Pastor Albert's Quotations
If we were to wait until all our needs are met then we will give to the Lord, then we will never give anything at all. (AK)

God's
dream for your life may be given in the night but it is in the day that
His dream becomes a reality as you pursue it with conviction, patience
and diligence. (AK)

Yesterday, I did a comparison between Jesus and Herod in my Christmas
sermon. The one important thing that I learn for myself while preparing
the message is that all of us are affected either by King Jesus (Spirit)
or King Herod (Flesh). We have to allow Jesus to be King in all aspects
of our life or He is not King at all. If we are not careful, we will
give the opportunity for the 'Herod' within us to overshadow and
ultimately remove Christ from our life.
-----------------------------------------------
Instead of celebrating our difference and uniqueness, we choose to see
all these as barriers and reasons for hatred. Did God make everybody the
same? We must remember that we were once unbelievers and how God,
through His love, grace, mercy and full
acceptance, brought us salvation. We were never rejected just because we
were unbelievers. The enlightened people of God shared their love with
us. We then become people who do not only experienced God's love but
also shine forth His love to mankind. Therefore, showing the way of love
begins with us, the Disciples of Christ.

Indeed, we can find many ways
to enter into conflict because we are all different. The short people
against the tall people; dark against fair, Chinese against Indians,
Indians against Malays, fat against slim, Southern dialects against
Northern dialects, Hokkien against Cantonese and even the bigger heads
against the smaller heads etc
