[13/03/05 at St George’s Church, at around 10.35am. This was an abbreviated version of my actual written testimony, which you can still find here.] Good morning everyone …An interesting thing happened to me three years ago. At that time I hadn’t committed myself to Christ yet – I was a ‘bench-warmer’, who’d listen to the…
My priest has asked me to give testimony at St George’s Church this Sunday at the 10am service. I’ve agreed. I think I know roughly what to talk about – what story to tell the congregation. Pray for me.
This morning I awoke, knowing that I had nearly forgotten to attend a meeting to prepare for my church’s forthcoming Alpha course. I didn’t really want to go. In fact I’d never have volunteered myself as a helper if my priest hadn’t put my name on the list. I was honoured when he asked, but…
I got confirmed today – this time in Church, by our Anglican bishop. Fortunately he didn’t ask us any trick questions! I feel confirmation is more a man-made tradition, so I was less excited about it than my baptism. Nonetheless, I learnt more about the church’s history and practices in catechism class. Anyway I won’t…
Skeptics, don’t ask me where I got these messages from. Message received by senior church member during our house blessing: The fish in our Koi pond shall grow to have unusual patterns. Everything that lives in there, shall flourish. (I am logging this down so we can keep track of it when something happens) Message…
Today, two friends were baptised in church. They were the couple who met at our Bible Study session, where I felt the “This is it!” sensation from the Holy Spirit. Over a year has passed since then, and they’re planning to get married already. This morning I was very happy to share in this joyous…
Today a year ago, I was baptised. This was my testimony. Time flies when you’re having fun 🙂
I just watched The Passion. I felt detached from most of the movie, probably because people had been prepping me to expect much blood and violence. Also, the knowledge that there was a Resurrection at the end, filled me with hope, not desolation. I did not cry or run out of the theatre, nor get…
My church group and I are finally watching The Passion this Thursday. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so enthusiastic watching a show full of gore and violence. It isn’t for the faint-hearted; already two people have died (a woman and a minister) of a heart attack from watching it. Interestingly, watching The Passion has…
Some of you may have started receiving emails about how a certain young man was horribly maimed in a robbery, found God, had plastic surgery and became a world famous actor who has now produced ‘The Passion of the Christ’. However, before you forward it on, it is only an urban legend. Mel Gibson did…
