what i think churches should do!!!!
what i think churches should do. hmm... well first thing i would like to start off by saying " lets not ask what we what to do as a church but rather ask what God wants us to do to Glorify Himself as a church!" Lets us not talk to our fellow brothers/ sisters in christ about how big is our school or how popular is our sch or how rich is our sch! but brothers and sisters in christ, lets ask how can out church work towards the same goal which God wants! Lets put away the worldy things!
let us serve each other as servents and not like i have more authorthy then you so therefore you must serve me! What if Jesus were to behave like this? wont you think the whole World must wash His feet! but He set us an example and wash our feet! so because he is perfect, lets follow Him and serve each other with humility!
Lets preech the gospel and let people know God so that every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is the real God! And soon many people will be saved!!!
I have heard alot of fake stuff and wrong concepts like ooh! Gods warth and the 7 bowls will soo happen and save yourself now so that u will not suffer!!! and ooh lets buy holy communion set and stuff!! but guys dont ever try to bluff because nth good will come out of it only warth!!! so let us incline out faith back to Him!! live your life as a journey to spread the gospel to all the nations!!!!

title: we are not small!!!! We are big
In the book of judges chapter 6 it says :
"Because the power of Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds. 3 Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country. 4 They camped on the land and ruined the crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle nor donkeys. 5 They came up with their livestock and their tents like swarms of locusts. It was impossible to count the men and their camels; they invaded the land to ravage it. 6 Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the LORD for help"
After reading this, it tells me that the midian were so strong that the Israelites were too scared of the midian thus, they let them have their way. They took everything that the Israelites have! Their size is so big that its like counting sand on the beach! so the Israelites cried to the Lord for help.
It continue to read:
"11 The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior."
13 "But sir," Gideon replied, "if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, 'Did not the LORD bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian." 14 The LORD turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?"
15 "But Lord , [a] " Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family."
From this i infer that The Lord has sent Gideon but Gideon have doubt and said that is clan is the weakest and i think Gideon does not have faith in the Lord.
It continue to read:
The LORD answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together." ................................................... But the LORD said to him, "Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die."
well, if you read further, Gideon soon after have the courage and went because he trusted Lord and he also built an altar.
Then at judges 7 it reads:
13 Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. "I had a dream," he was saying. "A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed."
14 His friend responded, "This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands."
What i think is that God had told 2 man about how Gideon will over Midianites with the power of God.
It contunue to read:
15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped God. He returned to the camp of Israel and called out, "Get up! The LORD has given the Midianite camp into your hands." 16 Dividing the three hundred men into three companies, he placed trumpets and empty jars in the hands of all of them, with torches inside.
17 "Watch me," he told them. "Follow my lead. When I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly as I do. 18 When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, 'For the LORD and for Gideon.' "
19 Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands. 20 The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!" 21 While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled.
Now, reading this, 300 man agains an army which is way more powerful but in the name of the Lord, That army had lost just by the words " A sword for the LORD and for Gideon" How cool is that?
well, at times we may seem that a certain thing is impossible to do or overcome because we know that its too hard or its big to face it! And we may seem so small, weak and useless when the problem arises! But think about it, how many time when we face problem, we face it by our own limited strength instead of saying " Lord, by Your mercy and grace, help me overcome this difficulty and i place this into Your hands"? I'm sure if you pray about it, Lord mercy and grace will open a path for you to go! And remember to thank God for it...In the name of God, we are never too small because the Lord will always be with us!!

How i think we should take out stand in the evil world?
ok... As u all know, more and more people in the world will dislike Christians. For example in my school, my classmates are insulting jesus and insulting me. Should we really be angry and fight back? No! u dun think we should.. I mean think about it, if we get angry and we flare up and start to insult and beat him/her up den we ourself has gone into the same boat as the person as we also have sin against God and both part must answer to God for our sin that we have done! why not try keeping them in prayer and ask God to forgive the person. When a person slap you on the right/left, offer them the left/right. so therefore when he/she inslut you, just smile and walk away as he is the most dumb person in the world to insult a Living God because he/she is just like hitting his/her last nail on his/herself or shooting themselves at their feet!!
Dont presume what ever the pastor/speaker speak during service is always correct as u all know that to err is human! so, always keep what he said in mind and check it out in the bible. If you have found out he/she is wrong, tell him/her about it! do not hide them away from it. If you are unsure of what him/her is trying to say then ask, if not sure again den ask again! Ask until you understand!
Dont let worldy things affect your spritual growth! If u found anything that pulls you away from God, throw them away! As you know, Nothing can be better then God!!!
Take your life as a chance or journey to preech the gospel to the world that is due to distruction that people maybe saved!! Do not fear as the Lord will always be with you! If you see people doing cult practice, preech the Good news to them instead of letting them worship idols and fake stuff!! Remember, before you do all these, set you life correctly first!!!

reflecions
Following Christ is hard..
never easy indeed
fighting with satan and remembering to die for yourself..
but prayer is more powerful then a shot gun, sniper, bomb or whatever
reading bible everytime you are lost
and soon, u will find a way out..

be as agile and a ninja
be as sharp as a sword
as accurate as a sniper
as naggy as an old grandmother
but faith like childlike
but stand firm in God like a solid rock
serve like a servent
as humble as a servent

baby like..
hmm.. be like a baby in faith...
listen more
give more
expect less
anyway, today on the bus, i saw this cute baby who is sitting happily on the maid's lap. anyway i notice the baby never fail in trying to grab the maid's body for support when the bus goes on a bumpy ride! and the baby held the maid tightly and kept calm. sometimes the baby cries but when the mother ask her to stop crying and say "its ok"
hmm.. we should be like th baby in faith! yes life is a bumpy ride there are ups and down, happiness and saddness but we mush cling and trust in God everytime and we should go in His name. but when trouble comes, yes we might cry out to God for help but after asking for help, we must follow what God tells us to do just like the baby! we should also never fail to cling and trust i God...
Peace of the Lord be with you!!

sin
1 John 1: 8 - 10 states "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."
so therefore confess your sins and ask for forgiveness. repentence is a everyday thing! it also means that u seek for forgiveness and then try not to do that same thing again!

reflections on: shepherd and sheep ( God and us )
Psalm 23:1 " The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want "
hmm... indeed Lord is like a shepherd who know His flock very well!! He will be the one protecting us and will not take His eyes off us! He will take care of us so that we will not be harm by anything and He whom blessings flows, blesses us!! And errm.. i think we must depend on Him wholeheartedly like a sheep trusting its shepherd wholeheartedly! we really gotta learn from sheeps! meek, innocent, gentle, graceful and happy!! haaha.... Lord laid down our life to protect us!! er.. God will also find the lost sheeps and thus will rejoyce!! Think about it..
remember: Die for ourself but live for Christ!!
