Hello people.. Benben's here to blog again.. hehex.. =)

Today, benben is gonna blog about today's service with pst mark conner.. I rarely blog about church stuff and sermons but i just feel that this thing really got me thinking and reflecting so i've decided to blog about it..

Although today service ended an unexpected 6.55pm which we will usually end at 7.30 the earliest and the sermon is short and sweet, this sermon really made me have alot to think about..

Today's sermon is about connecting with God.. How to connect with Him.. so like communicating love, connecting with God also has many ways to do so.. And like different people communicate love differently, people connect with God differently as well.. like in terms of communicating love, we have by physical touch.. people who enjoys giving hugs and giving warmth to others.. we also have the verbal one.. one which expresses his or her love verbally by always telling others how much her or she loves the other party.. another one is by action.. someone people will tend to show their love by the actions they do towards others.. like helping them out or guiding them.. So like having many methods of communicating love, we also have different methods of connecting with God..

There are 5 different styles in which that people connect with God..
1) Contemplative Style
These people will tend to love silence.. they enjoy meditation alot and they way they connect with God is determined by the environment.. These people tend to be very sensitive.. an example will the the apostle John

2) Intellectual Style
These people tend to enjoy mental stimulation.. they love to dig into the bible to find out for more info about the doubs they have.. An example will be Martin Luthur.. The one who founded the protestants.. or what we called at christians here in singapore..

3) Serving Style
These type of people tend to be very busy using their talents and gifts to serve.. they love to serve others and love being on the edge.. Examples are John Wesley and Mother Theresa..

4) Relational Style
They tend to enjoy things and love to do things in groups.. they dont like to pray alone and loves being in communities

5) Charismatic Style
They love to be in the presense of God all the time.. they love worship and prayer alot.. an example will be Benny Hinn..

Which styles are right and wrong?? the answer is All are correct.. We gotta balance out every single style..

So we gotta ask ourselves which one of these styles do i belong to?? ask yourself today

How do we put this into practice??
1) Identify Your Primary Style
(pick the one God has made you to be and not what you will like to be)
2) Arrange Your Life Around That Style

3) Understand & Accept Others Who Are Different Than You

4) Learn Other Ways Of Communications With God
(Never bring your styles to an extreme, trry to balance out everything like how Jesus did)

5) Consider The Implications Of This Model


So what style do you belong to.. to all christians out there reading this..
