Mrs. Lim Li-ching has been a great help to me in leading the Adult Bible class. When we are away she always takes the class. I let her choose her own subject. She has been doing parables in the New Testament and now she is going through a series of parables of the Old Testament.
Last Sunday when we were away at Central Corps, she did Nathan's parable of the ewe lamb. This story was intended as a scorching condemnation of King David who had committed the sin of adultery with Bathsheba.
Today she did the parable of the Two Sons as recorded in 2 Samuel 14: 1-24. It was not an easy lesson to teach, but she skilfully presented it to the group. This led to a lot of discussion which profited all us who were present. Our only regret - the one hour was not sufficient, but we had to leave the hall to the young people for Sunday School.
In the absence of Major Ruth Pascoe my wife and I conducted the Holiness meeting.She will be back next week. We always count it a privilege to be able to contribute our share to the Corps (church.)
It's always a joy to spend time at the church on Sunday. We thank God we have this freedom of worship.
"Worship reminds us of whom we are and whom we serve. In worship we refer our lives to God. Worship reminds us that God's thoughts and ways are not ours. It does not take God for granted, but draws us to Him with a sort of humble confidence. It is a confrontation with God apart from which we are not truly able to confront the world."
