its june!

yeah here it is... new month.. so fast huh..

i am starting to get "jelat" of chem.. need ta take 5.. so here i am ! haihx. classes tomo.. again.. yeah..monday blues..

well... i finally went to church for the 1st time here.. my christian lecturers took me... i was kinda in a culture shock due to a few reasons.

1. They sang hymns. real old ones. and they read through b4 singin.. and someone random just picked up a guitar and strummed a tune. nobody cared if it was out or anything. and 70% there were young people.
2. They had only like 15-20 ppl in that gathering and it was in a house, a small room.
3. When they prayed they sounded like chanting with their tilting voice. and every sentence was followed by a loud unison of Amen... yes.. every sentence.
4. They referred to each other as brothers and sisters. even the so called pastor.(they don have pastors)
5. They don't believe in naming their church. so they just called it "church of Kuantan"... in fact i found out that there are a few thousand of these churches around Malaysia.

yeah. this were some of the reasons among some others.. but the message was ok. i liked the fact that we were given a chance to share what we have learnt from the message.

yep u guessed it. i think that this is a brethren church. I asked pastor steven and he told me that they called this kind of churches the "local churches" yeah. a new experience though. but i think for next week i will be going to the church that was recommended to me by our pastors in KL. yeah. see how things go.

well i am not here to be a critic. i am just plainly sharing my experiences. what they are doing is not wrong. they are still based on the word of God and functioning as a body of Christ. Its just the way they view things and do them which i am not accustomed to...yet.. an eye opener. really.

yep. its getting late. and i got to finish up my work still. yeah. no thoughts for today. to tired to rig up one. yeah. so goodnite all, take care and God bless.

Agape..
