A Russian, an Ethiopian and a Singaporean were being surveyed by the World Bank. The question was "What is your opinion on how much money you spend on food?"
The Ethiopian asked, "What is food?"
The Russian asked, "What is money?"
The Singaporean asked, "What is an opinion?"
Last Sunday in CG
We wrapped up our series on the Holy Spirit with a very inspiring sharing by Sury. What does it mean to be a Christian? We may be baptised, but do we allow Jesus to be Master and Lord of our lives? Life gets harder after we decide to follow Jesus, not easier. We change the way we do things, we change our lifestyle, our friends find that our changes are strange and some become former friends. But if we want to follow the will of God, then it has to be done.
This Sunday in CG
Join us as we explore the Holy Spirit at the workplace! (also applicable to school...)
