Joining Redemption Hill

In the short time that I've been blogging, I've written about coming to gospel-centered convictions, mulled how these convictions are best worked out in the context of a local church, ranted (sinfully) at the lack of such a church here, laid out some desirable characteristics of how such a church may look like, and shared about meeting Simon and visiting Redemption Hill (here, here and here).

After a couple of months of (difficult and emotional) thinking, praying, talking to different people, and arguing even.. in seeking after God's will.. We've decided to trust God, and take a step of faith by joining Simon (and gang) in building Redemption Hill Church. Knowing some sense of "the hope to which he has called", "the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints", and "the immeasurable greatness of his power" (Ephesians 1:18-19), with quiet confidence in Our Lord Jesus Christ, but now knowing what the future will hold, we want to follow where He leads.. Pray for us, as we humbly seek to glorify Christ with our lives! :-)

Thanks for the kind words Joshua. Heh, can't keep singing U2's "still haven't found what I'm looking for", but I think we'll always be singing that in some form or another till Jesus comes again! Pray for us, we really do need it :-)

Hi, we finally meet (but not in CEFC -hah!).

Did not realize you had joined RDC. See that both you and Simon are U2 fans - make that three (though I've stopped listening to them for quite some time)!

Hi Beng, was good to see you in RHC this morning, hope the service was ok =) you look kind of different from your blog profile, and yes, it was good to meet in person.. long story about CEFC.. :-) and yes, U2 songs are cool! we used 'beautiful day' for our wedding recessional.. must admit i'm a bit disappointed with 'no line on the horizon' though..
