A New Dawn!

I'm feeling a sense of great joy, hope, and liberty! Finally FCC is on course to recovery and reconciliation. The past few months, perhaps even the past year or so has seen much discord and strife among members of FCC. It came to such an ugly state that members were hurtling accusations at one another and backstabbing each other. The church was splitting, from the leadership right down to the members. The situation was so ugly I believe i don't have to deliberate on it once more.We all know how bad it was.

I don't know bout you guys but i feel so relieved after hearing the results of the two elections.Firstly, Pastor Geoffrey was voted in by a super strong majority(can say 90% strong)!! That alone is miraculous, considering all the negative rumors spreading around like wildfire plus all the spoilt votes.

It reminded me of the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mt Carmel. Elijah had all the disadvantages on his side, ie: he had water poured over the sacrifice and the wood not once, not twice, but 3 times!! And yet, God showed Himself in such a convincing manner that His fire consumed the sacrifice and even licked clean the water too! All the hardship and opposition we've been going through reminded me of that story. It looked like we were fighting a losing battle and that all the odds were against the truth but God prevailed in the end! I learnt that the battle is the Lord's and we just have to trust Him fully without wavering or interfering with our human works ! Considering all the odds, a huge sweep in favor of our new Pastor is indeed a sign that God has ordained him.

Secondly was the election for the new Church Board.That is also a miracle.Our God is so gracious that He put only those whom He knows can work hand in hand with our new Pastor. We have a good new Board.

Now is just the beginning of many more great things to come. FCC has just only begun her process of reconciliation and healing. We have a long but promising road ahead of us so lets continue to be an encouragement to one another and stay strong in the bond of love for perfect love casts out ALL fear. Let us all move forward together starting from now.

Indeed, we all can be a Family Church once again!

I also really thank God for our Subang Cell and how close knitted we are! You all are(present continous tense) really an encouragement and a God-send to me! You all are true friends and brothers and sisters in Christ! I love you all and appreciate you all alot!! =)

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus

Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
