09-09-2007, 7th years into my baptism
09-09-2007, yes, my 7th year anniversary for my water baptism... My every first step into public proclamation of my faith in Jesus.
Normally, I would pay attention to this 3 special day, 14-06, 09-09, and last but definitely not the least, 16-12... When these 3 days draw close, I will want to celebrate it... This year my 09-09 just went by with no special arrangement... never mind...
I didn't asked for a baptism name during that day...
My baptism name, Peter actually came much later.. It came about as I was asking ChuKai for a name that can remind myself of God's work in my life, and a model that I can refer to. Peter. When I got this name from Chukai, I was actually quite reluctant. Too common... However, after sometime looking at Apostle Peter life, I see some similarity...
Quote from The Apostle Peter, "From the Gospel accounts we can gather that Peter was naturally impulsive, that is, he was often quick to speak and act without first carefully thinking. We can also see that at times he was very self-confident and bold, and at other times weak and cowardly. Peter's total humanness comes through clearly in the Gospels. Jesus took this totally human man and made him into one of the "pillars" in His church, as we see in the first 12 chapters of Acts. It was Peter who preached the sermon on Pentecost Day when about 3,000 were added to the church..."
I mean, look at the description of Peter in the above paragraph... It is really me... I am Peter Neoh... I am really the Peter that impulsive, emotional, quick to speak, slow to think, quick to react without much thinking, very confident person (I got very good perception of own self), and tend to make bold statement, but the truth really is I am weak in my character and I tend to chicken off...
I want to make today Pastor Jeff preaching really a powerful and good one... Every sermon and preaching from pastor only become powerful and great when the receiver go and apply it in their life.
Recap of today sermon...
James 2:14-17...
- My faith must go beyond my words. (Yes.. Talk less, do more... Everyone words I said, I must take ownership to make it come into reality in my life.)
- My faith must go beyond my feeling... (Yes not just emotional and passion about thing short while... Yes. Commitment is the key. And commitment, is, the ability to follow thru on the right decisions that I have made even when the feeling subsided.
- My faith must be live out. (We are all too well educated beyond our obedience. Meaning, we know hoe than what we fed,
