Gospel Mission at Changi General Hospital
Mrs. Jacqueline Tang, a new believer, came to worship with us last Lord’s Day. She requested that we visit her husband to share the gospel with him. Together with Richard and Pauline, we made our way to the Changi General Hospital.
Exodus 33:1-11 (KJV)
1. And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
2. And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3. Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
“Envy” according the Webster’s dictionary is a feeling of discontent at the sight of superior excellence, reputation or happiness enjoyed by another. It describes one who complains discontentedly or murmurs at another’s prosperity. It is to fret or grieve at the real or supposed superiority of another, and hence to hate the person on that account. The Bible tells us that the character of Christian love dispels the entanglement of “envy” and exhibits a calm contentment of the heart at the supposed inequalities of life.
Exodus 32:1-6 (KJV)
1. And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2. And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3. And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Matthew 4:1-11 (KJV)
1. Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
We are thankful to God for bringing Rev. Dr. Tow Siang Hwa, our pastoral advisor, to minister God’s Word to us and to conduct the Lord’s Supper last Lord’s Day. He spoke from Psalm 139 on how we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, debunking the theory of evolution. We are thankful to God for His truth faithfully expounded from the King James Bible. It was indeed a happy occasion when we took a group photograph to remember this day.
