Building a Church Aft er God's Own Heart
Christians today hold different views on the church. Many
Christians like to attend churches that have lots of people,
worshipping in beautiful and grand church buildings
which are fully equipped. Some Christians choose to
attend churches with lots of activities, above par praise
and worship teams, as well as full of warmth and love. As we come
to build the church of God, we cannot just follow human opinions;
we must return to the Bible, to study the teachings of Jesus, the
model of the early church and the teachings of the apostles, in
order to build a church after God?s own heart.
What kind of church is a church after God?s own heart? I want to
share the following five aspects for us to reflect together.
1. A Church That Pursues Unit y in One Spirit
The desire of Jesus is for Christians to pursue unity. According to
John chapter 17, in His final parting prayer, the Lord Jesus pleaded
with the Father specifically for the unity of the disciples and for the
unity of the church through the age: ?And I am no longer in the
world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy
Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that
they may be one, even as we are one. ? I do not ask for these only,

The Lord's Supper is often used to indicate church unity
Gerard de Lairesse, The Institution of the Eucharist, 1664-1665

but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they do not ask for these only, but also
for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one? .? (John 17:11, 20-21a).
The division in the church will definitely bring shame to the name of the Lord, cause stumble among our
brothers and sisters, and destroy the work of the church. Only a church in unity can prosper the gospel,
develop ministry, and honour the name of the Lord. In Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul reminded believers to
maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. He taught us to do so ?with all humility and
gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in
the bond of peace.? It is my hope that believers of the Methodist Church will do their best to keep the
unity in the Lord.
2. A Church That Prays Toget her in One Spirit
It is also the will of Jesus for the Christians to pray together in one spirit. In Matt. 18:19, Jesus told us the
promise of praying together. Jesus said: ?Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything
they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.? Here, we are reminded of the importance for
believers to pray together as a body. After Jesus ascended into heaven, the first time the believers
gathered together was in a prayer meeting where everyone prayed in one spirit and it brought about the
coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. From the records of Acts, we see that the early church put a great
emphasis on prayer. Thus, at that time, God performed many miraculous signs and wonders through the
apostles, and the ministry of the church continued to expand. It is my hope that believers of the
Methodist Church will value prayer and be involved in praying in one spirit.

3. A Church That Nurt ures Disciples
For Christians to nurture disciples is the command
of Jesus. The great commission that Jesus gave,
before his ascension into heaven, is for his
disciples to ?go and make disciples of all nations.?
One of the purposes of the church is to proclaim
the gospel and nurture disciples, so that they can,
in turn, witness for our Lord Jesus on earth and
produce many more disciples. The believers of the
early church truly experienced ?the Lord adding to
their number day by day, those who were being
saved.? The believers at that time must have been
very active in sharing the gospel of Jesus with
others. When the Lord gave them those who had
been saved, the apostles nurtured those new
believers to enable them to ?devote themselves to
the apostles?teaching.? In Colossians 2:6-7, Paul
also taught us, that after believers received Christ
Jesus the Lord, they still need to be ?rooted and
built up in him and established in the faith, just as
you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.? It is
my hope that the believers of the Methodist
Church not only attend Discipleship classes, but
also lead others to believe in Jesus, and nurture
the new believers to grow in Christ.
4. A Church That Lives Out t he Love of God
For Christians, to live out the love of God is also a
command of Jesus. Jesus told us: ?This is my
commandment, that you love one another as I
have loved you.? (Jn 15:12). The Apostle Peter also
told us to ?make every effort to add to your faith,
godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection,
and brotherly affection with love.? (2 Pet 1:5, 7).
Paul taught us that love was the norm for all
Christian behaviour. In Rom 13:9-10, he stresses
that love does no wrong to a neighbour; love
enables people to benefit themselves.
Furthermore, ?You shall love your neighbour as
yourself? is the essence of the commandment. A
famous quote of the founder of the Methodist
Church, John Wesley, says: ?Do all the good you
can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you
can, in all the places you can, at all the times you
can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you
can.? It is my hope that our Methodist Church will
live out the love of God and be concerned with our
neighbours in our community.
5. A Church That Act ively Involves in Global
Missions
Christians should not only care about, and
participate in, the ministries of their own churches,
but God also wants us to spread the salvation of
His love for the world to the ends of the earth.
Jesus, before he was taken up into heaven, had
promised that his disciples would receive power
when the Holy Spirit came upon them, and also
told them, ?You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem
and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the
earth.? (Acts 1:8). God?s wish is that all nations and
all people in the world will share in His kingdom.
Facing such a large field of harvest, how can we sit
still and ignore it? Beside sending out a few
short-term mission teams overseas, it is my hope
that we have our own missionaries from our
Methodist Church to serve in overseas missions.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I hope that the pastors as well as
brothers and sisters of CMCA are willing to rely on
God?s help and strength, strive to pursue unity in
the Lord, spend time to pray together in one spirit,
focus on nurturing disciples to produce godly
children, actively live out the love of God in the
community, as well as actively participate in the
work of global missions. Only when we are in the
Lord, then, we can bear more fruit for God, ?for
apart from me you can do nothing.?

Our New Bishop
"Before the election, I prayed to God:
?If you, God, would like to use me in this role, I will submit to
Your will, though I know it is not an easy task.?
After the election I asked for His grace, wisdom and strength
to empower me to lead as the episcopal head of CMCA."
- Bishop Albert Wong

J
ust like that, the
Almighty God puts in
place his servant, Rev.
Dr. Albert (Ing Seng)
Wong, as the fourth
Bishop of the Chinese Methodist
Church in Australia. Praise be to
God for his gracious providence
of leadership for the next 4
years!
And it gets even better! The
newly elected Bishop started his
brief acceptance speech in
English! (Not a few ears perked
up in pleasant surprise, as
people who know Bishop Wong
know that Mandarin is his
primary language).
In his own words, Bishop Wong
humbly shared what?s in his
heart:
?Though I am not fluent in
English, I tried to open my
acceptance speech in English to
give myself a breakthrough in
the hope of connecting with the
English-speaking pastors and
church leaders.?
Obviously, this is not about
diminishing the Mandarin
speaking group by any means.
Rather, it?s an indication that the
Bishop is willing to go beyond
his ?comfort zone? in his
episcopal role. Thank you, Lord,
for the refreshing breath of
fresh air.
This is a long time in coming, as
God has prepared and shaped
Bishop Wong over the course of
his life, including 23 years in
ministry. Hailing from Sibu
(Malaysia), Bishop studied
From L to R: Angie, Bishop, Esther
Chemical Engineering in the
University of Malaya in the early
80?s. After working 3 years in
Brunei, Bishop gave it all up to
prepare himself for full-time
ministry by enrolling at China
Evangelical Seminary, Taipei.
Bishop Wong began his pastoral
ministry in 1991 at Goodwood
Methodist Church, Adelaide
(incidentally, it was also at
Goodwood that Bishop
was consecrated,
followed by his very
first sermon as Bishop
a week later).
However, the next
year, Bishop was called
back to Miri (Malaysia)
because of the needs
of his grandparents
(who brought him up).
Yet, he didn?t turn his
back on God?s calling,
for in the next 6 years,
he pastored at Miri Gospel
Chapel, where his duties also
included taking charge of
Short-term Mission Training
Centre and Night Bible Classes
there. The Centre had 15
trainees undergoing equipping
through an intensive regiment of
Bible studies and carrying out
ministries like street evangelism,
home visitation, disciple-making
and secondary school student
ministry.
After Miri came 4 years of
further equipping as Bishop
earned Master of Theology
(Biola, USA) and Doctor of
Ministry (Logos Evangelical
Seminary, USA). In 2002, Bishop
returned to CMCA itinerant
ministry pastoring
Carlton, Camberwell
and Monash
churches. Since
then, in addition
to his pastoral
duties, he?s served
in diverse
roles as District
Superintendent,
LAMM Principal,
and various Boards
of Annual
Conference.
Family-wise, Bishop & wife,
Esther, met each other through
a combined MYF gathering (woohoo
MYF!), and they have been
married since 1985. Among
Esther?s virtues, Bishop
especially appreciates her
commitment to serve God
wholeheartedly, and placing her
family above herself. ?Those,
Bishop during adult baptism
plus her great cooking. Who can
ask for more??, Bishop muses.
Bishop & Esther have a
daughter, Angie, who?s
under-going nursing internship
and looking for a nursing job.
?Angie is caring and loving. She
[also] serves in the worship
team? ? Ahhh... words of proud
parents.

Church Praise Ministry

" As a r esult [of the chur ch pr aise ministr y], people fr om

together to sing God?s pr aises. "
- Bob Organ
T
he Praise Group at CMCA Sherwood
was formed several years ago when a
concerned couple in the fellowship had
a desire to provide more involvement
within the fellowship because in today's
society there are so many non-Christian activities
competing to capture our time, hearts and minds.
The fortnightly informal meetings proved very
popular as members from all ages came together
to praise our Lord.
The group
included very
capable singers as
well as those of us
who love to praise
? not always in
tune, but
following
Scriptures?edict to
?make a joyful
noise.? It provides
a casual
opportunity for
members to open
up to each other
and share our
Lorem
daily lives. These
meetings were initially held in the fellowship hall
but are now held every second Friday night in a
church member?s home.
During the second year of the meetings, a brother
was hospitalised with a very serious condition
which required an extended stay. As Christmas
approached, the founding couple realised that our
brother was missing fellowship, so some members
of the group began visiting and singing with him
and his family members, with music being
supplied by one of the group?s founders.
Very soon, other inpatients were invited to join
with this brother and his family to sing carols when
he was well enough to leave his room for a lounge
area. Out of this simple sharing of carols, a
ministry of regular praising in the hospital began.
Further longer periods in recuperation facilities
were required for the healing process of this
brother. Other patients were always asked to join
in the praise sessions. As a result, people from
different denominations as well as non-Christians
joined together to sing God?s praises. Some of the
residents were starving for Christian fellowship
and wanted more visits by the praise team. Some
inpatients even led the singing with their beautiful
voices. In one facility, staff members sometimes
joined for brief periods as their duties allowed.
Another brother was also hospitalised with a
condition that required a very long stay. So, praise
sessions were organised for him at his hospital
too. When he eventually moved into a long-term
care facility, the praise group continued to praise
with him and his fellow residents. These visits are
still continuing.
After a while, the hospital-visiting group settled
into being mainly older Christians. During the
visits, members of other fellowships and
denominations occasionally joined with CMCA
Sherwood to praise in the care facilities. However,
during 2018, many youths swelled the groups
numbers, revitalising the praise sessions with their
enthusiasm, instrument skills, and beautiful voices.
The group now ranges from mid-teens to
octogenarians with everyone being blessed by the
opportunity to bring God?s love to the care facility
through praise.
2018 culminated with a carol singing event on the
last Sunday before Christmas day, with the facility
management giving permission for the use of a
large common area that saw more residents of the
care facility able to join in with nearly 30 members
from CMCA Sherwood singing many of the joyful
carols not only known and loved by Christians in
the care facility, but even known by those who had
no faith. It was so encouraging to see the frowns
on some patients?faces turn to beautiful smiles as
they sang carols and opened up to chat with
church members.
Hospital visits are now held the first Sunday of
each month.

"One day, he will

the light of Jesus or

- Lucas Sharley
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consetetur sadipscing elitr.
Can we actually know what God is like?
In my church, we have a special reading about knowing
God. It?s a set of verses that describe what God is like:
God is light, God is love, God is power. But, words
without understanding are just sounds. The reading
only means something to us if it is connected to ideas about God. In
this article, I?ll be giving summaries of what the words from the
reading say about God; beginning with light.
1 John 1:5 ? ?God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.?
What does John mean when he says God is light?
Images are useful for talking about God. They avoid narrow
meanings. John could have written, ?God is entirely good and is
never influenced by evil.? That sentence is precise. It can only mean
one thing. But, the image of light means many things. Goodness,
purity, sight, understanding, safety, and judgment. John?s use of
imagery lets him say a lot in a short letter.
If images mean many things all at once, how do we know which?
What stops us from twisting an image or taking it the wrong way?
The rest of the Bible stops us. We read every part of the Bible with
the rest of the Bible in the background. John describing God as light
isn?t a phrase sitting alone that we can capture and turn to our own
purposes. It is plugged into how the Bible uses the idea of light
everywhere else. I listed several meanings for God is light, and all of
them come from the Bible.
Genesis 1, for example. The first thing God says is ?Let there be
light,? and there is light. God sees that the light is good and
separates it from the darkness. Genesis teaches that light comes
from God, and it is good, and it is divided from darkness. Light and

BIBLE & THEOLOGY
God is Light
"Let there be light!" - Genesis 1:3
darkness are used as symbols for good and evil all
through the Bible. When John says God is light, he
means God is good.
Or have a look at John 1:9. ?The true light, which
enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.? If
you read the chapter, you see that the true light is
Jesus, and it?s associated with entering the world
and giving light to everyone. Light spreads light.
That is its nature. Jesus spreads light in a world
that needs it ? a world of darkness. ?God is light
and in him there is no darkness? teaches us that
God has sent his light into the world. And we need
it. Unlike God, there is plenty of darkness in us.
But, light isn?t always a happy thing. Jesus uses it in
Luke 8:17 to describe God?s knowledge. God is light
because nothing is hidden from him. He does not
have the darkness of ignorance or forgetting.
Repeating that ?God is light? reminds us that God
knows all of us; actions, words, thoughts, and
feelings. We may forget all the little bad things
we?ve done, but God won?t. One day he will drag us
into the light, crack open our hearts like an egg,
and find either the light of Jesus or more darkness.
God is light. He is goodness, and radiance, and
knowledge. And so much more.

PRACTICAL THEOLOGY
A New Year.
A New You.
I
t is now the second
month of the year; I
believe it?s a fitting time
for us to pause and
reflect on how we?ve
been keeping up with our ?new
year?s resolutions.? Are you still
on track or have you given up
hope? Perhaps, you have never
believed in making new year
resolutions. Well? you?re not
alone.
In 2018, a survey that was
conducted in America found that
the three most common
resolutions made were:
1. to eat healthier;
2. to exercise more;
3. to save more.
Sounds familiar? A third of the
participants responded that they
had not bothered making any
resolutions at all ? probably the
more realistic option, given that
statistically, 88% ended up failing
miserably!
All of us desire to better
ourselves, don?t we? That?s why
new year resolutions are such a
big hit. A new year symbolises a
new beginning. We approach
each year with a steely
determination to make the year
count. However, when December
greets us, we find ourselves
disappointed once again at our
progress.
So, why are we so enthusiastic
about making resolutions yet
"But, her e's the r eality: simply
telling our selves to have mor e
per sever ance isn't going to cut
it.

struggle to keep up with it?
Numerous studies have
investigated this phenomenon
and, not surprisingly, it often
boils down to the lack of
perseverance. But, here?s the
reality: simply telling ourselves
to have more perseverance isn?t
going to cut it. We need a
paradigm shift, hence the title ?
?A New Year. A New You.?
We?ve heard it said that ?life is a
marathon, not a sprint.? We
frequently treat resolutions as a
sprint. Thus, it?s not surprising
that we get exhausted halfway
through, especially when ?life?
takes over. So, how can we set
ourselves up for victory and not
failure?
I?d like to propose three simple
steps that would hopefully help
move us along.
1. Ask: ?Why??
We may have great goals, but
unless we have the conviction to
do something differently and
understand why we need to
change, we are likely to fall back
into old habits. Reflect by asking
yourself: Why is this goal
important to me? (and be
honest). Internalising the ?why?
can often help us to persevere
when we are tempted to give up.
2. Be account able.
An accountability partner plays a
crucial role in helping us move
forward when we are stumbling
along the way. They check in on
us, challenge us, support us and
strengthen us when life gets
tough. Being vulnerable and
transparent is never easy, but
the reward is priceless.
3. Invit e t he Holy Spirit t o
sanct ify us int o His likeness.
Goals are great, but it is easy to
miss the bigger picture. In the
midst of achieving our
well-intentioned goals, we often
neglect our own growth as a
person. Let?s come before God,
be it through prayers, fasting, or
simply waiting on the Lord, and
ask God to reveal to us areas in
our lives where we need a
desperate growth or a
makeover. Then, invite the Holy
Spirit to begin the beautiful
sanctification process in us so
that our heart?s condition
remains in check, and that we
may grow to become a more
accurate reflection of God?s love
to a broken world.
Let?s take on the remaining of
2019 with the confidence that as
we partner with God and
humbly yield to the Potter?s
hands, He will renew us from
the inside out day by day with
the promise of 2 Corinthians
5:17: ?Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, the new creation has
come: the old has gone, the new
is here.?
Happy New You!

Be honest, what impressions do you
have of us, Aboriginals?
That's what the young lady asked my
wife. My wife hesitated for a while...
She reluctantly replied that people had educated
her to have a very negative perception towards
Aboriginal people.
I came from Malaysia to Perth about 12 years ago,
and right from the beginning I?ve been warned as a
student against Aboriginal people. My University
was in a suburb reputed for its Aboriginal
population, and also for its high crime rate. You?d
hear first-hand stories of students?quarters being
broken into, with laptops, cameras, cash, and other
valuables stolen. The first suspects are usually the
Aborigines, and as an international student, I
avoided Aboriginals at all costs.
Continuing the story of my wife?s encounter, which
was in AIME - Australian Indigenous Mentoring
Experience, in her university, the young lady
shared that she?d never feel looked down upon
while growing up among her own people. Only
when she moved to a primary school of mixed
races, she started feeling it. The glares, the gossips,
the mockery, the bullying. That was the first time
she started feeling ashamed of her identity.
From my experience, people ? especially
immigrants ? continue to regard the Australian
Aboriginal people as a less-than-desirable bunch.
Drug and alcohol addicts, dirty, smelly, rude,
loud? they have many labels, but these seldom
find their way into our everyday conversation,
because these labels are racist. So, we ignore, look
away, or worse, pretend they don?t exist. And so
often our perspectives can influence other people?s
perception as well, and this perpetuates the
marginalization of the Aborigines.
One of the invited speakers I was privileged to
hear recently was a young lady named Brooke
Prentis (you can google her). Brooke Prentis is
from the Waka Waka people in Queensland and is
a pastor, activist of indigenous rights, and
spokesperson for the justice team in Common
Grace, her organization. She has fought in law
courts against the discrimination so often suffered
by her people, e.g. when an innocent Indigenous
teenager faces prejudice, or is given an unfairly
severe prosecution.
Brooke appeals to the Christian community to
initiate Reconciliation between Indigenous and
non-Indigenous Australians by forming
friendships. 90% of Australians do not know an
Indigenous Australian. And reconciliation cannot
happen unless we become friends. Friends share
joy and sorrow, listen when you?re angry, share
laughter, and have fun together.
The Bible has a lot to say about friendship. ?Two
are better than one? (Eccl 4:9-10), ?a friend loves at

all times? (Pro 17:17), ?greater
love has no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his
friends? (Jn 15:13).
Despite the horrendous things
that have been done to them, the
Aboriginals have already forgiven
because they cannot continue to
live in Australia if they have not.
They are not looking for
solutions. They are looking for
love, and we who are called
children of God are peacemakers
(Matt 5:9). Let?s make peace and
birth this friendship; the
friendship that is meant to exist
in the church, full of brothers and
sisters whom we love, where we
lay down our lives for each other.
Below are some small actionable
steps that we can take to reflect
God?s love in our relationships
with the Aboriginal people:
- ?Like? the Common Grace
page on Facebook and be
informed of God?s work
among that people.
- See Aboriginal people as
God?s beloved children, just
like us.
- Pray: Ask God to bring an
Aboriginal friend into your
life, so that we can show them
the love of God and build
mutual understanding.
