11.8.2009 - Romans 1:18-32

these verses were about people sinning. some of the points were

everyone knows about God. everyone knows the rules and how amazing he is. when people talk about God they always talk about how God creating the world is not true, so they know the truth they just don't live by it. These verses talk about just sinners and how we suffer.

v. 26-27 ish talks about Homosexual ism and how it's not righteous and it's true that God made us this way to for male to love female and female to love male, but yet people go out and do things other wise. something that scared me the most was the last verse talked about how sinners are going around and sharing what they believe in...

This makes me sick... I think Gays and Lesbians are so much better at sharing their beliefs then us christians. Christians tend to hold their beliefs to themselves when we should be sharing our good news.

so let's go share the good news... the gospel... even though we fail... so much... but God helps us to share so let's keep on living our christian life

11.7.2009 - Roman 1: 8-17

This is the introduction to Paul talking to Romans and it's so blessing as he introduce himself to the romans and talks about how much he wants to be there and preach the word of God there. First few verses just talks about Thanking God.

I think this is one of the most underrated thing that Christians do and that is to thank God for every little thing that happen to us. We don't deserve anything and God gives us so much... We need to thank God for everything and specially for being able to serve God and being able to worship him.

another thing was that he has been praying for all the romans. I think one of the thing that current generation of Christian lack is praying for each other. We are all fighting the same battle and we need to really be on the same side. we gotta be here for each other and Paul just gives us such an excellent example of what we should be doing to each other!

lastly... we need to stop being ashamed of God. Sometimes we forget about how awesome and wonderful God is.. and be ashamed of him. that meaning having time to share God we choose not to because of how we are gonna be judged by other people.

As they end these verses "The righteous will live by faith"

11.6.2009 - alabaster jar

I love this song and it really touches me all the time when i sing this. God is worthy of all the praise we give him and im sure we don't give him enough.. there are many things we value in this world more then God sometimes. i think those are what you call alabaster jar. This came from Bible when a women broke a bottle of alabaster jar with precious oil in it. although in the world these things cost so much, the women made her point of showing her love towards God by breaking what's valuable in this world. I think there are things I value highly in this world. and it would be hard to give it up for God

but really we should beable to give up really easily, because God gave up his life so that we should live our life for him

11.5.2009 - Romans 1:1-7

this is starting of romans. I decided to start reading romans. This is a book written by Paul, and i really love the first few verses. Paul talks about a lot of things about being called to serve and how God calls us his. This is very just awesome just Paul talking about serving God. I think one of the biggest gift from God is to beable to serve him.

v.6 says "and you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ"

which just shows you how much important God is to us. We belong to him and we need to do our all to serve him.

I'm very excited to read romans....

11.4.2009 - Ephesians 1:9-10

“And he made known to us the mystery of his will

according to his good pleasure, which he purposed

in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will

have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things

in heaven and on earth together under one head,

even Christ.”- Ephesians 1:9-10

God's will is so hard to read. sometimes people wonder what they want to do in their life and some people has told me that they wish God can just come to them and say "DO THIS!" and that just makes you want to do something. I think God gives us freewill in that point of view of what we will do, but his will is so mysterious because we don't know what it is. I think sometimes God really just show us the way, but sometimes his wills is hard to read... I think I'm gonna just try pray and talk to God!

11.3.2009 - 2 Corinthians 3:6

“He has made us competent as ministers
of a new covenant—not of the letter but
of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but
the Spirit gives life.”- 2 Corinthians 3:6

the holy spirit is mentioned in the bible many times, and it's amazing how spirit goes around to all our souls.

God is amazing that he made us a tool.. he made us something that he can use to bless this nation. that's just amazing hearing it. he made us competent as minister of a new covenant. and i think he made us as leaders to lead churches the right way. i think it's important to always look after each other and God will lead us...

11.2.2009 - Romans 13:1

“[Submission to the Authorities] Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”- Romans 13:1

we need to follow the law as much as law of the God. sometimes we ignore and try to rebel against the government, but unless God tells you to do so, we should be living according to the law and be a good citizen. Christians are suppose to be a good citizen of earth... its hard being christian because we need to live according to law of earth and law of the heavens. I think law of the heavens sometimes clashes law of the earth, that's when we need to follow God's law.

we must submit and live for christ...
