Oysters- din really like them though, but i dont really like hum, mussels,
Tiramisu for desert - one of the better standard tiramisu i have tried, but prob because i'm not really a cake person.So it was a fulfiling meal and Pastor preached a really solid message today. The message which he shared has so much solid stuff that i took out my laptop to type while He shared. I would not think that the space on the notes which he gave has enough space for it. Spiritually, it acts as a pacifier for me. Its really a tough week for me and i got more to face this coming week, and the presence of God just clothe me like a pacifier is to a baby.I'm glad i came.

LESSON 21 : THE NARROW WAY
Saturday, September 01, 2007
6:14 PM
Being a real believer requires you to make a choice
In this christian life, there is no abstaining of choosing
Matt 7:15 Jesus is warning of presence of clear danger, of false prophets because they really exist
Jesus says that in the end times there will be people that will lead people astray
God doesn’t want us to be simpleton and gullible
A false prophet claims to have hear from God and is promoting a lie, an untruth
False Prophets Characteristics:
They will say peace and there is no peace
False teachers have been saying the same thing over and over again, instead allowing the church to be in a false sense of peace
Experts in blurring the area
They make it hard for people to pursue the narrow way
They teach the narrow way is actually the broad way
Wolves are dangerous because they are disguised like sheeps
False teacher will never ask people to come with their true intentions
Sheeps have one of the smallest brain amongst animals
Sheeps forgets their direction every single day
Beware what lies under its fleece, is it a sheep or wolf
To recognise that, check out its fruits
Everyone will manifest its own nature
What are the fruits to inspect in a prophet or teacher?
- Man
If you don’t see te attributes of the fruit of the spirit, most probably he is an imposter.
- Message
Sooner or later, the false prophet's true natiure will come forth
Come and ask yourself whether it is inline with the word of God
Berea Christians checked what Paul said is inline with what the bible says
Our loyalty to church cannot be greater to your love for God
Our loyalty to the pastor cannot be greater to our love for God
- Influence
Matt 17:17-20
What kind of fruit does this false prophets produce. What kind of disciples does he raise up?
Do they lack spiritual discipline
Are they honest people and of consecration
Do they love God whole heartedly and people fervently
False prophet brings forth a dangerous message because the truth matters
You cant build a church on a lie
You can build your Christian life on a lie
There will be heresies that that be promoting lawlessness
Matt 17:20-23
Pastor Kong came from a legalistic upbringing
In the end times, the bigger danger is not legalism but lawlessness
The broad way that leads to destruction is antinomianism
Anti: Against
Nomos: Laws
The system of heresy associated with lawlessness is Antinomianism
Antinomian do not want or believe the ten commandments
They often quote that the law is through Moses and law and grace is through Jesus.
But the moral la of God is the moral values of God
The moral law of God is the 10 commandments
Jesus came to fulfil the law-- Matt5:17
The law of Moses was just the messenger, he did not create the law. It was created by God
Moses has no power but Jesus gave us the good news and the grace to obey the law
- Grace does not absolve is from the 10 commandments
Romans 5: 20-21 Whenever there is sin around, God's grace is able to give us the power to overcome them
Antinomian quote that the more sin we commit, the more grace we will receive
Giving ourselves the reason to sin is just a lame excuse
Romans 6:14 "not under law but under grace"
Paul anticipated this danger Romans6:15
Just because you are a good driver doesn’t mean that you don’t need highway code
- Grace is not the license to sin
You can have grace abuse- you can distort grace from something beautiful to something destructive
A lot of antinomian believe that God's forgiveness allow us to lead immoral life
- Grace does not absolve us from confession
To condone an evil is simply to ignore it, to treat it as if it were good…a man who admits no guilt can accept no forgiveness- C.S Lewis
Forgiveness can only be present when there is genuine desire to repent from sin
Alcoholics have to admit that they are alcoholic otherwise they cant come out of it
- Grace does not absolve us from sanctification
1Thess 4:3 growing towards holiness is something that requires a lifetime
False preachers will feel that there is no need for sanctification
Promises: bible promises
Us: Christians
- Grace does not excuse us from works
Antinomians like to quote Ephesians 2 :8
True faith produces actions
Bible gives us the 7 pillars of Faith
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that,
- Denying ungodliness
- Worldly lust
- Live soberly
- Live righteously
- Godly
- Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearance in front of God our saviour in all things
We are created for good works and as people of destiny
The true Christian life is one of holiness and purity
The true Christian lives responsibly Before God
Where did u get saved the first place
If you want to cont in sin, you wont want to be saved at all.
