Greetings, dear reader =)
You are currently holding the
last issue of the Uth Chronicle
for the year of 2009. By Gods
grace we have managed to put
it together despite many
delays! Do pray for the Uth
team as we start work on the
first issue for next year.
Hopefully well be able to stick
to the schedule and publish on
time!
The theme for this issue is
Study. It is something that
all of us can relate to as
students, but let us also
remember that we should also
be diligent students in the
study of Gods Word.
Another year has flown by
and before we know it, it will
be the New Year. Perhaps a
little stock-taking is in order
have we spent our time wisely
when it comes to studying?
Many of us are students and
time management is an item
that crops up time and again
on our prayer lists. Indeed,
sometimes it seems that there
is too much to do and too little
time with which to do it.School can seem so
overwhelming at times
(especially for those who have
just started in University) and
we often spend most of our
days studying for a test or
rushing an assignment;
sometimes all of it seems to be
a futile endeavor. But what
should our attitude be
towards studying? Pr.
Lingkang shares with us his
testimony of studying in
FEBC, and the lessons he has
drawn from it that we can
apply to our own secular
studies.
What of our spiritual lives?
Have we also spent our time
in the study of Gods preciousWord? It is a pursuit that
should take precedence over
our own earthly desires;
without the Bible guiding us,
we are prone to wander off
the straight and narrow.
Elder Chew writes to us about
how Jesus Himself valued the
Scriptures and how we, as
Christians, should do likewise.
Rev. Quek also shares with us
a comprehensive guide into
reading parables to help us
properly discern the meaning
behind the stories that Christ
told. May we remind
ourselves of the necessity of
studying to show ourselves
approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth. (2 Tim
2:15)
Before you read the rest of
this issue, there is a little
verse I would like to share. If
we find ourselves struggling
in secular studies or
struggling to keep our daily
Quiet Time, let us remember
that it is not by our own
strength that we overcome
the trials and temptations set
before us. Are we falling
behind in class? Pray for
guidance and contentment!
Are we quietly pushing aside
our Bible? Pray for a more
fervent desire to read Gods
Word! The less we are able to
do something, the more we
should pray and echo the
words of Paul where he
shares, And he said unto me,My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made
perfect in weakness. Most
gladly therefore will I rather
glory in my infirmities, that
the power of Christ may rest
upon me. (2 Cor 12:9)
May God bless your reading. =)
Thank you to all who have
contributed to this issue inone way or another. To God be
all glory!

ther than parables, there
are no other genres of
writing in the bible where
the LORD Himself providesreaders of Gods Word with an
interpretation. After the LORD
spoke on the parable of the Sower
(Matt 13: 1- 9), the disciples asked
for an explanation. From Christs
answer, we can glean the steps on
how to interpret parables.
CONTENT of the Parable
The parable of the Sower
portrays a Sower who sowed
seeds which fell on four
different kinds of ground: by
the wayside and the fowls came
and devoured the seeds; stony
places without much earth and the
sun scorched the plant because it
had no root; thorny places which
choked the plant; and good
ground which brought forth fruit ahundredfold, sixtyfold and
thirtyfold. The end of the parable
has the words who hath ears to
hear let him hear.
EXPLANATION of the Parable
The four kinds of ground describe
the four ways of receiving the
Word of the Kingdom. The
wayside refers to those who hearthe Word of God but have no
understanding and the wicked one
takes away the Word of God that
was sown. The stony places refer
to those who hear the same Word
preached and immediately
receives the Word with gladness.
But there is no root at the point of
receiving the Word, i.e. there is
mental acceptance withoutheartfelt conviction. It lasts but for
a while. When there is tribulation
or persecution because of the
Word of God, these hearers are
offended and reject the Word of
God. The thorny places refer to
those hearers who are like the
stony places hearers. These
receive the Word with joy
immediately and feel good about
it. But the cares of the world and
the deceitfulness of riches choke
the Word and there is no fruit.
The lives of these hearers are not
transformed by the Word of God.
The good ground refers to those
who hear, understand and who
bear fruit in their lives. Their
lives are transformed by the Word
of God which becomes their light
in the pathway of life.
OBSERVATIONS of Christs
Explanation
a. The main thrust of each parable
is found at the end. Do not be
too quick to apply in parables.
Patience is needed to first
establish the teaching in the
Parable. In the case of theParable of the Sower, the thrust
is on godly and acceptable
reception of the Word of God;
b.In parables, the interpreter must
distinguish between
embellishments and key
elements. Once that is
accomplished he must then
ascribe the correct
interpretation to these key
elements. He must refrain from
ascribing meaning to the
embellishments. Some of the
embellishments are there to
make the storyline complete.
The key elements possess
spiritual significance; the
embellishments do not. The
seed represents the Word of the
Kingdom; the fowls represent
the wicked one. The seed thatsprings up represents immediate
acceptance of the Word with
joy. The sun represents
persecution and tribulation
because of the Word; withered
away represents the offended
reaction; thorns refer to the
cares of the world and
deceitfulness of riches; the
choking of the plant refers tothe choking of the Word; the
good ground refers to the right
kind of hearing; and the
O

fruitfulness of the ground refers
to the fruitful life of the
Christian. The examples of
embellishments in this parable
are not as obvious as in other
parables. Some of them would
include fowls [plural] but refers
only to wicked one [singular];not much earth, and no
deepness of earth, have no
special significance.
APPLICATION of the Parable
If the seed refers to the
gospel of salvation, then
the hearers would refer to the
four different groups of people who
receive the gospel or the fourdifferent ways the gospel would be
received. One group would reject it
immediately; another would say yes
to the gospel but when persecution
for the faith comes, they would give
up their faith; the third group
would say yes but allow the cares of
the world and the deceitfulness of
riches to draw them away and to
reject Christ; and the final group,which responds rightly to the
gospel, say yes and allow their lives
to be transformed and they will not
allow persecution, neither the cares
of the world nor deceitfulness of
riches to lure them away from
Christ!
But if the seed refers to the general
teaching of Gods Word pertaining
to sanctification such as thedoctrines of prayer or tithing or
fasting, then the Parable of the
Sower would refer to Christians
who hear Gods Word preached.
Some would show no interest; there
are those who would give mental
and verbal acceptance but then
persecution, the cares of the world
and deceitfulness of riches would
discourage them and they will notobey. The only way to receive
Gods Word that is accepted by the
LORD is to obey the Word
whereby the believers life is
transformed and is become more
like Christs.
The Parable of the Sower teaches
one single truth - the right way to
receive Gods Word is to embrace
and live it !

esus, the Living Word, has
declared, "Heaven and earth shall
pass away: but my words shall notpass away. (Lk 21:33). The
Lord Jesus is the Wordmade flesh,
[who]dwelt among us (Jn 1:14).
It may be asked, Does Jesus need
the Word of God like us, to lead and
guide Him and to be the rule of
faith and practice? What about the
exhortations to us to meditate on the
Word of God and to hide them in
our hearts so that we will not sin
against God? Do these apply to
Christ, the Incarnate Word, as well?
To answer these questions, we need
to know who Jesus Christ is. He is
the Son of God and Son of Man in
one person, very God and very man,
without sin. He is perfect, He sins
not and is in constant fellowship
with the Father, abiding in the Wordof God and the Word of God in Him.
Sin is the transgression of the Law
of God (1 Jn 3:4). Since our Lord
Jesus never sins, He never
transgresses against the Law of God
at any time but is in perfect sync
with the Word of God. He knows
the will of the Father and He lives in
perfect harmony with it. Never once
is He ignorant of the Fathers will,
such that He has to stop to search
the Scriptures. He never sins, even
ignorantly as some of us do, and
unlike us He never sins willfully
against what He knows to be the
Word of God.
However as a man, Jesus could have
succumbed to the temptations and
trials that plague every man, and
that dogged him. He could, for
example, have naturally gratified hisphysical appetites when fasting,
transported himself supernaturally
instead of toiling under the hot
Judean sun, and most of all, shielded
himself from the anguish and pain
on the cross.
How did Jesus the man remain true
to his calling? By the reading,
meditation, and obeying of Gods Word.
If Jesus needed the Scriptures, what
more us?
Jesus said Search the scriptures; for in
them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me.(Jn 5:39).
On another occasion he rebuked theSadducees Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God.(Mt
22:29).
Jesus set us the example in the
account of his temptation by the
devil. (Mt 4:1-11) Jesus was hungry
and it was then that the devil came
to tempt him, If thou be the Son of
God, command that these stones be made
bread. Our Lord answered and said,It is written, Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God. Notice how our
Lord resisted the temptation, by
relying on the inerrant, infallible
eternal Word of God. This account
teaches us that this was the same
meat that sustained the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of Man, day by day.
How much more do we, as fallen
depraved individuals, need the
Scriptures!
Notice how the Lord was tempted
again. Then the devil taketh him up into
the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle
of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou
be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it
is written, He shall give his angels charge
concerning thee: and in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou
dash thy foot against a stone.(v5-6) It is
instructive to note that even the devilquotes the Scriptures to prove his
point! If you do not know the word
of God, you can be misled by the
devil who will wrest the Scripture to
guide you in the wrong path. So
beware! But Jesus said unto him, It iswritten again, Thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God.
Once again, our Lord fended off the
fiery darts of the devil by resting in
the authority of the Scriptures. Are
we able to do likewise? How shall we
stand against the wicked forces of
darkness that seek to cripple us so
that we will sin against God and
become ineffective for Christ in this
world of darkness? We need theSword of God in our hand!
Again, the devil taketh him up into an
exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him
all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory
of them; And saith unto him, All these
things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall
down and worship me. (v8-9) How did
our Lord reply? He had used the
Word of God but the devil did not
relent in his attack. Should He tryanother method? Then saith Jesus
unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and him only shalt thou
serve.(v10-11)
Jesus continued to resist the devil by
abiding in the Word of God and
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold,
angels came and ministered unto him.So
says James, in Jas 4:7 Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil,and he will flee from you.
The way to victory against sin is to
hide Gods Word in our hearts and
to rest in and submit to it. How
ought we then to meditate daily on
the Word of God, to ingest it
thoroughly so that our Sword is
sharpened and ever ready against
the hour of temptation.
God bless your endeavour to Study
to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Ti 2:15)

As so many have said before me, your time ofstudies is one of the best times of your lives.
You have the most freedom, and the least
amounts of responsibilities. Of course this isa general statement, and each ones personalexperiences might differ from individual to
individual. But generally, our schooling daysshould be cherished and treasured, and we
should make the most of it. It is a time whenwe are filled with youthful energy and
exuberance, unbound by pressures of ourown family or responsibilities of the
workplace. We have much time on our handsto manage as we please. It is a time where
we can do so much for the Lord. It is also atime for great learning not just from
academic knowledge in the classroom, butalso from life experiences where we learn to
trust in Gods grace and to follow His willeach step of the way.
I have been asked to share a short testimony
of my 4 year journey in FEBC, of the lessonslearnt and the experience garnered. And so
below, I have listed a few things that I havelearnt, many of them the hard way, about
studying for the Lord. You may say that
because I was in Bible College my experiencewould have been different from one in a JC
or Poly or University, but my reply is this: nomatter what course of study we are taking or
what institute of education we are at, thesame principle applies we are Christians
first, students second, and therefore we areto do all for the glory of God.
Always study for the LordThe first point that I would address would bethe issue of our motivations. What motivates
us to study? That was something that Istruggled with constantly as well, even in
Bible College. Oftentimes I found myselfdoing an assignment for the lecturers sake,
or so that I could get the A that I wanted, forprides sake. I knew that often the motivation
that kept me up late studying away was sothat I could achieve a good grade for my own
glory. And so I had to constantly remindmyself, and was also constantly reminded by
the Lord through His word and through Hisservants, that my purpose there was not at
all for self but always only for the Lord. Mypurpose in studying was not so that I could
prove that I was smart but simply to preparefor whatever ministry that the Lord had for
me, and to be a good testimony to thepeople around me.
We all know this principle that we are to
study for God and for His glory. Yet
oftentimes that is not the case, for we areoften motivated by self and pride, in seeking
results, the glory of scholarship, a desire for agood job and future. Either that or we study
to please our parents or teachers andlecturers, or even just so that we can do

better than our classmates. But
what we must realize is that ourstudies should be for none of these
reasons. We must constantly remindourselves that our purpose in
school is to study for the Lord, andfor that reason alone. Yes we do our
best and fulfil all that is required of
us, but only so that we can be agood testimony, so that we canshine forth for Christ. If anything
that we do takes us away from thatsingle motivation, we must stop to
check ourselves to make sure thatwe are studying for the Lord alone.
These verses in Colossians sum upthis principle quite well: Servants,
obey in all things your mastersaccording to the flesh; not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but insingleness of heart, fearing God: And
whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, asto the Lord, and not unto men;
KnowingthatoftheLordyeshall

Andsowiththatinmind,itwill

Whatsoeverthyhandfindethto
do,doitwiththymight;forthere
is no work, nor device, nor
knowledge, nor wisdom, in the
grave, whither thou goest (Ecc
9:10).
Always study relying on the
Lord
For sure, I did face numerous
difficul6es in my 4 years of
study.Therewere6meswhenit
seemed that there was simply
not enough 6me to finish all
thatIhadtodo.Other6mes,I
felt so overwhelmed by the
m o un ta i n o f a s si g nm e nt s
before me that I just felt like
giving up. There were 6mes of
weariness and fa6gue, where I
justwantedthesemestertoend
and the holidays to come. But
through it all, 6me and 6me
again, theLordshowed that His
g race i s s uffici ent ; t hat Hi s
strengthis madeperfectthroughour weakness. I realized that
each 6me I rely on my own
strengthtoaccomplishmytasks,
Iwouldgetnowhere.ButwhenI
commit it to the Lord, and rely
onHimandnotmyself,Hewould
prove that it is His grace that
wouldseeus through.Atthe end
of each semester, I would look
back and marvel at the way
which theLordhad brought methrougheachtask.Truly,Iwould
not have been able to do
anythingat allwithout theLord
guiding andleading me. Andso
inthis,IechothewordsofPaul,
But by the graceofGod I am
what I am:and his gracewhich
wasbestowed uponmewasnot
in vain; but I labored more
abundantlythantheyall:yetnotI, but the grace of God which
waswithme(1Cor15:10).
That should therefore me the
principle that we should bring
with us not just through our
studies, but through everything
inlifeaswell.Alwaysremember
that anything we do, it is only
done by His grace. We should
never trust in our own wisdomand understanding, or our own
talents andabili6es,for they will

it is generally the case that the
s mar t er, more ha rdwor ki ng
person would get the beYergrades, we know that is not
always the case. Why? Because
God is always in control. We
cannot and should not expect

for it would just make me one
bloated with head knowledge
and pride, but liYle spirituality
and humility. I thank God that
themaximfromJohnCalvinwas
con6nually drilledintomy byall

the three important principles
that we must have in studying
theology is simply humility,

observed,andwouldadmitthatI
did succumb to at 6mes, would
be to use the 6me during

students would also flout the
rule about lights off at FEBC tostay up late to finish their

I was asked to write an article on
studying. But I wondered how Icould approach the topic from a
different viewpoint. An eventhappened while writing this article
that helped my train of thought.How do you as a Christian Student
deal with friends and friendshipswhen they go sour? What advice
does the Bible have for you? Howdo you deal with unhappiness? These were my
thoughts as I pondered how to best counsel a student
facing these issues.
Most of us are social by nature and when things go
wrong, who do we turn to for help? You have beenworking on a project with friends, good friends, friends
who you think feel the same way about you. Butsuddenly, as quick as a change in the weather, they
begin to avoid you. They refuse to reply your SMSes.They call you names behind your back. Their MSN nick
is a veiled criticism of you.
Examine yourself
As Christians, our first reaction must not be to do denyeverything. Get an external unbiased opinion.
Extend the hand of reconciliation
After careful examination, if we are in the wrong, it
would be good to admit your shortcomings. And see ifyou can move on. Extend the hand of peace.
Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, andlend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall begreat, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is
kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Excuse
Now the other party may or may not accept the
apology/explanation. If they continue to be hostiletowards you, the best thing may be to excuse yourself
from working or hanging out with the group.
But you say, Now my group of friends do not wantanything to do with me. They dont sit with me, they
dont ask me for lunch. It is a lonesome path, however ifyou have done your best to make peace, perhaps it is
best to leave that clique, to find new friends.
So what can you do?
Talk to Christian Friends/YFers.
Dont forsake your friendships in church. They are yourmutual encouragement.
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the{kisses} of an {enemy} are deceitful.
Be sociable
Yes you may not be in the in crowd but it is time tomake wise choices beyond popularity. Take the effort to
talk to classmates who may be quieter.
Seek and Pray for God to lead you to mutuallyencouraging friendships with classmates
I encourage all young people to pray as
you begin your school term, pray thatGod will bless you with good friends
and classmates. Fair weather friends willleave you when the group decides they
no longer like you. Good friends willstand up for you. Good friends will tell
you your faults. And good friends willremind you of Gods promises in the
midst of times of trial and difficulty.
Proverbs 3:5 {Trust} in the {LORD} with all thine {heart};and lean not unto thine own understanding.Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall

As a lecturer I found it really hard to counsel students.Secular counseling techniques advise us not to give a
solution but to allow the student to come to theconclusion by themselves. I listened, I prompted, but I
couldnt tell the student to seek the Lord.
My fellow brothers and sisters, our hope, ourconfidence, should be in the Lord. It is not an easy road
to walk if you are not in the majority. But our Lord andSaviour walks with us and guides our footsteps. Trust in
an Almighty Saviour to carry you through these storms.Trust in Him to bring you true friends and help you
through each semester of your studies.

Now that youre in your late teens,I am writing to give you a glimpseinto growing up. The road ahead
will be full of bumps, some of whichare pretty hard knocks. Sometimes
you will be disappointed, frustratedand grieved. At other times, you will
laugh over an intelligent joke withbosom buddies or smile knowingly
at good memories with loved ones.
People will come and go in yourlife, even those whom you think are
close friends. But the constant isGod never forget that He has
been watching over you and willcontinue to do so until you see
Him face to face. He is your trueBest Friend.
You are now wondering why all
your female friends have boyfriendsor have guys approaching them, but
you are treated as a buddy by yourguy friends. You begin to ask
whether you are that ugly oruncool. Its just not your time yet.
You are not mature enough for agiving relationship, one that
cherishes God as Master and King.There will be attractive, kind and
sensitive guys in your life. But theyare not for you chiefly because they
are not His children. The good,
Christian ones are either seeingsomeone else, are not interested,or are immature.
God will send along one generous,
loving and God-fearing man. He willappear later in your life yes,
after your friends are married andhave their own kids. But it is worth
the wait. Why? Its simply becausehe is Gods gift to you. Arent Gods
gifts the best for us? Anyway, youllbe more mature and ready then.
Your parents will also approve ofhim at first sight. So dont go
around finding your own happinessrashly.And then there are conflicts at
home. You and I know whats beengoing on, so theres no need to go
into details here. Sometimes thingswill get so bad, you will wonder
why other peoples families seem tobe far happier than yours. You will
often cry out to God for His graceand peace. It sure is the way to
real peace of mind, because youtend to think over and over howelse things could change.
Youve been a quick and organised
worker, but this time, the problemsare beyond your abilities and
understanding. Remember this well man can change only with Christ
in his/her heart. So, the struggle isnot just to persevere in praying for
your parents salvation, but also tobear in mind that salvation belongs
to the LORD. Dont run accordingto your own will its unwise and
unnecessary.
Youll find a whole new world opento you in university. Hostel life is
vastly different from home life, andyoull soon realise that undergrads
reflect the different personalities inthe working world. There will be
buayas, skivers and martians in thisjungle of a world. And of course
there will be the glam, popularones. Looking back, I cant resist
smiling at who those termsrepresent.
You will be excited to join the
hostel band, choir and dramagroup. You are a performer at
heart. There will be long hoursspent in rehearsing and performing.
Sure, youll feel a high, but all isvanity. Why? Its self-promotion
after all. No, Im not saying all art isevil; Im saying that your reason for
being involved and the circle ofinfluence are wrong.There will be many who call
themselves Christians, but watchhow they behave and hear their life
goals and directions. Mark thosewho are wise in the LORD. The
Bible will help you discern whoyour real friends are. They will pray
with and encourage you with Godsword.
You will also learn how others see
you you might have goodintentions but your bluntness might
hurt others feelings. Its indeed apainful journey to learn what it is
to be approachable, because ithurts to find out your own
weaknesses. Proverbs 18:24 Aman [that hath] friends must shewhimself friendly: and there is a friend[that] sticketh closer than a brother.
Growing up sounds rather
bewildering, doesnt it? It can beconfusing, and sometimes you are
puzzled as to why your intentionsare misread. You might wonder
what the meaning of life is, and feellike giving up altogether. In times
likes these, dont despair. To despairis to have no hope. Since Christ has
saved you, and is the LORD of
everything, how can there be nohope?
Make this your life reminder Iam crucified with Christ: nevertheless Ilive; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:and the life which I now live in theflesh I live by the faith of the Son ofGod, who loved me, and gave Himselffor me(Galatians 2:20).God hassaid this for a very good reason.
Live it until you see Christ.
Oh, and God loves you very much.
Hey!ere y"n#r me,
Eena

I supposed I knew my BibleReading piecemeal, hit and miss,
Now a bit of John or Matthew,Now a snatch of Genesis,
Certain chapters of IsaiahCertain Psalms (the twenty-third);
Twelfth of Romans, First of ProverbsYes, I thought I knew the Word;
But I found that thorough readingWas a different thing to do,
And the way was unfamiliarWhen I read the Bible through.
Oh, the massive, mighty volume!Oh, the treasures manifold!
Oh, the beauty of the wisdomAnd the grace it proved to hold!
As the story of the HebrewsSwept in majesty along,As it leaped in waves prophetic,
As it burst to sacred song,As it gleamed with Christly omens,
The Old Testament was new,Strong with cumulative power,
When I read the Bible through.Ah! Imperial Jeremiah,
With his keen, coruscant mind;And the blunt old Nehemiah,
And Ezekiel refined!
Newly came the song idyllic,And the tragedy of Job;
Deuteronomy, the regal,To a towering mountain grew,
With its comrade peaks around itWhen I read the Bible through.
What a radiant processionAs the pages rise and fall,James the sturdy, John the tender
Oh, the myriad-minded Paul!Vast apocalyptic glories
Wheel and thunder, flash and flame,While the church triumphant raises
One incomparable name.Ah, the story of the Saviour
Never glows supremely trueTill you read it whole and swiftly,
Till you read the Bible through.You who like to play at Bible,
Dip and dabble, here and there,Just before you kneel, aweary,
And yawn thro' a hurried prayer;You who treat the Crown of Writings
As you treat no other bookJust a paragraph disjointed,
Just a crude, impatient lookTry a worthier procedure,
Try a broad and steady view;You will kneel in very raptureWhen you read the Bible through.

Greetings from India! Its been a few months since Ive disappeared from YF, and Im sure you must be wonderinghow I have been doing over here. I must say I am enjoying myself thoroughly the food here is fantastic, the
people are the most hospitable folk Ive met, the travelling opportunities are immense, and the culture andatmosphere of this place is simply amazing. It has had such an influence on me that my parents are complaining
that I subconsciously shake my head in the Indian-style now when Im speaking. Haha, I guess I have becomeIndianized in that sense.
But thank God for his preservation thus far. I have survived the horrible traffic, the street food, the poverty andfilthiness of the place, and other practices known only to a 3rd world country. My fellow German exchange
students have had diarrhea a couple of times already since they have arrived. Ive only had the fortune of having itjust once, and it was a mild one too, so Im incredibly grateful.
School isnt particularly intensive, considering how Im on exchange. It is actually rather relaxing. I have the timeto go on holidays to various parts of India (as of October Ive been to Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Calcutta and
Tamil Nadu) and have seen and experienced the sights and smells of an extremely diverse country. Its what Iexpected and more! One of my friends here, Vrinda, says that Ive assimilated so well that Im like a desi, which is
a term used for Indians who reside overseas and come back to India to visit once in a while. If you want to knowmore stories, youll have to speak to me in person!
The only thing that has been very trying is to find a sound church. My school and hostel is located in a villageabout an hour away from the Bangalore city. Furthermore, if you dont already know, India is predominantly
Hindu. Christian communities exist, but they are in small pockets. I was church hopping when I arrived in thebeginning, and have finally settled on an Assembly of God church, which is slightly bigger than Calvary Pandan. The
messages are solid and based on the KJV, so thats something I appreciate. But the worship is rather charismaticand there is tongues-speaking, so thats something unfamiliar which I have to deal with. Nonetheless its always
awe-inspiring to hear the pastor keep repeating the mantra of shining for Christ in a God-forsaken land. InSingapore we dont really feel the need to. But in a country like India, its heartening to see pockets of Christians
being fervent and living as a good witness for Him.
Well, I think thats about all I have to update. Ill be back really soon anyway in just a few months. So Ill see you
when I get back!
MY BLOO
Dear YFers,
God Bless,Danny

Reflections on organizing the 30th Anniversary ThanksgivingAnd Asa cried unto the LORD hisGod, and said, LORD, it is nothing withthee to help, whether with many, orwith them that have no power: helpus, O LORD our God; for we rest on
thee, and in thy name we go againstthis multitude. O LORD, thou art ourGod; let not man prevail againstthee.(2 Chronicles 14:11)
To be honest, when I received the
invitation to write on theanniversary thanksgiving for Uth, my
initial reaction was to decline, forthroughout the entire planning, I
wished for all the glory to go toGod, and I feared that writing this
article would glorify me instead. As Iprayed more about it, the Lord laid
it upon my heart to use thisopportunity to share with you how
to glorify God in all aspects of yourlife, even in such major events. For
when I was younger, I sometimessinned in desiring recognition for
what I had done.
Back in mid 2008, after the Church
session decided that we should havea 30th Anniversary Thanksgiving andI was then asked to take charge of
it, my recurring thought was tomake sure that no glory must go to
me. Do understand that it is veryeasy for a person to exalt himself in
this position of being able to directboth the banquet staff at the
external venue as well as our ownmembers who are involved in
helping out. Yes, someone must
lead, for there must beresponsibility and accountability. But
as God had given Calvary Pandanthese 30 years, He must be given
the glory for our thanksgiving ofthese 30 years.
A plan was drawn up to ensure the
organizing was broken down intovarious tasks that would be handled
by capable members who would inturn form their own groups; in this
way, no one person would beglorified, only Christ. The Church
session had already agreed oncritical details such as the venue and
the order of events, so whatremained was to flesh out the rest
of the details, brief the organizingmembers, and most importantly,
pray. For just as king Asa in the textabove faced a million Ethiopians
with a considerable army of his ownnumbering 580,000 and having
fortified his cities, he still chose tocommit it all to the Lord in prayer,
and God gave the victory. Similarly,
though this dinner plan wascomprehensive and we had thepower of many involved, we
committed it all to the Lord duringchurch prayer meetings that He
would be glorified.
Thus, even when the economicrecession hit and the signup rate
was slow during the
initial weeks of registration, I did
not panic because it was clearly theLords will that we gave thanks for
30 years in Pandan; He would givethe increase. Praise God that just a
couple of days before the event, thetotal number of tables committed
to was finally fulfilled. As the eventdrew near, the main challenge was
dealing with change. I purposed inmy heart that I would try not to
complain about all these changesnor feel it was MY plan, for this
was definitely not glorifying Godand instead glorifying myself. Truly
His grace proved to be sufficient:for example, help came from so
many members, especially for lastminute demands. All praise to God
that at the end, everyone whoattended the anniversary
thanksgiving could give God theglory, and there were no major
hiccups. God allowed minormistakes of my own doing, to keep
me humble, and to make Hisstrength perfect in my weakness.
Sola Gloria!
Deacon Milton Ang,or affectionately BM to many.

Thank God for the September
Retreat, it was certainly encouragingto see so many take time off their
busy schedules to come andlearnmore of God's Word together! (:
The theme for the retreat,
"Treasures", was taken fromMatthew 6:19-24. The messages
delivered by Bro Paul Fergusonreminded us to check our heart's
condition and to reflectif we havebeen pursuing after the things of the
world. Personally I felt that themessages were very pertinent since
most of us have just started a new
schoolterm in university and as theworkload starts to get heavier, it is
very easy to get caught up with the
cares of the world and neglect ourwalk with the Lord.This definitelyshould not be the case, sincestudying is merely our earthly
vocation, and what is moreimportant is laying up for ourselves
treasures that willlast for eternity!It is only by having an intimate
relationship with God will we be
able to find true happiness andpeace. And as He has promised, allotherthings will then be addedunto us (Matthew 6:33)! (:
We had a blessed time of
Fellowship Walk around theneighbourhood, where the YFers
shared with each other theirburdens andblessings which theywould like to thank the Lord for. Itwas an excellent opportunity to
interact with people whom we didnot know too well prior to
thisactivity, and I hope that all of ushave gotten to know them a tad
better now!
The object lesson on Saturdayafternoon was also enjoyable, where
the theme of the retreat was
reiterated in the form of games. Thecampers were once again remindedtoalways set our affections onthings that will bring glory to God'sname, be it inserving others,spending time reading the bible orliving our lives in accordance to His
Will.
It has indeed been a blessing to beable to serve alongside Joyce, Brian
and Lingting in planning
andorganizingthis retreat! Andmany thanks to those whohavehelped out in one way oranother; your service is greatlyappreciated! :D

What do you think YF willbe like?I think that YF will be an
older version of Teenz, with
all the fellowship, camps,
retreats but also more
fervent as we grow up inserving the Lord. Just that
people arent talking of
secondary schools and O
levels now, but JCs,
polytechnics and A levels.
I probably wont know most
of the YFers but Im
guessing theyll be quite
friendly.
What are your thoughtsabout moving up to YFafter Teenz?I have gone to YF before, so
I guess its the same
thoughts you get when
moving up from JW toTeenz Im getting older.
Physically, mentally,
spiritually and all.
Self-IntroIm Grace, a sec 3 from
Teenz, from St. Margarets
secondary school. I like red
and I dont like cakes.
I think YF would be like a moreadvanced stage of Teenz, but
catering to a wider spectrum ofages. It is, in my opinion, sort of a
Christ-centred platform for like-minded brethren to fellowship
together, to encourage and edifyone another, and most
imperatively to study Gods wordtogether. It is essentially a
blessed time for spiritual feeding.I think the people in YF would be
like friendly big brothers andsisters whom I can look up to,
and who are more than willing toprovide wise, godly advice and
sincere guidance. I am somewhateagerly anticipating the imminent
move from Teenz to YF, not onlybecause I get to expand my
network of Christian friends, but
more importantly because of thein-depth coverage of certaintopics related to the Bible and
everyday life. :)
TEENS THAT TALK
I think that YF is like teenz in
many ways, for example theretreats, but probably more
mature, as YF people are usuallyex-teens :) Another difference:
its now no longer talking aboutwhich JCs or poly(s) to go to,
more likely talking aboutuniversities, masters, PhDs, jobs,
etc. The people in YF willprobably be familiar to us as they
might have attended teenz orretreats or camps together
before. Therefore, a lot of familiarfaces! Although, there is probably
a very big difference between YFand teenz. The messages of YF
probably require a lot morestudying of the Bible, as well as
the significant absence of BM :)
All in all, to me, going from Teenzto YF is like going up to the nextlevel :D!
What we think YF would be.
We think that it is a fun and lovingplace to be in for fellowships. We
hope that we would be able tounderstand the messages and mix
around with the YFs. Mostimportantly, to walk closer to God
through YF.See you soon.
Thank you!Thank God for YF!

Indeed, it is good to cultivate
a habit of setting aside time to
begin the day by praying and
meditating on Gods Word.
May we pray for more time
and a greater desire to come
before God for a sweet hour of
prayer!

Time spent on personal study ofGods Word/QT3 hours weekly OR ~25 mins daily Church Activities
(YF, FCM, Contact Groups, etc.)10 hours weekly OR ~1 hour 30 minutes dailyIt is a great blessing for us to be able to come
before God to worship Him on Sundays and to
learn more of His Word and fellowship with
likeminded brethren. But let us also seize the
opportunities presented to us during the rest of
the week; there are many blessings to be had.
It is often easy for us
to neglect our family
because of all the time
we spend on work and
play, but let us
remember that we
ought to honour our
parents. We can also
edify our siblings and
encourage ourparents by simply
taking some time to
talk to them and
share their burdens.
Time spent withFamily (Dinner,Outings, Etc.)10 hours weekly OR~1 hour 30 minutes daily
As with studies, we must
take care that we do not
spend so much time and
energy on our hobbies and
CCAs that it negatively
affects our service to the
Lord. While these activities
may not be innately sinful,we should take care that
we do not accidentally turn
them into idols.
Hobbies/CCAS9 hours weekly OR~1 hour 15 minutes daily
With a medium as
pervasive as the Internet,it is difficult to determine
exactly how much time we
spend on things like
Facebook. Who hasnt had
the experience of popping
onto Facebook for just a
little while in between
doing work, only to find
that hours have flown by
without us making any
progress? Let us keep aclose eye on how we spend
our time here!
Social Networking(Facebook, Friendster, etc.)6 hours weekly OR~50 minutes daily
There is a fine line
to be drawn
between sloth and
possiblyoverzealous
studying, and we
must take heed
that we do not
swing to either
extreme. May we
constantly
remember to
commit our
studies to God,
that we may be
good testimonies
to our friends in
school.
Secular Studies(Excluding Curriculum Time)23 hours weekly OR~3 hours 15 mins daily
