FWC 2011...

What is truth??? In this current era, most of things we see are relative to something else, so how are we basing our judgment on??? And knowing how foolish we are, how can you even know what you're judging is correct, and maybe what you're basing on is also wrong as well...

So then, what really is truth??? Do you even bother to know it??? As I have said earlier, we are flawed beings, so if we are to know truth based on what we know or experience then it will be very subjective and hence becomes relative again isn't it???

If there isn't any transcendency to reveal all these, then we will still be stucked in our own fantasy of relativism right??? And we are all products of modernity, meaning influenced by culture and all kind of stuffs so then it just proves that we can never really trust our very own judgment because culture is made by you and me...

Therefore in the end, God alone is THE TRUTH because He is transcendent and yet He fully revealed Himself through the bible and Jesus Christ... Well, I wish I can tell more about it but I still have to work on it because I still can't fully grasp it yet...

And my view of ministry has just changed... Before FWC, I thought that there was only prosperity gospel which is heretical, but then what I found in FWC is that heresies can be as subtle as like saying that all these are for God-glorifying purposes, but in the end it isn't... It just depresses and scares me to know that this world is just getting more gloomy and dark...

Well, another thing I've learnt is that ministry is not just about bible-preaching but you are also building that person's theological framework... Theology, Reflections, Practice is what I need to make as a habit!!!

All these are bits and pieces of what I learnt from FWC- The Gospel and Truth right after exam on Thursday till Saturday... I shall never forget these 3 days I had in 'heaven'!!! Seeing so many gospel-centered evangelicals especially people from FOCUS, Australia just gives you a glimpse of light that there are still some people out there who's on your side in preaching the gospel and doing God's faithful ministry but then, it just ain't enough!!!

I pray that I can see more growth in people to come to realization that THE TRUTH needs to be shared because it is THE Truth not A Truth!!!
