Intensive Biblical Studies

Intensive Biblical Studies (19-30/10/2009)

Staff of MCCC needs to stop their ministry for a while to prepare their heart for two weeks intensive biblical studies - “Inductive Bible Study” and “Transforming Leadership”. These courses are very helpful to Christian living. The former talks about how we can study the Word of God in a systematic way, the latter is to help Christian build a habit to walk intimately with God. I was assigned to be one of the courses assistant. Most of the night, I was burning the midnight oil in order to finish marking the papers, and give out papers before a new lesson began. My physical and mental were over-strained. When the course was over, my body was giving red signal. Through this experience, God reminds me that His grace is sufficient for everyone. I do no

t need to compete with time nor to exact myself harshly trying to finish things entrusted to me. God knows our needs. He will provide help on time.

A Review on “Pilgrim Progress” Movie Version

One of the assignments for Transfo

rming Leadership Biblical Study is to watch John Bunyan’s Pilgrim Progress. It is an inspirational story where the author gives a blueprint for Christian what to expect in their pilgrim progress. What the main character in the narratives went through, such as challenges, difficulties, trials and failures in life, we also have similar experiences in life. Though we may be like Christian (the name of the main character) defeated by satan and worried, at times. But God is in control. If Christian perseveres, trusts and obeys God’s Word, cries out to God for help, God will deliver him and grant him strength, comfort, wisdom and grace to move on. In the end, he will enter the promised land. Micah 7:8 “Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I

have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.”
