Difference Between Christians & the Others

oookay im rockin' n' rollin' again. i felt i needed to blog about this because, well this topic needs to be cleared up. back to the basics i guess? differences i found were :

- we can see right from wrong, we know we are sinning. the blind who sin and are clueless are the ones who are the worst off.
- we can repent, we know we are sinning and we do something to try to stop it
- we realize that God's love is a GIFT
- we have the Holy Spirit
- we no longer work to please ourselves or anyone else, except for God
- we know how to use God's gifts to pursue his intention
- we dont love the "world"
- we can produce fruits of the spirit such as wisdom

___________________________________________________________________


now here we have non- christians, in atheist nature they see the world as a place to live as well as possible. without God life has no meaning. to go with that nice non - christians are subjected to help other people. you help people, people give you smiles, everyone is happy. cute. they do this for themselves, for self meaning. it feels good to help others, i know. by helping you think the world they think it will become a "better" place. in turn you can get some nice - ness back someday. just a simple cycle.
everything you do has a purpose, and has a reason. an undeniable truth. once being nice loses it's personal benefits, why be nice at all?

as for christians, we already know our worth. we love others and serve others because it was God who loved first. we only serve for the love of God and for nothing else. we don't love the world for we know its a tasty piece of bait laid out by Satan. we know what sin is, and we know what to do about it. we have salvation through Jesus.

in short, christians and non - christian are light years away from being even similar let alone being indentical. oh and i forgot to mention, "nice" is simply subjective, so don't kid yourselves now.

The Real Meaning of Christmas

once upon a time i believed a big fat ol' man came down the chimney every year on December 25 to drop some goodies for everyone, old and young, short and tall. chances are you probably thought the same too, way back then, or even right now. but regardless Christmas has nothing to do with a fat guy givin' pressies to people. quite frankly, i don't care if you're atheist, buddhist, hindu, islam or of any other religion if you're reading this, if you are one of these prepare to face the undeniable truth. tomorrow on december 25 is our saviour, Jesus Christ's bday. Jesus was born from a virgin's womb, in a manger (stable), in Bethlehem. the Messiah had finally landed on Earth's soil.

december 25 hosts the biggest birthday party in man kind's history. if you think Christmas is cool, the party in heaven will rock even harder. the point i'm trying to get across y'all is not just about saying 'oooooh' i wonder what i got for Christmas! it's about Jesus! and that is what i see many people are missing. giving and receiving gifts for Christmas is cool and all, and i do it too. but it is simply more than just that. Christmas is about being thankful that the Lord actually gave Jesus to us. so that we can live a righteous life and go to heaven. if we didn't have Jesus there would be no way we could ever go to heaven, we would all burn in hell for eternity. we should share this joy together and appreciate what the Father has given us and not try to take it as an oppurtunity to get new stuff. Christmas is this truly special time. the coming of Jesus brang many things, many great things to this simply unlawful world. we should rejoice and sing praises about these events, and be thankful.


yeah, i know today is christmas eve and maybe i should of posted earlier but i just couldnt get my thoughts all together until now. and it still seems quite incoherent. i pray that God gives you the gift of tongues and interpretation to decode my messy thoughts.

we can never be too thankful
*hoists a cup of pop* to JESUS everyone! (:
G'nite y'all and have a merry merry Christmas.

Comprehending 1 Kings From the OT.

so i played bible roulette for the first time in a LOOONG time - OT style. And the winner is ........ yep you guessed it, 1 Kings.

so here i am keeping the ball in their side of the court.
my take on chapters 1 & 2, here we go. *prays that i may comprehend*

so it started off pretty much saying how king David was sick and weak so this dude named Adonijah self named himself the king. the prophet nathan comes along and tells Bathsheba (Solomon's mom) to tell David to proclaim Solomon as king. meanwhile Adonijah is sacrifcing many tasty animals as to receive a blessing from an idol or the Lord himself. Later David anoints Solomon as king over israel and judah. Adonijah is afraid of Solomon now so he ditches. (end of chapter uno)

so now here we have good ol' David right before hes dead telling Solomon to obey God's will so he can prosper. so then look whos back, Adonijah of course. This time he is asking that Abishag (who looked after David before death) to marry him. Solomon swears to God that he should deal with Solomon very badly if his older bro desnt lose his life for this request. and Solomon is faithful to his words and kills Adonijah. Joab who conspired with Adonijah found out the boss was dead so he tried to run away from Solomon. but lol Solomon would not be denied. next thing you know, Joab is dead too lol. Solomon then tells Shumei that he will go live in Jeruselum and not cross the Kidron Valley ( dunno why, anyone know?) or else he'll die lol. so guess what shumei was in jeruselum and one of his slaves ran away. gee, gosh, golly guess what? shumei crossed the Kidron Valley to fetch his slaves and when Solomon heard shumei crossed the valley it'd be the third fatality in only two chapters. and it was. Solomon then was able to firmly establish his kingdom. theee end.


things to note about these two chapters is that the friends of God are protected by God and they're enemies are God's enemies. now you don't wanna pick a fight with an unbeatable boss right? so PREEETTY much its simply put like this? the people who belong to God cannot be touched by others. so its like a cast away your burdens thing also?

STAY TUNED FOR EDITS! there will be a few for sure...

the old testament

frankly, i neglect the old testament at all for a couple reasons.
- now is now
- MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more applicable to my life.

these are the two main reasons. there are some more but they had no substance so i shunned them from this blog.

the new testament seems to teach me more about how to be a good christian and that pulls me closer toward it. the old testament however has old rules which are now in the new testament are changed or "revolutionized" which led me to believe they are out dated and wrong.

me gravating towards the new testaments not meant to be. both testaments are equally important, just simply different.

Jesus Calms The Storm.

matthew 8 : 23 - 27 follow along y' all : D

23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
26He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

at times where life is trialing you must have faith in God. you must understand that God has total control over everything. you have to just simply let go no matter how hard that is and just let God drive the car of life for you. because whatever God does for you is good, even though you think that it is horrible you gotta keep in mind that God loves you and is watching over you all the time.


the disciples in this case were weak in faith and scared for their own lives. to make the disciples faith stronger Jesus showed them what he was made of - he rebuked the storm and told his followers that the storm was a tiny little thing that they should not fear of. the disciples had feared to much for their lives yet they should of cared more about their relationship with Christ instead - or something of that nature.


do not resist God's influence in your life. let God work in your life. you should be a tool, reliable strong, powerful and unwaivering. think of yourself as a tool. are you rusty and might fall apart? or are you a tool that is clean, fortified and valuable - something God can use and rely upon. a good "tool" was Moses without a doubt. God told Moses everything, God could rely on him to lead His people out of egypt. if i were a screwdriver, moses would be like a 5 in one lol



the gist : dont worry about things - God will provide
- let God control your life, dont solo it.
- dont stop God's infleunce on your life
- if you love Him he'll always be by your side <3 (forgot how to make a heart : P)

Me & God songs

a bit of a relaxed post lol- the last couple were pretty tense when i read them. here are a couple songs that are like "our" songs haw haw : D

- You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban, I'm strong when I'm on his shoulders
- Superhuman by Chris Brown ft Keri Hilson, He was the one who made me superhuman
- Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlan, to realize how beautiful God's creations are and not take them for granted.
- World On Fire by Sarah McLachlan, He will provide during hardship.

even though you wouldn't consider this "christian" music it still has value because that is how me & God spend our time. good example for me dbz.

torn two ways.

so today we got our report cards back. i knew i wasnt gonna be the 13 A student like last year so i prepared to be disappointed. my english is horrible, ms.ionescu is so primitive. my french is also horrible because ms fralick hates our guts and has issues.

so during science i wrote on my hand "all for christ". i knew i wasnt going to get something on my report card that favoured me, for a fact. but this time i was prepared to take a fall. fast forward two periods and we get our report cards back. so i openned it up and lookie whats inside. big arsed asian failure. lol- i wanted to scream. i wanted to rip my heart out. all do the crazy crap. but i held it in. i wasn't going to show everyone how weak i am. i wanted to hold everything in check yet truely i wanted to just let it run wild and just go with the flow.


im torn. between God and the world. i want to love God but the world is on its knees and pulling my sleeve. i know my relationship with God is RIGHT, but i'm still tempted away by the worldly matters. this is just how weak i am. i need God in everything that i do, and i dont know how i could do anything without him. falling to sin is just simply not an option, in an

the light at the end of the tunnel~ 81.5% average. enough to stay in the honor roll. enough to improve on. time to move on with life and God.
the cost of discipleship is everything. it drains you. you can't look back. you will be rewarded.
