Be warned, false teachers are on the rise. For this, may we be reminded that these is the last days. Today I had my Quiet Time on 1John4:1-6.
1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
4You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
See, in verse 1, it says does not means that every person who claim to know Christ, and what he teach will be right. You need to test the spirit. One thing most probably you need to take note is that if he claims to know Christ, but yet his walk caused you to douubt, you need to test him out, whether if he says presenting you with another gospel. -6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. Gal 1:6-7- I wonder, does this two verse sounds alien to you? Well I think for me, it really sounds. Allow me to explain, this wisdom from above that God revealed to me! OKay, so I was thinking of this gospel that Paul mentioned, but yet says it's not gospel at all. Then I'm thinking, why is this so. Firstly, what's the meaning of gospel? Simply, it is the word, that brings people to salvation, to save people from their distress. And there's only one gospel that esixts- the gospel of Salvaion, Jesus' death, which we learned in Christocentric camp. This 'gospel' is not called a gospel because it can't save people from their distress at all. And it says that this gospel turned people away, in this case, this is a 'gospel' who the Galations think it is a gospel that can save people. But for actual fact, the bible says, it is not, and it turns people away from the true and only gospel. Wow, what great insights! OKay, I enjoyed my Quiet Time today! (:

Wrote A day out with her. at
9:38 PM
Afternoon at around 1 plus, went to meet Suz at Clementi and eat Lor Mee. After that she accompany me till around 3. Then I took train to Paya Lebar and meet Elaine Teo Yee Ling. Then we realised we took the same train. haha. Then we buy some bread, and we took a bus down to Parkway Parade and walk to East Coast Park. Our plan was to suntan while have a good solid reading. Then guess what? It started to drizzle when we finish munching on our breads. Then we went to the shelter. And it starting to pour. Shats! argh. Then end up, we chit chat. It was like so COLD! haha. We talked loads of stuffs, as usual. Partly nonsense. But some is substances-contained. eg, really thank God for that little sharing from Matthew 24. On saying those who stands to the end will be saved. And many people are distracted from all kinds of things this day. But they forgot the second of coming is so near. Really near. But what they cares about is what are the 'winds in their life' they can chase after.
Wow really thank God for this sudden reminder which I conveniently slip it off my mind. haha. After that, when the rain is a bit smaller, we walk towards the underpass planning to go Parkway. Then it started to pour again. Gosh. So we had some fun at the underpass taking many many weird but NICE photos.haha. Then we ran to a block nearby to seek shelter. We stopped, then ran, stopped then ran. So Elaine was like saying, why don't we just run across? haha. Then we settle down at the market and had our dinner. So I bought Yong Tau Foo. But their 'Foo' is spelled as 'Hoo', then I asked elaine how to spell the 'Foo' so she spelled. Then I tell her about the 'Hoo'. Then she says it should be spell as 'Yong Lau Hoo' (lau hoo means tiger in chinese). LOL! She's super funny! And FUN! Then we took a walk at Parkway, more fun, more jokes and more enjoyable! haha.

Hi, thank you for visiting this humble space of mine. I don't blog as often as I used to because I no longer find any value in blogging daily affairs, although reminiscing the past is important because it's the past that made who I am today. But I will make use of other platforms. I would pop by here if I find any thought-provoking matters or current affairs that are worthy for me to pen my thoughts.
