THERE IS value in history, and remembrance<br />

is a mark of respect.<br />

The wise king says, “remove not the<br />

ancient landmark, which thy fathers have<br />

set” (Prov 22:28). So it is fitting that, on<br />

the <strong>50</strong> th anniversary of Life B-P Church,<br />

her offspring should render their due respects<br />

to rejoice with her and to remember<br />

the Lord’s goodness upon her for the last<br />

half-century.<br />

Calvary (Jurong) B-P Church is a direct<br />

beneficiary of Life B-P Church, having<br />

come forth from her some thirty years<br />

ago. Today we continue to benefit from the<br />

ministry of Life B-P Church. It is our<br />

prayer that, while the Lord tarries, Life B-<br />

P Church will continue to be the standard<br />

bearer of God’s truth. “Thou hast given a<br />

banner to them that fear thee, that it may<br />

be displayed because of the truth” (Ps<br />

60:4).<br />

“Thy children like olive plants round about<br />

thy table” (Ps 128:3b)<br />

LIFE CHURCH is like a table surrounded<br />

by olive plants. <strong>50</strong> years<br />

ago, it started in Prinsep Street. At<br />

that time, it was just an empty table. But<br />

today, it is overflowing with olive plants<br />

not only locally but also globally. It all<br />

started with the vision of a man, Dr Timothy<br />

Tow, who feared the Lord. The <strong>Bible</strong><br />

says “Behold, that thus shall the man be<br />

blessed that feareth the Lord” (Ps 128:4)<br />

Today, at your <strong>50</strong> th anniversary, we<br />

can truly echo the saying of the Psalmist:<br />

“The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion; and<br />

thou shall see the good of Jerusalem all the<br />

days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy<br />

children’s children, and peace upon Israel.”<br />

(Ps 128:5,6) Calvary B-P Church Mandarin<br />

Services are just two of the many granddaughter<br />

churches which came out of Life<br />

Church. We rejoice with you at your <strong>50</strong> th<br />

anniversary.<br />

Elder Cheng Wei Nien<br />

Calvary Pandan (English)<br />

“Casting all your care upon him; for he<br />

careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because<br />

your adversary the devil, as a roaring<br />

lion, walketh about, seeking whom he<br />

may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the<br />

faith, knowing that the same afflictions are<br />

accomplished in your brethren that are in<br />

the world. But the God of all grace, who<br />

hath called us unto his eternal glory by<br />

Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a<br />

while, make you perfect, stablish,<br />

strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and<br />

dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”<br />

(1 Pet 5:7-11)<br />

GOD IS GOOD to <strong>His</strong> people. May<br />

your Pastor and Session march<br />

ever onward and forward in the<br />

strength of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many<br />

battles have been fought and God has given<br />

you the victory. All praise be to <strong>His</strong> Holy<br />

Name. Many more battles remain to be<br />

fought for Satan is as a roaring lion seeking<br />

whom he may devour. Be sober and<br />

vigilant and fight the good fight of faith<br />

faithfully till Jesus comes again. Amen.<br />
