Extending
TOUCH light
miniStRy
to LE Woodl ndS
TOUCHlight Ministry has successfully
ministered to numerous children
with differences since June 11 at our
weekly Miracle Service in LE Tampines.
Throughout these six months, the
Touchlighters have noticed improvement
in them. They are more compliant to
assigned tasks such as socializing in
the classroom, participating in class
activities as well as engaging in worship
and story-telling.
God has placed Touchlighters from
various professions in the ministry.
Without them, this ministry will not be
successful and many families with
special needs children will not be able
to attend church.
Recently, there were four salvation
cases – three parents and one youth
(special needs child) received Jesus
Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
Praise God!
We are extending the TOUCHlight
ministry to LE Woodlands on Saturday,
February 4, 2012. If you have a passion
to serve in this ministry, please call the
church office at 67881323.
Setting YouR CouRSe
wRitten by p StoR Rony t n
It’s not how you start this life’s journey
that really matters, but how you finish at
the end of it. Sadly, many finish poorly;
and tragically, others simply drop out of
the race.
There must be a way to set the course
of your life so that you are enabled to
live purposefully, meaningfully and
powerfully, having a sense of direction
all the time. Pastor Rony’s book, Setting
Your Course, outlines ten steps of
course-setting.
The following is an excerpt from his book.
Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out
of it are the issues of life.
Springing forth from your heart are the
issues or forces or springs of life. Your
heart is the innermost core of your being.
It is your spirit.
How do you keep your heart with all
diligence? It is by letting Jesus Christ keep
and guard it.
And how do you allow Christ to keep it?
It is by yielding and surrendering your
whole self to the Lord day by day, hour by
hour, minute by minute, and moment by
moment.
How do you do that? It is by agreeing and
obeying God’s Word in our daily lives.
That’s the way to keep our precious
relationship with God. And it is also a sure
way to stay on course.
So far in the preceding four steps of
course-setting, we have dealt with the
internal part of man - his spirit, his
thoughts, his feelings and attitudes.
For the most part, this realm is both
unheard and unseen by others.
Now let’s deal with the more detectable
and visible facets of man, from his words
to his behaviour and conduct. Your daily
habits of each facet of daily living will
determine your destiny.
We influence others mainly by our words
and deeds. People respond or react to us
because of the things we say or do. Their
response or reaction to us in turn have the
power to affect us.
5th Step
Set a good speech pattern
The Bible says, “...for out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh.” (Matthew
12:34; cf. Luke 6:45; Proverbs 16:23a).
This means that what you think of most of
the time will eventually be spilt out one way
or another. It will come out. The pressure
of constant inputs will result in some
outputs.
When you know a person long enough and
he has the liberty to express himself freely
to you, his words will betray the secrets of
his heart. It’s a matter of time before you
know what’s inside.
It has been estimated that a man speaks
25,000 words per day, whereas a woman
speaks 30,000 words daily. The conflict
between a man and a woman begins in the
timing of word exchanges.
After a tired day’s work, the man comes
home with his stock of 25,000 words
$ 7
almost depleted. Therefore, the last thing
he wants to do is talk. He looks forward to
a quiet and, if possible, silent evening.
However, he is cheerfully greeted by
his talkative wife who has been eagerly
waiting for him the whole day. While his
quota of words has already run out, she,
on the other hand, is ready to unload a full,
pent-up burst of 30,000 words.
Therefore, the evening conversation of
many couples goes like this:
Wife : Hi, honey, you are home.
Husband : Hi.
Wife : Did you have a good day?
Husband : Okay.
Wife : How was your lunch?
Husband : Okay.
Wife : How did that important meeting go?
Husband : Okay.
Wife : Do you want dinner now?
Husband : Okay.
Wife : How did you find this evening’s
dinner?
Setting Husband : Okay. youR
Wife : Are you okay?
Husband : Okay.
couRSe
It seems like those monosyllables are
the very last few words that are left for
the day. As the very last word is being
squeezed out of him, he is only ready for
one thing - his bed.
