Light & Shelter

Matthew 5: 14-16 reads “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Jesus says to us, "You are the light of the world." Jesus has given us His light, Jesus has made us light, for only one purpose – to shine for Jesus. Like the lighthouse keeper we have no excuse if we do not keep the light burning.

Let us be encouraged and remember His promises that He who dwells in the Shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust'...If you make the Most High your dwelling, even the LORD, who is my refuge—then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
Psalm 91:1-2, 9-12

Atonement and meaning of life

Atonement is a doctrine that describes how sin can be forgiven by God. In Christian theology the atonement refers to the forgiving or pardoning of sin through the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion, which made possible the reconciliation between God and creation.

Ambassador

We are therefore Christ's ambassadors says 2 Cor 5:20.

I was wondering what are some of the duties of an ambassador and what I discovered is

1. Be faithful to the one who sent you

2. Not to be entangeled with the local custom where you have been sent

3. Return to your homeland at the appointed time.

Until then do as what you have been told

FIREPROOF

Our next movie screen is FIREPROOF, a 2008 Christian drama film directed by Alex Kendrick (also acted in Facing the Giants), who co-wrote and co-produced it with Stephen Kendrick.

Reviews for the film were mixed. They were quite positive from Christian film critics; however, the film received more success at the box office, with Fireproof becoming a surprise hit debuting at #4 and becoming the highest-grossing independent film of 2008.

It received awards from evangelical Christian organizations, including the Best Feature Film award at the 2009 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. It was released on DVD on January 27, 2009.

So if you have not seen it do join us on May 8 at NGC. Screening starts at 7pm. Light refreshment (finger food) will only be served. So do have tea or early dinner or if you prefer a late supper at 10pm.

Facing the Giants

The movie that was screen last month at NGC is special to me because it speaks about God doing the impossible. This is really an amazing film that has given the viewer the inspiration to trust God more.

Hebrews 11:1"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Jeremiah 29:11"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

John 16:33"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
