one more week to go

Wahahahahahahaa!!

Finally finished another one.. 2 more to go!! First time I'm late in handing in my assignment.. by one day.. haha.. haven't had enough 'guts' to submit any later. Not too happy with the essay cos it feels like it's all over the place.. but ah well, too late now!

Been a crazy past week having to finish 3 assignments, run 1 workshop and preach 1 sermon. Gosh, makes me wonder... did I not use my time wisely in the semester? Why is there this tidal wave of assignments at this time? Hmm...

Anyway, looking forward to the next assignment.. not actually the process of doing it, but just the topic - Evangelism in the postmodern world - do we/should we alter our methods of evangelism in this postmodern society? If so, what and how?

Basically it would cut to the core of what's central to the gospel and what can be contextualised to fit into the context of the people we're reaching out to. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping to achieve in this assignment... if i'm efficient enough in my reading!

Preached a sermon on "mercy" (based on Jonah) at Chapel in Seminary. Found myself struggling to prepare for it because I've never really had any enemies I had to forgive/show mercy like Jonah did. Still got good feedback from the lecturers and students, so praise God! But it did raise the question for me in terms of preaching, how does someone preach something that they've never really experienced before? Is it hypocritical? Or is it a matter of drawing experiences from other people and reflect on similarities in our own situation?

Hmm.....

Oh, only one more week of classes to go. So sad! I'm going to miss attending lectures...
