At last! :)

Love YOUR Lord. Love means that we obey God, submit to authority, care for one another, without dissimulation, without a contentious spirit, always willing, always with the right heart and motives. “Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:” 1 Timothy 1:5 “… what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,” Deut 10:12b

Equipping the Saints. The things of the world pass away, but the wisdom of God is the only thing of worth. We remember the early Christian martyrs who died for the cause of the Gospel. May we too have the fervency and commitment, that we may be in our own little way the light and salt of the earth that we can disciple others also through our words, our teaching and leadership and through our lives. “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2

Woohoo! Praise and thank God for all the students who have finished their exams and assignments! Well, as the last instalment of this "series", I'd like to say a big thank you to the Committee Members, all the Bible Study leaders and every YAFer for the year that has gone by. :) As we learnt from the book of Joshua and also the QNS videos, I pray that we can recall and bring to mind the lessons we have been taught by the Lord, more importantly that we apply them into our daily lives as we walk on this earth, but live for heaven. That the Lord will truly be able to say to us, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Matthew 25:21 With everything we have heard over the year, may we also be able to share the lessons with others so that they too would be blessed. Remember, we are called not only to be disciples, but to also disciple.

Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?

Part 3! :)

Incline Your Heart Oftentimes as disciples of Christ we face many trials and tribulations, and we truly feel blessed by the support and prayers of our fellow believers. Likewise, when we see others in need, we need to give our utmost for their sake. “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:22 Simply put, “Let brotherly love continue.” Hebrews 13:1

Preaching the Gospel. The Great Commission is given to all disciples of Christ, it sends us out into the world to tell of Christ. There is never a “right” time or a “wrong” time, only that we should “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 2:4 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:19-20

YAFers, for the students, exams and assignments are rolling by or have rolled by, now as we spend time during our holidays, and especially as the year draws to an end, let us take some time to reflect on our lives. Have we been kind, loving and caring towards our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Have we been fervent in our service towards God in sharing the Gospel? What have we done for Christ that He would be pleased with? Even as we study hard in university, or work hard at our jobs, and just go about our daily lives, let us remember this simple but important lesson,

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31
