NO MORE DELAY by David Lai

Text: John 5: 1-9

This man had a “lifetime” membership of sickness. We need to get out of our “lifetime” membership of failures, sickness, poverty, etc. The LORD desires NEW BEGINNINGS for us. Jesus has made it possible for us to withdraw our membership from our past so that we can enter NEW BEGINNINGS.

1. We must move from being a “give me” Christian to a “make me” Christian.
1. The 9 lepers had a touch of God (give me) but one leper had an encounter with God (make me). Luke 17:12-19
2. The prodigal son started with “give me my portion” and ended up defeated. When he became a “make me” son, he had abundance. Luke 15:12, 19
3. OT: Israelites always demanded “give me, give me, and give me”. God still gave but it was not His perfect will.

2. If we give excuses, we will never experience breakthroughs.
1. John 5:7 “No one helps me, others get in before me..”
2. Abraham and Sarah made excuses that they were too old to bear children. Only when they believed, breakthrough came! Gen 16, 17

3. Do not complain or question God’s work in our lives.
1. Phil 2:13 Our WILL involves the MIND and DO involves ACTION and OBEDIENCE.
2. How can the world see a difference if we are complaining just like they are? Rom 12:1-2
3. We are a chosen generation called out to PRAISE HIM (NOT COMPLAIN) 1 Pet 2:9

4. We are a covenant people. Rev 10:1-7
1. Rev 10:6 That there will be delay no longer!
2. Rev 10:1 The rainbow speaks of the covenant that the OT saints had with God after the flood. For the NT believer, the rainbow speaks of Jesus our New Covenant.
3. The rainbow now becomes a powerful reminder of our justification in Jesus.
4. Even though Noah was exposed, yet he was justified by the covenant.
5. Abraham lied about Sarah but God never found fault with him because he was covenanted with God. Gen 12:13
6. Heb 11:39-40 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: (40) God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
7. The promise is not just healing, blessing, prosperity, its JESUS and His finished work on the cross that guarantees us the covenant relationship.

So delay no longer. Let’s enter our New Beginnings!

OUR COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD Part II

At the core of every relationship is the dynamic tension that can lead to growth and maturity. Elements of take control and surrender.

How to identify when to surrender and when to take charge?

As we study Bible characters we would notice some very general patterns that most of them followed in seeking God’s will in entering into New Beginnings.

The STOP Method

1. Surrender

• Do not remember the former things nor consider the things of old (surrender) Is 43:18-19; forgetting what is behind (Phil 3:13)
• Luke 9:23 deny himself (surrender) and follow me.
• Abraham surrendered (Gen 11:31 & 12:1-3; Gen 22 sacrifice Isaac; Luke 9:59,61
• Many remain in surrender and don’t move on to the next part. What do we do after surrender?
  

2. Trust

• Abraham trusted that God would provide the sacrifice.
• Joseph trusted God to bring to pass the destiny. That God has New Beginnings for him. Do we?
• Trusting God’s grace (His unmerited favor) instead of our self efforts. Devil’s ploy to tire us out, burn out, strive
• Jesus trusted; Paul trusted (2 Tim 1:12)
  

3. Obey

• 1 Sam 15:22, Is 1:19
• Children of Israel in the wilderness-obedience issue-manna to be collected day to day (still an issue today? Word?
• Nation of Israel-Judges 2-3: apostasy, oppression, repentance, restoration.
• Many give up at OBEY.
  

4. Persevere, Patience

• (Heb 6:12) That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (Jas 1:3) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
• Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
  

Conclusion

• We need to understand that this is a dynamic relationship and it through the understanding and living this relationship that we are launched into the New Beginnings with God.
• In the end, it is not so much what we achieve or the goals that we attain but the richness of the relationship we have grown with God.
• God’s ultimate aim in giving us New Beginnings is not goals but to draw us closer to Him!

Communication Skills by Christopher K

Quick To Listen, Slow To Speak; “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.”

The Challenges Of Communication

• Speaking too much
• Different backgrounds (paradigms)
• Speaking before thinking
• Wrong attitudes
• Poor listening skills ; “He who answers before listening that is his folly and shame.” (Proverbs 18:13)

Basic Styles Of Listening

1. The JUDGMENTAL listener
2. The INTERROGATIVE listener
3. The ADVICE-GIVING listener
4. The EMPATHIC listener

Barriers To Listening

• Preoccupied with something else
• Mind is already made up
• Interruptions and distractions
• Mind wanders (daydreaming)
• Lack of interest
• Defensive reaction to criticism

Overcoming Barriers To Listening

• Become active:
  
• Get involved in the discussion;
  
• Ask questions;
  
• Seek clarification ;
  
• Reflect feelings
• Use ‘alert’ body language: Erect posture (if seated, lean forward slightly);
  
• Maintain eye contact

Overcoming Barriers To Listening

• Periodically summarize: “So what you’re saying is that…”
• Acknowledge criticism, but don’t react

Levels Of Listening

• Ignoring
• Pretend Listening
• Selective Listening
• Attentive Listening
• Empathic Listening; Everyone’s life is so singular, so unique. Who will listen to understand that uniqueness?

Empathic Listening

• Interpreter
• Listening with your ears, eyes, and heart
• Caring attitude
• Sincere desire to understand
• Not agreeing, disagreeing, or offering solutions simply seeking to understand

“The one who listens does the most work, not the one who speaks.”

OUR COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Click Here to listen

At the core of every relationship is the dynamic tension that can lead to growth and maturity. Elements of take control and surrender. Dying to self centered desires and surrendering to God’s will, take charge of God’s call on your life, courageously overcoming the challenges and fulfilling our destiny.

2 Tim 2:20-21

There are 2 processes at work.

The Surrender Posture
Shedding-ego, fears, control. Submission to God. God in first place. Honor, respect and deference (reverence) to God.
Prepares us to communicate with God. (Keep meditating on who we are right now…don’t hear the old voices any more, reject it!).
A Posture of Peace. A place of trust, assurance and confidence that God is with us. It isn’t an event but a daily process.

The Take Charge Posture
Personal responsibility (Peter release from prison Acts 12:7-8)
God has given us a free will and the ability to make choices. (Adam and Eve).
A posture of power, courage, personal initiative, leadership, integrity, accountability, discipline, perseverance, action and follow through It is in this posture that our partnership with God manifests in our lives and at work.
When God asked Nehemiah to build the wall, he did not ask God to build it for him but asked God for strength to build it. Same thing with Solomon. All through the Bible we find such examples.

The Surrender Posture actually prompts the Take Charge Posture.

Our New Beginnings in whatever area is determined by both our posture of surrender and taking charge. The KEY is to understand when to surrender and when to take charge. Our tendency is normally to try to control things we have to surrender and surrender things that we have to take charge.

Serenity Prayer
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Oswald Chambers
“Our Lord never takes measures to make me do what He wants. Sometimes I wish God would master and control me to make me do what He wants, but He will not. And at other times I wish He would leave me alone, and He does not.”

IN JESUS NAME

Click Here to Listen to this Message

We have used this phrase many times without fully realizing the power of that phrase or even what it really means.

Col 1:26-27

What does the phrase IN JESUS NAME signify?

1. IT’S A COVENANTAL STATEMENT.
1. VERTICAL: We are declaring that we are in covenant relationship with the LORD. Phil 2:5-11; John 14:12-14; John 15:12-17
2. HORIZONTAL: To operate in that Name, we are to acknowledge the covenant relationship we have with one another. God has however given us the power and the revelation of this relationship i.e. we don’t have to strive to get into the relationship, only to maintain it and to enhance it. The moment we say “In Jesus Name”, we are declaring that we are one in Jesus; we have the authority) and the privilege of using that Name because we are part of His Body! John 17:11; Eph 4:3

What if the other person doesn’t agree with me? We are still in covenant relationship not based on how the other person is responding or what they say! Our covenant relationship is based on what Christ has accomplished on the finished work of the cross! We are the BODY of Christ!

Matt 18:18-20; Mark 9:37; Mark 9:41

One of the biggest weapons of Satan is to cause brethren to be in disunity. If he can just keep us apart and from praying with each other, he has accomplished his purpose. Imagine the power that is released when husband and wife pray together, brothers and sisters, children and parents; is there anything that will be impossible to us as we believe in that NAME?

2. IT’S A NAME THAT GIVES US THE POWER & AUTHORITY.

Mark 16:16-18; Mark 9:39; Matt 28:18-20; Acts 3:16

3. WE ARE HUMBLED BY THAT NAME

We are declaring through Jesus Name, whatever we are praying for has been accomplished by Jesus on the cross i.e. healing, finances, salvation. It is grace released into that situation, not our strength. It’s an act of humility. We are saying we are submitted to that Name. Without that Name our prayers are powerless.

2 Chron 7:14-17

Let’s not use that Name in vain but use it with covenant, power/authority and humility!

Prayer: Give us New Understanding in this Year of New Beginnings of the Name of Jesus!

The Resurrrection
By Rev Albert V Jebanayagam

1 Thess 4:13-18

Christians don’t die; we fall asleep when the time comes we can and will be woken up.

1. When the trumpet sounds:

• The Lord Himself will descend with a shout.
• The voice of the archangel and the trumpet sound
• The dead in Christ will rise first.
• We will be caught up to be with the LORD

2. There are 2 things that we are comforted about and bring this comfort to the world:

• Those who have fallen asleep can and will be woken up.
• Life is precious to those of us who are still alive. We are to use it with the greatest effect in bringing others to Christ.
  

3. Types of resurrection (of those who had fallen asleep) found in the NT and OT.

• Lk 7:11 The widow of Nain. She did not ask Jesus for help. He simply saw her grief and responded.
• Mark 5:41: Jesus saw the desperation of Jairus and responded to his plea.
• John 11:43 Jesus raised Lazarus in spite of being dead for 4 days.
• 1 Kg 17:24 The words of a “man of God” brought life to the boy.
• 2 Kgs 4:35 Elisha raises the Shunammite’s woman’s son from the dead.
  
  

THE WORD of the TRUE PROPHET of Malaysia shall bring life and revival to this land!

Here I am, Send me
By David Lai

Click here to listen to this message

Isa 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

• There is a difference between “Here I am” and “I am here”.
• The first means we are present and available and the other one just means that we are present i.e. in class and paying attention or just in class, present.
• Our King Uzziah could be our carrier, friends, family, money, health. This could be the reason as to why many times we are present in church; “I am here”; but not available. Until we let our Uzziah die, we cannot become present and available; “Here am I”.
• We need to decide when our “King” dies; who is going to be our next “King”. We can allow another “King” to take the throne or we can turn to God.
• God is waiting for us to speak to him and once we turn to Him the veil over our eyes will be removed and we will see the supernatural take place v.1-3
• It is a place of total bankruptcy to self and total dependency upon God v.5-7
• Not by might i.e. political, educational or financial, etc; but by the Spirit of God.
• We can fix problems but only God can cleanse our sins. Isaiah was cleansed and he said “Here am I”.
• Moses turned to the burning bush (present and available) and God called him. Samuel ran to Eli (Present and available) and God called him.
• If we are present we may hear once “Samuel” but if we are available we will keep on hearing “Samuel, Samuel”. 1 Sam 3:1-10
• God calls the foolish. The Bible “foolish” here is not “stupid”. It’s a foolishness of not measuring the way the world measures things. 1 Cor 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
• Jn 15:16 God chose us and appointed us; when we are appointed, we need to simply make ourselves available. Appointment brings the anointing which is the empowerment and the authorization of God.
• That our “Fruit” should remain; only one fruit; to be conformed to the image of Christ i.e. sons!
• People begin to recognize God in us-when we are present and available.
• Is 8:18, Mark 16:15 Our lives begin to be a signboard leading people to God through signs, wonders and miracles.
  
  

Conclusion
Is 58:9 When we say “Here I am” and are available, God says to us “Here I am”. God is always available to those who are not just present but available to Him.

Is 66:1-2 We touch heaven and change earth!

Prayers That Move God’s Heart
Ps. Abel Phillips

Click here to listen to this message

Text: Acts 10:1-8

Characteristics of Cornelius (verse 2) that moved God’s heart to answer:

1. Devoted – pious /godly and committed to the highest ideals. – God / authorities etc

2. God Fearing – world manipulates. God is respectful, the world does not respect,

• Respect one another/ authority, flag / rules/ other ethnics groups.
• Disrespect brings disorder and disunity and stops God from hearing us.
• God answers when there is a spirit of respect and unity. Our motions and money used to please God.
  

1 Thess 5:14-22 – call us to abstain from all form of evil
Eph 6:1-3 – Children obey your parents.

3. Generous – gives alms to the poor /needy. God is generous / we should not manipulate with money.
John. 3:16 – God is generous – He gave His only SON for us.
To be generous is to charitably contribute. Start to learn on how to give generously... to others, church, leaders for this pleases God

4. Servant - He served (v2) with his family. How did he make his soldiers and family follow him? He learnt to serve. Jesus, the Creator said, he came not to be served but to serve. (Matt 20:28)
Today, our society – likes to be served not to serve. Change now! We have all been called to serve.

Moral of the story

God knew Cornelius’ name. He knows your name too.

Cornelius had 3 encounters as the result of his prayer.

• Vision – God gives Pictures – praying / forgive/ helping etc.
• Instruction – God gives us information and direction in life
• Acceptance – acceptance in the KOG / God’s family.
  
  

Our duty is to let them (our neighbours, relatives and people we are acquainted with) know that God accepts them through GRACE by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

God answers when our hearts are ready.

Pray: Lord, give us a heart of disposition to respond to You, always abiding in You, that we may bear fruits that are pleasing to You, bringing blessings to others (John15:5).

Living A Burden-Free Life
by Ps Samuel Hari

Click here to listen

Mat 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. (29) "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. (30) "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

• Who are “all who weary?” This is an invitation only to these and not to anyone else. Symptoms?

• What does weariness cause? We become tired, condemned, burdened, overwhelmed, sickness, stress, resentful, unforgiving, pride, fear, etc

• What are weary of? People’s expectation? Our own expectation? Your own “religious expectations? The law? Legalism? The world value system?

So this invitation is for each and everyone of us!

We have sometimes brought the world into the church. We have superimposed the world template onto the church template. Why? We live in the world and are exposed from the world systems from childhood. Rom 12:2

• It is a system of the law and legalism
• Our whole value system is based on point system!
• The LORD desires for us to live a burden free life!
• First of all we need to realize that a burden is a curse! Reject it! (Gen 3:17, Genesis 5:29, Ecclesiastes 1:13-14, Ecclesiastes 2:17, Romans 8:20-22)

• Where do we go? “Come to me” Don’t carry your own yoke (religion, expectations, self righteousness); take HIS yoke (the finished work of the cross that carries the unmerited favor of God).

• How to go? “learn from me” “I am gentle and humble in heart”. The key is to be humble. Humility is needed to stop and pray. Pride says we can go on ourselves (religion, legalism). God resists to proud but gives grace to the humble.

• What happens? “YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. (30) "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

· Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to change our mind-sets. Let’s begin to read scripture from the point of the NT. From the point of the finished work of the cross. The OT is important and must now read from the NT mindset. 2 Chr 7.14; Jn 10.10; 1 Cor 11.29, Col 1.10. What is worthy enough?

· The LORD desires for us to live a burden-free life. How? We are burden free as we look at Jesus and the finished work of the cross. He has born all our burdens. In fact carrying burdens is an act of pride and God resists the proud. No wonder we’ve been stressed out! (1 Pet 5:5-11 (AMP), Ps 37.5 (Roll thy way upon, the LORD. Heb))

PRESS STATEMENT

A Response to the Prime Minister's Speech at the General Assembly of UMNO on November 8, 2007.

The Christian Federation of Malaysia has noted with great appreciation Datuk Seri Adbullah Badawi's presidential address to the UMNO 58th General Assembly where he had stressed the importance of maintaining harmony between the various communities and religions.

As Prime Minister, his speech was not only meant for the UMNO delegates but also for the whole nation.

In his speech he particularly highlighted the central place of the Federal Constitution and for it to be interpreted as a whole and in the spirit of the social contract of the founding leaders of the nation.

He also called for curbing all forms of religious extremism, bigotry and overzealous enforcement of laws that curb the freedom of religion as guaranteed in the Federal Constitution.

His clarion call must engage the best efforts of all Malaysians to ensure that our country is governed with honesty, integrity, justice, equality and peace.

The Christians of Malaysia want to assure the Prime Minister that we are prepared to work with all other religious communities in mutual dialogue and accountability. The well-being of our country can only be achieved by practicing religious moderation and respecting the Constitution as the supreme law of the land.

The government should act decisively against those who promote religious chauvinism and extremism that can greatly harm the spirit of religious harmony existing in our country.

May God grant the Prime Minister and his cabinet ministers good health and wise counsel as they lead the country to become a model of inter-religious harmony for other nations to emulate.

Walking in Repentance
By Ps Francis Peters

Amo 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.

How do we strengthen our inner man? By walking in repentance

• Offenses must come; however our inner man must be strong. Our inner man can be weakened by unconfessed sin. When we are strong in our inner man than we will be strong outwardly i.e. healing, deliverance, joy of the LORD, etc. Mt 18:7, Pro 18:14; Pro 17:22. We become strong by focusing on the Christ’s finish work on the cross.
• We must follow God’s way of correcting those who offend us. Mt 18:15-17
• God desires to give us abundant life Jn 10:10
• Speak and confess correct words that bring life and health. Mt 18:21; Mt 12:36
• Ps 41:4 Asking God to heal our soul through Christ.
• 1 Jn 1:8-9 If we say we have no sin, we are not telling the truth. However, through the finished work of Christ on the cross we are forgiven and have victory.
• Isa 38:3 (part) ….how I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart, and have done the good in Your sight. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
• Mic 6:13 Sickness can be due to unconfessed sin our lives. We can come to Jesus and receive His finished work on the cross and be made whole!
  
  

2 Cor 5:17 We are a New Creation! Old things (our flesh, our own efforts, works of the law) have passed away and behold ALL things (blessings, prosperity, health and healing, the joy of the LORD, etc) are new and ours!

When Trust Is Established

Ministries of Francis Frangipane Weekly Message System

Please read the article in the above link.

It is said that "Having RESENTMENT is like drinking a cup of poison and expecting the other person to die". Let's stop drinking poison today and trust in the finished work of the cross!

God bless.

Sunday Speaker 4th Nov 2007

Please take note that this coming Sunday we are blessed to have our own prayer warrior and man of God, Ps Francis Peters to share with us the word of God.

What We Project

What We Project

"Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."1

On one occasion when I was in a particular group, one man constantly and bitterly complained how negatively other people treated him.

As kindly as I could I finally said to him, "You know, John, what we project is what we get back!"

I felt as though my words fell on "deaf, angry" ears!

The fact remains, if we constantly project negative vibes and express negative words, that is what we will receive in return. Also, if we constantly project feelings of anger and express angry words, anger responses is what we will receive in return.

On the other hand, if we constantly project loving and warm feelings and express kind, loving and encouraging words, that, too, is what we will receive in return.

Unless we are being persecuted because of our Christian faith, as a general rule what we consistently project is what we consistently get back. As Jesus also said, "We reap what we sow."

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to realize and accept the fact that if I am constantly feeling put down, rejected or criticized, chances are (in most cases) it may just be because of the attitude that I am projecting. Help me see what my problem is and lead me to the help I need to change. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."

1. Jesus (Luke 6:38, NIV).

GODLY WISDOM – HOW TO GET IT AND HOW TO USE IT!
By Don Boots

Click here to listen to this message

If our Father God offered you anything in the world that you wanted, what would you ask for?

• King Solomon asked for wisdom – Wisdom to discern good from evil, so that he could lead God’s people wisely.
• However, the attraction of wealth and possessions, plus, the foreign women he married eventually pulled his heart away from serving God, and caused Solomon, and the nation of Israel, to fall into idolatry.
• The lesson is clear. Keep our love for the Lord, and His Wisdom, as the number one primary objective in our lives – all our lives.

Godly Wisdom – How to get it and How to keep it.

(I) – What is Godly Wisdom?

Proverbs 1:1-7 (NLT) Psalms 14, 53 & Psalm 119:99

“Wisdom is Knowledge, and the power of applying it – or common sense.” Oxford Dictionary

(II) – What does Godly Wisdom do for us?

Proverbs 2: 1-12 (NLT)

People with Godly Wisdom are generally Faithful Available Submissive Teachable

Proverbs 2: 6-8 Who gives wisdom?

(III) How do we get this Godly Wisdom?

We learn it! (Proverbs 1: 2 NLT) We learn it by listening to God’s Holy Spirit and keep His advice – not man’s, and following what God’s Word says.

Proverbs 8:12-17 (NLT), Proverbs 8: 32-33 (NLT)

(IV) How do we keep Godly Wisdom?

Joshua 1:8 (NLT)

1. STUDY God’s Word
2. MEDITATE on it
3. TWICE a Day – morning and night
4. OBEY what is written in it
5. Stay HUMBLE

James 4:6 and I Peter 5:5 say “God Resists the proud and gives Grace to the Humble.

Our actions often have repercussions our children feel. I Chronicles 12: 1

• Having Godly Wisdom requires work and diligent effort.
• The rewards are so much more beneficial than the effort it takes.
• God’s Wisdom is for EVERYONE
• Keep your heart in tune with God’s Wisdom and obey His Voice. James 3: 13-18
• People become lazy and neglect reading the Word and spending time in God.

CHOOSE TODAY – not to be one of those who get lazy – CHOOSE TODAY – Godly Wisdom and a Godly Lifestyle (Deuteronomy 30: 15-19)

TODAY – CHOOSE LIFE! YOU MAKE THE CHOICE!

Why we should give our lives to share the Gospel.
by Dr Peter Chin

We are in the business of ‘making disciples’ - Great Commission

1. God did not call the angels to preach the Gospel. God has given us this awesome privilege to witness for Him.

2. The modern church has many sins. Ranking high in the sins of the modern church is the sin that we would not dream of as a sin – the sin of silence. – failing to witness JC to this dying world.

Why we as Christians should be giving our lives to share the Gospel of JC?

A. COMMISSION OF JESUS 2 COR. 5:17-20

Command

– the supreme duty

– the supreme command.

B. COMPASSION OF JESUS - Jonah; Jude 21-23;Ps 126:5-6

OUR TEARS - Missing element in our life. Ps. 126:5-6, Matt. 9:36, Rom 9:2

PEOPLE DON’T CARE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE.

• Romans 8:9
• Going – Sowing – Weeping - Reaping
• If we want to grow in our spiritual life, the answer is share the Gospel to others.
• If you want your Christian life to be exciting, you must continue to share the Gospel
• I pray that you will dare enough and care enough to share the Gospel. To say, Lord, any time, anywhere, any cost, I will go.
• God has put feet on our faith to take the Gospel everywhere. Start where you are!

C. COMPETENCY IN JESUS Act 1:8; 2 Cor. 3:5

- Jesus has called us to a life of faithfulness not success. On the contrary, He has also called us to a life of fruitfulness. John 15

The COMPETENCE / adequacy of Jesus in us through the HS – will overcome our fears and reluctances to share the Gospel.

We must know who we are in Christ to begin with to be effective in sharing the Gospel. Then to know that He has deposited the HS power in every child of God to make contagious and mighty witnesses in this land.

He will make you able and adequate to accomplish His task.

2. The modern church has many sins. Ranking high in the sins of the modern church is the sin that we would not dream of as a sin – the sin of silence. – failing to witness JC to this dying world.

Why we as Christians should be giving our lives to share the Gospel of JC?
