Earth, who's going to save it?

Due to result of human carelessness and greed, the earth has been devastating.

To mention but some of the problems-Deforestation,excessive pesticide usage, overfishing, pollution of sea and river and the greedy use of earth's natural resources.

It seem that man have no desire to keep and maintain this beautiful earth. Instead, man is occupied with selfishness and greed ruining this earth. Shall we worry the earth one day will be totally destroyed? If no, who's going to save the earth? Human?

Refer to bible and see what the bible prophecy shows the destiny of this beautiful earth.

Jehovah God has ruled that the time has come to force out the bad tenants of this earth as said at Zephaniah 1:14 "The great day of Jehovah is near. It is near, and there is a hurrying of it very much. The sound of the day of Jehovah is bitter. There a mighty man is letting out a cry."

Before man can damage the earth irretrievably, God will act and urged us to get ourselves ready waiting for this day as said at Matthew 24:14 "On this account you too prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that you do not think to be it, the Son of man is coming."

Isn't it a relief knowing that the Almighty God will save the earth for us?
So we shall not worry but trust the holy and loving God will prevent the earth being destroyed by the greedy human kind.

Rat race

Since childhood, we have been taught on "how" to make a living, "how" to attain a better life and "how" to surround ourselves with luxuries items in our future life.

But very intrigued, once having solved this question, we are left with another bigger question. Why run this rat race? What's the point in doing these?

Imagine, having just bombarded with headache workload at office and now you are trapped at the frustrated traffic jam at the middle of the city. Is it worth spending time now searching for these questions? Most of us choose to ignore such questions. However it is like trying to ignore a pebble in our shoe, we can still continue walking but the journey will be an unhappy one. May be it is wise to stop the journey for a while and get rid of the pebble before start continuing our life journey again.

Satisfying life, is it real and achievable? How can we find real peace of mind? How can we putting ourselves in the right balance between the materialise and spiritualism.

The quest for answers is the starting point preventing us from again and again take ignorance of the little pebble in our shoe. It is very true as Jesus said at John 8:32 " and You will know the truth and the truth will set You free."

Are we running out of water?

How you obtain your water? Do you need to walk a long distance, wait in line. and then carry a heavy bucket back to your home?

The fact is over a third of world's population is affected by water resource. Particularly in Africa and most poor countries.

Are you agree where there is no water, there is no life? We live by the grace of water.

However there is another type of water that bible refer to. It is the water that leads to satisfying life. Jesus explained it at John 4:1-5 "...Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water bubbling up to everlasting life."

We human need both physical and spiritual sense of water to sustain our life. It is very true nowadays the world is suffering a serious spiritual drought. More and more people are suffering from depression and thirst for answers to such question as: Why are we here? Where are the dead? Why does God allow suffering? Will we able to live a satisfying life?

Let us open our heart and absorb the answers from the refreshing "water" of God's word, the bible. As Revelation 22:17 said "Let anyone thirsting come, let anyone that wishes take life's water free."

Living in Imperfection

Are you agree we are imperfect human living an imperfect life at this imperfect world system of things?

Many times imperfection lead us to be in sorrow state. See how many ways and times we are hurt with our surrounding life events.

We are hurt trying to create a perfect human relationship. (divorced rate is getting higher and higher)

We are hurt trying to create a perfect commercial system. (more and more poor ones starving without any food to eat while some rich man enjoy their "good" life)

We are hurt trying to create a perfect attitude among ourself. (sometime bad thought eating our heart without us being notice about it)

We are hurt trying to create a perfect environmental clean earth. (global warming is gradually destroying the earth creatures nowadays)

We are hurt trying to create a perfect body. (all of us one day will get sick and die)

We are hurt trying to create a perfect love among people. (more and more immoral youth crowding the street try to get attention and love from people surrounding them, where are the loves of their parents towards them)

We are hurt trying to create a perfect government. (politician playing corrupting game with their so-call "noble" rescuing country or world plan)

We are hurt trying to create a peace world. (people willing to kill themselves causing innocent life in the false religion's war)

However, there is a marvelous hope with Jehovah God has promised us with the perfect human (without Satan influences) living a perfect life (ever lasting life) at this perfect world system of things (paradise earth).

May all of us knowing the God's will and bring our life into harmony with it. Only then will we find the purpose of our creation and existence and be able to find the inner peace, joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment.

Tongue of mercy

The way we use our tongue is an indication of whether we have the wisdom that is "full of mercy."

Sometime people due to jealousy or contentiousness we were to boast, lie, or spread harmful gossip. And how quickly these injurious talk can damage an innocent one's good reputation!

True mercy requires that we use our tongue in a chaste, peaceable and reasonable way. See how important it is that we be merciful in the use of our tongue as said by Jesus at Matthew 12:36 "I tell you that every unprofitable saying that men speak, they will render an account concerning it on Judgement Day."

Tongue of mercy is what we need to say as exactly what we want to heard from others .........

I once was blind but now I see

We have been living in this world for so long that we start taking things for granted.
We start accepting things even our conscience tell us it is wrong. We are being influenced by the world together with "unseen" society pressure, sadly, start accepting certain things which are wrong from God's standard.

Have you ever wonder where is this "unseen" pressure coming from? Created by human themselves? Or it is coming from some other more powerful spirit that control the world?

See what the bible said about this.

The unseen pressure is coming from Satan as bible said at 1 John 5:19 "We know we are originated from God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked (Satan) one."

Human sometime can be so blinded as bible said at Jeremiah 8:6 ".....There was not a man repenting over his badness, saying, 'What have I done?' Each one is going back into the popular course, like a horse that is dashing into a battle."

How can we make ourselves "see" and stop being "blinded"?

Reading the bible can help us to "see" things more clearly as 2 Timothy 3:15-16 said "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."

The words of God (bible) trains us to have the ability on how to love what God love and to hate what God hate as bible said at Psalms 97:10 "O YOU lovers of Jehovah, hate what is bad......".

This precious ability is illustrated as "solid food" as stated at Hebrew 5:14 "...solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong."

May all of us start seeing and not being blinded again...

Comfort & Love

It has been a blessing experience for me yesterday night when I was attending the Wednesday church service at Nottingham.

The love and words of comfort from fellow Christian's brothers and sisters really overwhelmed me. It must be the grace from God Jehovah upon me. Some of them even prayed for me at their private time as I just have been laid off from my job here.

I am going to miss all of them and I will definitely carrying the love of them in my heart knowing God want us to be happy even when we are facing with tribulation by showing love towards us.

Thanks God and all the kingdom hall brothers and sisters from bottom of my heart. Praise Jehovah.

Teach us to be good....

It is true all the beliefs "teach" us to be good.

But have you ever wonder is it enough for our beliefs just "teach" us to be good?

Do we need to examine ourself what are the other teaching of our belief other than "teach" us to be good? Is it matter if the other teaching of our belief doesn't make sense to us other than the part teach us to be good?

If a person give you a glass of water with a small drop of poison inside it and say to you "don't worry, most of the content of the drink is still pure water." Will you still drink the water?
I am sure the answer is No. Nobody will.

See what the bible said about this.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 "...Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness...."

2 Timothy 3:5 "....having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power.."

James 1:27 "The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world."

Most of us used to say "most of the beliefs are same, teaching people to be good". But shouldn't we not putting ourselves in a situation as Jesus said at John 4-22 "YOU worship what YOU do not know."?

Hope on the government?

What the history of many many human controlled government outputs tells us? Is there any difference between one old government to another newly elected government? Are we sometime putting too much hope on the newly elected government?

The answer is as Ecclesiastes 8:9 tells us "All this I have seen, and there was an applying of my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, during the time that man has dominated man to his injury." It is true that even the motives of some newly elected government is good and they are having initially very high ambitious, eventually it still made man to his injuries. The injustice, poor and rich, suffering, prosecution , corruption, racial conflict and social crime can't be totally destroyed but getting worst and worst as time goes by.

Have you ever wonder why these things happened? What are the problems faced by these governments in fulfilling their promise to their nation people?

Jeremiah 9:23 tells us "I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." This bible verse tell us that God doesn't gave human the right to walk on his own without the guidance of God as human even can't direct his own steps.

Refer to Genesis 8:21 "....because the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up...." Every human including the people holding the power of the governments are born together with sin and having selfishness inclination.

And the other important reason is as 1 John 5:19 tells us "We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of wicked one." We are living in this world against the power and influence of the Satan spirit who control the world including the government.

Shall we putting our hope and feel MAD, ANGRY, DISGUSTED, ENRAGED AND FRUSTRATED with the updates of any government movement?
Psalms 146:3,4 said "Do not put your trust in nobles, Nor in the son of the earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes to his ground. In that day his thoughts is perish."

Refer to Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."

This government set up by the God of heaven one day will bring us the real world peace and giving us the real joys living in this beautiful earth...

Are you worry about the world future?

As 1 Corinthians 7:31 said "The scene of this world is changing." They are just applicable today as much of what we see happening these days is frightening.

News report are filled with accounts of increasing crime, terrorist activities, secular and religious strife, ethnic conflict, deadly diseases and devastating natural disasters. Many die.

Bible indicated that this climate of fear and apprehension would intensify. Luke 21:25,26 foretold a time in the future when there would be "anguish of natural, not knowing the way out...while men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth."

Where can relief from such stresses and anxieties can be found? In the word of God. The bible was inspired by God, "...Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all tribulation." (2 Corinthians 1:3,4).

In God's Word we find reliable counsel on how to handle problems, guidance to help us avoid many distressing situations, and a comforting message of hope for a much brighter future.

Learn to trust in Jehovah God with all our heart and do not lean upon our own understanding. In all your ways take notice of Him, and he himself will make your path straight. (Prov 3:5,6)

One day....

One day....
I'll find relief
I'll be arrived in a peaceful abiding place
I'll dwell in residences of full confidence and in undisturbed resting place
I'll reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity

One day....
I'll be at peace
I'll be enlightened and I'll be married with children
I'll find my exquisite delight in the abundance of peace
And I'll be a friend to my friends
who know how to be friends

One day.....
I will be healed
God will wipe out every tear from my eye
and death will be no more
Death is to be brought to nothing
Neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore
The former things have passed away from me

One day....
I'll be secured and less afraid
They will not lift up sword, nation against nation
Neither will they learn war anymore
Wars are made to cease to the extremity of the earth

One day....
I will be faith-filled
The hour is coming in which
all those in memorial tombs will hear voice and come out
And I'll know God
And I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day

One day....
I'll be lightened up
I will actually sit under my vine and fig tree
There will be no one making them tremble
There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth
On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow

What is the purpose of life?

Is it true there is no ultimate meaning in life? Is it mean for us and up to us to determine for ourselves the purpose of life?

Consider what the bible said to Adam and Eve about the purpose of life. Genesis 1:28 "be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heaven and every living creature that is moving upon the earth".

Is this many thousand years old god given purpose of life still valid at the present modern world? Does God put an end to it after we have achieve the purpose of our life? No, god purposed us to make earth a paradise and doesn't it all of us have limit our purpose of life by putting an end to it?

Are we determine to accumulate as much as possible wealth and put an end to it? Are we determine to raise our kids to have a better life and then put an end to our own life? Are we determine to travel to as much as possible countries around the world before we put an end to our life?

Bible tell us the marvelous hope that God have gave us the purpose of life so we shall never lost again accompany by the loving God!

Where did we come from???

Would you like to think yourself as an orphan? Who does? Nobody will. We feel sorry to see somebody become orphan when they are still kid as their parent pass away.

What parent mean to us when we are still kid learning to adapt to new world we just been born to? As we still remember, we always want to embrace into the arm and shoulder of our parent's love. They have become our source of wisdom to consult. They make us feel secure, protected no matter what the outside world is. Home becoming our joy and peace.

Then, is the answer where does we come from matter to us now? Do we feeling the same way towards our life creator as we do towards our parent when we are still kid? Would you like to have a source of superior wisdom to consult facing our daily life issues and difficulties? Would you like to embrace into the joy and peace by knowing the real meaning of life? Would you like to feel secure and protected inside our heart knowing the life creator never abandon us?

Bible teaches us mankind is the direct creation of God and give us the answer of our life's goals....

How much new calendar year mean to us?

How much is the change in figure of calendar year mean to us?
See what the people said about their new year wish......
"I am looking forward for the better 2009 as it can't be worst than 2008"...
"I wish I will be debt free at year of 2009".....
"I am look forward to Obama presiden to create a better world for us".......
"I want to become a millionaire at 2009"....
"I wish economy turn over at 2009"....

How much "better" is the "better" a year can be....Is there any real "better" year for all of us to live in this wonderful beautiful created world.....Or will these people who make the new year wish and resolution will ever satify with their wished "better" year?

Shall we standing still at our own circle (years and years again) by wishing a better year to come or shall we equipped and renew ourself by expecting a worst year to come? Are we making our new year resolution to the air, forgotten after tomorrow? Or are we making our resolution by leave it to "somebody" to ceate a better year for us?

What will be the best "year" to come for this world? What is the greatest hope that we can have for a better year to come? Who is the "somebody " that we can depend on for creating a better world for us?

May all of us know the greatest hope that God have promise us with a real "better" year to come.....the paradise!!!!
