Sharing In the Identity Of God Through Work

Imahe
Graduation is over, former students from different colleges and universities are now starting to find jobs, a career that dignifies themselves; and we can say that the real world is prepared to hit them - HARD! Many workers now are struggling with their jobs, with their bosses, and some with their salaries.  The works they are doing seems without any purpose, dignity, or far from satisfying their growth as individuals. As far as we all know, most of us didn't expect these when we were young and just dreaming. For those young people who are looking for a perfect job, those who already found jobs and even for those who are now enduring their jobs; the Lord have a wonderful message for you! We are all created for three (3) beautiful things Man is created in the very image and likeness of God. So, we share in the very nature of God; God being a Laborer (Creator), God having rest or Leisure, and God being Love. Hence, we were created for Labor, Leisure, and Love. B...

Why?! God Is Pulling Me Away From My Goal!

Imahe
Have you ever experienced a moment in your life, that even if you think that you have already seen your goal and taking the right path towards it, in the end, it seems that you are doing it all wrong? Or have your ever worked on something, expecting it to be a job well done, but still didn't go the way you planned it to be? Or is it that you are about to start doing something you know is beneficial, but an obstacle happened and you feel that it's not the right time?  You're not alone! We are all experiencing failure that seems impossible to repair, pain that's seems cannot be taken away from our hearts, waiting moments that we think there is nothing we can do but to just wait, and many more. We all experience these things, and for sure no one is exempted, NOT EVEN JESUS! In Matthew chapter 4 verses 1 to 3 we can read: 'Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungr...

Examine Yourselves! It's A Must Before Taking The Holy Communion!

Imahe
Morning, on 7th of November, 2017, I was lying on my bed, thinking of the things Christians should know and understand. When God gave me (according to His grace) a revelation, which I know is from an old and infallible teaching of the church -- the holy communion . I was thinking about mortals sins at that time when this Scripture from I Corinthians 11: 27-29 struck my mind, it says, 'Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgement on himself.' . See that St. Paul here is talking about the proper way to take the communion, that the faithful should first examine himself for any mortal and venial sins that he has been committed before he take the communion. But what is SIN that we may examine ourselves ...

Top 5 False Christian Teachings We Still Believe Today

Imahe
Let me first clarify myself, I'm not referring to a specific sect; rather, a Christian church in general. There are many Christian churches, many Christian people, doctrines, and many beautiful preaching from different preachers; therefore, we can't be so sure who's telling right or wrong. Let me present to you the top five(5) Christian teachings that may be false according to the scripture: 1.  You will be saved by just believing in Jesus This teaching is so familiar with Christians nowadays, that by believing and accepting Jesus in your heart will get you into heaven, no works needed, just believe and you will be saved. Why is it false? Believing doesn't mean following, these are two different things! The scripture says in James 2:19 '...Even the demons believe - and shudder!'. We can't deny that believing is good, and that's one step to salvation, but it doesn't mean that we should just believe. Though some scripture speaks about believi...

Feeling Depressed? There's Hope!

Imahe
During this month of October, I've seen a lot of social media posts regarding depression . A video of someone saying that it's just an act or self-inflicted, other posts suggest that it's actually a very serious problem nowadays, especially of the youth, and others alike. I wonder what depression really is, so, I pray for wisdom and conducted my own research about it. As a result, I've found a horrifying truth, it is indeed a serious problem . Someone who suffers depression experiences something more than just sadness. The pain they have are on a different level, it is never be for show; rather, they keep everything within themselves. They feel useless, alone, guilty, and helpless, they even lost interest on the things they once does. No wonder many commit suicide because it also affects the way they act and think. I believe it is unfair for them to say 'we know how they feel', because we don't.  They  really  need help! There's still hope! For...

Am I Walking The Right Path?

Imahe
"Am I doing it right?", "Am I doing the will of God?", "Am I becoming what God really wants me to be?". These questions are big dilemmas for not a few Christians I know. I myself had formerly thought about these things. I was serving and loving God for a couple of years but I always had thoughts about these questions. I admit, I became confused, but not until I found a passage that really changed the way I see the things of God. Knowing the will of God for your life doesn't mean doing perfectly the tasks God designed for you to do, rather, it is  becoming the person God is designing you to become. But the question is, "What kind of person God wanted me to be?". A very impressive question, isn't it? The answer is found on Galatians chapter 5 starting from 22 up to 24, it reads like this (ESV Version): "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control: agai...
