3rd April—Being a christian

3rd April—Being a christian

Was reading brian’s blog then I feel like writing something in response to it.
Act I do agree with brian that we as Christians do do a lot of wrong ths in the name of God..i also want to apologise and said sorry for the wrong ths that the earlier days Christians did and even christians in this present times..

Wat I felt from reading his blog is that the reason why we did so much wrong ths is bcoz of our fallen nature..sometimes we are so deceived by ourselves in certain beliefs that we hold on to..eg..like paul in the bible who persecuted the churches greatly b4 he knew God in a dramatic way..

And being human, sometimes or most of the time we are selfish to wan to defend our beliefs and if given the power, that’s where all the mass killings took place.. but I think not just christians are commiting such wrongs but people as a whole, anyone, any race, any religion.

Brian said,
“Being a christian is about obey God's commandment to love the people, and care for them. Being christian is not primarily about bringing people to christ; being a christian is about loving people and caring for them, and by doing so naturally share what they are interested in. Because Jesus did not ask any of the sinful people to worship Him; He ate with them and talked to them when the others would shun them; He washed their feets and taught them, He healed them and He gave them hope. He loved them, never demanding that they be Christians and worship Him. He loved them, and wanted them to lead righteous lifestyles.”

“Being a christian is not to be proud of nothing! But to understand that to be Christian, we must be prepared to be associated with the body of Christ, to be associated with the mistakes that as a body we have committed, and to be associated with the movement to set things right.”


I agree with wat brian wrote above..that’s why I feel that unless God touches and changes our lives, we would not see the ugly state we are living at times,but thinking that we are living such a great and good life.. moi is such eg..but I muz also say that I am not broken as I wish I am..i haven come to realise much of my ugly side too thou I had a taste of it during last sat svc..i know I still need a lot of breaking to tak place in my life too..i need God’s hand to move in my life.

I am indeed an imperfect person living under the grace of God.

Now, as I cont the upper portion that I wrote during my break time,to think abt it, I also need to apologise for the wrongs that I have done..

Dear friends of daph..I am sorry that many times I failed as a friend to you all..esp when I am uncaring, harsh and insensitive to your feelings..i have always pride myself to be a relatively nice friend.. “winsome” as people praise me wen I brought friends to church..i realized I am indeed not that good as I thot I am..i am still so much in need of God’s grace and move in my life..

One of the weakness I realize is I tend to bring many friends to church but failed to pay attention to their daily lives.. Brian is right when he said “Being christian is not primarily about bringing people to christ;” ..i suppose to put it right in my context would be, being christian is not primarily abt bringin people to church..

Dear friends, please be patient with me even thou I am not patient twds you all..n precisely bcoz of this, all the more I need your grace as much as I need God’s..as I recognise this weakness of mine, I am also making an effort to change slowly, bit by bit..

By God’s grace, may daphne become a beta daphne..May daph become a winsome person as the bible said is a wise person.. May I mature in God more each day as I walked with Him and go thru the breaking process that is so needed to mould my character..but all in all, I recognise that I need my dear saviour Jesus once again to move in my life..
Be patient with me, my friends..let us all grow strong in God..help me to grow..Sharpen me wen needed coz you are my friends in destiny..

90% of the fulfillment of my destiny is in your hands..next 10%, I’m fulfilling it together with God..ke

Holy Spirit..change me..Show me, What does it mean to live for God?

What does it mean to live for God?

Let this question guide me to know more of You, God..the friend of Moses whom You spoke to, as a friend..

To ponder: God, what is the value that I place in you?
God, what does it mean to live for You?

As I keep asking, Holy Spirit, give me a revelation I pray..
indeed lik the song sang,

Show me how to live
Teach me how to pray,
Let all I think and say please You, Lord.

Yours faithfully,
daph
