hope for the future once more. It's a majestic song,.. poignant tune,... and simply breath-taking. Today, i hear this song again, and am amazed that I was able to find lyrics and a youtube video online. Previously, could not find anything much.
I was hearing this song and just closing my eyes trying to picture the scenario. ANd i just thought of a very "lonely" eternal highway. It's quite empty. But it is going on forever. Of course, it leads to Jesus. or Jesus is the one walking on it. But people are not... they are in their own businesses, occupying themselves in their worlds. The highway is empty...

Dm G C (Intro)
We want to enter your rest
Lord it’s Your mercy and good intention
That constantly calls us to You
Your infinite patience and kind correction
Your covenant love coming through
You promised joy, you give us grace
And courage to carry the cross
We want to leave a clear set of footprints
For those who would follow behind
Signposts in our lives that point to Jesus
A pathway they’ll easily find
We want to fill up the suff’rings of Jesus
As we obey, our lives display
The glorious way of the cross
You are our hope and our salvation
Tonite, I asked the Lord... what is my life to you?
God said...in my heart... don't you want to live in heaven with Me forever?
Hear this song:
Marlene & Jacqueline are going off today to Philippines - Payatas, to Paaralang Pantao (a humane school) for a mission trip over the weekend. They will be staying in the school, helping kids with handicrafts, christmas carols and stuff. These kids are very poor and survive with makeshift materials from wherever they can find from the dumpsite. So keep them in prayer and that Marlene and Jac will bring back many great testimonies and photos for us!

An excerpt from a post on SgForums by "adetet" on 5 July 08
" ...I am not a Catholic. I actually had a negative impression of Catholics. The first Church I ever attended was the Novena Church and I liked the priests homily. Its down to earth. Protestant Churches are more warm in the way they greet you, the music and prayers, services etc. are meant to bring you to an emotional high. But if you listen to the Eucharistic prayer in the Catholic Church ? man, nothing beats that; . it is so moving and powerful. And if anyone has ever listend to a Euchasristic prayer during Mass, they would know that protestants talk rot when they keep claiming that catholics do not know God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. and Catholics worship Mary as Goddess. This stubborness to accept what is before their very eyes turned me off Protestant Churches and Protestant pastors who would condemn the Catholic Church from their holy altar. I have never heard a Catholic Priest use the altar to condemn Protestants! Which is why when I want to go to Church, it is only a Catholic Church I will go to and my
very favourite is the Novena Church."
