Christianity is not about Religion..

Christianity is not trying harder, doing more, working harder... christianity is intimate personal relationship with Jesus Christ who's alive and lives He's life by the Spirit through you.. Christianity is the Holy Spirit convicting you on what's right or wrong, not setting the list of to do's and don'ts.. Jesus sets free, and wants everybody to have life, "Life to the fullest..." Religion brings people back to bondage, it is a set of rules, and burdens that makes us desperate.



Jesus did it for you...

Return, Recharge, Remain....

I remember when i was in the camp 2001 "Jesus in me" was the theme of the camp. And i remember a Pastor doing some altar calling, telling his audience to "Return" to God.. I can still remember many young people ran fast to the front and cried and did a prayer of repentance to God... Yeah that was just a glimpse of it, and you know what? i want to tell you honestly, more than 50% of the youth that i knew who attended that camp? was at lost... Maybe they just returned to God, but then they returned to sin... too bad isn't it? I've also remember somethings about the past, when most of the christians i know (specially in a youth camp) often return and... "recharge"in God's presence... i honestly do the same thing too.. i often return to God, and then recharge in His presence.. then, will just be "discharge". Now the word "remain" is not so common to the christians. Let's be real, we need this three words to grow.. We need to "Return" to God(it includes, repentance, reconciliation and restoration), "Recharge" in God (continuous reading His words and meditating on it), and finally the most important part (but often forgotten) "Remain" in God. The Bible says in John 15:5 that "if we remain in Him, He will remain in us..." and we will bear fruits. The truth is, we can do nothing without being connected to Him. So remember this three words "Return", "Recharge" and most of all "Remain"...

The Holy Spirit



All of the christians are aware that there are three persons that represents God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And most of the believers knew who is the Father (with the imagination of a big man on the clouds sounds like a thunder whenever He speaks from heaven), and Jesus(the Son of God, who most of us imagine as the long haired guy with blue eyed, pointed nose and serious looking face). Christians often forgets the 3rd person, who is the "Holy Spirit". Believers in Christ knew there is a 3rd Person (lets be honest, whenever we think of the Holy Spirit, we always imagine of a dove), but most of the time unaware of His job. If i will be ask who will i want to be, Jesus in flesh? or the Holy Spirit, i'd be honest, i prefer Jesus in flesh than the Holy Spirit. But look at what Jesus said in John 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart I will send Him to you", He said it is advantage for Him to go away, so that the Helper or the Comforter can come. Many of us do not understand what power can the Holy Spirit give us. The same Spirit that Raised Christ from the dead is available for every people that will believe and accept Christ as their Lord and Personal Saviour. I pray that all people who may read this blog ask themselves "what am i missing?" am i living a Spirit-less life? when i can live a Spirit-filled life.. May the Presence of our Lord be with you, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanse you, and the Power of the Holy Spirit enable you to stand up for God.

The Married Life



Oh yeah after 2 months, here i am writing in this blog again, but this time not as a single but as a married guy. My wife Cristy and I, just got married last December 19, 2011. It was a memorable night for me, i sang a song, while she was doing her bridal entrance. It was very nice, my bride looks so amazing and so beautiful in her gown (Kate Middleton inspired). To be honest, when i first saw her, i really got nervous, one of our "abays" even said my voice while singing the first line was a little bit "shaky", i think they obviously notice my tension. I really had a wonderful night on our wedding. What's with the married life anyway? hmmm, most of people will never believe this.. "it is so much fun". Having someone with you, is really a gift from God. You don't need to worry about other "girls" anymore, because you have your own beautiful spouse. We share everything, food, happiness, trials and all others. I am a blessed guy to have a wife like Cristy. She is really a gift from above. I won't say a lot on this blog, i just want to simply thank God for all the blessings, and finally i have my wife now. My happiness is unexplainable.. God is really good! and thru my wife, i can see how good He is. Credit to Jesus! my Lord and my Savior. I love you.... :)
