Gosh, i will be busy for the coming few weeks. I somehow landed in the publicity committee for 'Vision Tea 2005'; and both the publicity and logisitics committee for the Matriculation Fair 2005. How on earth did I landed myself in such a situation, .... .... i am still confused myself... hahahaha....
Well, i've got to take up six modules the next semester, of which 3 are core, that means i have to choose 3 more for myself. *sigh* I don't like it when i have to choose modules. I am usually very undecisive about these kind of stuff, which makes choosing all the more difficult, plus i have to worry about the modules' requirements...

Hungry
Today, the church's having a fast again, praying for our Arise and Build campaign and for a new premise in the 'Marketplace'. Well, hunger has struck me again, 'rubbish bin' is kind of empty right now, hahahs... Watched New York City's IOC presentation just now and i must say it's pretty impressive, showcasing the city's vigour, vibrance and multi-cultural background. The sad thing is i missed Paris' presentation, *argh*, that's the city i am rooting for!! Well, i am planning to watch London's presentation at 4pm. later, and go for my bible study after that.
Re-read my sheepish sis's blog, and Mel, it's a long entry there .... and i regret telling you that i am not going for the youth day event at your church but most certainly i don't and won't regret telling you this : Please refrain from using the word 'funky', i'm 'allergic' to it... hahaha ....
And the game Utopia starts in 11 mins!!

Baptism in Holy Spirit cont.
Just a really short summary here... ...
1 Cor 12; Paul is talking about the different workings in the church. After baptism in the Holy Spirit, all can speak in tongues but however not all are appointed to function in the ministry gifts of tongues. - for the edification of the church.
The Bible makes a clear distinction between 2 different words, the dorea(gk.) 'gift' and charisma 'gift'.
In 1 Cor 12, the 'gift' of tongues is referring to the charisma 'gift' and with interpretation, their purpose is to edify the body of Christ. All believers can receive the dorea 'gift' if they desired it.
Although we can speak in tongues after we are baptised in the Holy Spirit, we may not be given the charisma gift of tongues by the Spirit for the edification of the church. (That's what 1Cor 12:30 is talking about)
We can use this dorea gift of tongues as our 'prayer language' for personal edification and for God to hear. Only He needs to understand.
Probably, i will write about how to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit in my next update.
