A good friend ask how come you were not in *enter church event* ? It's the best ever and s/he has learnt the most this time.... man you don't know what you missed! Man.
Recently it's the MCCC.
I've no doubt that I probably missed some stuff. Some great stuff too but why should I be there?
I mean, if I don't go would I be less spiritual or would I be more? Would I have grown more godly character if I went? .... during the time of MCCC it was the first time I experience God's healing, a time where I see God answering our prayers for weather. How could any sermon give me the experience I had with God during those 25 hours of climbing up and down. Oh... and the beauty of God's creation - the mountains, clouds.... and the great company! :)
I know that my friends mean well, and they're excited about the stuffs they learn. I know. When I learn something new I get so excited I tell everyone about it and most time shove it down their throats! Which I should have learn by now that it is the WRONG thing to do. hehehe but I still do it... arrghhh!!!!!!
So why should I be there? Unless God tells me to.
Recently there was Taming the Tiger. Many people went and said, "WOW!...." Then what?
I remember I was there during the prophetic conferences.... the many ppl around me when "WOW!..." Then?
Edmund Chan came to DUMC for MCCC a couple of years ago. Then ppl was saying the same thing.. it's the BEST thing! REALLY! ..Har? You didn't go? Wah.. why la.. you should have because.. well I've learnt so much.
Couple years down the road... could we remember what he was teaching?
I'm not saying that we shouldn't go. No. I feel that we should go. In fact go for as much as we can because listening about things of God is great and increases our faith....
But remember what Edmund Chan taught about the story of martha and mary. Mary has chosen the one thing that is needful, it shall not be taken away from her.
I believe we need to find that one thing for us - that place of restedness in Him - and know that we're where God wants us to be. Then Relax. Have some fun then have more. Love.

Hmm... there is a time and place for everything. Just because there is a conference doesn't mean God prefers you to be there. Going for too many church events can make you very inward looking. Just hungrily seeking but not giving back? God have other sheep in other fold that you must go and gather, they're not in the conference.
Personally I really appreciate conferences for the prayer from an anointed man/woman of God.
