Hear the roar

Dear fellow GG members,

Kenny here.

Welcome to our GG's blog page. Yup, KC's GG has one. Happening, right?

Firstly, let me give credit where it is due. The idea of a GG blog came from Helen's GG, where, our sister Yung Ling told me about their intentions (Dr Irene's idea): to put up prayer requests, latest updates about the GG and it's members and etc. I thought that was brilliant and discussed it with the other KC (haha) and ... here we are.

So the purpose of this blogpage is basically to:

(i) share testimonies, prayer requests and updates;
(ii) catch up with what is happening to each other;
(iii) share any moving, encouraging stories, etc with the rest of us;
(iv) anything else that is not stated as above;
(v) all the above (haha).

Please feel free to use this page. For the moment, please send me any of your posts and requests (prayer and others). E mail them to me at my gmail account, or Kevin's gmail account.

Also please feel free to visit our page at any time to read about updates and anything else of interest (church and GG events).

Origins of the name 'Roaring Lambs'

I actually got the inspiration from the title of an album Adrian lent me. I immediately liked the concept: a roaring lamb, a paradox if you consider it carefully. A lamb, by nature, is meek and gentle. Roaring shows boldness, strength. We are asked to be like our Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God (John 1:29), meek and gentle, and we are lambs of God. On the other hand, Jesus is also the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5), mighty, majestic, glorious. We are also to be bold, courageous and confident for Jesus. So combining both of our Lord Jesus' attributes (meekness and majesty), we should be 'roaring lambs': meek but bold and victorious. After all Jesus said 'blessed are the meek ...' and also He has won the victory over death and hell for us and thus we have the courage to live for Him. All praise to Jesus.

All right, until the next post, take care.

Well Done! I'm proud of you guys. I liked the name "Roaring Lambs". Let us be bold and courageous but at the same time, be meek and gentle, the attributes of Jesus as the Lamb of God! I pray that all the GG members will share their thots and prayers to encourage one another.
