Lot’s wife had her heart completely swayed, immersed and mesmerized by the attractions of the worldly life in Sodom and Gomorrah that she did not escape God’s judgment. Genesis 19:24-26 described for us the last moments of Lot’s wife, “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”

Jesus Christ entered human history in the fullness of time, born of a virgin – the seed of a woman (Gen. 3:15). The seed of man is tainted with the curse of sin. The curse of sin, the Bible tells us, is death. Death is the greatest impasse for mankind. Man is born to die. None can escape. Ten out of ten die. But for the Christian, we are born-again to live forever more. When a Christian dies, the Bible says, he is asleep. One day, when Christ returns, he will awake again! Every Lord’s Day, when we come for worship, Christians rekindle the hope of eternal life in our hearts!

The Lord gathered 130 souls in Blessed Hope Bible-Presbyterian Fellowship’s Inaugural Service. Dr. SH Tow’s encouragement for our group was that a choir of 7-8 might be assembled to praise God’s Name. The newly assembled Blessed Hope choir of nine – Victor Wong, Rita, Penny, Rose, Megan, Mrs Siow, Jane Tan, Eunice, Nicholas Wong – with Lois Lek accompanying on the piano, sang the hymn, “Yesterday, Today and Forever” to the glory of Jesus’s Name. They rehearsed at the home of our sister Rita with the careful instruction of Mrs. Siow. Indeed, we experience God’s blessing as we praise His Name.

We are thankful to our great God for calling us to begin a gospel outpost here in this rented Worship Centre of the “Salvation Army” building in the “Dairy Farm” area at 500, Upper Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 678106. Welcome to this Inaugural Service.

A small group has faithfully assembled together to pray, in our “Upper Room” named “Praise Chapel”, just around the corner in this building. We have gathered fortnightly to pray at 8pm since 15 August 2013 on Thursday nights and most recently from 6 November 2013 to pray mid week on Wednesday.
