Hmm

mmm Grad Serve or work?

Every Man a Miracle.

A thought just hit me (ouch!). What if i am given a chance to design "man"? It'd probably look like this:










Ha, God is just so awesome and creative that He could design us to have like ten fingers, hair and stuff. Lol thank God, i really cant imagine if we all look like this:











If it were really so, we wouldn't have been called "Man" but "Joke".

When i Survey the Wondrous Cross.

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o’er His body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Would you once again travel down the road to calvary, to that old rugged cross on which He died for you? Oh, would you not survey that cross once again and remember what He did?

Come back all ye who have lost your way,
Come back all ye who are defeated,
Come back all ye who are weary.

Come back and behold the very reason why He was nailed to that very cross.

Good Christian / Bad Christian.

Ha it's funny why we humans have to compare every single thing in the world. So what am i? A good christian or a bad one? If i say that i'm a good christian just because i adhere to all the rules and regulations (or law) then it'd be a joke because then i'd be under law and not grace and no human can fulfill every single law as prescribed in the Bible. So i'd be living either in a lie or in serious trouble because i would be judged by the law.

So am i a bad one since i'm not a good one? Nope i'm not a bad one either, because if i were to call myself a bad christian it will be like throwing myself a pity party, with every single condemning spirit invited. (Much like inviting every single bully in your school to surround you and laugh, sneer and whatever at you.)

I would just like to be, simply, a Christian. (and i'm turning 2 end of this month! yay!) Aha sometimes i guess we just have to cut out the comparative terms and just focus on what it really means to be a christian. The definition of the word "christian" simply means this, "a follower of Christ". The peeps at Antioch were the first to be called that because of their pursuit for Christ and it's such a privilege for us to be called that too. And there's really no need to compare because we're not running this race against each other for the crown of life (oh my, imagine that. I dont think we even stand a chance against Paul and the ol'Saints gang.).

heh. And about following Christ, that'd be a devotional thought by itself and a post for another day.

Jeremiah O Jeremiah Why Do You Weep?

Jeremiah O Jeremiah Why Do You Weep?

1 week into the new year!

Okay i'm being bogged down by work which leaves me with little time to blog. I'm one week late at posting my resolutions! This is my new year resolutions:

*empty list*

yea man that's right i dont really have a list of resolutions coz from my past years' experiences, they're just a bunch of stuff that i tried really hard to do with my own strength and phail terribly. So i shall give it a new name, resolutions-by-Gods'-grace.

1. Go on a mission trip.

Yeap, i've got only half a year till i get enlisted and i do pray that God would make a way for me to go to _______ for a mission trip.

2. Grow in my area of calling.

2008 was quite a discovery year and i do felt called to _______. From now till then, i'm sure God has lotsa pruning to do.

3. Love others like how Jesus does.

God is love and i'm not (yet). It's one big area that i really suck at. Gotta devote more of myself to others around me.


I think that's all. One really encouraging verse for me is this: "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6

Striking the Balance. Not.

Merry Christmas anyone! =)

Okay i got myself thinking really hard after reading a blog post from a friend. It was about how unchristian christians being looked down upon, isolated and ignored by a so-called "set-apart" group of christians that are on fire for God. This was the icing on the cake that God's giving me today, the cake of conviction of course. I'm sadden by my loveless-ness.

I was hoping to do some charity work this Christmas night. I walked down a underpass with 3 needy people selling tissue papers and i did nothing. nothing at all. yea so much for "charity work". I dont love them enough. Then a Voice said, "How can you love the people outside when you cant love the people inside?". Certainly my heart has grown cold, cold enough to stop loving (agape).

You are on fire for God, pursuing Him with all that you have, trying your best to live a holy life by His strength and grace. You see someone not doing so well, his heart hardened to God and it was as if he couldn't care less if God was still real to him. You see his attitude, his actions and the words he uses just ticks you off. You get a "holy dissatisfaction, or a holy anger", you judge, you say to yourself, "i'm not going near him lest i get polluted, i just want to be with my Jesus." You thought you judge righteously, you thought you were like Jesus flippin' those tables of those thugs in the temple. But you forgot all about the Jesus who dined with sinners. Oh and also the Jesus who died for their sins.

God have mercy on me. I'm that "you" in that previous paragraph. Oh that i may love the way my Saviour does. That i may tilt the balance towards love over judgement...
