NO FOCUS - NO HEAT
• magnifying glass needs to be just the right distance
• many options for LWCF’s future endeavours
OUR APPROACH: HUMBLE SERVANTS, RELYING ON GOD’S POWER
• beware dressing up / denaturing gospel message
• Paul came with weakness, trembling, humility,
servanthood
• Bieber more criticized the higher he rises from
grass-roots
• Paul’s ministry exhibited God’s power through
miracles
PRESENT CHRIST CRUCIFIED
• Jesus dying for sinners / rising - central message
of gospel
• Christ on cross seems Someone sinners can reach out
to - knows our every weakness
• evangelism not about ‘having it all together’ in
our life
PROMISE OF GLORY - NOW, NOT JUST LATER
• God destined His ‘secret wisdom’ for OUR glory
• ‘what God has prepared for those who love Him’:
present, not just future heaven
PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT’S UNVEILING
• cross-message ‘foolish’ to natural people: need God
to take away the veil
PROBE AND PROVE CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES
• study to understand what God has freely given us,
become mature, able to discern
• renewed mind through Scripture empowers us to do
God’s will not world’s pattern
• euthanasia can be attractive without God in equation
• church in India beaten like suffering Jesus; take
discipline seriously; honoured, sought for prayer
