In my last blog entry, I spoke about an article that appeared in last Saturday's Straits Times. Well, there was an article that appeared on the front page of Saturday's Straits Times about a Singapore-born porn actress that was murdered by her boyfriend.
What caught my eye about that article was the following paragraph:
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported that Randone, 45, holds a 'bachelor's degree from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and a master's of divinity degree from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, according to a brief 1996 biography on the Baylor University Website'.
The murderer was theologicially-trained and was even a preacher at some stage of his life. He was exposed to the teachings of the Bible and could probably even quote chunks of the Scriptures. But one wonders whether he had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and was aware of what Christ's finished work had accomplished for him.
In other words, he knew the Word of God, but he did not seem to know the God of the Word.
Contrast this to Ps Joseph Prince who does not have any sort formal theological training. Yet, because he knows the God of the Word and never fails to unveil Jesus in his sermons, God has used him to transform thousands of people in Singapore and millions of others around the world.
It is no wonder therefore that the apostle Paul counted as rubbish all the head knowledge and titles that he had accumulated before his Damascus road encounter.
How about you? Do you know the God of the Word? Do you know that Jesus is now our High Priest? Do you know that as He is, so are we in this world? Do you know that His work is a finished and complete one? If not, then go to Suntec City and listen to the grace-based sermons there. Or click on the following link to listen to Ps Reuben Ng :-)
