I can't comprehend

HOW can someone who trust in the Lord, to say "thank your buddha" , or trust in buddha?

Doesn't she knows that buddha is just a man? and not God?

I can't comprehend. She says "God bless you" to Christians, but other things to those of a different belief? .. and said that "she is not lucky.. or wat??

There is NO such things as "LUCK!" there is ONLY BLESSINGS !!

Lord, this is NOT right! I really can't take it.

I have learnt that if you dunno what to say, dun say! certain things is simply NO two-ways about it .. NO compromise. God is the only God.. there is NONE like HIM.

What she means by "thank your buddha" ?? OH manz... Crazy lor ..

Forgive her, Father.. she doesn't know what she is doing....

....

feel abit lazy to upload my pics ..

uhmm... hopefully can get the "mood" to load it over the weekend..

The "Do" and "Don't" of a Christian

am just pondering on some thoughts on the "do" and the "don't" as a Christian.

who set the rules? man or God? who decide?

there are many things that the world perceive Christians should not / must not be doing. the standard of Christians are very high, isn't it? Sometimes, they do forget that we are human too. we are NOT perfect, of cuz, we are growing to be like Christ.. everyday.. doesn't mean we don't sin..

i mean i feel that the question is not - "can or cannot" ... is that we CHOOSE NOT to do it if is not edifying to man, or does not glorify God..

"But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin." (Romans 14:23)

if the things we do (as Christians) will cause our brothers or sisters to stumble, choose not..

however, i feel that they are many "rules" (that is not from the Bible) that are mainly set by man, and not God.. to those who don't know the truth, they simply follow blindly.. just do everything in LOVE .. and not to please what others say.

How to be a true Christian?

How to be a true Christian ?
How to be a true believer that follow Jesus' commands...?

To follow Him, take up His cross daily, to forgive those who hurt us, to love our friends and our enemies, to pray and spend time with our Father in heaven.

Is that all it takes to be a good and faithful servant?

When there is so much of uncertainty in life.. so many obstacles, cloudy sky, stormy sea, rejections, hurts.. angers .. frustrations.. dark lonely hours..

How to count our blessings, to remember God's faithfulness..? We must always learn - "To walk by FAITH and not by sight "

I know we are not saved by our work, we don't have to gain credits, our heavenly Father still loves us as who we are.. forgive our sins..


But .. How to forgive? How to know that I have already forgiven him? Have I buried the hurt, concealed my emotional feelings.. I thought I have surrender it to God, but why the feelings seems "coming-back" again? How to let it go, and let God handle it?

Lord, teach me how to forgive..

The Other Side of Fear

Most of your fears would disappear if you would simply decide to walk right up to them.

Fear has only the power that you give it. Your fears can intimidate you or they can illuminate you. The choice is entirely up to you. Your fears can stop you or they can prepare you.


On the other side of fear, there is value, there is accomplishment, there is fulfillment. See fear as the gateway that it is, and make the choice to carefully and persistently go through it. Allow the fear to prepare you well, then move on past it. And be amazed at the great things you can do.



F = False
E = Evidence
A = Appearing
R = Real



"For God has not given us the spirit of fear;

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"


Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes. Have faith in God.


I'm telling you the truth, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; [and shall not doubt in his heart], but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he said.





Therefore I say unto you, whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them.



And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any: that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.



Trust Him At His Word.

What is LOVE?

What is LOVE? How does the world perceive "LOVE" as? Do they think love is for eternal? Or is just a temporary feeling?

How do they handle the love for their possession, love their parent, love their husband / wife.. love of their pets, dogs / cats / rabbits / birds …. etc..

Are they only looking for someone to spend their time with? To have a companion to take care of them when sick, someone to talk to when they are down and out? Someone to whom can kill time together whenever they are bored? Is this love?

Most men need a women with pretty face, nice body, able to cook, able to take care of the young and old, able to help them in their business, understanding, etc ..

Most women need a man who is financially secured, romantic, can give in to them, humorous, generous, able to provide emotional support.. etc ..

Is this all Love? Is that what they are looking for?

We often have expectation on others, expect that our loved ones should response to us the way we want it, attend to our needs whenever is necessary. When our loved ones did not fulfilled the requirements, we will get angry and disappointed. Such feelings are normal. People failed us, and we are the people. We do fail others too.

Thank God that our God is not like us. His Words will never be voided. He always keep His promise - NO matter what.

Many couples get together, or married because they enjoy each other company or physical attracted. Feel good. They separated because the feeling faded away, or either party has found someone better, richer, drive bigger car, higher income, know how to make them feel more appreciated, more romantic. They have forgotten their first love, the initial reason why they got together.


There are some who got hurt in their relationship, so much so that they refrained themselves to fall in love again. They have phobia, worried that unpleasant things will happen again. They will not allow anyone to hurt them again. They protect themselves or shut themselves out.Is it a choice of man? Is it because of sins? Human heart changes? Temptation? Or it is a will of God that they have to go thru their broken relationship? Can it be salvage? How to prevent? Can they blame God of their wrong decision they made?

NO matter how many times, I messed up my life, God still loves me.. haha .. so nice right? Thank God !!

How wonderful to know that God love us so much, we can never fathom His love for us.. His love will NEVER change.. unlike us; we change our mind everytime. . haha .. one moment like this, next moment will think something else is better... haizz ... can't understand hor?


I pray that Lord, You teach me the way to love, to be light of the world, help Your children who lost the hope of life and those who are living in darkness, living in misery, to be able to find their way back to You, Lord. They need You. Touch them, Lord. You are the ONE who hold tomorrow. In Christ, there is always hope. Your love will never change.

It has just dawn to me that God is love, only when you love God, In HIM, you will understand what is ~ LOVE !


Not only love our friends, but our enemies as well.. as the Bible tells us :


But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. ~ Luke 6:35


And most important, Jesus commands us to

Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart and with ALL your soul and with ALL your strength and with ALL your mind ;
and, Love your neighbor as yourself. ~ Luke 10:27

"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. "
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)


"And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.
God is love, and He who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Love has been perfected among us in this :
that we may have boldness in the day of judgement;
because as He is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear,
because fear involves torment.
But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
We love Him because He first loved us." ~ 1 John 4:16-19 (NKJV)


And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13


Father, teach me how to LOVE, to live my life pleasing in Your eyes, Lord, guide my steps, hold my hands and walk with me, and teach me how to love others like the way You want me to. Give me the boldness to love no matter how many times I have failed. Help me to understand Your ways, Lord. I yearn for You Lord.. for Your everlasting love forever. Renew my mind, and make me new again, from the inside out. May my hunger for You increases everyday. I love you, Father. In Jesus most precious Name, I pray, Amen.

Just pondering some thoughts

Am just wondering, what are the topics that will interest people to read..
gossips? secrets? anger? frustration? complaints? controversial issues? perspective? political matters? or about opposite sex - what they think, their likes and dislikes, etc..

I reckon that sometimes the "truth" may be boring huh? Is just like eating healthy food, it can be so tastless lor.. and usually sinful food are the most delicious..

When my mommy tell me "not to do it" , i will purposely do it, but when she said "do your homework", most of the time, i won't follow - what is being told.

We just like to do things "my way" right? uhmm .. jus reminded about Adam and Eve, or the forbidden fruit... haha .. That is when the first sin that separate us from God....

When we are talking about the gospel about our Lord Jesus, it seems that there are many people who are kind of evading the topic, either they seems not interested, dun wanna know or dun bother to know, or dun care at all.

Why people blog? Do they just wanna their voice to be heard? to be in the "trend", or to journal their lives? There are various reasons, where only the blogger knows the best ya?

As I came across some bloggers really shared their deepest secrets, exposing their privacy to the world. Why? to show off? what do they wanna share about their private life, how many "partners" they have... and so on.. dun understand..

What has the world become? girls giving birth at the age of 9 years old? so young? kids are now so exposed to all these pornography, how can the parents help? how to control? how to educate? Parents should not be pushing these teachings to school or Church. Is should be from home, the parents should spend enough time to their children, showering with care and concern...

how to let them learn in such a way they can understand and not be curious to try it themselves?

uhmm... so many questions.. but too tired to think liao..


I will still choose to blog what I wanna remember. . . ha ha .. be it good or bad, there is always things to thank and praise God for.. to share about God faithfulness and love for me.. heehee


very sleepy now, going to koonzz ... ttyl ..

Yeah I'm running after You

I don't care what people will say
I'm running after You
I won't turn back and go their way
Coz I'm running after You
No matter what may come my way
I'm running after You
It's YOU I'm following today
I'm running after You

Money is the root of all Evil?

Money is the root of all Evil? Agree? NO actually, only the love of money is the roots of all kinds of evil.

For the Bible says, “No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise te other. You cannot serve God and Money?” Luke 16:13

All of us love money, don’t we? We need money to operate in this world, we need money to take care of our expenses, our lodging, our food, bills, education, and transportation, almost everything!

Is never enough, isn’t it?

Christians always will be asked the top-hit questions, the all-time favourite hot topic - “Hey. do you, Christians, give your 10% or your income to your Church arr? .. Waahh.. a lot hor? Why don’t you contribute more to your family? The church so rich already, you still give? Your Church very money face lei .. Temple better, all free-will one, never restrict how much you give.. Eh..what if your Pastor use your money to buy land or big houses or spend it on their own pleasure? I think you will regret if you know it.. Where does the money go to? ... ” and the list goes on and on …

They don't seems to be comfortable in this area.

There are many arguments about us – Christians giving our money to church.

Why must we pay our tithes? Is PAYING our tithes. (i.e paying bills, we don’t give our bills, right?) Reason being, we don't own it at all, is from God. Whatever we have made, our income, belongs to God. He blessed us with 100%, is not too much at all to pay a tenth to HIM, which is officially belongs to HIM. We worship Him in our offerings.. to also show our love and trust in Him. He only asks for 10% , is it a lot ?? Of course NOT!

Not only we pay our tithes, we also commit ourselves to give other offerings like Mission works, Building Funds, etc.. which we are "investing" in God's Kingdom, for His glory. We wanted to reach out to the nation who are poor and needy, saved the lost, spread the Gospel .. to those who are hungry for God Words.. for His Kingdom to advance and to bless them with what our God has blessed us with. God loves a cheerful giver. Be a blessings to others!

There are countless testimonies of Christians who faithfully pay their tithes and offerings to the Lord, they have reported that how God blessed them, provides their needs, multiply their finances, got promotion, pay-increment, business expanded, writting more sales for their company, hitting sales targets, etc ..

Praise God! Test Him, as He can be trusted. He will never fail blessing those who put their trust in Him.

"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
"But you ask, 'How do we rob you?"
"In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty. Malachi 3:8-12

Is it painful to give? Yes.. it is .. if you don’t understand the principal behind it. In fact I do have struggles giving at the beginning. However I choose to obey. My God owns the whole universe, heaven and earth. He is so rich, why does He need our money? I always debate with my fellow Christian friends and Pastors, when am still a young Christian. God knows my problems, He knows I already not enough, got no extra, so, how to give some more? In fact, I even try to delay making the "payment" .. haha ..

But you know what, is not how much you give. Remember the poor widow who put in 2 very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Jesus acknowledged and honored that, she, out of her poverty, put in everything - she gives her all, all she had to live on. ( Mark 12:44 )

Till today, churches have never stop preaching about this wonderful topic. We got to follow this example. Not many people can do that though.

Unequal giving .. but Equal sacrifice..

God is not interested in how much you give, He looks at the heart. He wants you to love Him too. He did not even withhold His one and only Son to die for your sins. What other things will He not give you?

“You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows our hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God’s sight." ~ Luke 16:15

Do not put any earthly desires, including money above God. Jesus is the Name above All names. All things are set under His feet.

There are many people out there, who hold on to their possession, so tight, but one day, when they leave this world, can they bring along with them? Of course NOT! ALL treasures on earth will pass away. Only His Words remains..

So, what is more important?

A lot of people perceive that Christians give money to Church is ridiculous. They could not understand why we do what we do. Are we stupid? NO, of course. We do it by faith. Faith in the God, our Lord.

However, many people indulging themselves in buying 4D, toto, big sweep, soccer betting, horse betting, jack-pot or any means of getting a “quick-bucks”, they gambled their hard earned money away. They got caught in the act of greed. They want more and more, they become the slave of money, chasing and keep chasing it. They think is their “luck” that brings the unexpected windfall of fortune. While some who are not so “lucky”, got themselves in debts, that unable to pay.


~ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. ~ 1 Timothy 6:10

Is sad, huh?


I don’t believe in luck, I only believe in blessings. All good things are from heaven.

All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God. ~ Deuteronomy 28:2


“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~ Matthew 6:19-21

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ~ Luke 6:38


I would choose to Love God, and not money. I am blessed to bless. Lord, teach me to be humble every time, Lord, help me to remember is You, who are my Source, my Salvation. Nothing compares to You. I want to LOVE You more.. Amen!

My New toy

I have been wanting to get a new handphone, but couldn't make up my mind to get Nokia N73 or Sony Ericsson K800i. After monitoring both prices for the past 2 months, I have finally placed the payment for the latter. Is really a tough decision to make...

Finally.. after a long wait, I have my new 3G phone.. Yeah!! Thank God.

Now, I am going to figure out how to "transfer" my 966 contacts from Nokia 3230 to my new toy... *headache* .. I wouldn't want to key in one-by-one lor. Guess it will take me weeks of sleepless nite to complete that. how? how? how?

Am sure there will be ways to do it lar ... *thinking*thinking*

Hey! But anyway.. this is going to be exciting lor, cuz I will be capturing all nice people around me, memorable moments and happenings in Church, my life in this wonderful new toy, and hopefully to upload them here. Hahahaa ... sooo exciting.



.. Stay tune ya ..

Still - Hillong

Be Still and know that He is God


Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hands

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You, above the storm
Father, You are king over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

Find rest my soul, in Christ alone
Know His power, in quietness and trust
