Radical Conference on Devotion by Pastor Dave.

Pastor Dave talked about snacking, Singaporean like to snack. We eat snack before meal, after meal, night time, late nights. We just love to snack, eat some here, some there, bit by bit here, bit by bit there, eat when we like. In our life to God, some of us are like snacking, eat some here, eat some there, eat only when we feel like.

How many times did we come to church for the sake of coming?
How many times did we our QT for the sake of doing?
How many times did we treat God like snack?

In Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Devotion is more than just snacking. It takes on devotion to obeying the leaders teaching, devoted to fellowshipping with one another, breaking of bread and to prayer. In order to have that devotion, it back to choice. Choices of what we choose, to choose wholehearted devotion or snacking?

In Luke 15: 8 "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?

Look @ this woman, the 10 silver coins is a heirloom and it is very precious to her that she lost 1, she will do all she can do find the 1 silver coin back. What we value, we will go all the way to find, we wont stop until we find it. The coin is of value to the woman, she do what she can to protect it. Its the same thing to us, what we value, we need to protect it!

Pastor Dave showed us 2 coins. One coin is round, another one is half chipped off. In the past, some ppl will shaved off a slight edges of a coin. The shaved off part can be save up and with 30 coins saved, the shaved part can be collected to form 1 coin.

All of us start of with a perfectly round coin, but when we start to sin against God, thinking it is ok to this that, get into relationship, drift away from God, hang out with wrong company, etc. We are actually shaving the coin, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, the perfect round coin become a half chipped coin.

In 2 Timothy 2: 14Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

God is here, He is here to forgive, He is here to restore when we come back to Him, come back with a Heart of worship.

Imagine yourself, buying a chocolate for your boyfriend/girlfriend on a date. While waiting for him/her, you want to try the chocolate you bought to see if it taste good and whether your gf/bf like it anot. You open the box, taking 1 piece, 2 piece and when passed by came by, you gave 1 to him/her and others. Then, when your gf/bf arrive, you present it to him/her.

Our life is just like the box of chocolate and God is the girlfriend/boyfriend. Sometimes when we are tempted by the things of the world, relationship, drinking, smoking, clubbing, wrong company, lying. etc. We eat up the chocolate and at the end of everything, we present a box of chocolate that is not full because we ate it up.

In Mathew 7: 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Do you want to live a life of devotion, devoted to God?
