BE PREPARE! (Mark 13:24-end)

When we speak weekly exam or public exam (PMR and SPM), it brings a lot of refreshing memories like frustration for not studying early, some will be referring their notes in last minutes, other with high confidence "bring it on!"

your face being unprepared...in exam. Will you be prepared for His coming?

What does it mean?

The topic for today is not about the end of times, its about being prepared to receive the Lord. Once we receive His presence in our heart, we are to be highly expected on guard with our faith. Jesus didn't tell when the time is come or where it happen. But what matter most, what will our role as the elect to receive His reward? What does it takes to be fit in His Kingdom? There are two choices:

1. Being forgotten God's commandment and immersing ourselves to the worldly pleasure somehow called foolish. No matter how good our bible understanding and also good we are in church, if we are spiritually unprepared, ends with doom.

2. Or for those doing their best in devout to build intimacy relationship with God and to share His love to others, he/she will receive the coming of the Lord not in the sadness but great joy.



"For what is faith unless it is to believe what you do not see?"

Matthew 25: 14- 30 - Using your Talent

Ever thought yourself that you are not good enough in life? Sometimes we will reason it out why we can't do it. Sometimes we will use a lot of excuses to reason the things we couldn't do. What more to say if the duties is either simple or hard to do.

The same stories goes with the "Parables of the Talents" where the third servants were given the least of talents yet could not do it because of a lot excuses.


What is the talents all about?

The talents is no single coin. A talent worth $840,000 USD. So we can see that the amount is enough to run a business which the Masters asked to the three servants in the Master's Home. But our main focus today why would the third servant called wicked and lazy by his Master?

Third Servant: Wicked and Lazy..it could be us as well.

Like it or not we are no big different to the third servant. We are born gifted by God. Some of us gifted to have a good talent in musical instruments, athletic life or others. However the sad part is, we often shy off with our gifts. Why? We love reasoning something, we comparing ourself to other and also simply saying "i am not good than any other people, why would i bother it?".

We are created not to compare and giving excuse. Be in mind we are perfected by Christ both inside and out of our imperfection. Even the birds sings does not mean they are professional singer!

So the challenge is here, will you use your "talent" to glorify God's name or "buried" it?

Love is...? ROME 12: 9-10.

Love is holiness relationship with boyfriend/girlfriend

No matter you are geeks,hipster or whatever you are..Admit it!
For girls, love is all about feelings and expression. For guys, well its all about appearance of the girls he want to date with.

It does not matter if you are on simple dating but wait.. there is a boundary!
Little do we know that our love can lead to something else..lustfully love.

Just looking at the newspaper; we see the cases of abortion, caught having sex at the young age, dumping unwanted babies and also comes to worst murdering the baby. All this happen in just a teens age. What is happening?

Rome 12: 9-10 speaks that love must have both strong in sincerity and boundaries. Why? Love must not be filled of evil thought. Nobody wants the love which has false promises and uncontrollable lust.
Love is all about responsibility and trust. It will be challenging to be faithful, but its worth for those who endures it with holiness and remain abstinence until to the day of marriage

Love is loving others
As a youth in Christ, love not only limited to your lovers. Share your love to the poor, the orphan, the rejected from social living and also not to forget giving thanks to God for the love you received. Remember! By this unselfish love you already fulfilled the commandment given by Christ and the 10 Commandment (Matthew 22:37-40). Sound simple isn't it?

Holiness in love is not about making ourself holy, but makes us authentic to others. Remember, before people could read the Bible, they will watch and see our "living word of Christ" in us.
