It is a brand new year and a brand new start, but I wish that not all things are branded :)
Alright I know that was a lame joke.
For this coming year, my expectations for Mark Tan is rather simple; that is to know more about the word of God, especially the Old Testament books, which I take ages to complete. And the most important thing is to know how to quote verses; I remember the word of God but I just forget about the chapter and the verse. I find that quoting the word of God is VERY important in a couple of instances. An instance is when new believers are under the attack of the evil one; you need to quote the verse so that the lies of the devil will be broken. Another example is when there is false teachings, you are not as vulnerable to fall for the deception.
There is this verse Hebrews 4:12.
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
Do not be surprised that I can get the whole verse here. The Google search is really very effective.
I would also pray that God can groom me to be a leader in his ministry. That is why knowing the Bible well is so important.
