Calling to all: LOOK AT YOURSELF

I've been really wondering what have we become. What this generation have become because of the things that influences us.
I've seen the twin tower fall, the war in Iraq, the Invisible children of every nations, disaster due to climate change, death of many popular people. I've seen the change of this generation: From bad to worse.

Let me share you a Scripture found in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 "1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them." NIV

We are now living in the last days. The last days have started after Jesus' resurrection until His second comming. It's not really difficult to live as a Christian in our world today compared to the early days of Christianity where fellowships are prohibited and worshipping God was a big NO-NO to a certain land or get jailed for sharing the gospel. We are still grateful that we're living in a free country, so let's make most of our time in obeying God.

How amazing Paul have described the behavior of our society today from His letter to Timothy. Sad to say, even Christians are guilty for this. I think this is a good wake-up call to all Christians to take a look, observe and check yourselves against what Paul has written.

I know it's not easy. Change takes time but the most important thing is that status of your heart. How much you love God will determine at how much you can give your life to Him in obeying His commands and keeping yourselves pure and Holy.

God said "Ask and you shall recieve". If we ask God to change us, we must believe in Him and doubt. Trust in Him with everything and He will direct you. Rest assured that no matter what may happen, His gentle hands and His love will sustain and keep you from harm. He promises everlasting life from His son's name Jesus Christ.

Accept Him and make Him the Savior and Lord of your life and He will enter your heart and be with your forever more.(ref: John 3:16)

The Holiness Ladder

I really never been able to read the bible(entirely), but thank God our church made its way of really encouraging us to read it page by page.

Truly enough the Word of God is alive and is moving to those who are reading them. I am on my journey in the book of Leviticus 22. It touches me how God made us holy because He is holy himself.

I must admit living a holy life isn't that easy, however according to Philippians 4:13 says: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength", yes indeed, we Christians are able to do it; We just have to make sure what tools to use to fight for the battle. :)

Many people have asked me, why I haven't considered anyone in my life. Well, the answer is simple. I am waiting. I am holy waiting for the right man to come for it is good in the sight of God.

Never let your guard down. Keep on doing what God is telling you to do! Keep His word in your heart and you will live. God bless.

When Love Strikes

We, as human beings are created for someone. Don't believe me? well, why don't we go down memory lane?

If you don't believe in the bible, well I don't know if you will agree with me or not but I do believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

In Genesis Chapter 2, after our gracious and loving God created everything that we can see, feel and hear He created Adam - the root of all human beings. Then when God saw that he's not happy and he needs someone to be with him, He created Eve and the rest is history.

We are created out of love that is why we needed love. We are created that way. I wonder why there is a quarrel between lovers and when the moment that a partner decided to be with the other person; there are tears because the other one left.

I am a believer. I can somewhat understand the true meaning of love. The meaning of love can be found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. If you will read it carefully, you will understand the meaning of true love and I guess there will be no person in the world who will cry because of a heartache.
