The 3-week Theological Camp is 5 days apart now.
It is easy to imagine and believe that the trained soldiers of the Camp have now been tuned to a "super-relaxed" mode. Probably, we have started to indulge ourselves in as much pleasurable things as we still can before school/college/work begin.
Our prayer time is certainly reduced and replaced by many other matters; worse still, replaced by our own laziness.
Well, gotta be aware of this myself: who am i to evaluate others' faith?
I am not apostle Paul, who has that sort of mighty authority and faith to write to criticize and condemn the believers. I am but a mischievous teen of age 17+.
Look at yourself, have you not forgotten the lessons of God's Words yourself?
Didn't you remember Eph 4:29 when you allowed unwholesome talk out your mouth in order to humor your friends? Didn't you remember Mat 7:3-5 before you had criticized your friend's faults behind his back?
To outsiders,
all these may sound like a pious but foolish and holy talk about God.
And perhaps wonder: Is there a need for you to be so religious? Religion is but a cornerstone to support one mentally, to have hope for peace amongst the human race.
But I have this to testify, and to remind,
that this God we are worshiping in True Jesus Church, can't be more real.
The downpour of the Holy Spirit totally condemns the Atheists(those who don't believe in God) of their self-professed righteousness(Psa 115:2-7).
I am afraid; I am afraid that this Friend who is supposed to be by my side always, might depart from me due to my weaknesses(Mat27:46).
For He is not just my God, but my Friend, my Father, and my source of miracles.
Since His existence is firmly recognized, then I ought to abide in His ways so He may abide in me, and finally grant me His Holy Spirit.
2Tim 2:21 Let's cleanse ourselves from the latter(2009), and be a noble instrument prepared for every good work.
5Thess5:17-18 and pray continually, give thanks to God in all circumstances.
For now, gotta go for another long adventure in Egypt. God bless us.

thanks, Michael, for your exaltation. Indeed, we have to partake of His Flesh and His blood to fulfill the 3 spiritual effects: abidance of Christ in us, eternal life and resurrection on the Last Day(paruosia).
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I am gonna do this afternoon, to attend the Holy Communion(the Lord's Supper/Eucharist) in Church.
Consecration of the unleaven bread and pure grape juice in the name of Jesus Christ, will spiritualize the two into His Flesh and Blood respectively.
May God also pour upon me the Holy Spirit, to seal the promise of my salvation.
God bless us all
Hallelujah.
