Text of the page (random words):
the narrow path the christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting it has been found difficult and left untried g k chesterton wednesday july 08 2009 quick thoughts if we were to treat god as a person and not an object or label our paths would be less treacherous to walk we talk to our friends about god only when they are visibly ready to listen if not we say nothing about god for fear of hurting their feelings but are we not fearful of hurting god s feeling by abandoning the great commission as shepherds we rebuke others indulgence in sin only when they are visibly ready to listen if not we say nothing about it for fear of hurting their feelings but are we not fearful of hurting god s feeling by abandoning our role as shepherds posted by dan at 7 08 2009 11 56 00 pm 3 comments the sad story of god and his people you have rejected me declares the lord you keep on backsliding so i will lay hands on you and destroy you i can no longer shown compassion jer 15 6 my eyes are on all their ways they are not hidden from me nor is their sin concealed from my eyes jer 16 17 now therefore say to the people of judah and those living in jerusalem this is what the lord says look i am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you so turn from your evil ways each one of you and reform your ways and your actions but they will reply it s no use we will continue with our own plans each of us will follow the stubbornness of his evil heart jer 18 11 12 i myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm in anger and fury and great wrath jer 21 5 i warned you when you felt secure but you said i will not listen this has been your way from your youth you have not obeyed me jer 22 21 can anyone hide in secret places so that i cannot see him declares the lord do i not fill heaven and earth declares the lord jer 23 24 i have been captivated by the love story of god in the book of jeremiah for the past few weeks i felt so sad god s heart is absolutely shattered in pieces through his servant jeremiah he pursued his ever sinning covenant people relentlessly desiring them to return to his embrace to enjoy him yet time and time again they chose lifeless idols over him stubbornly choosing to live a sin bounded life than to live within the boundaries of a blessed life god used jeremiah to persuade them to repent even to the extent of warning them of the imminent destruction if they do not repent yet they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts deceiving themselves that nothing will happen to them they lived sinfully as if god could not see their wicked ways eventually grace period was over the most dreadful thing that could happen happened god himself fought against his people bringing death and destruction to these arrogant people who think that they could escape the fury judgment of god the same applies exactly to us today even if we have already become the adopted children of god many times we still choose temporary pleasures over him stubbornly choosing to live under the bondage of sin than to live under the freedom of christ we deceive ourselves that god will not take action against us because he will forgive us the moment we confess our sins this is true but by doing so again and again we are abusing god s grace we lived sinfully and even if the whole world does not know it god knows it the book of jeremiah is a stark reminder to us that god is holy and just and if we think that we can keep abusing the grace that is given to us through the death and resurrection of christ we are either too naive or we are trying to deceive ourselves i would not want to wait until god s wrath reaches the level that he decides to wage his war against me i do not think anyone will want to end up there either stop deceiving ourselves pretending that it is ok to keep sinning and confessing quit our habit and addiction to sin and return to god choose god over sin posted by dan at 7 08 2009 10 06 00 am 1 comments tuesday july 07 2009 this season s lesson be her after much prayer and observation i gathered that the lord has three lessons that he specifically wants me to learn during this season of my life i named this season as be her season i know it sounds feminine the lord wants me to learn to be h for humble key verse take my yoke upon you and learn from me for i am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls matt 11 29 comment my fragile emotions are easily affected by the perception of others a word of praise can make my day but a word of criticism can cause me to feel wounded angry and discouraged for some time i need to take pride down from its throne and learn to be humble at heart like jesus i need to say it s ok when others perceive me negatively because at the end of the day what matters most is to please god and gain his favour nothing else matters e for evangelistic key verse but if i say i will not mention him or speak any more in his name his word is in my heart like a fire a fire shut up in my bones i am weary of holding it in indeed i cannot jer 20 9 comment i tend to fear man more than god the fear of rejection and mockery from others often rob me of the courage to proclaim god s love and salvation to them recently thank god that he has been doing many amazing work in me he has given me the passion for the salvation of others that compelled me to share the gospel to people around me as a result i had the privilege of being used by god to lead many into his kingdom hey it is not as difficult as i thought in the first place the more i do the easier it becomes the more confident i become i still fear man occasionally but i am improving just like jeremiah i pray that god s word will be in my heart like a fire and i will be weary of holding it in what am i still waiting for spread the seeds of the gospel now r for relaxed key verse who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life matt 6 27 comment i must admit perfectionism runs in my blood although the degree of it varies in various seasons when there is something that i need to do i must do it now i will feel restless until i have completed the task and when i do that something i must do it to the best i can if not i will feel bad about it even when i was young i already had it in me for example when i was in primary school when i was given a stack of weekend homework for me to do during the weekends i would start doing it the moment i entered house after school and i will finish it before i have my dinner homework that was supposed to be spread out nicely for the weekend but i gobbled it up in a few hours time now that i have become a pastor you can see the imminent danger that is lurking around all the time as a pastor there is always work to do needs to attend to things in church and ministry you want to improve on thus if i am not careful i can always remain in a state of stress and intensity if this goes on my health will deteriorate fast thus in this season god is teaching me to learn to relax it is ok to leave the work and need aside and enjoy time with my loved ones enjoy time even with myself i need to learn not to worry as i always tell others worry is an insult to god may god help me as i embark on mastering these three things humble evangelistic and relaxed remember me in your prayers posted by dan at 7 07 2009 11 47 00 pm 1 comments monday july 06 2009 reminder of the sender yesterday we experienced a rare rainy day a much anticipated one amidst long seasons of hot and dry days thank god for sending down rain from above let rain be a sign to remind us of the sender of rain and the absolute hope we can put in this awesome sender jeremiah 14 22 do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain do the skies themselves send down showers no it is you o lord our god therefore our hope is in you for you are the one who does all this posted by dan at 7 06 2009 03 31 00 pm 0 comments friday july 03 2009 only what god thinks matters it s not about what i can do for god it s about what god wants me to do it s not about who i can be for god it s about who god wants me to be only what god thinks matters not what others think not even what i think be still before him wait upon him don t rush into being a hero or saviour of this world posted by dan at 7 03 2009 03 11 00 pm 0 comments remember his faithfulness psalm 77 7 15 will the lord reject forever will he never show his favor again has his unfailing love vanished forever has his promise failed for all time has god forgotten to be merciful has he in anger withheld his compassion then i thought to this i will appeal the years of the right hand of the most high i will remember the deeds of the lord yes i will remember your miracles of long ago i will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds your ways o god are holy what god is so great as our god you are the god who performs miracles you display your power among the peoples with your mighty arm you redeemed your people the descendants of jacob and joseph thoughts whenever you feel that god seems to be turning his face away from you ignoring you and remaining in silence even as you plea and beg with him in times of trouble think about how faithful he has been all this while in loving and caring for you don t even for one second listen to the thought of doubt and deception that the devil is trying to plant in you god is near and he will help you simply because he can simply because he care amen god is awesome indeed what god is as great as our god how can we even doubt him trust in him at all times posted by dan at 7 03 2009 11 48 00 am 0 comments monday may 25 2009 the most dangerous thing my answer previously what is the most
