Wishing everyone a Happy & Blessed New Year 2009 !
Another year has gone and another year has arrived. I am very grateful for the way I approached new year by renewing my vows to God. Sermon by Pastor Connie is a great reminder for me as I enter into this year of unknown.
1 Timothy 6:6-10
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolishness and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wondered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
What I learnt from it was...
One : pursue godliness above all else.
Two : be contented with what God has given us.
Three : get our focus right, focus on God.
Four : do not be tempted by more money(wealth), power, status, it will bring us further from God.
Five : listen, obey and serve Him.
