The Bible says,
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
James 2:14 (New King James Version)
Looking back at the last 3 weeks. IT WAS HELL!
I was enlightened when I was having Bible study with Mei Tong and she shared with me that faith without work is nothing. I really love to share this with all of you because, indeed, having faith and working is 2 different thing. You can ask God to work but if you are not going to help yourself, it will be fruitless. And she shared this verse with me. I am blessed with so many people who care. Truely, if I haven't got a leader like this, I would have been slacking today as well and wouldn't have got my interview later at 5pm.
Through this 3 weeks of slacking, I have learnt that the more lazy I get, the more I would be tempted to sin. You see, if I get lazy, my parents will ask me why am I doing nothing at home and not looking for job, and I will be tempted to lie to them telling them everytime that I have been looking for it. I am sick of telling lies all the time and I want to change. I feel very bad each time I tell a lie but I can't help it. So in order to stop telling lies, I must start looking for a job. If not I would continue slacking at home.
I can say, it is really fun to stay at home, but not when your parents is nagging at you. Our heavenly Father did not put people of Authority (Parents/Pastors/CGLs) in front of us for no reason. Everything I do now will affect my future. I'm 23 this year already and if I have dreams and not work for it. It will be fruitless.
The more slack we feel, the more satan is working on to make you even slacker. The more you slack, the more lost you would feel. The more empty space you create, the more satan's devils can walk in. We're a friend of God and not a friend of Satan!
Thank God that all my friends have been sharing with me the importance of working. After viewing the video on how the Sichuan people suffered. I feel I really have to work hard and STOP SLACKING! I want to be a friend of God and not a friend of Satan!
After watching the video of how the Sichuan kids suffer, I really feel that if I dun start doing something now, I would never be able to help them in a greater way. I know this will not be forever but in the future when this things happen I want to be able to help and not just sit there and wait for things to happen.
It starts with me, if I don't take the first step, nothing is going to happen.
Love

I've almost read through everything that you wrote in your blog. Hate me or love me I don't care. I just want to say!! Serious, I think everything is bull shit! specially this part saying I was feeling very and ted to breakdown because I cannot feel that God is inside of me, I feel He is walking away from me for some reason I don't know why. I broke down on my kitchen table and ask God, "WHY ARE YOU LEAVING ME NOW I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE TO GUIDE ME PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME " If you think the religion that you believe in, you won't find the god you believe is leaving you. This feeling will never happen at all! Another part, you said this "I was very desperate for God. Someone just whisper into my ears to open up the book that I just bought" If you really heard this, I'm sure you house is haunted!! What is all this cramp! Another point "My family members are all buddhist and I grew up in a buddhist envoirment, I remember my mother always tell me, before you go for exam or anything, to the buddha with all your heart and you will do miracles result. But the result, I got back was a pool of red ink. I really wonder what have I done wrong. Many things I to the buddha, but haven't He or She see what I've done?.." This tells me that you're not on the right track of following a religion. Hei! Believe in whatever religion doesn't mean doesn't need to study! If really it's this way, I'll be really damn happy! This shows that I don't need study can get straight As. Nonsense! Getting bad result you better blame it on urself. Cos' you're jus useless, lazy or maybe you're just dumb! Don't need to push all the blame to religion. I really pity you parent on having you. If you think being a Christian means everything or is the best, why on earth this world is having so much religions, I strongly believe that all religion is good in their ways. The way you put everything makes me feel so sick. I think you should visit to the doctor before everything got worst. After reading all this, I'll never ever step into church.. I don't wan end up like you sick in the head mad in you brain. I know after I post this up, you people will sure fight back the word, don't waste the breadth that you all have cos' I'll never step into your blog again.. Well, you still have a long way in life to go so please don't be so extreme in religion stuff.. If you're having a girlfriend, I'll pity her for sure.. If you don't have, I felt lucky for the girls around you.. The way of thinking that you have, for sure alot of people hate t. You maybe thinking no, but come to think, people around you is the same as you. I'm really sorry to say that, but I really have to. The things that are stated inside makes me feel shitty sick!!!
Well, I believe this is my blog and I'm free to express my feelings on it. So if you don't feel like staying, you can leave. Yes, God means everything to me. I can forsake everything for Him. If He don't mean anything to you, it's fine with me. I really have no problem with that. But nevertheless, I'll pray for you. Please see the date of the posting. People grow. Just like you and I, it's not what we post yesterday that matters, it's what we post today that matters. The past is for learning. The present is a gift to be cherished. I feel sorry for you too. You should have expressed yourself better, to prove your point. You should've proven that you are more matured which by your post I don't see. All of us have our own space of expression, it doesn't mean that if someone express him/herself outwardly on a blog, and it feels wrong to you means that they are wrong. What's right to you may not necessarily is right for others. Start thinking now. How much have you judged others base on your own set of rules.
