Stepping Out With God - Pasir Panjang Church of Christ Singapore

The Kind of Service
that Pleases God
The most important thing for a child of God to do is to live the life of a
Christian that pleases God. As the light of the world (Matthew 5:16), we are
to let our light shine wherever we go, so that all may see our good works and
give glory to our Father in heaven.
All Christians should strive to devote each day for Christ and walk with Him,
as we are studying at our Sunday 9:30am Bible class. Like our elders, our
lives must be beyond reproach, and an example to believers in word, in
conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity (1 Timothy 4:12).
As we grow in faith, every Christian should desire to serve the church, like
the house of Stephanas, whom the Bible describes as ‘addicted themselves
to the ministry’ (1 Corinthians 16:15). We thank the Lord that He has raised
many like the house of Stephanas at PP who diligently and sacrificially pitch
in to serve the Lord in a wholehearted and cheerful way. It is my joy to
mention just a few of these great servants of the Lord at PP whom I want to
uphold as role models of the kind of Christian service that pleases God.
Brother Daniel Ng and his family are the Von Trapps of PP. They enjoy
singing as a family and are really outstanding and passionate about it. Instead
of keeping this talent to themselves, as soon as they transferred to PP, they
searched for ways to share with the congregation. In a new environment,
working with the leadership is not without its hiccups. On one occasion, they
were ready to throw in the towel. Still, like true troopers, they persevered
and greatly blessed PP with regular monthly a cappella singing, quarterly
singspiration and singing classes.
Brother Peter Lim obeyed the Lord with his brother, Ting Jwee in his teens.
Through the years, he has been active and faithfully serving the Lord, bringing
his parents to Christ. In the past several years, he was our MVP (most
valuable player), as he took over the organisation of the annual church
camp from our church staff. He went on to serve as the current chairman
of our ROS (Registry of Societies). A 'take charge' guy, he turned our
occasional Awareness leadership sessions into regular ROS sessions, and
along with it, the AGM and other activities under his purview. I am glad that
we have such a servant of the Lord at PP.
