At Kitchen's Fellowship today, apart from the fantastic Sunquick chicken by Karen, the "poop" soup and also the wonderful fellowship, we got a taste on faith. True faith is being obedient to God even if it means sacrificing something precious for God. Rahab was a good example shown in the Bible regarding true faith. She was a Gentile, a prostitute and also a liar but she knew who God was. She knew that He brought out the Israelites from Egypt, parted the Red Sea and right now they are outside Jericho waiting to take over what was promised by God, the Promised Land. She showed true faith by risking her life just to keep the spies in hiding and lowering them through the window so that they could escape. What would you do in a situation like this? Keeping your life out of fear or putting into action the faith that lives within you.
Remember that Rahab does not know anything about God, all the information she got is only through hearing but she praise God and knew that He is the Lord above in heaven and also on the earth beneath. Therefore, as you have listened and have accepted the good news, put this living faith into action for faith without action is dead.
In the end, it was a great night. Thanks to the "poop" soup. Haha.

About Me
- Matthew Wong
- Believing that dining on the table is a sacrament as people come together to enjoy a simple meal; not differentiating culture and nation.
Half-Hearted Creatures
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased.
- C.S Lewis
All gracious affections that are a sweet odor to Christ, and that fill the soul of a Christian with a heavenly sweetness and fragrancy, are broken hearted affections. A truly Christian love, either to God or men, is a humble broken hearted love. The desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires. Their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable, and full of glory, is a humble broken hearted joy, and leaves the Christian more poor in spirit; and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behavior.
