Divine Word

Image
In Hebrew, the word of ("HEY") ("ה")  can be interpreted as the absence of complement divinity into existence, which is clearly set forth by the word of God contained in the Book of Genesis, regarding the addition of the word "hey" in the name of Abram to Abraham and Sarai became Sarah "

Spiritual Infidelity

Devotional verse:  Matthew 7:21-24,   Luke 6:46-49 And What the Bible says “ Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’  will enter the kingdom of heaven,  but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."  (Matthew 7:21) The emergence of a fundamental understanding of teaching theology in clause contained in a letter written by the Apostle Paul 

Submit Yourselves to God

Image
Devotional verses James 4:1-10 What the bible says: " You adulterous  people,  don’t you know that friendship with the world  means enmity against God?  Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God."

Trials and Temptations

Image
Devotional verses : James 1:2-8 James 1:2 New International Version (NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds. When we look at a work of art is like a painting, which first arises in our minds is the beauty that radiates from it, but have we ever imagine how beautiful the work was created.

Self Evaluation

Image
Devotional verses : Proverbs 27:1-20 Proverbs 27:19 New International Version (NIV) "As water reflects the face,  so one's life reflects the heart." At the moment we see our reflection in the mirror, this is essentially as a reflection of a face that radiates out from our own hearts, which is the actually of human being its self,and one thing that is extremely hard when someone have a wish to evaluate themselves. Is not an easy thing when someone wishes to perform a self-evaluation, because the course will be related to some of the main points.

Cope With Disillusionment

Image
Devotional verse: Luke 7:18-23 In general, disillusionment arises from the people who were around ourselves. Luke 7:23 New International Version (NIV) "Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me." Are we going to allow this to continue, although we certainly have to accept what is as a difference of opinion, forgiving one another is the follow-up as an act of love. (Romans 15:7)

Walking In Faith

Image
Water talk about the shackles that we have, which is limited ability in us, vacillation in the face of the way life, which makes us stuck in doubt to do something good and right, sometimes gripping us in a situation that ultimately lead us into a situation powerless and make our faith shaken, and also undermine our faith, and led to the downfall of us back into the mire of sin, but the boat also talking about the best place for us or a comfort zone that we have.

Lead Me To The Rock

Image
Psalms 61:2 New King James Version (NKJV) From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. A question that talks about "spiritual growth", it is important to realize that God actually wants to bring us to grow and lead us to a higher order of faith, which leads to growth refers to the the maturation of faith according to his will. There are three important things, that be a reference to the the maturation of faith, in a relationship with God that really need our attention, among other things:

The abundance of blessing

Image
" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way. 

What will we bring as a souvenir when we came home one day.?

Revelation 3:5 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Mata saya menerawang jauh entah kemana tampa arah dan tujuan, dan mulut saya pun terkunci tampa dapat berkata-kata walau sepatah katapun, termenung dan terdiam saat seseorang berkata dan bertanya,  "Kehidupan kita hanyalah sebuah perjalanan dari waktu ke waktu, ada saatnya menyenangkan tetapi terkadang secara tiba-tiba akan berubah secara drastis menyesakkan dan menyedihkan dalam rasa khawatir yang mencekam dalam alur air yang mengalir dari sumber kehidupan, tetapi pada akhir perjalanan kita, apakah yang akan kita persembahkan kepada Bapa sebagai cendramata yang berharga untuk dipersembahkan kehadirat-Nya ?."

Serving Unconditionally

Image
Bahan bacaan untuk direnungkan   "  1 Corinthians 4:6-21 " Jika kita melihat fenomena hamba Allah, akhir-akhir ini, cenderung untuk merujuk pada "Prosperity Theology." (Menurut sudut pandang pribadi saya), memanfaatkan dasi, berdiri di mimbar, dengan menjual firman Allah, dengan tujuan mengejar sepotong roti, dengan segelas susu hangat, yang tentunya semakin menjauh dari visi dan misi pelayanan sebagai pendeta. Memulai kehidupan pelayanan dengan tujuan untuk menjadi terkenal, terlepas dari materi penyampaian pesan dari Tuhan, sebagai santapan rohani, hanya sekadar mengejar "Tahta kemuliaan duniawi"  

Be Clean

Image
Although we have recognized or faithful to Christ Jesus, and have become children of his ransom, since his redeeming work, and had been baptized in his name, or maybe we have acquired the gift of Holy Spirit baptism, but whether this was the for us to guarantee that we will remain in the glory of God until we finish the fight of faith. A very difficult thing for us is to maintain the sanctity of the house of God, if we allow ourselves to remain complacent with worldly pleasures and enjoyment of sin.

Deviates Sex Lives

Image
What the Bible say Romans 1:24-27 New King James Version (NKJV) 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.  27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Continued With One Accord In Prayer

Image
Continued with one accord in prayer may be a bit difficult to performed in a considering the plurality of needs, the togetherness, the will, the mind and desires of each individual in one harmony, the will of thought and action or deeds of individuals who are the members of one community. " These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus,  and with His brothers ."   Acts 1:14 Who desperately need humility, mutual respect, mutual appreciation for each other in great eagerness accepting what personality of each of one another, there dawned without the slightest desire to advance personal interests and desire for mutual self-effacing.

Bear Fruit Even When We Are Old

Ada saatnya kita akan berubah menjadi tua dengan perubahan baik fisik maupun mental tentunya. Kemampuan untuk berjalan dengan tegak mungkin bagi sebagian orang pun mulai mengalami kesulitan, badan mulai membungkuk saat berjalan, rambut pun mulai memutih, mulai timbul keluhan nyeri pada bagian punggung dan kaki, demikian pula diiringi dengan mulai menurunnya tenaga, beraktivitas dengan napas yang mulai terengah-engah, dan disertai pula kemapuan berjalan yang mulai tertatih-tatih, sebagai pertanda bahwa mulai memasuki usia lanjut. Memasuki masa pensiun dari pekerjaan yang selama ini ditekuni, disebabkan oleh berkurangnya kemampuan dalam melaksanakan pekerjaan yang selama ini menjadi aktivitas kita, mungkin dalam kesendirian dikarenakan orang yang dicintai sebagai suatu biduk keluarga yang selama ini terjalin dalam suatu ikatan kasih, merasuk menjadi suatu kesepian yang berkepanjangan, dimana anak-anak telah memiliki keluarga, atau mungkin pula orang yang selama ini menda

Promises to Abram

Image
Genesis 12:1-8 New King James Version (NKJV) Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family, And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you, And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.  I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram  was  seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites  were then in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and sa

The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers

Seorang tuan yang kaya raya membuka lahan anggur dan menyewakan kepada beberapa orang penggarap untuk mengelola lahan anggurnya dengan perjanjian bagi hasil sesuai kesepakatan bersama, dan pada saatnya musim panen, dia menyuruh seorang hambanya untuk mengambil hasil panen yang menjadi bagiannya tetapi penggarap-penggarap itu mengingkari janji mereka, mengusir dan menganiaya hamba itu dan menyuruhnya kembali pulang dengan tangan hampa, demikian kejadian ini berulang setiap musim panen, sehingga

We are Justified by Faith

Karena semua orang telah berdosa dikarenakan mereka terikat dan terbelenggu oleh hukum Taurat dan mereka hanya takut akan hukuman Allah tetapi tidak sedikitpun mereka takut akan "ALLAH". Karena seperti kita ketahui bahwa apa yang tercantum dan tertulis dalam hukum Taurat hanya ditujukan kepada mereka yang hidup dibawah hukum Taurat dan menyumbat setiap mulut mereka dan tidak seorangpun diantara mereka dibenarkan dihadapan Allah oleh karena melakukan hukum itu, tetapi justru sebaliknya mereka diajarkan untuk mengenal "Dosa". Dan tentunya mereka tidak mengenal akan Allah melainkan hanya terbatas pada takut akan hukuman Allah belaka.  "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God: Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Romans 3:24 KJV

Whether We Should Reading The Words Of God

Image
"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed there to according to thy word." Psa 119:9 (KJV) Pada saat saya melihat seorang lelaki tua dengan rutinitasnya sehari-hari, duduk di beranda rumahnya sambil berdoa dan melanjutkan dengan membuka selembar demi selembar kitab sucinya, dengan ketekunan membaca dalam merenungkan firman Tuhan dari dalamnya, dan terpancar pula ketenangan jiwanya melalui pantulan wajahnya,  sambil sesekali pula kakek membacakan apa yang dibaca kepada beberapa kanak-kanak yang dengan antusiasnya mendengarkan, sambil sesekali terdengar beberapa pertanyaan yang mereka ingin lebih mengetahui apa maknanya.
