This is one of my absolute favourite parts of the Bible, especially when Isaiah has a totally different attitude at the end in verse 8.

Song of Songs 8:6-12 - Love is invincible
0 commentsThe bible always talks about how God's love for us is the jealous kind. Kind of like where v11-12 talks about how the man views his property. Hm... I haven't really come to much "insight" or "growth" through this book... I wonder if Song of Songs is better for when I've experienced more =S

Song of Songs 4:9-15 - God has eyes for you
0 commentsIf Song of Songs is a comparison of God's love for us, then it sure is a new perspective on His love. We always talk about His love in the broad sense, how it surpasses all love on earth, how it's a sacrificial love, how it's a jealous love etc. Even though we talk about our love as a marriage, we never literally think it.

Song of Songs 1:5-10 - Accepted just as you are
0 commentsSong of Songs is a very interesting book in the Bible for me in the sense that, I LOVE flipping through it and reading it aloud to the world for fun, but I have never just sat down and read through the entire book. Maybe I'm not up to the age yet? I'm not sure.

Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:7 - Make the Most of Your Youth
0 commentsThe author of Ecclesiastes is writing in the perspective of an aged person, making a warning to all the youths out there to relish our lives. It's true, old people's bodies don't listen to the brain as much as ours does.

"If you want to walk on water, you've got to get out of the boat" - Chapter 1
0 commentsThis is an awesome book, telling us about the relationship between risks, failures, growth and our "boats". It focuses on the event where Peter gets out of the boat and walks towards Jesus, and he wrote a new page in history where man walked on water. I'm pretty sure he's the only one I know of, besides Jesus.
We often focus on failures in life, because society tells us to succeed. Peter didn't fail. Peter triumphed on water, although only for a while, and the triumph stopped when he lost focus on Jesus and looked towards the storm. He succeeded. The other 11 disciples failed, because they missed the opportunity to feel success.
I'm a fairly risk-adverse person. I don't gamble(mainly due to my religion, but I wouldn't gamble if I were atheist), I don't buy shares. I never do anything that I think might let me fail. I enjoy my comfort zone very much. Maybe because I have a reputation to keep, it's too much on the stake. If I join a new ministry, and I have no experience in it, then I fail... what will people think of me? I also don't put the effort into making new genuine friendships. I have many acquaintances, but I feel too comfortable with my existing "close friends" to risk putting pointless energy in making new friendships. Probably due to the fear of rejection, and I'm tired.

Redesigning of UNSW CCF website
0 commentsI'm in the process of redesigning UNSW CCF's website (accessed at http://www.ccf.unsw.edu.au).
This is the prelim process of the main page template... is the template a little too business looking for a student society?
