It was during last Saturday Curtin CF (Sarawak Chapter) that we were having our welcoming party to welcome the freshman at one of the popular local beach here in Miri. In one of the games that we played, there was a part that requires the people to voluntarily contribute/donate/offer their straws a.k.a money to the church to build a mega church equipped with best facilities to attract more pre-believers coming to the church.
On our way back from the welcoming party, some of us discussed this subject and taking some of the church we know of for examples. One of my friend said, he actually don't quite agree with CHC believe system of a how church should be. Are we to build God our best House of Worship for Him equipped with the best facilities or a simple one will do? I couldn't say that his views were wrong, but it is all boils down to which believe system that we subscribe to. Surprisingly and amazingly, the devotion material (http://odb.org/2012/03/11/beauty-in-the-church/) that I used the next day speaks directly to me and reassure my believe system that we should offer God our best monetary and non-monetary offerings although I may not be offering my best at times.
There is nothing wrong with building mega church as long as the leadership of the church is convicted by God to build one to serve His purpose and for His glory alone. In the devotion material also points out a very good point that "the beauty was important then because it reminded the people of the worth of God in their worship. During the dry and dusty days of desert wanderings, they needed a reminder of God’s majesty."
Let offer God our best! :)

Flash Updates
I am back in Miri for two weeks already.
Time is passing so quickly without me actually noticing it.
For this semester, I am staying at new a place and no longer stay with the university accommodation...
The sad thing about this suppose to be new house, is that my room got water leaking through the wall whenever it is raining heavily. *gotta call up the agent to get it fix ASAP*
As for my timetable, I would say it is still not too tight...but...assignments are torturing!
For my accounting, oh my, the lecturer is from Sri Lanka, and most of us cannot catch his super-fast-english-plus-heavy-indian-like-accented. hahaha.... So I'm having two Indian (from India), one Sri Lankan and 3 local Malaysian as my lecturers and tutors. and there are many other Indian/South Asian nationals around in Curtin working as lecturer. Hmmm? Is it cheaper to hire them as lectures dear Curtin Management? ...some of them are really good. if only they have clean accent ;)
12 weeks to go till final exam! go go go! must work hard. All my buddies u guys can do it.
Trusting God all the time :) To be continue in the next update, that's all for now
