To any Christian who might want to become a teacher

Last week was my first sharing session at sparklight. A few days later, God dropped me a message through swordlight regarding teaching. God's timing is so zun! (timely)

In James 3:1-2, he said that not many should presume to be teachers. Why is that so?

To teach is not to have the freedom to say whatever you want or to enjoy your influence over others. Being a teacher has a price to it. It is precisely because their words have the capacity to have so much influence over others that teachers are more strictly judged by God (Luke 12:48, Hebrews 13:17).

3 specific reasons why not many should be teachers:

1. Teachers have greater accountability. They are supposed to have more knowledge & hence, they would have greater responsibility & accountability.

2. James said that we all stumble in many ways. When that happens, it would cause others to stumble in their relationship with God. A teacher needs to be watchful over their personal life.

3. It is difficult to bridle one's tongue, including the teacher. A controlled tongue is a good reflection of a controlled life & character of a person. However, people do lose control of it every now & then.

In conclusion, it is because of the fact that teachers have great potential & power to influence others, only people with proper motivation should consider to teach.

This might sound weird: I want to thank God for this warning~* d(^0^)b

Jesus is alive and He rocks!

Greetings brothers and sisters,

This is my first posting in this blog.

I came across these ideas as I was preparing teaching materials for the sparklighters. Hope you guys like it.

Warmly,
Fiona


The original was a picture of my friends and I throwing our square caps in our academic dress. I removed the caps and add in the words and angel.

Bonk!!! Victory. Yay! v(^_^)v

When Satan slithers secretly, scram!

Let's Bring This Blog Back

It's been a long while since I last posted any articles online through Blogger; was a bit too focused on my job. Well, I think there's a need now to use our blog as a communication platform.

Please take note of the poll widget to the right. Whenever there's events, I'll do up a new poll. Please kindly input your vote so that our welfare officer, Elaine, will be able to better organise the outings.

Let's try to bring this blog back to good use, what say? :D

Happy Chinese New Year!

Dear brothers and sisters!

May our Lord and Father be with us as we celebrate this Chinese New Year!

Be mindful of what you eat k? haha.. Nice nice things are nice but don't eat too much yo? ;)

Please take note that there'll NOT be any cell group this coming Wednesday, 28 January.

As always, refer to the widget to your right. ;)

As a gentle reminder, do remember that during our next cell, we're to prepare and share Question 4 from Chapter 5 | Horrors of Hell | Life & Death.

Have a blessed holiday! :D

"Next Cell" Widget

To disseminate information easier (hopefully *loL~*), I've created the "Next Cell" widget at the top of the side bar. Should be useful. Open for feedbacks. :D

Prayer For Troven

Sorry for the silence in a while guys, I've been very busy trying to accomplish too many overdue things. With the new year just in, I'm again back to work and crazy as before. *loL~*

I just got an sms from Harry today, and later in the day a call, that our brother Troven met with an accident at work, resulting in a fractured wrist. I could only imagine what happened via what Harry described; a chain fell down and hit Troven's wrist.

Although it's an unfortunate event, both of us agreed and gave thanks to God because the chain fell on Troven's wrist, not anywhere else.

Please pray in our Lord Jesus' Name for brother Troven for a speedy recovery, and a healing with no complications. Personally, I thought it'll be good to help pray for his safety at work and a better career prospect in this coming year.

Thanks all and I'll see you guys tomorrow! :)
