Breakthrough Begins Today

Today service begins with an anticipation. Its the last sermon on Values Driven Life and we were told that the church would be embarking on a 20-something months campaign called "Breakthrough" until April 2007!

When Jon first knew about this (few weeks back), "Oh man!" Jon simply was caught in awe. This campaign is indeed a breakthrough itself as Jon has never heard something like that before?! Questions started to flood into Jon's mind as follows:

1. Will there be enough relevant scriptures for the pastors to use for their Sunday sermons until 2007?

2. Will this restrict the church from been "flexible" if they fix on one topic for the next 20-somthing months?

3. Will there be enough "breakthrough" testimonies to share from the members? As Jon feels that "breakthrough" testimonies shouldn't be normal testimonies that we hear week in week out... you know what Jon means?

4. What must Jon do to make sure he is on track to witness and tag along with the "breakthroughs" that God has installed for us?

FIRST BREAKTHROUGH from Hope

Today Jon witnessed the first breakthrough from God: Pastor Ben created a personal blog as a means to "communicate" with the cyber world!!! This is something Jon has never imagined! A lot of people would definitely be thrilled to hear this. "Internet Fellowship" would be interesting as none of us have ever experience it before... What Jon means is this, "Which pastor did that before?!" So thumps up to Pastor Ben from Hope Singapore!

Now that the bloggersphere is heating up over the NKF-SPH saga, this piece of news would certainly caused some ripples among the "already" bloggers from Hope Singapore! Mind you, there are more than 2000 members in church, so there will certainly be quite a number out there, especially the tertiary lads, who will be eager to find out from Pastor Ben's blog @ benkclee.blogspot.com. Imagine this, Pastor Ben's blog became the top 10 blogs in Singapore? SEA? Asia? World? Would we caused a trend across all Christian communities to follow suit? Start to imagine that... ;p

Next, Jon begins to worry too for some "Hope" bloggers. Would bloggers want to get involve in Pastor Ben's blog? If we do, most church people would be able to asses each other's blog as well... So what does that mean to bloggers who want to keep things personal? Jon knew some bloggers who use blogging as a means to "voice out" or "vent" their "earthly" comments and frustrations into the cyber "space" so that we do not "corrupt" or "influence" the people around, especially spiritually not stable ones... Like Jon, its a way he could leave his deep honest comments he feel would otherwise not be accepted by people in this all too common world. In short, its a way some of us balance our lives as we continue to practise the Fruit of Spirit in real life and surpress our deep devilish self in the cyber world...

Anyway whatever the issue next, we can only anticipate. Why not just embrace this opportunity to see how this breakthrough leads us to. FYI, Jon has just commented in Pastor Ben's blog, so he is expecting some "peepers" real soon. Hi there mates! May God blesses us all. And stay cool, God has His ways.

Amen.
