3) sympathy
Be understanding - Quick to listen and slow to speak.
4) mercy
Be forgiving - Never hold grudges because the Lord first forgave us.
5) honesty
Be honest - Speak the truth in love.
6) humility
Be humble - Focus on serving others.
7) courtesy
Be considerate - Respect one another's differences.
8) confidentiality
Do not gossip - What is shared in the group needs to stay in the group.
9) frequency
Make regular contact - Deep fellowship takes time.

Let's familiarise ourselves with this 9 characteristics(refer to it from time to time) and make it our mission for cell development. When the cell grows, the individual benefits.

Does God Exist?

More than that, does he love us? Does he care?
At some point in our lives, this qustion will carry a heavy weight in our heart, usually at the time when our lives are already overburdened with failures, disappointments and worries. Jesus said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Who is Jesus? A "Christian" God? One of the gods?

More than Words

He died for us, we live for Him

Press On Warriors!

Day after day, night after night, the weeks pass by silently and uneventfully. The rhythm of life did not change yet there's a sense of lethargicness that hangs over us. Maybe we're just tired trying to be in sync with the pace of the world. Whatever the reason may be, let us press on to the higher goal that God has called us to- to live our life as an offering of praise to God.
There're days when we are just tired, but let us not lose heart, for all these shall pass away.
Like what Pastor Mevlyn preached last Sunday, it's not our love for God that sustains us, rather it's His love us that keeps us going.

May the unfailing love of God satisfies us every morning. :)
