CHC Emerge Conference


See this picture? i got this envelope when i attended the CHC Emerge conference yesterday evening. this is actually the envelope for putting ur offerings or tithes and this is given out before the service starts. i can't believe that even for tithing or giving offerings, the envelope must look "Professional"...Did u see the word "business reply service"? To me, giving offerings is a good way to show ur faith in Lord,but this kind of giving is like paying bills like that de, got a lot of burden, somemore, their way of giving can be done online or give cheque and must be payable to CHC. Wah, CHC so systematic sia...i feel like CHC is more like an organisation rather than an ordinary church. Everything there is so elaborated, just like the its own building at Jurong west site.

if those of u who have been to CHC building before, u should know how it look like. Just looking the exterior of the building alone, it looks so modern and the cost of building it must be in terms of millions. i was quite surprised that this church uses very material-Titanium to build the exterior of the bldg. What's the point of having such a beautifully buily church when the ppl there are not really united? i believe that there are some groups of pple who are not genuine converts and the reason why they go to CHC is not because of God,but for their own personal reason such as making more friends there, see chio bu, sing and jump during worship, and so on...these ppl are really there for selfish reasons. some of them come in fanciful dress, hairstyle, mp3,psp and many many .....

during the past few years with CHC, i realised that although CHC ppl wish to save their loved ones who is unchrist from the punishment of sins(which is death) and gain eternal lives by sharing gospel with them, CHC has been organising many activities such as the recent Carnival during the Easter service to attract ppl to attend their svc and increase the strength of the church. i felt that they are trying to fufil the puupose of their church instead of God's purpose.

The reason why unchrist ppl comes to church because of one wonderful person and that person is our Father God, not just because of the major events in the church. these ppl came just to enjoy the church activities and to know some new friends in church. For guys, they came to CHC because they can see chio bu and get their number as CHC produces a lot of babe....lol...

Well, these are just the incentives for ppl to get to know the church ppl and build a good relationship with them and thus the unchrist ppl would be more open to know about God and experience God's love for them. i think this is true way to convert ppl to christian.

For the service, one would think that everytime they attended CHC service is like thay are attending a live concert. this is because City harvest church is a modern charismatic church where the musicians are more into hard rock and techno and yet very devoted to God, thus the instruments used are those used in live band concert, so u wont see piano, harpsicord,violin all these classical instruments in high level energy church like CHC. most of the ppl there are youngsters, so u will see a lot of funky and rocky ppl out there, and CHC is right for them to live in the house of God...so check it out!!!

For yesterday's Emerge Conference service, it was very enjoyable as there are a no. of ompetitions during the svc, such as the beauty pageants and manhunt, Spelling bee, and also very exciting worship song Great is our God which is sang in 3 languages(English, Japanese and Mandarin). its too pity that i din record the song sia.......

CHC also invited some of the celebrities such Faye from F.I.R. , Daren Tan and Tan Diya from Project Superstar 2. Daren Tan and Diya sang a song each and they also perform a duet medley to sing a song called "Jin Sheng Zhu ding" and it was awesome sia...the whole church was energized with the presence of these 2 superstars....i think CHC service should invite some powerful singers to entertain the church in future sia...lol...
