Welcome to PJGH

All Aboard the PJGH Family Express

PJGH recently held their Family Day and what a blast it was! Members were divided into 6 teams and were tasked with earning points for their team through the various activities held. The multipurpose hall was transformed into a Games Galore, where members, both the young and young-at-heart tried their hands (and legs!) at the interactive Wii World, featuring games such as Guitar Hero, Wii Tennis and Dance, Dance Revolution. There were also board games staples such as Scrabble, Chess, Boggle and Monopoly for those who prefer to use their brains instead of brawn.

Highlight of the day was the PJGH re-enactment of the popular Iron Chef series, with our very own ‘PJGH Wok Wars’. Six ‘Iron Chefs’, together with their team, battled it out to create a main course and dessert featuring the secret ingredient – OKRA (or ladies fingers). It was pretty interesting and amusing to see the teams trying to creatively incorporate the secret ingredient into their dishes especially the desserts. Some were very innovative and it took a group of brave judges to sample the dishes created.

The children were not forgotten as they had the Mission House all to themselves. The Mission House was transformed into a Children’s Dreamland, complete with a bouncy castle and wading pool! The children also tried their hands at cupcake and cookie decorating and watched the movie ‘UP’ at our very own PJGH cinema.

Needless to say, the Committee also made sure the members were well-fed because what is a Malaysian party without food? Care & Share groups brought their own goodies for tea break and there were more than enough to go around. The famous ‘Cendol Man’ from SS15 (pls verify) was also brought in for a special tea-time treat and members made a beeline or the cendol.

Dinner was a grand affair of Malaysian hawker favourites ranging from the very popular Char Kuey Teow to staples like Tosai and Satay.

Overall, the PJGH family enjoyed a great day together and kudos to the Organising Committee for a job well done!

Choose The Good Part And Profit

“... I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go.

Isaiah 48:17

God instructs us for our own benefit. He wants us to profit in every area of our lives health, finances, career, marriage and family relationships. The Bible says that it is God who teaches us to profit. And it is He who leads us in the way that we should go.

God always has our best interests at heart. We only have to sit at His feet, listen to His Word and just have fresh, daily communion with Him, and He will make our way prosperous.

But we are constantly bombarded with things to do every day, like sending the kids to school, attending a business meeting or making a sales presentation. Likewise, in church, there are just as many important things to attend to— ministering to the needy, reaching out to the lost and healing the sick. But you know what? All these things will be taken care of when we sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His Word.

What was the Lord’s response to Martha’s complaint that her sister was sitting at His feet and listening to Him, instead of helping her with the many tasks? “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41–42)

Yet, many of us are like Martha. We worry about many things. And we are so busy that we have no time to sit at Jesus’ feet to listen to His Word and enjoy communion with Him. When we fail to draw from Him, we end up running on our own strength, and relying on our own flesh and wisdom to get things done. Listen, you can never have a plan that is better than God’s!

My friend, do you want to be led by God’s wisdom and timing in your decision-making? Then, make it a point to choose the good part like Mary did. Spend time with Jesus, open your Bible and say, “Lord, speak to me.” You will find that your heavenly Father takes care of your troubles, and teaches and leads you to profit!

Read The Good News Today!

"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."

Matthew 6:33

God doesn’t want you grabbing the newspaper first thing in the morning and reading all the bad news in the world. He knows that if you do that, your heart will be full of cares, anxieties and even fears. This happened to a mother who read in the newspaper that children from China studying in our local schools were becoming top students. She wrote to the press, voicing her concerns about the stiff competition her child would face from these students, even for the top jobs in Singapore in the future.

Our Source of Hope

Encouragement can come from many sources, but the foundation of our strength and hope is always the unchangeable Word of God. For centuries, families have depended on the truth of Scripture to guide them in matters of faith, in the nuances of daily life, and during times of trouble. The Bible provides encouragement for the trials of today as we anticipate the joy of the hereafter.

The apostle Paul, no stranger to adversity, said to the Roman church, “Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” (Romans 15:4). David, one of the great heroes of the Bible, also faced many hardships – some of his own making. In these times of distress, he repeatedly turned to the Lord and His laws for deliverance: “May your love and your truth always protect me. For troubles without number surround me” (Psalm 40:11-12). The Psalms, in fact, are wonderful examples of praise and inspiration for moments of fear, insecurity, or doubt.

In our struggles as parents and as Christians, we would be wise to choose God’s Word as our first option for lifting our spirits. It contains the blessed hope that brings meaning to every thought and every moment.

Thought for the Week:

The Two Ways

Enter through the narrow gate….that leads to life and there are few who find it.

Matthew 7:13-14

The way that is broad is easy, attractive, inclusive, permissive and self-oriented way of the world. It has few rules, few restrictions and few requirements. All you need to do is profess Jesus or at least seem religious and you’ll be accepted into the group.

The narrow way is the hard and demanding way – the way of self-denial and the cross. When Jesus was asked,”Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” He replied, “Strive to enter though the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Lk 13 : 23 – 24).The Greek word for strive indicates that entering the door to God’s kingdom takes conscious, purposeful and intense effort.

The narrow way is for those who wants God’s kingdom at any cost. Make sure that you are following Christ as Lord along that narrow way. We certainly live amid a “broad way” mentality but Christ has shown us otherwise that we should live on His Word and ways.

We thank Thee, O blessed Master,that Thou hast forgiven us our sins and has made us Thine forever through your precious blood. Amen.
