Life

As i was reading the Bible, getting a verse to encourage someone, i realize that what CHC is going through is very much what the Bible has describe.

In 2Cor 4:8-11
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed

As a church, going through all the saga together was not an easy matter.

But like what the verse says we are hard-pressed by all the media on all side, reflecting all the negative reports about us yet we are NOT crushed. We are persecuted yet we know we are not forsaken and will not forsake our leaders as well. We are very badly struck down by the reports but we know we are not destroy!

We can stand united as one.

As i then start to flip through the Bible to read Matthew.

In this verse:

Mat 6:1-4

Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

As a church we done many charitable deeds. many natural disasters, sending forth our medical teams and aids.

Yet not once, did we sound the trumpet getting media to come and write a full page report about it. Its all because of our church belief: Loving God wholeheartedly and loving people fervantly.

Its really the DNA of CHC.

All in all, CHC have and is still making a difference in many people's lives and the society!
