Mandarin Worship Service 09 Sep 12
Rev Heng
There are are rules in home, office. God also has rules for His family.
1st commandment, thou shall have no other gods besides me. God knows even if you r worshipping in secret, not to uphold anyone, even yourself.
2nd commandment, thou shall not make for yourself any graven image. God is a spirit, He do not need to be represented by any statues, He's bigger than any objects, we cannot limit Him in a statue.
3rd commanment has got to do with His names. We are not to take His name in vain. He has many names, Jehoveh Jireh, even Jesus' name.
The word "vain" means for evil purpose. Cannot use His name to tell lies. How? "I swear!" Bible says let your yes be yes, and your.no be no.. we dont need to swear, no need to challenge others to swear..
vain also means empty.. sometimes children use their fathers' name in vain.. example, child using their fathersz name to access, "my father say...." In english tv, western films, they will use "OMG!"
What is require:
1) Includes His title. eg. Bruce Almighty. this is God's title. like the group name ABBA.. Abba is a dear name to address our heavenly Father. Trinity is also another title being misuse.. in films or products.
2) God's house. In the bible, church refers to body of believers. They meet in houses of believers, as numbers grew, buildings were build and set aside for worshipping.. but we should.be careful not to set human rules.. some.poorer countries have no choice but to use it as a guest house for visitors.. be careful not to use it for anything else as well.. We can worship God anywhere. some places dont even have a place for worship.. we must be careful not to be too extreme.
3) Holy communion. Some mothers gave some of the bread and wine to their hildren to pacify them.. parents should be training
their children to respect.
some use church bulletines to gather lottery number..
some labeled thenselves as gods.. ..."
Had to leave because of my duty church...
