Invitation To Church Christmas Service

So my son's homeschooling friend invited him for youth Christmas service at HOGC on my birthday, when we were supposed to have a family lunch. He probably thinks that J has backslided like me 😜😆 and wanna get him to slide back on Christmas.

J immediately replied him, "I can't. It's my dad's birthday on that day." And he told me about it.

I responded, "No. It's okay. I want you to go and experience it. And when the team leader and the people ask you, 'Which church are you from?' You tell them, 'I am the church.'"

My wifey overheard the conversation and interrupted, "You don't teach him to scare people off leh. They will think your son is weird."

Joke aside, I was personally blessed by Ps How when he took time to meet me and my wifey personally (over a period of time) at the early stage of my full-time church ministry work more than a decade ago. I wasn't from his sheep pen, but he had kingdom mentality to empower young ministers regardless of which church they are from.

He gave me the opportunity to sit in his staff meeting, looked at his staff office and learnt from his administration.

When I left full-time church ministry, he sent his pioneer leader to meet with me and find out how I was doing.

While theology might differ, love wins. His humility and genuine empowerment reveal his heart for the younger and the young generation.

So while I'm not into a church institution, I'm for my son to experience what is in an institution so that he can understand the differences when it comes to the Kingdom of God.
