that's enough

As I stand in the house of God today. I just wanna worship God in all liberty. It will be good if I could have a great time after much struggle with sickness the whole day previously.

Some has come to me with kindness knowing how I fall sick, they amazed me. I mean their love. Some, in my disappointment they've come with judgment wonder why I sit quite far back and wrapped like a balloon acting in backward attitudes. I almost wanna shout out on top of my lung "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" Oh well, sometimes the weirdest kind of human being come from religious christian.

After many years of working in the society. I've meet nice and bad people from both sides. Believer and non-believer. I start my discovery by asking one question, "What's the different between christian or non-christian?" All of us human being have emotions, weaknesses, dreams, money, and bills to pay. All of us enjoy success or suffer lost in our life. We relate to people, start family, enjoy sex life, raise children and pay taxes. I can name all the things we do no different. But what makes christian is far more superior playing all the games or thinking non-believer need Jesus? We are a new generation. We no longer effective in reaching out to people by sharing gospel like selling insurance. Or they will be put to death if they responded uninterested.

From years of searching, I have my answer. I no longer see a person's label anymore. As they call themselves christian. I'm looking into their life, their actions and most importantly their love for people and for God. We have higher standard set before us, more than going to church every weekend and raise our hand answer alter call or singing holy song will make us holy. But FEAR GOD. In ALL that you do, fear Him. Non-believer excise love too but not everyone of them fear God. Just like as long as old kings of Israel fear God, they will be prospered. Bible doesn't imply all of them love Him. If this concept shake your little mind, you better read your bible seriously again.

Obviously, this post is driven by holy anger. More than rambling I wish I can teach some basic christian living through this event that leverage my readers. I seriously don't wanna meet any religious christian anymore.

"Sometime is good to be kind than to be right."

P/S: Feel like having KFC, and tom yam.

As much as I agree that all Christians must fear God. Did not Jesus say the greatest commandment is to LOVE your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength? I think fearing God will be a consequence of that love for him. I mean what is fearing God without love? nothing really. God wants is for us to KNOW and PURSUE him. And this healthy kinda fear is a result of your relationship with God

Haha. I was surprised that you’re here! And started the debate session some more. I better be careful with a lawyer~ I wasn’t alienating the great commandment but to instil the fundamental key of Christian living. Normally, Fear of God is not a favourite topic to preach/teach. God is like a coin that has 2 faces; we know He is lion and the lamb. Ppl don’t like to hear that God is fearsome. But rather just loves to embraces His loving, caring, nurturing, merciful, tender and gentle side. If God isn’t fearsome, Ananias and Sapphira won’t be struck dead on the spot (Acts 5).

Christian can love God so much but still can ignoring His commandment. That’s why we still need forgiveness everyday. Like I love my mom, but I don’t do what she tells me to do. I don’t take her word seriously yet I still love her and knowing she loves me and will forgive me. Many Christian lives like that. I know christian young man who cheated on his gf. Christian tells lies. Christian who are Lazy. Christian swearing/cursing. So what’s so different than non-believer?

Solomon says. “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” Notice that fear God come first next is keeping his commandments which included what Jesus mentioned in Mark 12:29-31. But the word ”and” make words between both side equalled. They are just as important and mandatory.

Hmn. I don’t know fear come from loving God. But I believe we can’t just love God without healthy kinda fear. When I read about Joseph being tempted and said, “How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?" He is driven by fear of God instead of love.

Hope this clarified. For anyone interested to learn more, here’s a useful article.

Oh. Dunno why I just attracted to US news. Sometimes I'm amazed by how is the government responded to the events. Efficient. Iraq news and those Korean hostages, so many things happen. Is a good habits to adopt to become an investor. World's economics is just driven by fear and greed. I felt that reading world news gives me a bigger perspective to see life. That's essential to live in Informative Age. Pak Lah's wedding causes Malaysian Stock goes up leh. Don't play play.
