0150. Spiritual Gifts (2008.0427)

As usual, Pastor Wei asked whoever returned to Vancouver must brought spiritual gifts. After my vacation ends, someone asked me what I had shared. What I prepared was not exactly what I said and I couldn't remember exactly what I said either. So this post will list the points I had prepared.

1. Expert = Earnest (Take seriously)
. Day April 26th of Daily Manna by Hans R. Waldvogel: Lots of people fail in the crisis times in their lives because they are not stored with the Word.
. Starting from May 5th of 2005, I, together with sisters in the church, memorize Bible verses. We use the must-remember list from Pastor Tsao. We test each other each Sunday though we may postpone for some situations.
. I used to memorize Bible verses while commuting, before I moved to current location.
. Also listening to God's word while working.

2. Recently, we are talking about victorious life in Shi-Lin
. See things as none of my business; I will not be affected whatever others have been.
. Do not play or do business with God, but God does play chess with us.
. What are the principles which I should hold firmly and not altered easily - Those principles will reduce the misunderstanding and confusion of understanding God's will.
. Bitterness is drinking the poison myself and waiting for my opposite to die.
. Our past is like our own museum. There are quite a few things we lock in the storage room cause we didn't want people to see them. Usually, those locked in the storage are the moments that we don't want to remember. However, those memories will escape from the storage room from time to time. Those memories do not have power over us when we can put them into the show room for others to appreciate. If we want to get away those memories, the fastest way is replacing them with new and beautiful memories.
