But God commanded me to love both of them, be silent in front of my enemies, surely God will not spare them from their evil, but we have to love them sincerely, revenge is from the Lord, may God's will be done on earth as in heaven, pray like a pastor, do not just pray, pray like Elijah, do not just pray...

8 woes

woe to the rich who cannot find richness in God.
woe to the rich men who does not help the poor men,
woe to the rich pastors who betray the poor pastors,
woe to the young who looked down to the elderly one,
woe to the people who taken brides and bribes without shame,
woe to the people who telling lies to cover up their sins,

woe unto us, who are lost in sins, the Bible tells us,

we are cursed, because of the sin of Adam...but the Lamb of God, take away the sin of the whole world, blessed is the Name of the Lamb, and let us praise Him, Amen.

Almighty God, may You take their power away from them, so that they will be powerless, and give that power to another man, let another replace him, and bound the terrorist for a moment, for they are creating havoc on earth, let them search their heart, peace or war? God help us to love them down deep in our heart, because one day, You will come to ask the people on earth, "Where is the faithful on earth."

One question to the wise...Where is place and country, the terrorists are living now, it is in my...you know, where? This is only a part of testing, do not worry, be happy....take this time...a time to repair the goverments ...Sad to say, I am talking like a frog! They still wanted to tail me... Theology like VPP is only exist in my head.... and cannot, and will never exist in my heart!

I wish this will become true..May God bless us in the Name of the Father and the Name of the Son and the Name of the Holy Spirit, Amen, Amen, Amen..

Another urgent prayer to God

All mighty God, please hear my prayer this evening, my enemies are like the waves, and the sand, and more than my hair, and they hated me deeply.

Wailing, wailing, wailing, for the coming troubles on earth....
moaning, moaning, moaning, for the pastors betray pastors,
crying, crying, crying, for the great is the calamity from heaven,

In Memory of a pastor

There was a pastor, he was a man of faith, love, hope, a young man said, he was a man in prayer, he was found also with truth, love, in him, he was a man who loved the Lord, this is also true about him, he trusted in God, this also true in him, the young man said he saw him sit down and half laid and prayed in peace. Talk in peace, and also serve the Lord in Christ, in peace. In him, the young man saw ..once...the work of the Spirit...!

In this pastor's life, there were things that caused many to respect and other things that caused people to disrespect him and, one of them is the VPP that mared all the respects they owe him. However we must not confused his character with his theology, some of his theology like VPP must be corrected...in VPP, they cannot be united, they must defend the Bible once and for all.

In the history of Israel there were some good kings, and there were many bad kings, God was angered with the bad kings, in the past, for example, Moses was stopped at Mt Nebo, in entering the promised land, in later time, the Israel was split into north and south after King Solomon. Many prophets were sent to Israel to warn and give them the word of God, but sometime they did not listened to the Lord. The Lord sent pestilences to chastise them. They had killed many prophets and servants of God. Their sins are recorded in the Hebrew Bible. Let us learn from that history. Time is near, that they had to make a peace agreement and after that they will make wars with the neighbours, until they destroyed them....they will settled their troubles once and for all, but there is a time for peace.

There are many, pastors, there is not even one, who is perfect....
There are many, man of God, there is not one, who is perfect,
there are many, prophets from God, there is not even one, who is perfect,
there are many, kings from God, there is not even one, who is perfect,
there are many, priest from God, there is not even one, who is perfect,

There is only one man and God, who is perfect, only one who is able,
He is the coming Messiah, the King of kings, Lord of lords,
He is called the Lamb of God....
Amen.

The young man said, the pastor is not a perfect man, lets us forgive him! Did you forgive your pastor?

In Memory of the Rev (Dr) Timothy Tow Siang Hui

By Jonathan Tow, 22 April 2009, Singapore

http://www.febc.edu.sg/assets/weekly2009/weekly-volvi-no30.htm

Many of you this evening know my father well. Some have co-laboured with him, many pastored by him, perhaps a number saved through him, and some taught by him. Regardless, many would agree that he was truly a man of God.

As Rev Tow’s son, I’ve seen my father’s life, both in the church and in the family. He was godly and devout. To me, he was a most gentle, patient, forgiving, generous, honest, loving, selfless, compassionate, gracious, loyal and obedient Christian. He practised what he preached. And, he always put God first. As a family, we witnessed this daily.

I just want to briefly share with you how my father was a man of faith and prayer. When confronted with situations, he always looked to the Lord for guidance and comfort. He recognised the sovereign will of God, and waited on His providence. Even in darkest moments and times of grave disappointment, he never blamed God, nor did he vilify those that treated him with evil intent. He was always calm and urged us to be like Jesus, like when Jesus prayed to His heavenly Father.

Even when my father was faced with physical infirmities in his old age, he never complained. He always said to trust his Savior. There were times I questioned the Lord why certain things befell my father, a most faithful servant of God. Each time I tried to solicit some response from my father, he always pointed to the will of God. Such was his total faith to God, as he would say, “Trust the Lord, He has a plan in your life, commit to Him”.

During his ministry, it was not uncommon for my father to give his entire salary to further God’s work. It was natural as men of flesh to sometimes feel worried what tomorrow holds should my father be called to the Lord early. We had some common fears, since my father, in worldly terms, owned nothing; no property and barely a nominal bank account. But he always responded spiritually, that we must have faith, trust the Lord and He will provide. The Lord is faithful, and the material, is immaterial.

In terms of prayer, my father always focused on seeking God’s will through earnest prayer. He never offered worldly advice, but always pointed to God’s will and seeking after His word. Also, when in doubt, he would tell you to pray. Pray, pray and pray. When we were young, we had our own family prayer meeting. In recent times, with his grandchildren, he would teach them to pray and bless them with his prayers.

When I look back, sometimes I wonder how it is possible to live like the great men of faith in the Bible. How to lead godly lives in all aspects. While he was certainly not perfect, I’ve seen my father to be a good example, and encouragement, that we can emulate, and achieve.

Finally, I want to share what I see to be a “thread” that binds these attributes of my father together. To me, it was his desire to show us that as a father, to love his family, was to demonstrate the love of God, our heavenly Father, to us all. It is not about wealth, or promises, it is about simple faith, and trust in the Lord. This also required us to love the Lord.

My father understood that as a father, he was but a temporary guardian. He showed us that our true Father is God eternal. When my father departs, we do not remain fatherless. Like him, we have the same eternal Father. That to me, is a key essence he imparted to us.

I am privileged to share in his life. I thank God that I was able to return to Singapore last month (March 2009) for two weeks. My father was in good health and continued to have a clear and lucid mind. His eye-sight remained perfect and he was still able to read in Chinese. He also read the newspapers and even asked me some international relations questions, as I was working in New York. But what struck me most was his profound humour. During the two weeks, he must have been a little irritated that I kept asking him the same question; “Dad, how are you?” He usually nodded silently. On the final night before I returned to New York, I asked the same question a couple of times. This time, he grinned, and asked the same question back; “Son, how are you?” I smiled. I was stumped. I saw what he meant. It was a profound response. We both understood.

I thank the Lord that my father returned to his heavenly Father peacefully in his sleep, and during a time when his health had significantly improved. It was to me, a remarkable and glorious return. The Lord, to me, did not forsake His faithful servant. The Lord, to me, returned as appropriate and just, to my father, a healthy physical and mental state, to honour him and to prove His power and love. And then, He bid my father welcome home.

One dream I never forget...for 30 years

For 30 years I kept a picture in my mind, it was taken from a dream. A colorful dream, a swine in the sky run across the sky, it was chased after by a gigantic stone, and the stone fallen into the sea, until today I do not understand that dream, it is a vision, a vivid and colorful blue sky, I never forget until today, but from who...What does it means to this world and my life. There were 5 0r 6 men in long white cloth sitting there watching that event in the sky, who are they, until today...I do not know.

This moment, when I look on myself, I recognized, I am not a spiritual man, and I am not spirit filled man, I was, but it was long time ago, but most of the time I am not walking with God, I am alone doing my things, talking this and that in this blog, struggle to find the truth hidden in the Bible, and going here and there, in ignoring God, and I am used to live like this, because the voice from God is seldom I heard now a day, I ignored His voices, He is silently letting me live in my world. I hope i can live like a koala bear, gentle and soft, peaceful but I can't. Who can help me? Who is the greatest helper for sinner like me? Am I called? God did call me 30 years ago through a voice, is He still wanting me to serve Him in this stage? I do not think so, so I resign as a servant of God, am I a priest?

After the Psunami, there is a Bsunami....a wild guess...a stone!

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

Copied from:

http://lifebpc.com/weekly.php?&wdate=%2022%20March%202009&firsttime=0

…………. What does the term "full of the Holy Spirit" mean? What does the Bible mean when it speaks of the fullness of the Holy Spirit? Writing to the Ephesians, Paul said, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). Here Paul draws a contrast between two things - a person who is filled with wine and a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit. The person who is filled with alcohol is controlled or dominated by alcohol. Its presence and power have overridden his normal abilities and actions. He is under the influence of alcohol. However, the Christian who is controlled by the Holy Spirit is under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Whatever he does, he does it with the help of the Holy Spirit, not with his own strength and ability.

…………. Any Christian who is not filled with the Holy Spirit is a defective Christian. He is weak and fallible. He is easily tempted and trapped by the evil one. He lives a life that is full of carnality and his way displeases the Lord.

Paul exhorts Christians to be filled with the Holy Spirit in Ephesians 5:18. This verse contains a negative and a positive command. The first is, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess" and the second is "but be filled with the Spirit." The negative command is "be not drunk" with wine. Paul did not forbid the drinking of wine (1 Timothy 5:23; 3:3; Titus 1:7). He said, "Do not be intoxicated" or "Do not be filled" with wine.

Lovingly in Christ, Colin

Your Beloved Pastor Rev Tow

B-P Church Founder Dies at 88

Monday, Apr. 20, 2009 Posted: 4:06:14PM HKT

Rev and Mrs Timothy Tow after the True Life Easter Sunrise Service
at Labrador Park, 12 April 2009

The man widely recognised as the founder of the Bible-Presbyterian movement in Singapore passed away this morning, his family confirmed.

Born in the city of Swatow in Guangdong, China in 1920, the Rev Dr Timothy S H Tow was instrumental in the B-P movement, having founded the first B-P congregation in 1955.

But Bible-Presbyterians trace their beginnings to 1950, when the Rev Dr Tow started an English congregation at Life Presbyterian Church, renamed Life Bible-Presbyterian Church five years later and dissociated from the Presbyterian synod due to the liberalism of the Malayan Christian Council leadership to which it had been connected.

As a young pastor, the Rev Dr Tow had led missionary trips to many parts of Malaysia and for a period of five years was preaching in churches in Singapore and Malaysia on a regular weekly basis. He also set up a theological seminary, Far Eastern Bible College, in 1962 and has been serving as its principal ever since. In a doctrinal conflict with two of his assistant pastors, the Rev Dr Tow resigned from Life B-P Church and started True Life B-P Church, holding the first service in early October in 2003 at the RELC auditorium.

With the missionary fervour of its founder and leaders, the local movement became one of the fastest growing denominations in Singapore, according to Operation World. Unfortunately, the body experienced a split in the 80s due to differing opinions of its leaders over the issue of doctrinal ‘separation’.

As of 2000, there were 60 B-P congregations in Singapore and 20 in Malaysia and unnumbered others in the ten ASEAN countries, Australia and the rest of the world, the pastor had recorded in his 2000 autobiography.

The Rev Dr Timothy S H Tow passed away due to natural reasons at 5.45 a.m. today in his home, according to his son-in-law Dr Jeffrey Khoo, Academic Dean at Far Eastern Bible College.

The funeral service will be conducted on Thursday at 10 a.m. at Calvary-Pandan B-P Church. Virgil services are being held from 8.15 p.m. starting today until Wednesday.

B-P Pastor: Founder Left Legacy of 'Doctrinal Integrity'

http://sg.christianpost.com/dbase/ministries/1232/section/1.htm

Wednesday, Apr. 22, 2009 Posted: 12:46:03AM HKT

Though the denomination he founded was dissolved in the late 80s, he is remembered for his firm stand against the theological liberalism of his time.

The Rev Dr Timothy Tow Siang Hui, who passed away peacefully on Monday morning in his home at the age of 88, started the Bible-Presbyterian movement in Singapore when as a young pastor of the English congregation at Life Presbyterian Church he broke with the then-liberal modernist Presbyterian Church and formed the Life Bible-Presbyterian Church, the first B-P church in the republic, in 1955.

Through the Rev Tow’s own missionary fervour and biblical discipleship the B-P movement became one of Singapore’s fastest growing denominations. Even though the B-P synod was finally dissolved in 1988 due to differences in doctrinal position, the pastor is remembered for the spiritual legacy and posterity he has left behind.

The Rev Tow inculcated in his members the importance of doctrinal integrity in such a way that it did not hinder their spiritual growth but in fact formed a firm basis for their further theological growth.

Recalled the Rev Peter Eng, pastor of the former Antioch Bible-Presbyterian Church, “During an age of theological compromise, he sounded a clarion call to hold on to absolutes, to doctrinal integrity, and eternal values. I gladly responded to that call. At the same time, he planted in me the declaration of the Westminster Confession that my conscience cannot be bound by any person – not even his teachings. The passage of time and input from various sources have led me to develop my theology. But his core teachings remain true. The reality of absolutes stand against the flood of postmodern relativism. Doctrinal integrity is essential to true faith. Some values are eternal, and temporal gains can never justify the abrogation of an eternal good.”

The Rev Eng, now leading a web-based Bible resource ministry that aims to bridge the Bible and its times with the present day, remembers the Rev Tow as the founder of a spiritual if no longer physical denomination, one where God is the Lord of the conscience and where this freedom of the conscience allowed for its churches to disengage and “unfettered us for more dynamic service” resulting in “true spiritual gain”.

In terms of his spiritual influence, the Rev Tow has directly impacted tens of thousands in Bible-Presbyterian churches scattered throughout Singapore, Malaysia and beyond, and indirectly affected hundreds of thousands, according to the Rev Eng.

The Rev Dr Timothy Tow Siang Hui is survived by his second wife Ivy Tan, three sons and three daughters, three grandsons, five granddaughters and four great-grandsons. His first wife Nancy Loh passed away in 1965. Two children, one son and one daughter, have passed away.

A cripple man with his horses

Polo is a team sport played on horseback in which the objective is to score goals against an opposing team. Riders score by driving a small white plastic or wooden ball into the opposing team's goal using a long-handled mallet. The traditional sport of polo is played at speed on a large grass field up to 300 yards in length, and each polo team consists of four riders and their mounts.

A 50 years old man with a crippled leg and a crippled hand, with a blinded eye, had made a ridiculous request, he was requesting the polo team manager, to make him to be a key player in his team, a horse rider in the polo game, to compete in the coming Olympic.

The cripple man quarreled with the team director, Tunku Rah, with a royal prince hood, and the cripple man said to Tunkurah, "I can tame all the horses with my one leg and one arm, with my one finger, i can score for your team. Do not worry about my cripple, I am stronger than all the players in the arena. Sure I can. You just have to wait and see."

Tunkurah told the cripple man, "You better take care of yourself and your wives first, before you can become a horse rider. Go, feed all the horses in the barn, do not just keep taring at their skins, go now, do not be lazy any more. They are hungry. I will give you a chance when the time is come."

The cripple man was not happy with Tunku_rah, so he left him for a moment, later he came back, and worked in the horse barn. Two years after that, since Tunku_rah was a good man, he gave the cripple man a chance in the team, but his manager disliked Tunku_rah's decision in making the cripple man as a key player in his team.

The crippled man was a lazy and greedy man, he became proud, when he was hungry, he cut 30% of the fresh from the horses' leg, and cooked and eat it, and sleep with many wives. And and he had many sons called conies, and all the fine horses were eaten by the crippled man.

What happened to the polo team, Tunku_Rah's polo team lose in many games. Tunku_Rah regretted in his decision in allowing the cripple man to be a player in his team. Tunku_rah, later was forced to resign from the team, and later he become a business man. The cripple man later become rich, after he found a fortune hidden underground at the back of his house, he than taken over the polo team, and he become the team director and also the team manager. The previous manager was sacked because he disliked the cripple man.

The cripple man told a lie to his grandson, "Because I loved riding the fine horse, and one day I fell off the horse, broke my leg and crippled myself." In our Bible, God said every thing in the world can be tamed, one thing man cannot tame, it is the tongue, no one one can tame the tongue!

"But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." (James 3:8) If we said we are religious, firstly, we must tame our tongue!

This is applying to us and also applying to the theologians who say that they had found the perfect Bible, in the underlying TR, Greek and Hebrew texts of the KJV....They said, "This is the one and only Bible, we must put our trust into. If you do not put your trust into this perfect TR, you do not believe the Bible is perfect...Your faith is crippled without the perfect TR!"

My oh my...

X-35 JSF

Elements of the F-35 design were pioneered by the F-22 Raptor. The F-35 appears to be a trimmer and sleeker one-engine sibling of the two-engine F-22. The exhaust duct design was inspired by the General Dynamics Model 200, a 1972 VTOL aircraft designed for the Sea Control Ship. Lockheed had a teaming relationship with the Yakovlev Design Bureau on their bid for the Joint Advanced Strike Technology competition. This has fueled speculation that the overall design of the F-35 was heavily influenced by the Yak-141, however, the two aircraft are very different.

Stealth technology makes the aircraft hard to detect as it approaches short-range tracking, although its rear is much more easily spotted, because of the circular unshielded exhaust nozzle.

Some specific improvements over current-generation fighter aircraft are:

* Durable, low-maintenance stealth technology;
* Integrated avionics and sensor fusion that combine information from off- and onboard sensors to increase the pilot's situational awareness and improve identification and weapon delivery, and to relay information quickly to other command and control (C2) nodes;
* Low life-cycle costs.

Although helmet-mounted display systems have already been integrated into some fourth-generation fighters like the Swedish-manufactured JAS 39 Gripen, the F-35 will be the first modern combat aircraft in which helmet-mounted displays will replace a heads-up display altogether.

Never trust the brown the colored face

Do not trust

Do not trust the "brown colored face," if the "brown colored face" cannot be trusted, so do not put all your trust in them! That simple. They are playing a game on the yellow colored faces since long time ago. If you putting your trust and your future in the brown colored face now, you are asking for troubles. Now and even in the future. Because they did not respect you and they will not appreciated your votes or your elected candidates. So withdraw from joining any component party in the next election, for the time being stay put with them, let them show all the shows they are playing at the people. Persevere and long suffering for a moment.

Unite the yellow colored face first, if not ...we are weaken in the games.

The yellow colored faces are better to united and form an new independence party for the next election. Politically and financially. They have to form an new union among and for the yellow colored faces, in this they will become stronger and more united, in the next election, they are speaking for the yellow colored faces, since the brown colored faces are speaking only for the brown colored faces so far, so the yellow colored faces may draw some votes from the yellow colored face in the next election, and when their candidates are elected, they may be requested to form a majority with other parties, they also may form a ruling party with other party component, to become a majority, to form the new govement. Then, they will be appreciated in this way, they will be respected in as an independent party, do not join in any component party in the beginning, if we are not respected, our voice are not listened. Since we still have a few votes now, it is better for us to withdraw from all those vain components, let us speak for the needs of the yellow colored faces. This is not racist, but this is to take care of the yellow colored faces. And then in the later time we may talk about one country, one people! How can the yellow faces betray the yellow colored faces, who will going to respect them any longer? Who will speak for them?

We must not join a corrupted component party.

When a ship is on fire, if you cannot save the ship, even the king and the queen on board also must have to jump from the ship, let the captain goes down with the empty ship, if he wanted to die with the ship, let him die with the broken ship. Rather we build another ship, where we can sail further, and let our kings and queens to be covered from the rains and hot sun, may God open his eyes to see the truth, and the truth will set him free, if there is a future in building a new ship, if God is willing, may God save our kings and the queens. Long live our kings and queens, Amen. May our kings and queen be respected and live, even in well being. Long live the kings and queens. Amen.

My sons, work these things out in our mind, not just waiting for the rabbit to fall down from the sky, for us to toast in the BBQ!

Even until this moment I write this...

Lord, remember us, we are the weak, the sorrows flooded us, we had fallen down, we have no hope in this world, but there is hope in You, the pain induced our minds, the problems blinded my eyes, the attacks from the devils do not stop even until this hour, then in You, we have the strength, please help us, and protect us from the evils and harms. Please bless our family, our sons and daughters, our country and our lives.

In Jesus' Name, I prayed. Amen.
