Happy New Year

In case I don't have a chance to say this, I will say it.
HAPPY NEW YEARS!
Because I will be going to Winter Conference in 12 hours, I would love to post something before I leave.
Reflecting back to my blogs, I have written NUMEROUS of entries in 1 year.
So it would be nice to read it over again and laugh at it.
Anyhow, 886.

Merry Christmas!

"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)

"For God loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Nobody knows when Christ was exactly born.
It is a not a paganism.
It is THE time to reflect and look back at that moment when He was born in that manger.
It was a beautiful moment.
He came to offer himself as a sacrifice for our sins...to save us from death.
He came to set apart between us, the world, and God the Father.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and MEN, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men - the testimony given in its proper time." (1 Timothy 2:5-6)
Let Christians rejoice because of this great big meaningful moment!

Good Christian men rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Give ye heed to what we say
News! News!
Jesus Christ is born today!
Ox and ass before Him bow
And He is in the manger now
Christ is born today!
Christ is born today!

Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye hear of endless bliss
Joy! Joy!
Jesus Christ was born for this
He hath ope'd the heav'nly door
And man is blessed evermore
Christ was born for this
Christ was born for this

Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Peace! Peace!
Jesus Christ was born to save
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain His everlasting hall
Christ was born to save
Christ was born to save

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Agreement (Acts 8:21-23)

I am quite discouraged with a lot of stuff.
I was thinking to myself, "How am I going to make it through University?"
Sometimes, I do feel like I am not able to graduate.
Today, I did so much wickedness before God.
I was disobedient before Him.
My mind and heart are so messed up with darkness and wickedness.
Believe it or not, when I experience Satan's power, he could put me to death.
Oh man...my heart feels so heavy.
Looking back today, most of my final marks came.
I thought I would just forget about it and move on since it's over and done with...but I just keep coming back to it.
First of all, it was very UNFAIR.
Second of all, it was very discouraging.
I keep telling myself, "I don't deserve this, I don't deserve this!"
Well, maybe I do.
I have to admit, I am not being humble about it.
I have to admit, there's no repentance within me.
I have to admit, when I know what I do could send me straight to hell, I do.
I have to admit, there's no fear in God in me.
When I realized that my heart is heavy, I am scared already.
I am so fearful that God would end me right here.
When I do sin, I immediately ask myself, "WHY!......"
Yesterday, I never realized how ungodly I am.
The way I treat my family and my little brother.
Whenever I talk to my little brother, maybe I do sound like a jerk and speak straight without thinking.
What am I doing?
God is right, I am that kind of person.
"You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin."
THERE'S NO AGREEMENT BETWEEN ME AND GOD!
I just want to say that my heart is not right before God.
I need to set an agreement with Him.
I need to believe in His ways.
Isaiah 55:8
Pray for me.

Ready! Set! Go! (1 Timothy 4)

Before I begin my study for my final exam on Saturday, I want to do some sharing.
I don't know about you, but there are quite a lot of misconceptions in terms of understanding doctrines.
For me, I get confused too.
There's a either a false doctrine, or THE divine doctrine.
The Bible tells us to follow the correct doctrine, that is why Paul wrote an instruction to Timothy.
It is also warning about us about false teachings.
I won't quote, but I do encourage you readers to look it up too.
I was quite surprised when I read the first two verses.
I believe that even a faithful person can walk away from God.
In verse 6, it challenges us all to take action if there are some issues going on.
"Train yourself to be godly" because "godliness has value for all things."
Therefore, it says in verse 12-14.
In verse 15-16, it is telling to stand firm and be on our guard for false teachers who are teaching false doctrines.

Continue to be loyal.
Even though I fall, may my heart continue to be sincere.
It is quite true that when trying to do what is good and pleasing to the Lord, Satan will come and attack me.
May it be the sin that does it, not me.
Continue to fight the good fight of faith.
Time to study.
