Our Bible study this morning was on Revelation 6: 9-17 - The Promise of Vindication. The Lamb breaks the next two seals - fifth and sixth as God's judgement is being poured out into the world. Witnesses now include the martyrs. Loyalty to Christ is always costly and some have to pay with their lives. It happens today. They cry out to God and ask, "How long?" God is patient. His timing is perfect. God again shows His faithfulness to those who have been faithful to Him, as He finally avenges those who are just, who have suffered for God. God wants us to be patient, to wait and trust Him for His timing.
We who have accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour, love and serve Him have this hope in us. He is our hope even when the foundations of the universe are collapsing around us. Our hope is in Christ. "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness"
After the usual Bible class from 9.30 - 10.30 a.m. we left for Central Corps. Today, being 10th October 2010 or 10-10-10, the meeting started at 10.00 a.m. We arrived just after 11.15 a.m.in the middle of a film show. This was followed by a talk on the Alpha Course.
It was a good meeting. Captain Lim Chee Kwee spoke on "God's Gift of Time" based on Psalm 90. It was a timely reminder to the congregation of the importance of making used of the precious gift of time that God has given to us.
We went to the meeting at the invitation of Brothers Vincent Wong and Patrick Foo. The members of Men's and Women's ministry, plus the youth worked hard together to raise funds for their Youth Camp at the end of the year. We have a stake in this in that we have three grandchildren among the youth of the Corps. Central is my wife's home Corps.
We had a lovely lunch. The fellowship was great and we enjoyed every moment of it. We were glad we went. We have many good friends at Central Corps and it was such a joy to see them again. We look forward to our next visit to conduct their Altar Service on 7th November.
God bless Central Corps.
