Confirm Your Calling And Election: Grow In Christian Virtues
We have the dignified purpose of being God's image bearer and His spokesperson, but often, we seem to give people the wrong impression of what Christians really are because we have overlooked the need to grow in Christian virtues in our lives. True gospel brings true transformation - not only in the external but also transformation of one's character. A genuine follower of God will naturally pursue Christ-likeness in life, and confirm his election repeatedly through his progressive sanctification. Through this message, may we examine our lives again and confirm if we are indeed in a continual pursuit of Christian virtues God wants us to restore and develop in increasing measure. The cornerstone of a Christian character is faith and love, followed by goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness and mutual affection. May we see these growing in us through the help of Holy Spirit until it becomes our second nature, manifesting the glory of Christ in the darkness of the world.

How To Use Your Feelings For The Lord? <Ph 4:1-7>
If there is this one thing that the whole world would idolize and give attention to, it is the feelings that the human species is born with. And humans by nature legitimize their feelings. Yet, because of the sinful and imperfect world we live in, there is no way to protect our feelings without hurting that of others. Similarly, there is no way to move forward as a society, or as a church without some getting hurt. Inherently, we all love to feel good, and there is nothing wrong in wanting so, but what could be really wrong is if we just shut our spiritual mechanism, or stop testing or doing the will of God when we are feeling otherwise. Christ has come to redeem our feelings and emotions, and HE has given us the truth to master them. With that, let us learn to face the reality of our feelings and to use them rightly.
