On Attending Sunday School
Well, I haven’t been attending sunday school for at least 3 or 4 weeks. Its feels like a long long time really. So, the multi million dollar question is: Why? Simply put, I go out to study or get stuff pertaining to school done.
Now before I get burned at the stake I shall not bother to justify but rather, share with you all some things you won’t understand until you’ve been through it.
- I’m really lousy at study
- I’m not doing well at school
- I need not just more time, but more focused time. Increasing the amount of time I work increases the amount of time I can focus.
Now, some would see this as putting the things of the world above that of God. I put to you, that my studies is 100 times if not 1 million times more important than service in any form in church. Why? Imagine telling my prof “oh.. I failed 4 out of 6 modules last sem cos I was too busy at church”. Come on la, what kinda testimony is that? The things I do in church is all replaceable! Setting up projectors? Cmon.. that stupid thing the children’s helpers do every single week without any kind of help! Soundman? Kok Wing, Henry Lee SK, Joel, Yi Xuan all can do in a heartbeat. Why am I killing myself over the cantata thing? BECAUSE I HAVE COMMITTED TO IT. So simple. Kwan Yann Howe is not indispensable.
Why is studies important to me? BECAUSE IT IS MY TESTIMONY. Not cos I can have a job next time, not cos I can get ahead of all the other rats around in the rat race. I bet everyone’s heard the phrase “LIFE IS MINISTRY”. My primary ministry now, is my life and studies as a student. That is why I go to study. I have 3 hours of bible school via FBI every single week and about 17 chapters worth of reading each week including Wilmingtons Guide. You think your sunday school very long ah? I do more sunday school than 90% of the church loh, along with so many others who still do attend sunday school on sunday!
So there. NOW can I skip sunday school? Sorry for like.. all the mess.
