“展” 摄影集

沈仪婷

无论年纪有多大，愿你我这一生都有健壮身心灵，随时随地预备好，大展歌喉颂赞三一神、迈开步伐开展非凡的信心旅程！

圣灵如风使我们如加帕多家上空绚丽的热气球上腾，开展信心之旅，从上帝的视角俯瞰大地，直到地极，完成主的大使命！

我深知就算我展开双翼飞到天涯海角，无论晨昏阴晴寒暑，祢仍与我同在，不离不弃，风雨兼程！

昔日主耶稣走遍加利利传天国的福音；如今愿我们如加利利海上的海鸥般展翅飞翔，不畏风浪，将主的福音传至地极！

展开政府大厦大草坪的画卷，古老的教堂、政府大厦、最高法院等，无一不在展现昔在、今在、永在的三一神对新加坡的眷爱！

Expanding Our Vision (扩展视野)

刘得恩

“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:26)

When reading the verse above as city dwellers, the best mental image we might muster is that of a bird picking aimlessly at the grass, or a pigeon picking scraps from refuse. Those mental images facilitate an understanding of God as a miserly provider.  

Jesus invites us to consider the birds of the air. Perhaps we can consider a heron, with a hulking fish in its beak, and understand that our God provides for us richly. 

A Permanent Exhibit （永恒的展览）

林福兴

As I look at this exhibit (展览), I was reminded of how the things of this world are transient. The beautiful things that you see today may be gone tomorrow. Very few things stand the test of time.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever (Isaiah 40:8).

Now consider God’s enduring word as an exhibit. Isn’t it extraordinary how God’s word has been preserved and persisted for centuries? Isn’t it amazing how His word remains relevant and unchanging? And since His Word does not return to Him void, we can trust that God will fulfil all that He has promised.

May we develop a deeper appreciation of God’s enduring word and may His word give us strength to endure every passing day.
