Have we given the best gift to Jesus?

........was on sermon 25 December 2006

Four gifts that God accept:
1. Luke 1:34,38 Our purity
2. Mat 1:19 Sincerity, genuineness
3. Luke 2:8 Simplicity and obedience
4. Mat 2:1 Effort to give the best like what's shown by three wise men.

The Meaning of Christmas

........was on Sermon 24 December 2006

It's written well on John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Christmas talks about God's greatest blessing, the greatest Love.
Christmas is a Celebration of Love, on Christmas day the perfect gift that we should give to others and God instead of anything else is Love, bountiful love.

The Love that is:
- unlimited
- universal
- unconditional: don't ask, give first.
- the best love
- responsible

I know You are reading this blog too Lord

...off the chlog...

I'm boarding on Faithship again, but I didn't go to Church today instead I was at a hospital and I'm going to be there again. My Mom needs prayers from all the followers of Jesus who come across this FaithShip, please pray that she will get well soon, that I still have time to fix my mistakes. Jesus I believe in you, I believe in your Miracle, I believe you always plan the good things for your loves. Amen and thank you.

The Always Kind God

When dealing with tough situation, we must stick to our believe that He is never away from us.

Take a look Psalm 23:1-6, from that we can learn ups and downs of life.

These are 4 situations that can be drawn from Psalm 23:1-6:
1. Good moment
Psalm 23:1.
He guide David and supplied his needs.
Psalm 23:2.
In Christianity, Lord is our Shepard and we are His sheep. Green pastures are food heaven for sheep. So this verse denotes how God provided abundant food and other necessity for David.
Psalm 23:3.
He took care of David.

2. Tough moment
Psalm 23:4

3. Elation moment
Psalm 23:5

4. Joyful moment
Psalm 23:6

Notice that that from 4 situations, God only allowed hard time to touch David once, and in that tough moment He didn't leave David at all.

What about Job? How could God let that biggest-catastrophe-ever to happen?

Hang in there....I will try to remember more today's sermon tomorrow.

Hate vs Love

...off the Chlog...

I finally take off Persecutionblog link from my blog.
I would agree with it if its focus were to strengthen all Christians who live in non-Christian countries who are facing problems in carrying out their faiths.

All I can see in that persecution blog is hatred, weakening some Christians' faith and diminishing God's power.

Read this entry that I quote from its November 2, 2005 entry:

More Beheading Pictures

Are you grossed out? Good. I had a friend send me more pictures of this grisly beheading that is continuing to be ignored by the mainstream media.
And all I can say is that if you think that being a Christian in a country where Islam is the majority religion, well, this is your future.

Do you think Jesus would agree with that sayings?
Why then God sent Jesus to this world if not to face dangers to safe us human?
......Love your enemies
.........Do good to those who persecute you

Who said carrying the Cross is easy?
Please pray for my country, Indonesia.
God bless you all, thank you.
