FIR Concert























Last Fri I went for FIR concert. I did feel a little guilty since i skipped CG for it. My sis and I waited for their concert since their very first album which is probably 4 years ago. Promised my sis then that we will go to their concert together when they have one in Singapore. And who knows... it was scheduled on a Fri...and so...

























However, after the concert I didnt feel as guilty as I see God's work in the concert too~
I think FIR concert was good, despite of bad sound system etc...but FIR, it's really about their music... Guess what, to me, the best part of the concert was not when Faye sang really well...or when Jam Hsiao came out to perform...but it was at the end of it when Faye and Real thank God (I was actually waiting for it~haha)

Real said something like:
“我和飞有一位好朋友。虽然他现在不在这里(i think 阿沁指的是观众席)blah blah blah..
他就是我们的神。”

I cheered loudly once he said that Haha~ out of the silence in the stadium. Cos praise God, His name is proclaimed even in such situation. I think it's amazing.

During the concert, video about Faye and Real were played...Real's was about him wearing a 'armour' (a self defence protection I suppose)...pursuing for things that he thought he will be happy after he achieved it. However, after achieving it, he wasnt happy until one who showed love and taught him to remove his 'armour'. While Faye's was about her who was once a girl who can't speak in front of a crowd but now singing in front of crowds, who went through period that she felt lost and miserable till someone who showed her the love. Many will think and relate Faye's someone to be Real and Real's to be Faye since they are couple. My sis and I felt that the someone they were talking about might be God. So I went home and googled, and I was assured, from one of Real's testimonies that was posted online, that my sis and I were right . Things matches. Of cos, there are still rules of this world so it cant be made obvious in the video when they are played in public, a non christian event.

My sis then asked me, since they are so active, why didnt they make a compilation of Christian songs, gathering numerous artistes who are Christians just like what the western celebrities did. I didnt know how to answer my sis then but guess what?! They did it, just that both of us didnt know. It's called 《希望》Hope... by New Life Church (the church that they belong). Several celebrities were gathered to produce this album.





















Anyway, read from somewhere that this album is only given out and not for sale.

Here's 2 songs from the album:
希望的種子 - 大合唱


彩色羽翼 - 飛



At times, I feel that people might had stereotyped people from this circle. However, I believe that each of us are called to be in different industries. Whether you are doctor...or a scientist or a pilot...or businessman...a pastor...a missionary or a celebrities. Ultimately the important thing is, with the talents that God had given us and wherever God placed us in, did we use these talents to glorify ourselves? or glorify Him?
Celebrities inevitably get the fame...the attention...the popularity. However, despite of these, are they still walking close to God? Glorify Him in their ways? doing God's work? I guess it's difficult for us to judge or maybe we cant even judge them.

Anyway I am really glad to know that there are brothers and sisters who are declaring their faith even in the entertainment industry.

Real's Testimony
I read that they will actually pray before they start to compose a song or before their concert.
