On the red corner, the evergreen indisputable champion, on an unbeaten winning streak, with 26 KOs...

Christianity!

On the blue corner, the underdog, the youthful opponent...

Science!

Round 1 (3rd October): God vs. Science

Does science has all the answers as they claimed to be? Will science knock down God with its 'truth'? And what does God has to say? An exciting round 1 awaits you.

Round 2 (10th October): Evolution vs. Creation

Bring on your evidence. Prove it. Falsify the other. Which theory will outstand the other?

Round 3 (17th October): Genetic Engineering: Playing God?

The new attempt of science to bring down her opponent - God. Will she succeed?

Round 4 (24th October): Is the Bible true?

A Green Heart by Daniel Lee

Where did all these things come from?

There is ONE single source –

GOD THE CREATOR

Everything was designed carefully – it’s too complicated for it to be an accident or random things taking place.

The Account of Creation - Genesis 1

The Beginning

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

² Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

³ And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. ⁴ God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

⁶ And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." ⁷ So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. ⁸ God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

⁹ And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.¹⁰ God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

¹¹ Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. ¹² The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

¹⁴ And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, ¹⁵ and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. ¹⁶ God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. ¹⁷ God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, ¹⁸ to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

²⁰ And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." ²¹ So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." ²³ And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

²⁴ And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. ²⁵ God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

²⁶ Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

²⁷ So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

²⁸ God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

²⁹ Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. ³⁰ And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

³¹ God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Why should we care?

God is the Creator – and He enjoyed His creations. How do you think He feels when we destroy His creations?

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. (Genesis 1:31)

It is God’s command to us – take care and look after it

The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it. (Genesis 2:15 CEV)

The world is a very small place. We might not realize it but what we do will affect someone around us.

What are the things I do that might harm the environment?

•Wasting electricity, fuel, water all contribute to climate change.

•Litter on the streets – ends up in the sea, killing marine life.

•Buying more and more stuff – more trash

•Supply and demands – shark fin – ecological imbalance

NIMBY Syndrome

•You can put your trash in front of that house next door but not in front of mine…

•Malaysia is fine. We won’t be affected by climate change or dead marine animals wat….

•Let the dog poo in front of his house la….

It’s ok as long as it doesn’t affect me..As long as it’s NOT IN MY BACKYARD!

Is that the way we should treat our neighbours?

The second most important commandment says: `Love others as much as you love yourself.' (Mark 12:31)

Next time when you do something, think

“How would I treat myself in this situation?”

God created all these things around us so that men may know Him

19 They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. (Romans 1:19-20)

Love is not just a feeling – it has to be shown out – through expressions or actions

What can I do?

At home:

Switch off lights, fans and electrical appliances when not in use.

Turn off tap when brushing teeth, soaping or shampooing.

At school:

Use both pages of paper before throwing them away...recycle, not throw.

Make notepad using unused papers from exercise books.

bring your own water bottle instead of buying bottled water in school.

Doing something for the environment is simple – it just takes a little bit of effort and you can do your part for the environment.

What is the environment?

It is God’s creation – His masterpiece which He enjoys very much

Why do we need to care for the environment?

• We are God’s stewards – responsible to look after it.

• Our actions has impacts on our neighbours – we need to consider our neighbours’ interests first.

Live godly, live green

A Concerned Heart by Anderson

Awareness Point #1:

Most refugees come from a disadvantage background.

Awareness Point #2:

Most refugees could have lost their family members.

Awareness Point #3:

Most refugees had nothing to bring on their back together with them.

Awareness Point #4:

Most refugees live in a small confined place.

There are a lot of things and people to fight for.

Forget about the things.

Fight for the people -

the disadvantaged, the unfortunate, the poor,

the ones without justice.

A Community Heart by Lue Jun Yi

1. Jesus Gave Up His Rights

5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death –

even death on a cross!

Philippians 2:5-8

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:9

2. Jesus Shared Our Humanity

14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. 17For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Hebrews 2:14-18

14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Hebrews 4:14-16

3. Jesus Came To Serve

42Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Mark 10:42-45

^31-33"When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his glorious throne. Then all the nations will be arranged before him and he will sort the people out, much as a shepherd sorts out sheep and goats, putting sheep to his right and goats to his left.

^34-36"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom. It's been ready for you since the world's foundation. And here's why:

I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.'

^37-40"Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.'

^41-43"Then he will turn to the 'goats,' the ones on his left, and say, 'Get out, worthless goats! You're good for nothing but the fires of hell. And why? Because—

I was hungry and you gave me no meal,
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
I was homeless and you gave me no bed,
I was shivering and you gave me no clothes,
Sick and in prison, and you never visited.'

⁴⁴"Then those 'goats' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or homeless or shivering or sick or in prison and didn't help?'

⁴⁵"He will answer them, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me—you failed to do it to me.'

⁴⁶"Then those 'goats' will be herded to their eternal doom, but the 'sheep' to their eternal reward."

Matthew 25:31-46
