Hi! The Ignyte Committee has met yesterday night and we have many exciting things lined up for you:
- We continue our cell group discussion this Saturday. Remember to bring your notes.
- We have planned an outing on October 30 to Taiping Lake Gardens. Departing from church at 9.30 a.m. RM 5.00 per person.
- The highlight will be our youth camp on 19th - 21st December at El Sanctuary, Alor Gajah. The theme is "The Amazing Race." We will be raising funds for our youth camp. So be prepared! Be ready!
A short devotion today on keeping in tune with the Spirit.
Hebrews 6:1 exhorts us to keep on moving. Set new spiritual goals for your life. Don't settle for just a salvation experience but continue to grow in the things of God. At a commercial show a man displayed his truck that had traveled over 600,000 miles. When questioned about the amazing lifespan of his truck he attributed it to good maintenance and fine tuning it to its design. The engine is only as good as the maintenance that is done on it. Keep yourself in tune to the Holy Spirit and in line with the Word of God. And you will stay on the road for a long time!

Lord Jesus,
Help me today to see the beauty of Your creations through Your eyes and not mine.....keep me in tune with Your Spirit.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
LORD,
Because love is patient...
Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to listen. Hesitant to criticise, but eager to encourage, remembering Your endless patience with me.
Because love is kind...
Help my words to be gentle and my actions to be thoughtful. Remind me to smile and to say "Please" and "Thank You" because those little things still mean so much.
Because love does not envy or boast, and it is not proud...
Help me have a heart that is humble and sees the good in others. May I celebrate and appreciate all that I have and all that I am, as well as doing the same for those around me.
Because love is not rude or self-seeking...
Help me to speak words that are easy on the ear and on the heart. When I'm tempted to get wrapped up in my own little world, remind me there's a great big world out there full of needs and hurts.
Because love is not easily angered and keeps no record or wrongs...
Help me to forgive others as You have forgiven me. When I want to hold onto a grudge, gently help me release it so I can reach out with a hand of love instead.
Because love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth...
Help me stand up for what is right and good. May I defend the defenseless, and help the helpless. Show me how I can make a difference.
Because love always protects and always trusts...
Help me to be a refuge for those around me. When the world outside is harsh and cold, may my heart be a place of acceptance and warmth.
Finally, because love always perseveres...
Help my heart continually beat with love for You and others. Thank You for this day when we celebrate love, and for showing us what Your Word really means.
