Long Time

Hey,

i'm excited to come home soon. School here is coming to a close with exams to wrap up everything. i feel that i have finish this semester strong. i just simply love what the Lord is doing in my life. He is soaking me with His blessing giving me good results.
i simply hope that i can continue to study here. As money is slowly becoming an issue.

One thing i can say that the Lord is good and i will follow Him to the ends of the earth for Him. If His will is for me to continue to study here then He shall provide with the necessary income for me.

Anyway, i'm truly excited to go home in a less than 2 weeks. i cannot stop looking at the clock and days just wishing to go home. Really homesick i guess. What is exciting is the things that i'm hearing about my church. The new ministries that are slowly opening up and people stepping forward into position. Awesome.

Beside with all the good news, there must come with prayer too. The prayer i need are...
1. Pray that i finish this semester strong. i got four more exams to go: creation studies, English, Kinesiology, and Church history.
2. Pray for financial that God would provide and also that the school would open up job spaces for me to take.
3. Pray that whatever i have learn would come to remembrance and i would able to apply it on the exam.
4. Pray for my relationship with Christ that it would be deepen and just be saturated with His understand of scripture.
5. Pray for my well-being.

Love you all. Take care. I will be back soon.

Jesus Christ loves you.

Chosen But Free

Hey viewers,

Recently i have been reading this book by Norman L. Geisler, Chosen But Free, the book is amazingly insightful. This book gives a great view about God is. Every time i read it, it just add more foundation to my faith. The first thing that i want to comment about this book is the amount scripture evidence support use. He wisely use the scripture as what it mean and explain it appropriately. I can see that this guy has a lot of respect for the Word of God.

He writes about God's will and God's sovereignty in how people argue that is not really evident and just superficial. Well that is not the case.

I really agree with his point that God's will is not superficial and the hyper-Calvinsim makes God out to be a God that does not follow His nature. Whatever that God says about himself to be he cannot change that and it will forever be the same. Like God is love or God is omniscience or God is just, etc. All that cannot be change. God does not change for us or what we think God can change. God does not need to change because He is holy and love. So please don't put God in a box. The problem is that we have such a limited view about God.

Another point that extreme Arminianism view causes God's will to be finite like you and me. But we all know that God is omniscient. God does not live in the time we are in because He is the creator of time. Free will is giving from God because he wants us to make the choice in whether to follow Him or not. The problem about this is that is hard to truly understand God. He is too really comprehended. We are only able to see glimpses of Him and His power.

The idea to try to discover God would be a huge dilemma. The evidence from history, philosophy and scripture is not enough. The area on relationship with God’s will and free choice of human beings will remain a mystery. We can try to come up with ideas on the issue but this cannot come with reason alone.

Overall, this book has giving me a great insight to this issue. I feel that if are to really need to know God better. We have to read the Word of God more in-depth with prayer asking the Holy Spirit to guide us and creating a stronger bond with Our God. We have to let God’s revelation grow in us. Questioning the scripture and listening to the Holy Spirit is the beginning in understanding God.
