通过这本书《成长人生》及在牧师的带领下，我们一起学习如何离开属灵婴孩的阶段，进入学像基督的历程，以实践为路径，在经年累月中成长、成熟。欢迎大家前来参加!

January has come and gone. What actually comes to your mind as you reflect on the messages, the events that took place and the repeated impressions you have received from your fellowship with God's people? As for me, this is what I see:

First foremost, we are God’s building in which we are living stones build up together in Christ. "you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (I Peter 2:5 NKJV) What this means is, we have one foundation - that is Christ and we are to stay connected, so as to be an offering, holy and acceptable to God.

Second, the leadership has a definite consciousness of the roles of the Holy Spirit, for we know that it is 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6,NKJV).  Knowing that the Holy Spirit is always at work in us hence all we need is simply replace our energy by giving Him room through obedience, faith and joy.

Third, it's about beholding Christ. Consider Him as we imitate Him, build up in Him and will result in our transformation but with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror  the glory of the Lord,  are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as  by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV)

In conclusion, it’s evident that iron sharpens iron so, let us empower one another to be conformed in the image of Christ through edifying and comforting one another. We certainly are not able to do this in our own strength but allowing the Spirit to dwell in us and to lead us while we keep our focus on Christ, "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,  let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares  us,  and  let us run  with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the  author and  finisher of  our  faith,  who for the joy that was set before Him  endured the cross, despising the shame, and  has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:1, 2 NKJV)

The New Beginning

The Lunar New Year has just passed. We can have a new beginning because we finished well. These 4Fs may appear negative but they work towards finishing well.

1. Forget Not God's blessings. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:" (Psalms 103:2 NKJV) Our LCEC Chairman shared on the milestone the church has been through, we see and thank God for the followings:

- Prayer focus at LCEC Retreat

- Pentecost Sunday when the Holy Spirit is so evidently present in our services

- Power of unity with numerous combined services among all congregations

- Providing generously to the needy that overshot our targeted amount.

2. Flight Not because of evil doers. "For you shall not go out with haste, Nor go by flight;  For the  Lord  will go before you,  And the God of Israel will  be your rear guard." (Isaiah 52:12 NKJV) Be still and know that I am God. Set aside quality time for Silence and Solitude to recognise His presence that will make a difference in our response during spiritual warfare.

3. Fear not but be strong and be of good courage as we embark on the tasks before us, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but  you  shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8 NKJV). The WORD will be the principles of our practises.

4. Faint not as we wait upon Him, "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV) we will continue to make this church to be a house of prayer and we will not allow any obstacles to discourage or make us grow weary.

Let's face the future with God's agenda in mind as we guard our hearts of these 4Fs ie, Forget not God’s blessings, Flight not because of evil doers, Fear not to embark on the task before us and Faint not as we wait upon the Lord.  "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." (Proverbs 4:23 NKJV)
