(CNY 4th Day) Combined Sunday Worship

Today Rev Yap talked about the origins of the Zodiac signs. It's not base on some fairy tales on how the animals had a race, but rather, how our ancestors were using the strength of these animals in pairs.

As usual, with my not too good notes taking skills, i might have left out some really important points.. And my memory is not that good.. 

As Jesus said in Matthew 10:16, to be wise as serpents and harmless as dove. We are to strike a balance living as Christian.

Rat --> smart
Ox --> hard working

With these two combined, we are to work smart and hard!

tiger --> Courage
Rabbit --> cautious

We are to be courageous yet at the same time not being rash.

dragon --> strength
Snake --> flexible

We can learn to be flexible with our might..

Horse --> fast
Goat  --> gentle

In a fast pace society, it's important to remember to be gentle with our actions and words too.

Monkey --> agile
Chicken --> stability

(cant remember this one)

Dog --> trustworthy
Pig--> easy going

cant remember much for this one, but i do remember him quoting Barnabus as an example of having both traits.

Went to watch Green hornet with JAs and Joc, then went over to candice's house!

  1. monkey and chicken:

    be steady, yet flexible-- don't be swayed away from our christian principles.

    doggy and piggy:

    too much of a dog=>legalist
    too much of a pig=>compromise faith
