CHURCH

a reply from cheryln to my poem:
'Out on the edge
With you as my center
The point around which all my world revolves
Every question can find an answer
Every problem can be solved
Things seem clearer...& I can see you work...

But only when I first make You my center

Thanks for your enligtenment Cheryln , I totally get what you're trying to say. Nice and heartwarming ((:

Oh well , I WENT TO CHURCH TODAY OK! so whoever said that I was a horrible church poner, u are so wroing.YES?ADMIT IT!
Today's message title was : " The Snare of the Devil" 2 Timothy 2:20-26

What kind of snare does the devil place upon you?
Ans-An attractive bait/snare
definition of captive: capture one alive

Like duh? right? But even so as we know it , then why do we always fall for it?
The Devil always brings someone unepectantly in control , and we have no clue whatsoever/
PASTOR:The Devil brings evil through the vessel of a human being, through man. And we'd become the slave of the Devil, having our senses dulled/ And he generaly generates the wrong feelings and ultimately makes us do hos will.
Prevention/ cure?
1.Daily cleansing of self to be a vessel of honour.Pursue righteousness, faith and peace.
2.Repenting humbly when corrected. Do not go against, have Humility.
3.Listen carefully and obey, when in wrong.

Thus like alcohol, the Devil dulls our senses , ceases alertness and slows down our reaction , without us KNOWING IT AT ALL.;P
And we should be vessels of honour , not dishonour.

According to him , one dishonouring example was this man who went against bethany in his blog xP/
Mathew 13:37 , He was like the Tares or so called , son of the wicked one.
BY insulting Bethany , he was like breaking the bonds of the church and opposited to GOD.Not only did he found disfavour with himself , but to The LORD and others, tainting their spirits through influences ,in which the results might be quite dire.

My question and response to all of these is then , what exactly is freedom, liverty? There is liberty at all cause, however PASTOR responded to us, when we are the sons and daughters of the LORD , which everyone pract is, see if they're willing or not , is to have freedom , but in the truth, with honour , accountability and faith. And therefore, it is not for us to condemn anyone or anything withour reason and argue pointlesly over trivial matters, or to win because of our 'thick skin'.

DO you find me a bore now?HAHAHA. But i truly do find sense in these words, i mean u had to be there at today's sermon to understand and feel it, otherwise reading it emotionlessy form my blog wouldn't do. Anyway i don't have time to type down every single on of the many points stated. ((:
