2006年6月7日 上午3點30分50秒Happiness cum reconciliation time cum hopeful hear
Tomorrow my mom is coming down to KL. Well I am not sure the reason why she came down but I am quite excited though. One of the reason is because I can meet my mom again. Yippie!!! Not to forget I would be able to stay and eat for free throughout this whole weekend cause I might be going down to KL to meet my mom and stays in my uncle's house. At least I felt saved and secure (i mean in monetary term) since I am going to stay with them. I know there are ppl out there who would be saying the word like, "babi" but hey.. that's my life.. I need to survive. =)
Not to forget, I am going to meet a friend this weekend. Well the reason why this friend is blog here is because well he makes me angry over him and I actually have some grudge over him. I mean I done him no harm but he scolded me. And I kept it within my very own heart the bitterness because of him and his scolding. So I am going to meet up with him since he wanted to see me so desperately after the bad incident. Well one thing I would say here is that I would put an agreement friendship with him, it is something like what I did to a lot of my friends who hurt me. We would be friend and we shall continue to be friend but we would not (try very hard) scold with each other and everybody would make a peaceful talk with anger arouses. There would be no provoking and no angry tone that might attract anger into our own life. I mean I am not compromising anything with him but rather be clear of what we all talk about in order to avoid any argument. Wonder would that work or not? Well it work with a lot of my friend which had been re-conciled. Hope my friendship with him would be the same. =) I came to realised when a friend told me that perhaps I couldn't be blessed by God because I harboured so much of anger and bitterness in me and even unforgiveness too. God couldn't do anything cause I reluctantly to forgive others. That's why I am not blessed until now. Well what my friend say is true as well. So I am planning to make a first step to change and hope by doing that God would bless and touch me. =)
Okay lah.. Got to go and find work oredi.. Planning to apply by post, the job in KDU and UTAR. A friend of mine applied by post the job in UTAR and she get a reply within two days. Hope that me too though.. Honestly I felt more comfortable working either in college environment or in audit line rather than other field. Don't know why. =) Okay lah.. Chow now.. Please ppl continue to pray for me for my job application ya.. God bless.. =)
2006年6月4日 上午7點24分10秒My belief of why attending Sunday service....
There had been a lot of misguided thoughts of attending church to a lot of ppl. There are some ppl out there who felt their time is wasted by attending Sunday service. Well here in my humble blog, I would like to give a few humble opinion of why attending church or Sunday service is very important. If ever I gave a wrong opinion feel free to "kutuk" or critise me back. Feel free to any feedback. =)
I would like to say this by saying that church is a very important place for Christians to be. Well it is a place where Christians gather together to seek God and worship Him together in unity and in love and peace. It is because of this part of body in Christ that we are all living in harmonised and peaceful life. We prayed together in the church and we have our Holy Communion in the church as well. It is through church that we learnt His Words and it is also through church that we serve Him. For me, church is not just a building. It is a relationship with Him. It is all about ppl. A congregration. It is where we learnt new things and make a new life grow and plant new seed. Perhaps you may say we not necessarily need to do all those ministries in church. We can do it outside church. You are right. We can serve Him outside of the church. But how many of us know that (this is what I believe in) if not because of this Christian gathering, we would not know our callings. We would not know where we are heading. We might not know what God wants from us. You may again say that calling from God is for individual, not just for church. And God speaks to individual. Well you are right again. But in order to serve God, ain't we supposed to serve man? Jesus came down from heaven to serve man and not to be served. In fact Jesus have His own disciples, in fact 12 of them. For me that's church. Theirs are more like walking church cause they do not have their own building. Well we have our own buildings. Some may be big church and have the best architecture and made of the best raw material in the world. Some may be small church, located at a shoplot and may not have air-conditioned room but rather are still using ceiling fans or stand-up fans. But whatever type it is, it is still church. It is where Christian brothers and sisters should go or attend.
Some ppl might said that:, "Hey, the church is very fake, full of hypocritical ppl, full of proud and arrogant ppl, full of whatsoever bad ppl and they are full of love. Rather they are the "faker" of the church with their so-called structured duties and structured lifestyle where when they are in the church, they acted holy but after the church service is over, they are the real devils. They do not show love after the service is over. Instead they act like how the world is doing at the moment and be the "true believer" of the world's lifestyle. They say things they should not say and they do things they should not do. Whoa!!! If I were you, I would also rather stay at home sleep and not wanting to go to church but here's the truth that I believe apply to all of us.
Do you know that Jesus' church are also the same during His public ministry? Peter, one of Jesus' disciple disown Him 3 times after Jesus' sharing. Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Thomas did not believe that Jesus actually risen from the dead until Jesus shows him His nail wound and putting his finger into His wound (John 20: 24 - 29). I forgot which two of Jesus' disciples but they are brothers and they want Jesus to give them a seat, each at the right and left side when they all went to heaven. And the all the disciples very angry at them. Peter want to walk on the water but lose faith when there is storm happening. Well I can tell you a lot of more stories of different type of faithless disciples of Jesus and they formed Jesus' church.
Anyway what I am trying to tell you is this. There is no one perfect in a church and there are no perfect church. The only perfect church would be the church of Jesus Christ when we all go back to heaven. So if any of you felt that going to church is a waste of time, then Jesus Christ's church is also a waste of time and that His disciples are declared as failures since they failed to obey Him. God never call us failure cause we are not. We are able to rise up because God is for us. In my own understanding, we called an individual who is follower of Jesus Christ a Christian, but we called lots of invidual who follows Jesus as Christians or "The Church" because the church is make up of many Christians. Everybody during Jesus' that time was actually trying to seek His will and obey Him. So every Christians in the current Christian gathering of what we called a church now is seeking to know Him and obey Him and follow His will. So let us go to church to seek Him (our primary concern) and obey Him and not seek man, for seeking man would definitely hurt us a lot. That is what the 12 disciples were doing during Jesus' time.
So let us be blessed and attend the Sunday Service rather than seeking man. Man hurts but God don't. God bless... =)
