Have a Blessed Christmas!

“Silent Night”

Let me tell you about my Jesus!

A Paul Washer confession. We can not see God’s greatness until we don’t see our smallness! We have a great opinion about us, we are great! Even we don’t recognize it and we pretend we are humble.

It’s a trap! You can not tell lies to God! You can not tell lies to Jesus! You can not tell lies to Holy Spirit! But we lie ourselves that we are Christians, that we are His disciples. We lie that we are truly dedicated to Him. We lie…  Until when? Until one day. When we will not be able to lie anymore… and we will loose. We will loose ALL!

Are you ready to die for Jesus?

I mean to REALLY die, to protect his name and His eternal life. Are you ready?

Is so easy to SAY WORDS (… just words) about and for Jesus, to declare that you love Him. But what about proving that when and if necessary? This is a free country. I mean both: USA and Romania. Both are free countries. Is no danger for us to proclaim our faith. We affirm we are not in danger to be killed for that. BUT, the question is: Would you do the same thing if you were a Chinese man/woman? Would you have the courage to sustain your faith in a country where the most people aren’t Christian? It’s up to you to answer this question. It’s up to you to face this question sincerely and to think more about how much you really love Jesus, and how much could you defend your relation with Him. I can’t answer for you, but I can invite you to watch this video:

 Is so good to live a life with Him!

Facts weigh more than words!

THE PINEAPPLE STORY

.

“A pineapple garden, a group of natives, a missionary who fought hard & long for something that God eventually called him to release…. Join Otto Koning as he shares about dealing with surrendering rights and conquering anger in a Dutch New Guinea village.”

It is not only full of adventure and wisdom, but also… funny. I really recommend you to watch it. This story is split in 6 parts, each 10 min long.

NO MATTER WHAT A PERSON WOULD DO

.

No matter what a person would do, without GOD, no matter what he/she would imagine, everything is passing. Many of human “inventions” appeared because God wanted to make our life better in an area or another.

But many other “inventions” are Satan power’s fruits on earth. If a person could oppose devil’s temptation and threat, if he/she could obey ONLY God, that invention will not be hurtful. On contrary, if someone makes a deal with Satan – I know this sounds terrible, but this is the truth – well, “his/her” mind’s fruit will bring troubles for the humanity, now, or in the future.

Your desire to be famous, to be a landmark (YOU, not God!), to gather all the others around you and worship you, will cost us a lot. Because your “fudge” – no matter what area we are talking about here – will cost lives, or even worst, souls

PSALM 91

 

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling – even the LORD, who is my refuge - then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

“Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

1 CORINTHIANS 13

” If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. “

This is passage 1 Corinthians 13 from the Bible

I think that we used this word “love” so many different ways nowadays, so the real meaning of LOVE was lost in time. Not only lost, but its meaning was also deformed, according to the person who uses it. We know who is interest in deforming this meaning, by giving it many wrong images.

 

How big our God’s love was for us that “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3.16).

 

Love is not vogue, it is modesty.

Love is not when you convert yourself in your own idol, when you promote yourself, and your image.

Love is not what we watch on TV day and night (and especially at night).

Television sells image. This is its role. It is shallow and it sells shallowness. The image is what they sell, not the substance. There are advisors and counselors behind each smile, behind any retort. Behind that seemingly blunder, too.

 

Nowadays it is up to date aggressiveness, vulgarity and their degradations. (as also said in About this weblog). More violent we are, much more we win in this world.

 

Love can’t be selfish, even we watch all around this feeling. It seems to be love but it is not.

Love is not intrigue; even the soap operas are based on this feeling.

Love is sacrifice, is giving up at something important (for you) in order to do something important for the other one. And especially doing that with joy!

Love can’t be jealous, because a person is not an object, a thing. You can’t posses him/her. If we feel jealousy for someone this is not love, it is pride and imagination.

 

SOMEONE really loves us with jealousy but this is the only right feeling, because He really owns us. He bought us with His Son’s blood, so He is the only one who can claim what He owns.

Love was so beautiful in those old times, 2000 years ago, in 1 Corinthians 13

 

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the author of “The Little Prince” (you can read it here) was giving a wonderful definition for love: “Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.” Aimer, ce n’est pas se regarder l’un l’autre, c’est regarder ensemble dans la même direction.
