Brother Joshua Liong spoke to us yesterday. He is coming next week for Part 2 as well. The seminar was awesome, wasn't it? :)
SOUND definition:
Exercising or showing sound judgement;
Reflects weight of sound argument or evidence;
Free from moral defect
This is the theme verse:
What does being sound means?
It is the ability to tell the difference & the ability to discern
(or the D&D Principle)
RIGHT choices that's LEFT an impact. Sounds familiar? =)
It is just to remind you of the little game we played yesterday - with our eyes shut.
:) We need to learn to use the D&D principle in our lives!
The second important thing is that we must have ABSOLUTE TRUTH - a standard by which we live by. We were told that a MAJORITY of people DON'T believe in ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
How sad! People who DON'T are most likely to steal, use illegal drugs, commit suicide, cheat in exams, lie to a friend, physically hurt someone, feel disappointed, watch pornography & many more DANGEROUS activities!
Live by the truth, nothing else!
We were INFORMED about being "sound" in watching movies. There are guidelines to the 4 NO-NOS in watching movies!
Basically,
NO blasphemous movies because they make fun of God & Jesus; as well as portray them in disrespectful ways.
NO occult movies too. God is against witchcraft!
NO sick movies... I can't describe it!!
NO sex movies. *Pornography
So, MAKE SURE you watch a movie that doesn't fall in any of the 4 CATEGORIES! If you're NOT SURE; ASK YOURSELF 4 QUESTIONS:
1) What is the tone of the movie?
2) Is there a moral to the story?
3) Can anything be learned from the movie?
4) Might the movie worsen a problem you already have?
5) Would you regret having scenes from this movie replay themselves later in your head?
And lastly, if you came yesterday, REFLECT on what you've learnt & APPLY it.
Don't forget to finish up the SURVEY in page 2 & 4. :)
MORE TO COME NEXT WEEK... Stay tuned!
PS. Eunice; pls remember to write a post for next week. If possible, put in some pictures yeah? :) But if you don't want to; or if you don't know what to put in here, it's OKAY.
Have a great week ahead. BEST WISHES for ALL your exams!
