"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; " Matt 18 3-5Hope that i can humble myself in all things i do and not be self centred but let God be on the throne of my heart. So often do i say i have God in my heart but instead of letting him be on the throne, i myself climb onto it and then still dare to blame God for things that happened in my life because of my own foolishness..."For it is God's will that by doing right you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men." 1 peter 2: 15I also wouldnt want to be a tripping stone to people around me and be a good example to others. People always say that Christianity is different because there is so much bad christians around and the Christianity does not teach people to do good things... With this verse, who can say that? Because its God's will that we have to do right but its just that we are always weak as humans and give others a chance to pick on us. However i feel that i must always fulfil my responsibility to live as son of the Light and shine in the darkness of the world! =)
" to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you; " this is what i aspire to do!! stop laughing...!!Anyway tats what i have learnt from yesterday's vcf!!

"Is there a God? Show me!!"
This is like someone asking u to prove him that there is a lion in a cage when there really is one. You say its a lion cos its got lion's mane, teeth, its got the roar of a lion, it walks, sleep like a lion and other animal trembles in fear in front of it. But the person just dun believe.. and say its a cat.. then what do you do? Well just ask the person to go into the cage and when the lion is half way chomping him into pieces he will believe its a lion.
It takes more faith and determination to believe that something is not there when it is actually there than to believe something that is there but u can't physical see it.
God does not exist because there are people believing that HE exists... He is always there... its just up to you whether you wan to believe or not...
Whats more, its human nature to find God. When people deny this mechanism, they are denying themselves as a living being, trying to hard to prove that something which is there is not there...
All religions searches for the truth or God...
Many Chinese philosophers like Kong Zi and Lao Zi search for the Tao or the Truth, but they never found it. They only become wiser in the process of finding it. They believe that there is a motive force behind why things work and how things comes about... they call this the Tao.
Buddhism search for the truth and when the founder of Buddhism thought he found it, he said he was enlightened. He realised that besides the physical world that we live in, there is a
Science searches for the truth and principles behind why everything works. It discovers a truth which is already present in the universe.
Muslims, Jews, Hinduism searches for God. But it just makes me wonder who is lost, God or man? Why is it that we are searching for God like He is lost? Who are lost? We or God?
Jesus says, " I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" John 3:16-17
