I have so much in my head, so many things I'm not certain of. I want to share them all, but it's so much to handle for one brain. Today we were doing consolidation at Ang Moh Kio. It's a time where we reflect on the message and what we learnt during Monday's message. And through out the whole thing, many things struck me, but two things I think I should share. First is, that sharing the gospel is not a light issue. We are warned in Revelations not to dilute the gospel in anyway, and anyone who edits it in anyway will be severely punished. This got me thinking. How am I certain that the gospel I am sharing is the whole gospel, and nothing but the gospel? How can I be certain that if I share the gospel with Kevin today, that those very same words I used to share the gospel will be the exact same words I use to share the gospel with Tom 2 weeks later?? Because, if it's not exactly the same, I would have diluted it in a way already would I have not?
And second. What is our calling? We always want to know God's calling in our lives, and we know that He speak through the Bible, and all we need to do is read. But how do we know when we are being called? How do we know that we are not imagining it? We won't receive dramatic callings like Samuel or Moses did, but a calling is a calling nonetheless. Are you certain that what you are doing is God's calling in your life? How do we know when we are being called? Is it just a feeling? I got a feeling that it was going to rain today. I felt like eating at SumoHouse today. I feel like banking is not the way to go.
Today was round two of contact work at Bedok Interchange. I got another 20 contacts again, but this time I felt like I managed to connect with more of them, and it felt easier. I got 20 contacts in about 1 and a half hours, versus the 3 hours I took the day before. It felt easier as well. Maybe I've gotten the hang of it. But tomorrow and the days to follow will be mostly street evangelism. A new challenge. Am I up to it? Only time will tell.
