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.

Worship in Question

Hey,

I believe about worship to be a personal thing with God. Worship do not just come down to singing praise and hymns songs. Worship should be lifestyle in the Christian life. Worship is something that should be amplify to show Christ in one's life. It is a personal growth in relationship with Christ. It is "how do you show your love for Christ?" to the him (Jesus Christ) and the world.
In this style of worship, everyone who is a Christian has to participate in the church or have something to prove their love for Christ.
I like to see churches to go back to the Bible ways. The 1st century church. Beginning in Acts 2:42-47:
⁴² They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. ⁴³ Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. ⁴⁴ All the believers were together and had everything in common. ⁴⁵ They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. ⁴⁶ Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, ⁴⁷ praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

This shows the ideal church worship setting. We should not be 21st century church with new rules and setting our own ideas about church. We should be a church that centers in Bible foundation and be 1st century church in the 21st century setting.
For every Christian, should be a growing more becoming of Lord Jesus Christ to image him. To grow more in sanctification.
We Christians have to grow from the time we first convert to Christianity because once converted we are like newborn babies.
I like the Biblical truth that my Prof Ergun Caner say about the stages that a Christians should go through. Base on 1 Peter 2:1-10

1. Convert - this stage the convert craves for spiritual milk. And they act like a baby because they are new.
2. Committed - This stage the committed knows how to feed him/her-self like doing devotion, participation in church. Willingness to grow. The act of a youth.
3. Compassionate - This stage the compassionate is willing to share his/her life with others. To do God's work like doing ministry and lead others. The know God deeply. They act like young adults.
   
4. Crucified - This stage the crucified is wanting/letting Jesus Christ guide their life. They give up their rights of their life to just follow Lord Jesus Christ will in their life. They show the importance of Christ more than their life. They act like adults.

The worship that is shown by a Christian is personal. One to one with God. A growing relationship. And as a body of Christ, each part plays an important role. Let's be 1st century church in 21st century. It's time to grow up. Be real for Christ.

Jesus Christ loves you

Total Realization.

Hey,

I have come to notice my relationship with God has great improve. My time spending on scripture is amazing. The memorization on the Word of God not but is better than last year. I dare boast about my God has kept on changing my heart. I begin to see things in all different views. The more i pour myself to know God's wants in my life has greatly bless me in His ways.

The verse that has kept me on track is Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct your path" and Mark 5: 25-38 is about the woman who had internal bleeding and had amazing faith to be healed.

This two verses has been my core foundation and kept me forward and humbling myself to learn more from God. This journey was tough and easy at times.

God i love you with all my all. I see you as my King, my Savior, my Friend, and my Lover.

Jesus Christ loves you. Till next post smile.

The Cubes of Colors

Hi,

Spring break. My shadow day to day has become my best friend. Resting my head on the bed seeing my shadow making faces at me. Talking to myself have become so easy. Running thoughts just jogging through and though.

The times have change. The sky above have change into bright blue with pockets of white. A touch of rain and wind comes comes to let the seeds travel nice and far. Spring time is around. Summer is knocking on Springs door.

The sun still hides behind the clouds. Spring is not letting in Summer yet. The hot brisk do still leaks in and out.

Seeing myself in the shower time to time. Hearing singing in the bathroom walls. Oldies like the good old days. How much could I remember oldies.

The spaces in my room are filled with melody from the electronic device. "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" was filling it. The smooth tones of music create a change of emotion in myself. Loneness i feel.

The window I see from my window. Empty. People have left from break. Yet to see them another week. Roaming outside is just void. The birds of the air have gone too. Only me that is left with my shadow.

A great time i had with my shadow. We played. We singed. We celebrate. We became buddies. Nothing could separate us. Romantic we are.

Today. Today. Today. Spring break have come to a close. Cars of different colors return to their usual spaces. Laughing and friendship are reunited. Untold tales of each person being share to fill the happiness in the time.

I'm happy as ever. I got to know myself better. A newer man I become. A friendship that i would know last for eternally. My love for Christ has grown to show that he is so real. so real.

Jesus Christ loves you.

Time Will Tell

Hey,

Have you wonder in your mind the things you done in life that are good and bad. Like how much the good in you feels like and the bad feels so rotten.

to tell you that is your conscious speaking in which it is the Holy Spirit in you.

In beginning of beginning when God created everything and through history. God has not given the Holy Spirit till Jesus Christ die on the cross. During this time, people really on their conscious. (i know i'm stirring up some commotion.)

Anyway, i just want to say is that God is in your life even you don't accept Him or you do. Christianity is not a religion. In fact, it is a relationship. You can come to Him as your Father or friend or lover.

This Jesus Christ guy came down as a God to become a perfect man (born from a virgin) to save the human race. He help us (everyone past present future) to be clean from sin. It is the only matter of you accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. I promise you your life would not be the same.

So what do you say?

Jesus Christ loves you.
