Church Membership

I am having an interview to become a member of my church. If success, I will become the member of the church. I will try my best to grow together with the church and contribute myself to the church.

A church is a group of people gather together because of their faith in Jesus Christ as their savior. The reason they gather together is to protect and support each other, then work together to get more people in by sharing gospel. We tell people that Jesus Christ is able to bring us to eternal life. There are a long story behind the fact beginning from Genesis when God create heaven and earth until the end of the day.

The first objective of my membership is evangelism. I must learn how to share the gospel. The technique I use to share gospel doesn't work. I must learn a proper way to share gospel or my Lord is being mocked.

Ok, let me tell you in short about the gospel. It sound like this, (John 3:16) “For God so love the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” If you are interesting in find out who is God? who is his one and only son? what to believe? why perish? what is eternal life? Please leave me a comment and I will reply here.

Departure of Friend

People come and go in my life. That is a very cruel fact to me. I do not like this fact of life. However, demanding people stay forever with me is just unrealistic. I myself do not able to stay or attend to everybody around me also. So the final principle I cultivate over this fact is seize the opportunity to have a great time with the people around me.

I am very shock and appreciate during the time I wanna leave Australia to go home after study. Over the last 2 weeks of my stay in Australia, I hardly spare some time because people around me treat me almost every meal. I am amaze for the people reaction over my departure. I think probably I really open my heart for the people around me.

Departure not necessary means a bad thing. It is just an experience of life. Besides, it is also a necessary step to move our life to another stage. No lost no gain. There are always better blessing and interesting challenges waiting in front of our path of life.

(Joshua 1:9) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is like a Grammy Award for me. People are comparing agaisnt each others performance over the year. Relatives agaisnt relatives, friends agaisnt friends, self agaisnt self.

Last year, I was the tail because I was just start working after finish studying. This year is a little bit better. I am able to pay all my personal bills. However I have nothing to dedicate to my family, absolutely nothing. I wish myself a fruitful year ahead. ^_^

My father like to encourage me extraordinarily. Quote of the year from him is, "See, you have not even spending a single penny through out the whole chinese new year celebration."

Seriously I should not wish myself a fruitful year, I should make it a fruitful year.

(Psalms 23:4) Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
