Bible-Presbyterian Church:
The Beginning of the FEBC Worship Service
at the RELC
Welcome,
Welcome all of you.
As you all know I have been pressurised to
resign from Life Church after 53 years of service as predicted by what an
elder told my son last year, “We’ll make your father pastor emeritus.” The
word emeritus is a polite word but points to my being now put on the shelf.
For nearly a year a controversy has raged
in Far Eastern Bible College between younger lecturers and those who stand
with the Principal on the question whether the Bible has some mistakes or
without any and absolutely perfect. As I take the view of a 100% perfect
Bible and stand with Dr Jeffrey Khoo, more squabble developed on August 20
at Life Church Session meeting which drove me to my resignation.
Not desiring any further contention and
following our Lord’s example, I determined to leave Life Church and begin
anew with a fresh Service. The Lord wonderfully provided a place not far
from Gilstead Road at the RELC (Regional English Language Centre), down
Orange Grove Road from Shangri-La Hotel with immediate occupation. We take
it as a positive sign from God.
So here you are this morning and following
your pastor’s footsteps, and not being forsaken. I am specially delighted
that Elder Han Soon Juan is able to chair the inauguratory Service. May God
unite us together to broadcast the good news of life everlasting to a lost
world. We cannot tell how He will increase us in the days ahead, when we
serve Him anew to rebuild His Kingdom. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all
that is within me, bless his holy name (Ps 103:1).
Your affectionate pastor
Pastor
Timothy Tow
