Thoughts on the Parable of the Talents

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' Matt 25:21

The mid term exam is upon us and I wish to encourage all those facing the coming test to consider the Parable of the Talents.

God has given all that we have. In fact God has given us far more than we realised. We constantly discover that we have hidden talents as we explore and expanded our horizons. As students, we should be expanding and extending our potential in acquiring knowledge. As it is written in Proverb 18: 15 "The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.", our responsibilities as students is to acquire knowledge while at the same time seek the wisdom from God to apply the knowledge. The question is this: Have we optimised our God given talents in our studies?

It is important to remember that while we glorify His name through our successes in sports, arts and music, we also bear testimony to God through excellence in our studies.

May God bless you with wisdom and dilligence as you prepare for your exam.

Coach Daniel

Straining Ahead

I feel a touch of melancholy that 2011 PFA league has come to a close. You have all played well and with a great deal of heart. I salute you, Gladiators.

The spirited competition that marks all our matches in Div II and the sportmanship that Gladiators have displayed both on and of the court has been exemplary but now we must move forward as we have a greater goal ahead. As Apostle Paul said:

"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus"
Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

So let us press on to win the ultimate prize for which we are called into this ministry. Let us prepare ourselves by training harder, improving knowledge, perfecting our skills and teamwork, so that we may be worthy to be known as God's Army.

There is much that we must improved upon: In the sport of Floorball, we must improve our individual skills, stamina and game knowledge; While as a team we need to work on communication, tactical thinking and mutual support.

Similarly in the journey of discipleship, we must strive to know God and His plan for each of us. We are not here or at this place and this time by accident for God choose each of us even before creation (Eph 1:4) and He has a special purpose for us. Let us be equiped with the armor of God (Eph 6:16-17) so that when we are called to serve that purpose, we are ready and able.

My goal for this year would be to buiid a third line of Gladiators and start an all girls team in preparation for 2012. We will start registration for new players immediately so please bring your friends to the next practice at 5-7pm on 29th May (Sun).

One Team, One Body, One Heart, One Soul, One Purpose, One Goal.

God bless you all,

Coach Daniel

The Race

The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running.

We have overcome great odds to be where we are. Now we face our final challenge, will we end our race as we have begun? Are we not Christ soldiers? Let us take up the sword and spread His word. Let us fight so that we may Glorify Him. Let us be one in brotherhood and the world shall know that we are His disciples.

Onward Christian Brothers! 

Coach Daniel

Facing The Giants

Take Courage

Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.”
Ezra 10:4

As Christians, we face adversities as a matter of course; Some may falter and fell by the way side, beaten. But no, not us! For we have God our Father who received us with open arms, if only we would return. God is ever merciful to those who came before Him in repentance and submission. Let Christ be our commander and we shall be victorious. So Take Courage and Do It!

Coach Daniel 

Teamwork

 

 Vince Lombardi

Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. ~Vince Lombardi

What a great practice last night!

We can finally feel the flow of team play, PTL! Both line have improved tremendously over the last few weeks and have started to gelled together into effective fighting unit. However, we have yet to internalized positioning ourselves in support of our team mates. This will take a bit more time and constant reminders between ourselves. Let us commit to each other, just as we committed ourselves to God, to support and raise our performance as a team.

May all Glory, Power and Majesty be to GOD our Father!

 Coach Daniel

About Commitment

John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

"I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty." John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

To be part of a team is a privilege, when we accepted the honor as a member of such a team, we assume a responsibilty to the team and it's members. Being part of a team sometimes requires individual sacrifices. It is not about the game, or the match or even the competition; What it's about is commitment to each other; Where one can depend on the other to stay committed to a common course.

I leave you with this quote:

"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results."

May God bless you all.

Coach Daniel

Keep On Running

Ecclesiastes 9:11, "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."

The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running. Fight On Gladiators!
