Oh MAN! I am returning to SG FOR GOOD! BACK TO WORK! And COw has been saying:" .......join us in our suffering!"
It definitely had been a good rest. I think it's time for me to count my blessings (not that i dun).
hmmm.........
Which of this is acceptable/unacceptable to you?
At home:
Oh it is raining so heavily, I think i am not going to:
(1) church
(2) school
(3) gym
(4)meet my frenz
Remembered how some people give comments like...."This is a SPIRITUAL BLACKMAIL lor!" And it usually comes together with rejection of certain things/behaviour they are asked to do/change as a Christian.
Well......if we had the thought that we are being spiritually blackmailed, then are we rejecting it because we are being blackmailed or is it because we does not have a good reason (supported by the bible) to reject it and we just dun want to do it. So are we rejecting God when we dun wanna do it? If what we are ask to do/change is not reasonable, why can't we give a reason to justify the our decision to reject instead of just saying......THIS IS A SPIRITUAL BLACKMAIL!.

TOday sean and i changed the wall clocks early by one hour .....and kim and jas all woke up 1 hour earlier! YAY!
I realised for the past months, my bed sheet and quilt cannot cover my whole bed because they are single sized and my bed is super single. -_-
There are a few different things i like to talk about...haha fyi sometimes i uses my blog to record my thoughts so i can easily access them..sorry if it's too random:
Book JobI was just reading the book of Job. And had realised how i neglected this book, taking it for granted. Book of Job, a book abt this guy, Job, undergo unjustified (in his eyes) suffering and still stick to his faith in God. This book is used too often (i felt), to address the issue of suffering to the pt of being a 'cliche' thingy; "we should be like Job.", "Persist on!", "give thanks", "be like Job". But I realised, I have never really studied it, only a bit of verses here and there over the pupit or from others.
Today I read it and it was CONFUSING! Ok I know that the general interaction with the friends is that, they puts Job down telling him that he is suffering because of his sin (which we know it's not true from the conversation betwn God and satan). And Job rebuked them one after another. But I read about Job and WALAO! This guy is like so "everything also he say one lah"! He is actually complaining to God about his suffering.
"God just let me die!' "Why?! WHY?! WHY?!" "Oh why You create me and then make me suffer?!!!!!!"
Then his friends tell him:" SHUT UP lah! WHo are you to complain?! If it is not because of your sin, will you suffer?!"
Then Job rebuked: "YOU then SHUT UP LAH! ..."(and then suddenly his thinking is correct again shortly before he starts his next complain.)
??????????????????????????????
How are we supposed to be like JOB? WHICH PART OF HIM????
In what ways are his friends wrong? (I can confirm they are wrong) But as friends of others, how are we to learn from these 3 "think-they-r-veri-good" friends about standing by someone who is complaining of his/her situation?
I think def i am going to read more of it. Def!
Talk with Housemate(here and there of the conversation)
"I really hope the church's camp dun make me go through tunnel thingy...............to get slained"
"I dun believe in that"
"I think the Holy Spirit is already in us when we accepts Christ."
"I (and my church) dun believe that the holy spirit is IN us as in dwells in us. We believes that the Holy Spirit works in us through His word, that is the bible."
"I believe that all christians are considered of one church."
"How can? Since all denominations believe in different stuffs."
".......we believe in the Lord's supper...and it is stated very clearly that it used unleavened bread and fruit of the vine....and since it is in the bible...we should follow it.."
A long conversation betwn 3 Christians from different churches. (not going to tell you who says what but added conversation of all 3)
My only prayer is that may further conversation not leads to debates like those of the greeks in the NT but leads to bringing glory and honor to God.
Wanted to say more....but I NEED TO GO FOR BIOCHEM PRAC NOW!
