May God…

May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.
(Romans 15:5 NLT)

This is so true. We only can live in complete harmony with other people (or our neighbors) when we have patience and encouragement. These two gifts are only from God through the work of the Holy Spirit in our life. These are two characters show to the others that we are true followers of Chris Jesus. Because they are given by God, what we only can do is asking and we shall be given (Matthew 7:7). Yep, that’s the only way: PRAY.

Pulling Out The Weeds

Before and After

It was at least 85 degree F (or 29.4 degree C).

It was hot and sunny.

It was 4:30 p.m.

I was tired and sleepy, craving for nap a little bit before we got companies for dinner. But I just kept myself busy inside and outside. After watering my plants, I saw the weeds at one of our flower beds were so tall and were fighting to take over the space from my Gladiolus plants. Not good, I thought. So I sit there on the short wall and started pulling them out. One by one without gloves (I throw them away because got soak in the rain storms and gross!).

It was about in half way to go, my head was getting hot and I was about to give up and stop doing it, I suddenly heard a soft little voice but so clear in my heart and head speaking to me about one of the parable that Jesus told the people. It was in Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43.

Five Minute Friday: Wonder

Soputan Mt., North Sulawesi, Indonesia (by Dave Gullett, 06:00 AM local time, 2008/08/16)

I am thinking about this Friday topic for 2 days! The topic of this 5 Minute Friday is “W.O.N.D.E.R.” One think that I could think about this word is what God has been doing in my life since 9 years ago.

As a verb, one of the descriptions of the word wonder is desire or be curious to know something. That was what I did up till 10 years ago. I was wondering if my life would be different and changed and if I would have hope and better future. And a year later, yes, it was 10 years ago I found the answer. God found me and opened my eyes to the real God and experience his unconditional love and eternal hope that I have in Jesus Christ.

That is what I call “The Wonder”, all what God has been doing in my life since the day he found, redeemed and saved me. Up till now, He still do his wonders in my life, my families and friends. The wonders that Jesus did when he as on earth never just stop there when he went up to heaven and sit on the right hand of God, but those wonders are still happening up till now and even continue until Jesus comes back in his glory.

Why We Believe The Bible

 

The Bible is not a book that gives good advice or tells you how to live your life. The Bible is the Word of God, and the whole Bible is about Jesus.

This clip is taken from the sermon “The Bible Is about Jesus,” preached by Pastor Mark Driscoll at the Mars Hill Church Ballard campus in Seattle, Washington, on May 29, 2011. It is the 76th sermon in our sermon series on the Gospel of Luke.
