Thanks Zhonghua for this message.

I think everyone should read this.

This story is called "Refiner of Silver"

There was a group of women in a Bible study on the book of Malachi.

As they were studying chapter 3, they came across verse 3, which said.

"He will sit as a refiner & purifier of silver."

This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible study.

That week this women called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work.

She didnt mention anything about her reason for her interest in silver beyond her curiousity about the process of refining silver.

As she watched the silversmith; he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up.

He explained that in refining silver, 1 needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were the hottest as to burn away all the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot.

Then she thought again about the verse, that he sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.

She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.

The man replied,"Yes." He not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire.

If the silver was left even a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment.

Then she asked the silversmith,"How do you know when the silver is fully refined?"

He smiled at her and answered,"Oh that's easy. When I see my image in it."

Malachi 3:3 "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."

GOD IF I AM NOT GOING TO HONOR YOU WHENEVER I USE THE COMPUTER.

THEN I AM NOT GOING TO USE TO IT!

JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL.

Isn’t it interesting that in Acts 11, at the end of verse 26, it says, “The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.”

What I find interesting is the simple thought that the Christians didn’t name themselves. But rather, they were called (or named) “Christians” by those watching their lives. I wonder if it would be the same today. Could someone look at your life or look at my life and name me a Christian?

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."

1 John 3:18

Had sakae today.

Sushi, sushi, sushi.

Sashimi sashimi sashimi!

Thank God for the presentation for my GEMS.

I really thank God for putting me in position where I can tell more people about my culture.

Even for my mum who is so enthu about me telling everyone about her cooking. Haha.

Sometimes I just have so much desire to bring my friends to Christ.

But I have so much fear.

God let the SUN STAND STILL NOW!

And let the dream come to past.

So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his ENTIRE ARMY, including ALL THE BEST FIGHTING MAN.

The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”

After an ALL-NIGHT MARCH from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise.

The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, so Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.

As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them, and MORE OF THEM DIED FROM THE HAIL THAN WERE KILLED BY THE SWORDS OF THE ISRAELITES.

On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel:

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
¹³ So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

The SUN STOPPED in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.

There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a human being. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!

Then Joshua returned with ALL Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

Joshua 10:7-15 (NIV) (Self Emphasis)

Want to win a victory in your life?

Start by praying a AUDACIOUS prayer.

Then take an AUDACIOUS step of faith by AUDACIOUS ACTION.

it may be the longest ALL NIGHT walk you may have to do.

But it will be worth while.

Remember God's promise to Joshua was that do NOT be afraid of them. Not a single one of them will be able to withstand you.

And God is promising us the exact same thing.

TobyMac - Tonight

awesome song!

Tonight - Toby Mac

If you want to experience God it starts tonight!

If you want to want more it starts tonight!

Tonight is a new opportunity.

Tonight is a gift & blessing.

Tonight may be the last tonight.

So tonight I give you my all!

HAPPY 2011!

If 2010 was good for you.

I pray 2011 will be the best year you ever had.

I was looking back on 2010.

It struck me that I started out by scraping through it.

But as time progressed, I refocused.

Thank GOD for it.

Things really did change.

I was no longer the Dharmen I was in 2010.

In 2011,

I want to become more like the Dharmen that God wants me to be.

Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.

Psalms 2:10-11

Wow. It's been forever since I posted something on this blog.

I really want to start posting all over again.

btw,

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Awesome song.
I really loved it when I was in primary school. (Ok now thats a long time ago.)

" .... mission is also a time when you face another breakthrough in your spiritual walk, is a time when you walk out of your comfort zone and also in your mind you are just so desperate to share the gospel to them and keep depending on the Holy Spirit all day long...."

As all of you would know I am on my way to my FIRST ever mission trip.

To where you may ask.

CHINAAAAAA!

Just as how Solomon decided to make the temple for God in 1 Kings.

I want to prepare myself. Not relying on myself but on God.

When Solomon made plans, he executed it cause he knew that it was God's will to establish the Temple.

And it really did please God and He saw the motive and desire.

As I head for China in 20days.

I want to prepare for God to work.
Because I know He will.

Sacrifice and serving are hard, but the reward is beautiful.

I was just clicking through my iPhone and I decided to listen to this song.

Really like it man.

F.I.S.H

I want to tell you people something.

Throughout the past few days,

I realised that I am a very visual person.

I LOVE pictures cause words scare me.

I imagine the scene of Bible Stories.

From David killing Goliath.

I draw pictures in my mind of my future.

Ranging from my future car (still in the process) to my future wife (oops.. did I say that) hahaha.

Well I hope you get the idea.

So thats little more about Dharmen!

Now is the time to bang the doors down.

Bang and knock till you see changes.
Tear down all the walls that is holding you back.
Never give up. Cause God is listening.
Listening to your heart beat. To your thoughts.
Wake God up. Cause He wants to be woken up by the shout of creation.

I have it been giving it a thought these few days.

And I just felt blogging thoughts each day would be a check on my Spiritual walk with God.
Not forgetting an update of my life.
To anyone who is still reading my blog.
Thank you! You rock. You know how awesome you are XD.



After FOP, which was just amazing.
The speaker and word of God was just so simple yet so much powerful.

It's time to start meeting the needs of our community & our society.
Isn't it just like the presents?
When we give presents to people, they will definitely be contented.
And they will turn you down at first but after a while of persistent begging, they will receive your love.
Isn't meeting needs just as simple but so powerful.
It definitely is a step of faith, out of your comfort zone.
But is so impact-full.

cool eh? A is for Apple.

I somehow just clicked onto my friends blog.

And the things he posted.

Just made me dwell in my thoughts.

I started drifting away in the past.

I couldn't help but to reminisce the past man.

Even though it may be lame to some.

But scouts did play a great role in my life.

Not forgetting my red, blue & gold.

Nothing will whipe that away.

Without any of them, I dare to say

I wouldn't be here.

TODAY I just did my first ever test.

Thank God for it.

Great friends.Great place.Epic moments haha.

I have to say.

God really deserves all praise.

School is already in its 5week and God has always been present.

I have an awesome class.

Awesome friends.

With Christ in the picture, I have a hope.

And I have faith to believe.

And Yes I am back to School.

After 4 months of long waiting.

4 months of drama and emotions.

Here it comes.

Jesus did everything with a purpose to make each day count.

Let this be a new chapter.

With a good purpose.

Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that." He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

John 1:50-51.

Isn't Jesus talking about the future of Peter?

How bright it is.

Just like the stars which are millions of miles away.

Yet we can look at it each night and be amazed.

Isn't it the same with ourselves?

It seems to me from the verse that Peter definitely would shocked and mesmerized at such big plans Jesus spoke to Him.

When it comes to us.

How willing are we to head to His plan.

To understand and appreciate it.

God, I have nothing more than this. So wouldn't you use my 2 loaves 5 fishes for your glory?

Today I was definitely inspired by stairs.

I was walking up the stairs to my place.

And I was noticing my motion.

When it comes to the first step, I usually take it cautiously.

I stop and pause before laying my feet on the solid ground.

Upon lifting up the next

I HAVE to be certain of the ground.

As I step.

I start taking 2 steps and gaining momentum.

Until I reach the end.

And when I reach the end.

The cycle repeats itself.

Isn't our life pretty much the same?

We are on a LONG.

Sometimes twirly, sometimes narrow.

Sometimes predictable yet questionable.

Sometimes uncertain but still faithful.

fleet of stairs.

When we start a floor of stairs,

we never start with booming results.

We begin cautiously.

And when we get into the hang of things,

momentum gains,

and we thrust into a 2 step glide.

God is my foundation on the stairs.

Each step definitely will have to be a step of faith.

who knows how things will work out?

but I go with a heart of Expectation.

here I am. preparing to set into a new culture.

Happy 40th Birthday Mum!

How many times in your life are you 40?

And how great is it but to celebrate it with 2 AWESOME sons. haha.

I am sorry for not getting any present.

But I will make it up to you mum.

Being the best son I can to you.

Excelling even in studies.

But I was just wondering.

Since when did cakes become so nice.

they look so fabulous.

Honestly I have never seen such nice cakes in my waking moments.

Have you?

beauty begins when you allow change to flow from the interior to the exterior.
