Reflection 12/9/2010
This morning the thought was on "Living Faith".
James 2:19 says," You believe that there is one God, Good! Even the demons believe that--- and shudder." The demons are enemies of God and God's people. Though they believe there is one God, yet they are not saved.
Roman 1:21 says, "Though they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him." People knew God exits and yet would not come to him. They are lost in eternity.
I Cor 6:9 clearly spelled out that "the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God." It goes even to point out what he meant to be termed "wicked".And we read,"homosexual" was listed there. Thus people who dwell in sins and immorality can never have a part in the kingdom of God.
James firmly pointed out:James 2:17"faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." It is useless (ineffective) cf 2:20 James illustrated the meaning of a living faith: faith and action working together.cf 2:22
John said in 1Jn 5:18 "anyone born of God does not continue to sin."
Geniune faith in Christ brought about repentence and hatred of sin. Geniune faith in Christ acknowldges that Christ has died for our sin and we will not continue to sin. Instead, we will live in obedience of God's teaching. We will work hard to live in His will. Our life will bear fruit to glorify His holy name.
Roman 10:9-10 is trying to tell us that faith in Christ means fully acknowledge the redemptive work of the cross, and believing in the deity of Christ, and is convicted that He is risen from the dead. Such faith is confessed with the visible manifestation of obedience in water baptism and life transformation by the Holy Spirt. Further more, one is bold to testify for Christ, addressing Christ Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
If we called ourselves the follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, we should obey God and live out the new life given to us.

Reflection 5/9/2010
This morning the main thought was taken from Jeremiah 17: 9-10
* The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.
Meditation: very often we do not mean what we say, and we do not really mean what we do. We can be just putting on a show! Trying to please someone, may be. We can even self deceived. We can be pretending to be what we are not.
Therefore, we need to check our hearts and our intent. Christians must learn to live in sincerity and truthfulness.
* I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind.
Wow! We may be a great pretender, but we cannot escape the all searching eye of God.
We must learn to live close to God and live right with man.
* Search me O God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts.
In order to live right and be found pleasing in the sight of God, we need to humbly seeking the Lord to search our hearts and to test our action. We want to be glorifying God in everything we do.
Be teachable, and be responsive to God all time.Amen.
