“Therefore, as God's chosen people,
holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience." - Colossians 3:12
we need to know this... WE ARE GOD's CHOSEN PEOPLE!
we need to figure this out and realize this so that
we can love each other and be there for each other.
kindness? humility? gentleness? patience?
is that what we show the world?
sometimes i can't find that quality in people around me
or even me....
it's wierd... let's wake up and smell the truth...
let's do what it says in the book... THE BIBLE

Mar 11 - 2 Peter 1:4
“Through these he has given us
his very great and precious promises,
so that through them you may
participate in the divine nature and
escape the corruption in the world
caused by evil desires.”- 2 Peter 1:4
Bible is about God giving us so much that we need to give back...
some people say why? why are we doing thing? why are we living this christian life. if we don't do works then do we not get saved? if i believe in God and have faith in him but not do works shouldn't i still be faith because people get saved in faith alone?
What i believe is.. if you are saying that you don't need to do works to be saved... do you really have faith? do you really love God and trust in him with all your heart?
we should do things for God because we love him... not because we have to... love is the key... God does things for us and forgives us because he wants to and because he loves us... so let's be the same... God don't have to save us... so we don't have to do works for God... but if we love him... we need to give back to God and show him that there is more than just discipline in Christianity...

Mar 10 - Deuteronomy 7:9
“Know therefore that the LORD
your God is God; he is the faithful
God, keeping his covenant of love
to a thousand generations of those
who love him and keep his commands.”
- Deuteronomy 7:9
God never fails...
"You never fail..." - everlasting love

but God never does... so why believe
in myself... when i can believe in God...
that is all i want to say for today...

Mar 9 - 1 Peter 3:15
Arrogant Christian...
sometimes Christians tend to look down on non christians. It's how we are born to be. If you know your saved sometimes you will be ignorant, but we all got to know that we are all not perfect and Christians do sin as much sometimes more then non believers. there is a BIG difference between non believers and believers and it's our faith and when we are challenged sometimes what we say can be offensive to the other party and we just sometimes simply don't care, because they are stupid for not believing in God!
wrong...
“But in your hearts set apart Christ
as Lord. Always be prepared to give
an answer to everyone who asks you
to give the reason for the hope that
you have. But do this with gentleness
and respect,”- 1 Peter 3:15
our heart is set on Christ... we know what's right and what's wrong and why we don't do this or why we don't do that. We don't do things because God is all mighty and he can save us all, and we don't sin because of the bible. because of what God said... some people don't do things because of something inside them or w/e, but! we shouldn't be offensive and mean about those comments. those people who your sharing your life with are God's creation also and you can't just say mean things to them because they don't believe in God. sometimes when you act more holy... God will change their hearts... maybe it's meant to be.... maybe it's meant to be that, because you were nice and because you did one Act of Random Kindess (from evan all mighty... that's why you build an ark!) you might change someone's heart and maybe God plan was for you to change that person's heart... so let's love and do one act of random kindness

Mar 8 - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
“[The God of All Comfort] Praise be to the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father
of compassion and the God of all comfort, who
comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can
comfort those in any trouble with the comfort
we ourselves have received from God.”- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
some people won't agree with this passage. there are many times we go through hardship and we feel like God doesn't care.
"GOD DOESNT CARE ABOUT US!"
that's what satan (the other side) makes us feel like, but as the passage said... God comforts us... no matter what because he loves us. he makes us go through hardship because he wants us to grow. Today Dave Adams talked about going through hardship to grow in Christ. i don't know how much that is true. we need to go through hard ship to grow but God will only do us things that we can handle. this i promise you.
God loves us and when something bad happens... you know that God wants you to grow and become stronger. one of the saying that i live by is "if it doesn't kill you then it'll make you stronger..." God will never kill you... because he loves us... he only wants us to become stronger... let's take more responsibility and do our job of being a Christian! let's love God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father
of compassion and the God of all comfort, who
comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can
comfort those in any trouble with the comfort

Mar 7 - John 15:18-19
Is Christianity religion or chore for you?
this is first blog i'm going to do that's going to be a rant/a challenge to myself and maybe others. sometimes believe that people and even me see Christianity as a chore. we've all lived life as sinner before and it's so easy. even if you were born into lovely Christianity family that is very protective and conservative... after awhile when you see the outside world... you will see how easy it is... to live in the world if you go with the flow.
if you had a choice to swear... steal... lie... without feeling the... "i shouldn't be doing this because of the bible"... people sleep around without feeling any guilt... actually some people is proud of what they do. so what is christianity to you? do you do it because you want to make difference... you want to be the salt and light of the world for God. because also if you want to make difference... but you want to make difference for your own glory... that's also bad way to look at it... I think in all... basic idea of Christianity is an amazing idea and religion. everytime i talk about what i know about Christianity... love other... love is what matters... it's amazing what God does for us.
i believe Christianity is awesome... if we keep checking up on ourself... i'd like to put this
18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it
hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world,
it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not
belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world. That is why the world hates you.
- john 15:18-19
world will hate us and this life we lead... is going to be hard... always... but it's our job to keep our head high and lead on God... and think of Christianity as not religion or chore, but family... so that we can lean on each other.... and help one another... sometimes when i see Christians putting each other down... that's not right... i mean it's good to point out people's flaw for their growth... but there are times when people say things... when they really don't need to...
let's love...

Mar 6 - Isaiah 25:1
“[Praise to the LORD] O LORD, you are
my God; I will exalt you and praise your
name, for in perfect faithfulness you have
done marvelous things, things planned
long ago.”- Isaiah 25:1
God is amazing... and indescribable... God did so much things for us and we haven't done as much as we should to God. let's give back to God. God is... well... God! we need to exalt him and praise his name because he is God and he is worthy of all praise. our life is planned way before we were born and God plan to save us way before it actually happen. Jesus saved us... when he died he knew about us.

Mar 3 - Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong
and courageous. Do not be terrified; do
not be discouraged, for the LORD your
God will be with you wherever you go.”
- Joshua 1:9
Sometimes we don't have trust in God. sometimes we think we can't do something because it's scary, because it's tough... because it's just hard... but something that we should be getting out of this is that. God is with us... what should we be scared of? We need to be strong in everything we do in His name, because he is strong. and because he is strong we are strong. God is the greatest weapon we have and God is just amazing.
i believe everything that happen is God's doing and if God wants you to do something... no matter what it will happen so let's keep our chin up and face everything... because God is with us!
listening to... with me - chris tomlin... doesn't this song speak to you?
because he is with us.... we are strong and we'll never fail...
i will not be afraid i will never be ashmed because YOU are with me
and courageous. Do not be terrified; do
not be discouraged, for the LORD your
God will be with you wherever you go.”
- Joshua 1:9

Mar 2 - Acts 8:3
3But Saul began to destroy the church.
Going from house to house, he dragged
off men and women and put them in prison.
- Acts 8:3
This Saul we're talking about is Paul. The disiple of christ. it's amazing how Jesus can take such person as Saul and make him into Paul. sometimes we judge. we judge how this person is going to be a good leader or this person is not going to be a good leader. but that's not right. God had plan for saul that no one in that world knew. what happen if one day hitler turned out to be an amazing christian that saves everyone... no one is going to guess that. God works in people. and God works in mysterious ways. just because someone believe that this person doesn't deserve to serve or lead... everyone deserves a chance and we should live by that... everyone deserves a chance...

Mar 1 - Psalm 73:25-26
“Whom have I in heaven but you? And
earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God
is the strength of my heart and my portion
forever.”- Psalm 73:25-26
God is all we have... as christians we need to live our life for God. we need to desire him. i think the verse that grabs me is my heart and flesh might fail. our death is something that is going to happen. i'm not saying it should happen, but we are weak human being. God will always be here for us and he never dies and he can give us that eternal life or eternal life. he is mighty and strong. God is hard to describe sometimes. it's just... wow...
there's a song called indescribable and there is a good reason... it's hard to describe God's love... God's grace... He is another demension from us... God is amazing...
