When God Wants to Drill a Man

When God wants to drill a man
And thrill a man
And skill a man,
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His Heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses
And with every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendour out -
God knows what He's about!

Grateful for Our Mentor

We are thankful for our journey in CDPC Puchong which started since 2014 and it has been a chapter in our lives where our calling is being clarified. When it comes to discovering God's calling on your life, we realize that the voice of the Lord often resonates through the counsel, encouragement and also the admonishment from His people.

Thank you Pastor Wong for being that shepherd who gently leads us along the path of what it means to be a follower of the Great Shepherd Himself. Calling is not possible without the cost of discipleship - it is the coupling of purpose and passion. We pray that Pastor Wong's sabbatical period this season will indeed draw him closer to the Lord's purpose and passion for his life and ministry.

Pastor Wong - Let's continue to exchange theological and exegetical notes ...

Please pray for us
With July 11 around the corner, we are definitely "feeling it"! Please pray for practical wisdom and administrative skills as we start to pack up and also re-order our present home for the new tenant. Also, there is a fair bit of paperwork to settle as well (bills, income tax, bank accounts, etc) - would also appreciate your prayer support in this area as well.

Joseph & Debra.
