My Commitment. My Stand! God's Way, Not Man's!

Its been a while now since I last blogged. But, thanks be to the Lord for a few godly encouragements from my awesome life group members and the launching of the J4 blog, which prompted me to publish this post of which the topic I hold a firm stand. It is none other than, the controversial, exciting and hair raising topic of: Relationships and Dating.

Now, I personally know that I am not ready for a serious relationship at all. Yes, being 18 and being around a culture that promotes and encourages dating as a norm, it can be very tempting to just go along with the flow and be accepted by fellow peers. But hey, who ever said making a stand was easy? Especially a stand for God? Jesus was crucified, Peter was crucified upside down, the apostle Paul was beheaded, and a whole list of godly men were stoned, flogged and persecuted just because they made a stand. Furthermore, Matt 5:13 calls us to be salt and light, to be set apart, and Romans 12:2 tells us not to be conformed to the patterns of this world.

But first, let me show you what the world has done to the image of love, relationships and dating. It has done nothing but present a perverted version of what was once an amazing gift from God. Gone were they days of commitment, gone were the days of virtue and out the window goes godliness. Now, what we have is the self-centered, short-termed and immoral practice of "Recreational Dating", which is dating where both individuals have no interest of commitment or marriage and it is just solely to satisfy fleshly pleasures. Boys now think they can be a man and play the games of REAL MEN while not assuming responsibility of it! All they want now is the kiss kiss touch touch urge to merge nonsense......

Here are the few reasons why I choose to stay clear from relationship for now:

1. I am not physically, mentally, financially and most importantly spiritually capable of leading another. I believe intimacy comes at the cost of commitment and if I am not ready to commit myself to that relationship, then I have no right to be even thinking of another. Come on, I'm only 18, there is so much more I have to learn from the Lord and grow in maturity in Him.
2. I do not want to allow myself to easily fall into sexual sin and desires of the flesh for youthful lust is so dangerous. We could so easily commit adultery at any point! When I say adultery, I'm referring to the Matt 5:28 definition which states whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Let us compare two verses, Eph 6:11 which says we may take our stand against the devil and 1Cor 6;18 which says flee from sexual immorality. See that how much more dangerous sexual immorality and lust is? Even when the devil comes, we stand and he flees. But when it comes to sexual immorality, we are told to flee! Let us do our best to achieve:
3. Marriage is sacred! It is so sacred that God uses marriage to symbolize the uniting of His son and His church. The bible calls the church the bride of Christ (Rev 21:2). If God has described it to be such a sacred occasion, let us not rush into a relationship, but seek God always for preparation.
4. Eph 5:25 says: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. How far did Christ go for His church? All the way to the point of death. This means if I were to get into a relationship, and if I want to be Christlike in it, I must be able to lay down my life for my spouse, to stand at the door to protect her from whatever that comes!
5. Matthew 6:33 encourages us that if we seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, all these things shall be added unto us. I'm sure when God said "ALL THESE THINGS", I'm sure that includes a perfect spouse made just for each and every one of us individually. After all, if marriage is so sacred, a spouse would probably be one of God's top priorities in a list of things to give us. So let us stop worrying and seeking and thinking we know best and try to play God, but rather, trust and obey!
6. Why bother spending so much time, effort, and money, calling and texting someone to share your problems with, hoping they can help just because they are you boy/girl friend, where we have an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient prayer-answering God whos promises will endure! Why not turn to Him and lean on Him, and He will make straight your path? (Prov 3:5)
7. What right do I have to waste my parent's hard earned money on another person's daughter? What right do I have to take another man's daughter/son? I mean, I would be pretty pissed off if someone just came into my house without permission and took all my Gundam. I'm not saying I sexually made those Gundams, but still, they are something I treasure.

I know some of you are probably thinking 'Wow, Paul has officially gone crazy'. But we are talking about the standards of the Most High, the King of Kings, the Almighty, Sinless and Blameless, Pure Light and we can just go on and on. Therefore, this is not just what I am saying, this is what God commands us to keep. Your problem now will not be with men, but with God and His Word.

Finally, I CANNOT find in the Bible teachings that endorse the kind of recreational dating that the world practices today. It teaches us to date and dump based on compatibility and when something goes wrong, change the person you are "with". Imagine if God did that to us. We would have been "dumped" the first time we sin! Let us all pursue godliness in relationships together and be:

and women

Feed Your Raging Hormones!

Recently, BBC just had our semi-formal (why don't they just call it year 11 prom?), which is an event for you to invite a female partner, (seeing that everyone that attends Brisbane BOY'S College is a boy..) for a night of fun.

In other words, this is, for some deprived boys, their golden opportunity to feed their raging hormones, without having to lock themselves in a room late at night after their parents are asleep.

It was on the MiCat, a three storied boat. The boat was pretty awesome. The first floor they had a Dj and a dance floor, where, everyone was just dancing like crazy even if they had no idea what they were doing. 2nd floor was a photography floor and the thrid, an open area with seats.

My partner and I

The view

Tom, me and Alex

The bald fella in the middle is the sarge

The food on that night was horrible. Failed so badly. It was catering. They served four different dishes, one scoop each. They gave us like this "pop corn chicken" sized small box. Then there was 1 scoop of rice which was undercooked, 1 scoop of pathetic guai lou curry chicken (tasted sweet and sour. A mere insult to curry chicken), a scoop of dried up soy sause beef and a scoop of vegetable. With chopsticks. Lol. The amount of people who dint know how to use them provided me with some laughter.

After that we went to Alan's place for a post party. It was really nice. A few of us and our dates around a fire place.




The post ended around 3 but Corne and Chewy stayed on cause they were doing a 40 hour famine thing. Went over to sleep over and Dom's place with Andrew and Tom. His place was fun. pool table and all. Played fifa and all that too.

Overall a fun experience and good night. Now I only wonder if what would have happenned if I chosen the other choise, the Hotpot BBQ outreach event with my beloved cell group?.....

Semester Break! 3 weeks I wont rade for anything!

Memorable things that happened during my 3 weeks holiday back home:

1. Michael Jackson died. He probably earned more money within the 3 weeks after he died than the last 10 years of his life.
   
2. Christiano Ronaldo got sold. (Stupid arrogant traitor.)
3. Malaysian Education decided to switch back to teaching Maths and Science in BM. (Political?)
   
4. Bro volunteered in a vet.
5. Spent 7 hours with Clan mates in a Tbunz Cyber Cafe playing DotA.
6. Played Monopoly with Ex 5 Omega classmates
7. Ate Nandos 3 times.
8. Visited CFSMKSU. All the momories!
   
9. Visited MYF TMCPJ. Felt so at home!
10. Watched 2 T-formers2 and Ice Age 3 with ex-classmates.
11. Ate at Murni. GOOOOOOD!
12. Caught up with old friends.
13. Spent time with family and dog.
14. Cooked dinner for friends.
15. Bought GUNDAMS!

I'll just write on the ones that I took pictures from:

DOTA at Tbunz:
If you are looking for a way to waste the whole day away, look no further. Grab a cousin, and two friends whom you are absolutely sure you can trust in Dota, and find a cyber cafe. Sit there for the next 7 hours.
That was what I did on one of the days back in M'sia. My cousin Daniel, Eng Seng, Chin Nam and I wanted to play DotA so badly (well, the second part only me la) that we decided to be those crazy Korean/Chinese Gamers for 7 hours. From 2p.m. to 9p.m. But befiore that, we ate. Pan Mee.

Cousin Daniel

Eng Seng

Chin Nam

My disappointing food.

Eng Seng: Diu ni Nam Ks 我
Nam: How I know? I was just spinning.
Daniel: Yeeeees ah Nam Yeees ah?

Nam just got a DOUBLE KILL!
Seng just got a Triple Kill!
The Sentinel is OWNING!

Nam: Eh back back!. All red life adi.
Daniel: They all die already la.
Nam: Oh.

ROSHAN HAS JUST BEEN SLAIN BY THE SENTINEL
Paul has just accuired the Aegis of the Immortal

Paul: Here I come!..... DiAO! u all kill all adi!

Nam: 我想要 Heart. 我想要 Heart
Seng: 我要做蝴蝶! 我要做蝴蝶!

How to ambush in DotA:

1. Hide and put on excited ambush face(Nam). Notice how Eng Seng hides both his hero and himself under the table.

Then pop out when signal is given. The opponents will be scared and poop in their pants because they were not expecting a player to be hidden.

MONOPOLY!
My ex-secondary school mates and I decided 2 have dinner at Murni and it was good. Then instead of the usual Texas Hold'em Poker, we decided to play monopoly for a change.

Zee Hoe, P-ter, Geemee, Garee, Tee Wern and G Soon.

Siap la!

It was all good fun and laughter. I haven't played monopoly for years. Forgot like..everything. Everything was going well...until,

The cursed dagger came along. All who touches this dagger will go crazy. Except me, cuz I touched it enough. Yeeeeeess..My Precioussssssssssss.

Ji Soon was first.

Then he stabbed Twern with it.

Then Peter took it.
He became crazy too. Started making faces.
Then Zhi Hoe took it. Picture says it all. Jimmy and Gary soon followed.

Pork Bone Tea at Old Town.

Not the best Bah Kut Teh but the people I ate with made it special.

All in all, an excellent holiday. =) Enjoyed myself. Cant wait for the year end holiday. Really Thank God for amazing people in my life.

MY WATER BAPTISM!

Water Baptism - Many People Ask If It's Required for Salvation.....
I believe baptism isn't an act that gets us into heaven but it is faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord that offers that assurance. Baptism (by full immersion as taught in the Bible) is an act of obedience that should be an immediate part of our acceptance of the gift of grace offered by Jesus Christ.

True faith in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross for our sins is sufficient for salvation. Christ has already done everything. By definition, His grace doesn't require any additional "works" by us. That being said, Jesus Christ commands us to be baptized (Matthew 28:18-20), and therefore, all believers should be baptized.

According to the Bible, the symbolism of baptism declares that three things happen to believers who are baptized:

1. They die with Christ to their old self
2. They rise with Christ to become a new creature; and
   
3. They are incorporated in their new life with a living community which looks for the coming of the Lord (Romans 6:1-11).

"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age'" (Matthew 28:18-20).

On the 6 June 2009, 9:15 a.m. I had my baptism! My mum told me I got baptized when was little but knew close to nothing about it and the significance of it was lost to me. So I decided to get water again now it means so much more to me. I praised toe Lord for the opportunity. Furthermore, there was no 3 month membership/baptism and confirmation class. It was just a 6 week church membership class and a night class with my shepherd.

My beloved life-group was so sweet to turn up and witness it! I would not trade this for anything....
My loving mum and bro was there too. To make it more fun, its winter! And its 9a.m.! The water was FREEZING COLD! I could not even speak properly. LoL

Started off with Kelvin sharing from Acts 8:26-40 Then a prayer

Testing out the water.

It was frezzing cold

Waiting for Josh. More freezing to do.

Kelvin and Jason praying for me
The shivering prayer.
The submersion. Backwards.
TOWEL!
AAAAH COLD!
My bro, me and mum
J4 Guys+my bro
JUDAH 4!
Thank U all for coming. Really means a lot to me.

DOUBLE O RAISER!

Gundam OO season 2 just finished today and so far it is the best season of Gundam so far. To top it off, there is going to be a movie released by Sunrise in 2010. Cant think of a better way to celebrate the 30 years anniversary of Gundam!

Feeling so high after watching that last episode! Thus, I had to take pictures of my OO Gundam!

That is just the box of OO Gundam. As for the O raiser box, I left it back in Malaysia.

Big thanks goes to my beloved cousin Daniel for buying the O-raiser for me as a going away present. Yea..3 mths ago.Yea. Thats us trying to protect our food during chinese new year from his mum.

I thought I tried taking pictures of this one under a bright yellow light at night.

The legs are no doubt the most flexible as compared to all the previous Gundams thus far.

I shot it on my table without a stand

Rear View
If U are trying to figure out what my phone is, its a Sony E K618i
But don't look at the phone, look at the gundam!

The main features of OO Gundam are the twin drivers. After all, they did name the whole series GUNDAM Double O

The Gn-Sword 2. I still think the first Gn-sword is cooler. But OO has two Gn-Swords

It can be used as a sword or a gun

You can call this an upgraded and way improved version of Gundam Exia.

The Gn-Shield from Exia has also been upgraded to Gn-Shield 2.

It can be used as claws

It can be either connected or seperated.

When I first saw OO Gundam, I thought it was cool but I wondered why there was no big back packs like all Gundams. Then came,

The O-RAISER!

Its a plane that attaches to the back of OO

Close up

Rear View
Docking Mode.

Double O Raiser!
The sides are very very VERY flimsy.
Specially after u connect the sides of the O raiser to it.
Not a very solid product.
Thus I got tired of it falling off, I just stuck the plane on without removing the sides
The body itself is also very loosely attached.
See what I mean....

When the sides of the plane is attached, the sides become very heavy.
But, it still looks cool.
I'm sure they will make one in Master Grade
since this is such a popular high profile Gundam.
Just a matter of time.

DOW2!!!!

What have I been up to for the past two weeks? Well, killing Orcs, Eldar and Tyranids!
Finally la. The long wait is over! Dawn of War 2 was released and I managed to get my hands on it!

This game is very different from DOW1 in many many ways.
If you have been missing out, its time for you to get it! Even if you are not a Warhammer 40k fan, you will still like this game!

The game play is more on strategic placing of a few squads of men. Rather then the constant micro and running around of alot of men in DOW. The Storyline is quite short but good. Some missions repeat themselves. Its pretty much allows you to level up and get nice items

The skirmishes can be quite a pain. There is only one main building which produces all the units. Again this is trying to get the players to focus on unit placements rather than building stuff. But the main building takes forever to take down! Even if you park your entire army in front and fire, it will take you forever to bring it down.

This is really going to set the bar for starcraft 2 which never seems to come out!

If you play this long enough, you will want to be a space marine yourself. For the Emperor!

Mexican Night Outreach!!

Evangelism....one of my favorite topics and something I am still trying to improve.
Evangelism. The main Vision of Hope Brisbane Christian Church.(Fulfill the Great Commission)

And thus, J4 (The cell/Life group I'm in), having reaching out and evangelizing in mind, threw a party themed Mexican Night. I personally found it a very interesting and different way to reach out and touch lives for Christ. There was very little mention of Christianity, the main purpose was to build a solid friendship by going out of the way for them, and then only hit them with the message of the gospel of Christ.

Coming from a Methodist Church (I miss you all!) and a CF from SMKSU(I miss you all also!), I was tempted to share about Christ and Bible-bash them but decided to try this strategy which was new to me.

Praise and Thank the Lord that it went very well. Turn was was pretty good and there were no big problems. Had fun getting to know different people of different races that come from different country. Of course, I found it easier to connect to none other than, Malaysians! So nice to share so many topics in common.

Great time getting to know each other

I don't seem to remember the names.....

Mealtime
Josh
Cell Leaders Jason and Kelvin
The food. Well, the left overs. They ate so fast I could not take a picture in time
Danu and Nicole. Danu is from Msia! He lives in SS 14

Kelvin and his sister Rachel
I too invited two people from BBC. Alex from South Africa and David.
This Picture says I'm short!

Andrei from South Africa. He is so famous he has a fan

Flora on registration.
I salute her for not eating the whole night.
Amazing example of commitment.

Ready for games.

Game-master

Started off with a name-calling game

Charades
We played one name game and two action game
It was hilarious

All in all it was a terrific night of out reach. I am learning a lot about touching souls for Christ. Can't wait for the follow up next week. A day trip to Sunshine Coast

Dear Lord, Thank You for being my God

I want to start by saying:

GOD IS AWSOME

Once again, He has shown me that He is so real and has led me and will always be there for me.

I am settling down quite well though some areas could be better but still, Glory be to God. All that worry, anxiety and fear did not get the better of me. Aus has its pros and cons.

I am currently doing Yr 11 and then Yr 12 in 2010 which will lead to university after Yr 12. According to my age, I am supposed to be in Yr 12, which is what Aussies to when they are 18. But the things studied at years 11 and 12 are closely related and there is a thing called OP score(which is added together by the end of yr 12), not to mention a big test, they will not let me enter yr12 unless I do 11, thus putting me in my current situation, making me one year older than everyone in my year...

After three weeks of school, I am still finding my feet and trying my best to make as many friends in school as possible. It is hard, I find it hard to relate to these people of totally different culture and upbringing.

Something happened during lunch time that completely stunned me. It was lunch time and so I decided to sit down with someone. He had his lunch and I had mine. He opens his lunch box and realizes his mum packed perfectly good looking fish and chips and this is what he says:"Oh man....fish and chips again? That's all my mum knows! Ewwww the chips are soggy. I think wont be eating them today"

Then he proceeded to throw his whole lunch into the bin. I stared, stunned and three very unpleasant words came to mind. Then again I thought this is a Private school so....they probably have truckloads of fish and chips to throw away. I wanted to advise him also cannot because part of me was already pissed off at how he just wasted good fish and chips! But dammit, what a waste of food!

See what I mean by I cant relate to people like that?

Another incident was during Graphics class. I am completely new to this subject and to make matters worse, all the others had at least 3 years of Graphics education and interestingly enough, all the drawings were done on computer. We were using AutoCAD, something which I was new to. So The kid next to me had already finished his drawing, all done, nice and flashy. I was having a problem with how to draw this particular thing so I asked him how he did his. This is what he said:" I don't know...... Go ask the teacher", giving me that pathetic smile and tone.

WHAT THE HELL! WANT TO LIE AND BE SELFISH ALSO DO IT WITH SOME BRAINS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I guess this is how students in a private school behave huh? Just because they have lots of money, they think they are better than anyone, snobbish, prideful and arrogant. How am I going to mix with people like this...... This is going to be one interesting task. There is this Aus and Asian barrier there. But I know that with man, this is impossible but with God, all things are possible. So I will just surrender this unto the Lord to open ways.

Oh yea, many of them haven't got a clue where Malaysia is. They keep thinking I'm Korean for no reason. One of them though I was a Muslim when I said I'm Malaysian. Does Paul sound like a Muslim name? I was eating bacon sand-witch man.

Being a Christian college, naturally they would have Christian Fellowship. They call it ISCF(inter school christian fellowship)! Without thinking twice, I joined. Interesting how God can move people. One year ago I was standing in CFSMKSU and now I find myself in ISCF.

I was somewhat surprised at how different the two CFs are. The numbers are about the same. ISCF have their meetings during lunch time once a week, a small cell group meeting, a bible study meeting and a prayer meeting, each once a week. The guys in the CF seem like a nice bunch of boys. Different from all the other students. I would want to know them better.

Because this was a Christian based college, the ISCF is approved and support by the school and they won't have to face the threat of being shut down It is quite heavily dependant on teachers...... Which could be a good thing and a bad one. It is good because there are many experienced teachers teaching the right stuff. The down side is, the members might end up taking the CF for granted. We would have a different teacher speak to us or an invited speaker. We would also have events or socials as they call it, Once every three weeks. It is like an event where we meet up with CFs from other schools and have fun activites to bond and get to know other CFs.

Another thing that was surprising was that there was no praise and worship. Nor was there a worship team. How I miss Subang Utama CF. All the wonderful memorable times, the camps, the prayer meetings. Lol. (You wont appritiate something until you have lost it) ..... but non the less, this is where God has put me and there are many many things to be done and I will serve him in this CF he placed me in to the best way He wants me to.

In the area of spiritual growth, I am settling down well in a church. Hallelujah! Much better than I had expected. I am attending Hope Brisbane. Praise God for calling me there. It is a charismatic Church. My brother first introduced me to it years ago. I was kind of shocked, coming from an awsome Methodist Church. Many things were different in many ways. It is mainly comprised of university students and young working adults who come from overseas. Mostly Asians. Which brings the connection among members closers because we are all away from family and can now rely on each other as a family. I praise the Lord for bringing them into my life.

I feel the Lord slowly trying to reveal His plan to me right now as he is shaping my life. He never fails to amaze me to no end at how short termed and small we think but infact His plans for each one of us is HUGE beyond our comprehensions. For those who are going through a tough time, wondering where or what is God's plan and asking all the whys, know that the Lord wants to go with you through the fire, to build perseverence and that you will come forth as pure gold, fit for his Kingdom's work.
