 This account of my pursuit of God is me bearing fruit as well. May it encourage people in this world to reconcile themselves to God, their maker - if they are willing to pay the cost of following the Christ.

+A testimony prepared for the occasion of my
+baptism at St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore.
+</h3>
+<p>
+Have you ever gotten kicked out of a bar
+ (as in alcohol) before? Before I knew 
+Christ, I was someone who harassed women 
+in bars. I pestered a lady for a kiss and
+ before I knew it, she had told fellow 
+customers about me. And the staff threw me
+ out and refused to let me re-enter.
+
+
+</p>
+<p>
+
+
+That was about seven years ago. I was twenty-four years old.
+
+
+
+</p>
+<p>
+We read in the Bible, "the kingdom of God is about self-control". I say Amen to that. Now I can have respectful friendships with women I meet on the Internet and "in real life". Thanks be to God. I find these friendships more rewarding and satisfying than a reluctant kiss from a stranger at a bar.

+Does that mean I don't feel temptation? Yes, I do. On the MRT, I see women wearing figure-hugging clothes. My flesh tells me to squeeze their butt, even without their permission. But do I act on the desires of my flesh? No. I walk by the Spirit, instead of the flesh. I thank God that I am not one of those young men who appear in the news for stealing ladies' underwear, or touching women without permission.

+<p>
+It is written in the Bible, "it is no longer I who live, but the Christ in me." 
+
+
+
+</p>
+<p>
+And, "I have crucified the flesh with its desires."
+
+
+</p>
+<p>
+God calls me to a higher life. It is my duty and honour to obey that call.
