Lent Part 1

Hi guys...Lets edify one another shall we?

As we all know (duhh) we're in the season of lent! Therefore i would like us all to observe this time with prayer and fasting (not nesasarily makan punya la). I want to start here by apologizing to you all on my behaviour for the past 10 years (wow that long d huh guys...hahaha). I'm sorry that I diss u guys too often. I'm sorry if theres some of u that i force my ideologies on. Sorry for bossing you guys around during our school days. Sorry for acting so gay when u guys really feel uncomfortable. More confesions: I find hard to let go of some stuff. I still cant let go/shake off BB in my life, Angeline, kolok mee, adult materials, and malas-ness. I feel lke this things are holding me back, anchoring me down. pray for me to shake it off. I know some may not want to talk about personal matters here but I'm stepping out of my comfort zone here. Thanks for letting the time to read and forgive me.

Every since entering uni i have feel that my life is totally drastically different from my earlier days. It feels more "worldly". I enjoy so much that the world have to offer but i feel that i spiritualy have decline so badly. I have been reading the bible less and less. Having quiet time less and less. Praying less and less. Let me just confess my sins to my brothers then i can go and face God. I feel that my passion for older things are decreasing. Altho I am the CG leader for the whole of UM medical faculty, I feel that i maybe unworthy and am not putting enough commitment in serving the Lord. Yes, I know. Everything has a reason, everything of God is at the right place placed by God. Its funny how when i randomly pick a verse from the bible just now it showed me to the 10 commandments. Is it something that I should learn?

10 Commandments
1) "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the Land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me."
2)You shall not make for yourself an idol
3)You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God
4)Remember the Sabbath by keeping it holy
5)Honour your father and mother
6)You shall not murder
7)You shall not commit adultery
8)You shall not steal
9)You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour
10)You shall not covet your neighbour's house. (His wife, manservent donkey, etc)

My understanding of the meaning in the bible isnt so far indepth ala theologian to "teach" about this. But instead let us share and edify one another ya.

NUMBER 1 COMMAND
Listen to the command...haha....Yes..Let us listen to God and listen only to God. Then we shall not have "any other gods before me". Its hard not to be drag into the influence of the world. Hey its not wrng to go for roadtrips, have BBQ, do projects, hanging out with friends and stuff but to the point of loosing touch of the spiritual self, its painful to me. Its hard to push ourselves to do other things or to maintain something good.I want my old self back! But what i want more than my old self is, you know what? MY NEW SELF! Yes. We should all always be renewing ourselves in our one God that rule and loves us all. Why God wants us to only worship him? (Its gonna sound abit controversial) Is there anyone else since God is the one that made EVERYTHING?!! And He saved us. He loves us. He forgives us. He has done so much for us (like a really cool song goes....He is powerfull in deed is powerful in words before God and all his people!...<---betul kah??hehe). And we want to live in Love and Peace and isnt it what God is. God=Love Love=God Did you know that i dont have to say all this this? Because I know that you all already know what each and every commandment means and all that you need to know. Its just that it is really good and comforting to be able to keep each other together and keep REMINDING each other about it. Each has a demon of their own (maybe, maybe not). If we do we cant fight it alone. We need each other. Nothing is accomplished alone. Even our Beloved is in TRINITY. Disciples were 12. Husbands have wives. And let not this blog be just a "Bunch of dudes just wanna keep in touch with old friends 21st century style" but also a place of edifying and fellowship.

Wait i'm not done yet. I came upon a Christian article talking about uni life. This person habis sudah. Graduated and all. He/she was saying that she was active in church, uni CF, CG leader, organizing Christian stuff and the sort. The issue was that he/she havent have many non-Christian friends. So when he/she ajak go minum tak ada orang wanna go! So how far and wide have we ( yes us!) go to "spread the news"?. Ya we are not trained to evangelize and conduct alpha course or whatever it is. But isnt just being friends and showing them a good example of what being a Christian is all about just as enough?Saying that, how may of us actually spend loads and loads of time being nice to our yet to believe brothers and sisters? And for others, are we showing the Christian characteristics that we ought to show?Are we all the 10 commandments commands? Where is our Obedience? Reverence? Discipline? Self-Respect? And everything else? Are we of TRUE CHRISTIAN MENLINESS?? I am not asking any of you to comply or whatever, just think for yourself. Should we take it easy and say that everyone is different? EXACTLY! Everyone is different but it can never compromise the attitude and Godliness that is of GOD! It will fit!! If we dont clean our act now, when else?What if the end of days is just 5 minutes from now???....................................
