TEARS

There is a reason.

LOVE

June 8, 2006

My love is still growing, there are many times I cannot express in words my feelings, also in my actions too. There is an uneasiness in the air and I am comforted by that fact that even though I cannot express the full love of my Savior, it is always there. (more…)

Truth.  What is truth?  How can somebody be absolutely certain? (more…)

Part two: the food for thought

February 23, 2006

Ok so in the last post I mentioned a discussion I had during fellowship. After the designed fellowship about the 5 points true christians should acknowledge, I talked to a brothers about eternal security. Although the phrase “eternal security” never came about we talked about it, and a brother said that you can never be unborn, and God will never forsake you, I agreed with that God will never forsake you, He is always ready for you to accept him. The unborn part was abit unclear to me, he had scripture saying that once you are born nothing will ever separate you from God, but I tried to argue “what if i choose to do something wrong, against God’s will?” He responded “You are still born and you cannot be unborn from God.”

I was silent.

He also said nothing get get you when you are in God’s hand, I said “Thats right, but you can choose to not be in God’s hand.” Then I had to go. It seemed that he believed in eternal security, and me and another fellow were not so sold on eternal security.

I’m sure had we had more time to talk we may have concluded to the same point, but I don’t know. God will always be ready and willing to take you as His own, regardless of your past. After that we need to exhibit the friuts of the spirit, which is from God’s power. We are accountable and can choose our own destiny.

What you all think?

So I finally got one

February 23, 2006

Hello eveybody! I always seem to eat my words, I told friends I’ll never get an iPud (iPod) and next thing you know I got a 30G pic and video iPud, I know I know….brutal. Well this is another example, I told friends I’ll never get a blog but guess what? You are reading it now. Funny how things work out.

So I think this blog will be good for me in many ways, it connects me to my friends, and helps me think over some everyday issues I come across. For example, I went to a BS (bible study) today with Christian Students on Campus, and we discussed the 5 main points the any Christian believer should acknowledge:

1) Bible as the devine word of God, 2Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”

2) The Trinity as shown by Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”

3) Jesus was both a physical man and God simultaneously as shown by two verses in John, the 1:1 says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” and later in verse 14 “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

4) Jesus’s Work, not just his ministry and miracles but his life. Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

5) Salvation through Jesus Christ. This is exemplified by Romans 10:9-13 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Each of these are true and we all can appreciate these points in our own way independently. I certainly did. This BS helps gain refocus on God and enjoy fellowship with brothers and sisters, although life may be in disarray God is faithful, and the BS helps me to realize that. I am also thankful for the constant of friends who are filled by the spirit. Thank you.
