Dear BPCWA worshipper, After last week’s pastoral, have we been more conscious about what has been on our minds? This is a question that has many implications on our holiness, our walk, and our testimony before man. And most surely, it has a significant impact on our love for God. If we can have sinful thoughts without even performing the act, then we cannot fulfill God’s injunction, “Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1Pe 1:16) without minding our minds. This is because holiness is not just doing the external act. Importantly, we will also not be loving God with “all our mind” (Mk 12:30).

It is certainly important that we build good habits into our daily lives and have the discipline to live them out. But what if one day things change suddenly, a major part of your life is suddenly totally disrupted . . . and may even change forever? Sudden life changes. 1)Health events. One such example that life can take a most unexpected turn

Dear BPCWA worshipper, Last Lord’s Day, we closed off our Easter celebrations with our Anniversary Dinner. Though our church was started in February, it has been our tradition to celebrate it on Easter instead. We are thankful that we could once again do it this year, something that we don’t take for granted anymore after we were unable to have it during the period of COVID restrictions. It was by God’s provision that we could have it together in a restaurant in an area separated from other diners. Despite the double-digit increase in food prices that we have been experiencing in our supermarket shopping, God has moved the heart of the restaurant owner to keep it at the same price
