Reflection on the word "Pierce"

I didn't know what the Grace Youth Camp was about, but from all the facebook entries the theme was "Pierce". Since Joey was Chairman I figured it was a John Piper inspired theme. A lot of people said it was a blast. Wow, how many times do you say that about a youth camp on Grace? The last one I gave was the one on 2005 whoes theme was discipleship. I am looking forward to hear from Joey about his reflections about the youth camp. Yixian wrote a prayer on her FB "...hoping that whatever that PIERCE 2010 has brought out in each and every single individual will have a lasting impact to shape R-age in a radical manner for Jesus! ". What a prayer! I was inspired to add my own reflection on the word "pierce", "
(I have) heard a lot of word about "going to the next level... going to the next level", but found out that he didn't go to any level until he got pierced by the Word."

Yes, I do miss being part of R-age. Like CX and Ronald told me when they saw me after I made the "official announcement" that I'll always be an R-ager. I feel that way, at least while those I know are still serving in it. Nonetheless, even when no one in that ministry knows who I am, it will always have a special place in my heart. This is my prayer for those who were at the G2 youth camp:

I pray and hope this kind of revival is happening amongst the youths: When the lights of their youth burns out; when the leprosy of worldliness consumes their flesh; when the struggles of everyday life robs their passion for Christ; when all these and more happens in their lives, may their scar remind them of the day the Word of Life that pierced their heart. The entry wound where the Holy Spirit breathed life that eliminates truth in their hearts. The outcome of which is delight in Christ forever. When words of prophecy from man fails to materialise; when guilt and condemnation hangs like a noose around their neck; when the chains of sin binds their hands and feet; when the struggle with sin has no end in sight, trust in the revealed word that affirms and confirms what we believe in Christ Jesus is true to the glory of the Father.

God bless you, young people!
