Why nothing's for free

In the 6 days world nothing is "for free" to have the life you want you must "pay"
Now what does it mean?
It means that just following your desire could not automatically bring advantage to the people and the inclinations that have helped you. (Advantage in terms of the inclination to incline, in Love's respect).

So, the next step, we should work towards creating a world where it's easier and easier to give thanks to the sources of our solutions, (except evil because Jesus has cleared the debt on the cross and He has risen so that we or the people who is living in Him is living in freedom, bounded by evil no more... the 6 days world will perish, His Kingdom will be everything).

Itunes is facilitating this, Google wallet has, lets participate...

Let's not forget our teachers, many teachers live in poverty or in near poverty, some even depend their lives on bribes. Let's realize the Kingdom, by changing this.

Makhluk hidup, makhluk hidup, karena memiliki kendali atas diri mereka / sesuatu.

Tithe and Charity v.02

I think the church and gatherings could do this:
- Call people at stage to share their testimonies, and sufferings.
- The Church leader would highlight 2 sufferings of the week, the whole congregation will give charity to the sufferers.
- If the collection money is not enough for both of them, the church priest will run the second collection, if the number is odd, the second charity would go to the first sufferer, if the number was even it will go to the second sufferer.

The church full timers would get their salary from tithes.

-----------------------

The building of the people would consist of two parts:
1. House of prayer (I've seen one of this in Toraja city)
2. Community center.

Every so often, people would gather at the community center sharing their skills, stories, marketings, products music, teachings, etc.
The house of prayer should be separated from the community center, and this is where people pray, it opens everyday, and the full timers could bring ceremonial bread and wine and share them with prayers everyday. They also could read passages from the bible when people pray as well as play soothing voices of praise and worship.

During sunday, people come to the community center, and take turns to enter the house of prayer (since the house of prayer opens everyday, it's might be positioned at the focus of the premise but smaller in size compared to the community center).
At the gathering in the community center people sing and play music and bring collections, help each other, market their products, share their understanding, experiences, and sufferings.
 

Gereja sebagai sumber solusi

Titus 3: 12-14

Segera sesudah kukirim Artemas atau Tikhikus kepadamu, berusahalah datang kepadaku di Nikopolis, karena sudah kuputuskan untuk tinggal di tempat itu selama musim dingin ini. Tolonglah sebaik-baiknya Zenas, ahli hukum itu, dan Apolos, dalam perjalanan mereka, agar mereka jangan kekurangan apapun.

Dan biarlah orang-orang kita juga belajar melakukan pekerjaan yang baik untuk dapat memenuhi keperluan hidup yang pokok, supaya hidup mereka jangan sampai tidak berbuah.  

Till it spent

Difference between Christians' offering and Atheists' charity:
Christians don't give for the sake of this time, helping our brothers is never a waste no matter how much no matter how rare. Never a waste.

Berseru Tuhan Tuhan!

Sering kita dengar orang mengatakan, walaupun kamu sudah bernubuat, melayani, melakukan mujizat, kamu belum tentu dapat diterima Tuhan.
Tapi saya rasa orang suka mencampur-campur apa yang mereka ingat dengan apa yang mereka salah ingat.
Dalam matius 22, menolong orang miskin tidak disinggung-singgung. Kenapa masih bilang lagi, walaupun menolong orang miskin kamu mungkin tidak masuk kerajaan surga menggunakan ayat ini?
Ayat ini jelas jelas bermaksud agar kita melakukan kehendak Bapa di surga, yaitu hal yang lebih penting daripada bernubuat, dan membuat mujizat.

The future of circumcision

In the future the circumcision would be:
To rewire our brain so that the body still tells that it's being broken or might being broken apart but, without objection (pain).
Because we Christians believe that Jesus has broken it's body for us, so it's lovely for a body to be broken apart for the purpose of our mind. The way we want to obey God without objections.
