Yesterday's sermon was a really good one. At first, I thought that it was a message to us about the unchurched but then it was for us to the conservatives.
Many a times, people are shocked when they've found out that I'm a Christian and the first reason would be that I do not look holy but do I really have to look holy to be a Christian? Can't I listen to the latest songs which includes punk, metal and trance? Can't I have tattoos? To many people, Christians are people who are holier than thou, they are people who cover up, do not drink and does nothing bad. In their eyes, Christians are innocent. But after today, I realised that this was not true, instead it's about innocence tested and about maturity.
Pastor shared a very good example about if a mother wants to keep her child free from all negative behaviour and thoughts, what she should do would be to lock the kid up in a room and throw the key away.
Besides just obeying the Great Commandments and the Great Commission, we should really carry the Cultural Mandate with us.

Another thing was that everyday in my life, I'm faced with many different people who all has their own thoughts and thinking so unknowingly, they have impacted me. I should stay true to my convictions and not be influenced by others and the society.

Man, what pastor said was really good and I hope that I would always keep it in mind as I continue this walk in life.

Titus 1:15 (NKJV)

15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

Tiredness and mental blocks are setting in. Why does it seem that everything just comes to a dead end? Everything is just worth naught. It's said that if you persevere through it all, it would all come to pass and make you a better person in the end. But is that even true? Sometimes, I really feel that all I'm doing really brings about nothing in the end.
Only You can make it all right. Give me the strength to continue on. Only with You're with me, can I do all things and I know that in the end everything would be set right. I want more of You, it's your presence and assurance that I need and not anyone else. Elohim, enlarge me so that I can truly grow and give me ideas and creativity.
I trust in You!
