Readers and gentlemen, 

     Have we ever watch the movie "Coboy", which is always portrayed in this film which are held by a village neighbor bandits (coboy evil). This village can not develop well because of all the produce that is in this village always seized and looted by bandits (coboy evil), the This village can not even live in peace and peaceful because harassment, threats and terror that can come at any time upon them.Even something that is not desirable and often happens is occur at any time of murder, kidnapping, rape, and warfare. The situation of this village at any time either during the day or night days are always tense, which is often heard cries and screams good women and children alike. This goes on continuously, without even one person among men in this village who can resist the evil bandits this. 

     Without the expected and realized by the existing residents in this village came a young man who does not know where it came from the youth this (foreigners). A young man who was a stranger in this village listening situations, conditions, circumstances and even distress, the screams and suffering that every day without knowing afternoon or night experienced by them from the bandits the evil. A young man is concerned and feels affection toward what is experienced by the villagers he had just attended. Then on a day which unexpectedly came bandit-bandit/coboy This evil, then there are extraordinary firefight between youth a stranger in this village with an evil bandits that. Battles, fights and shoot- it happened so A long time....But this young man finally won the battle The result of all this...is a successful youth defeat the evil that he finally bandit-bandit/coboy exalted, honored, proud and even served a variety of dishes delicious, delicious food. But without warning by residents of this village, This young man will leave them as it will go on, mission, which he had responsibility entailed. 

     The village is also live in peace , peace and joy and no longer a bother them....all our readers....village situation described above is the situation of human life and our lives today, where we are because of weakness, disability, and fear as well as various other shortcomings , we do not live in peace, tranquility and prosperity which we are often suppressed, tortured and tormented by the sin us. And this picture of our world today where there are still many person or condition of the world today who still controlled "by bandit-bandit/coboy evil is the devil". The situation is so world or we need a young man (Jesus Christ) for liberate us or liberate us from the shackles and the disruption of the evil one. Because no human can out of the shackles of sin if not through the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ because they came into the world, where a world ruled by the darkness of sin and won the believer. When our people believe was won by Jesus Christ is where true peace and heaven. Human life and peace with others and with nature and the environment humans are always alive and at peace with the Lord Jesus Christ this is eternal life and salvation.

....because JESUS CHRIST THAT WE WON....

Hope this is useful for readers....

Jesus Christ has never changed him who is always there yours first, today and forever. 

amen.

Understanding Christ's passion on Sunday , Passion Sunday

My beloved in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

     My beloved in the Lord Jesus Christ . He who suffers for us sinners . The human condition when faced with suffering there must be doubts , fears , anxiety and resignation even get in on the action outside God's will. human suffering faced by the various diversity , among others : there is suffering because of someone else ( the environment ) , There are also suffering because of himself ( his own actions make him suffer ) . This is so that everyone is human or in general , have a way , attitudes and responses that are different and when he was faced with a affliction.Is suffering small/light, moderate or heavy. 

     Something that most do not desirable or desired by all people of faith that is when there is people who respond to and resolve problems of living/suffering in a way, attitudes or responses that lead to ignorance and loss of faith such as shortening the life. In principle we Man are a people who have many limitations and shortcomings, this so we also have different abilities to provide solutions in solve/deal with the suffering inflicted upon us. For example : "there are two people the child has been assigned by his father for a homework, the first child who has been assigned by his father to draw water wells at a considerable distance from home. And The second child is given the task to clean the yard, dirty with garbage and weeds. first child have difficulty to draw water, where he drew yet water tool used to draw water down into the well and with various ways (various efforts) to retrieve the tool who fell into the well until he got home but no one bit water he was carrying. Suffering their first child this is how he must be accountable for his work to his father, that he has made is to say honestly to his father what he experienced so no one bit of water he was carrying. Because honesty and openness of this child so that his father proud and help him to overcome the problems faced by children. Children The second is given the task to clean the yard of the house rubbish and grass, yet he runs the task given by her father, she gets seduction and temptation are invited friends to play. This state of affairs so that the home page should be clean or free of trash and weeds , but still dirty and nasty. 

     Seeing this situation, then the father very angry and gave the penalty is not given money snacks for one week. This second child and the irresponsible easy to be wooed, seduced and persuaded not to suffer received rations for a week pocket money, so he's doing is to beg and ask for money to his friends, but what he did not expect the same as what is becoming a reality, he did not earn any money. This is the second child's suffering. With understand the story of two children it can be seen that they have different ways to deal with the suffering caused by something the unintended and something of stupidity itself . 

     Probably we possess such manner as the first child or children second. Everything depends on us assess or choose in what manner we are facing difficult situations , complicated, chaotic and suffering though. How Lord Jesus Christ to suffer a actually it is we who bear them ?. We actually said in ourselves that : "Jesus Christ......oh......You....who suffer through no fault of yours, not because of your sins and also not because of thy weakness........BUT......it's all because mistakes, sins and our weakness...but thou bear...". Jesus Christ who suffered no single human being human on this earth that can accept and able to deal with it like Jesus. He is spat upon, mocked, scorned, cursed, ridiculed, beaten, whipped and tortured. Can we spat upon, mocked Can we, Can we scorned, cursed, Can we mocked, beaten Can we, Can we on the whips and Can we be tortured for something we never do or imagined. If we are experiencing is probably not the way of peace , willingness to surrender or we will show our might shows us the origin of which is "a tooth for a tooth". "eye for an eye", "Blood instead of blood " and even " life changing lives. "

     The believer ( Christian ) in this day and age are the people who is enabled to the face of every hardship and challenges of life experienced . When we understand Christ's suffering for us, that's where we will learn to be able to suffer...because of the suffering that we experience are suffering that do not exceed the limits of strength and ability us. Do not be because of the suffering that we experience makes us forget the identity, nature and dignity and our self-esteem as Christians are saved through Jesus Christ's suffering. Something unfortunate when it was discovered that there are Christians who simply because of the suffering taking shortcuts that are not desired by God, just to make out of suffering. Sundays woes This is a weeks reflection self and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that He was willing to suffer just for our humanity. By Therefore let us not forget that our lives have been saved and paid in full through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross in Hill of the Skull (Golgotha).

Church congregation that makes adult and Missionary

     Church congregation that makes adult and Missionary Growth church today is like mushrooms in the rainy season, in which growth so quickly even uncontrollable. This gives benefits where many people who called from the dark to in the light (of which do not yet know Jesus Christ become familiar with and believe), but is it really so?, lest the who already know" re-converted to Christianity" (meaning this is not a healthy growth but a split). 

     In I Corinthians 11 : 18.19 says: For the first I heard that if the you come together as a congregation , there are divisions among you, and things some extent I believe. Because of you must have split, so real Who among you who will be disqualified. The split is the root of all difficulties, whether caused by individuals, churches or congregations. On the other hand there is something that is not beneficial to the existence of divisions according to The Apostle Paul had heard about" disunity "in the Christian period it. The split did not build, but in certain limits is something that can not be avoided. The split is a the reality of Christianity which by itself gives the exam about obedience and faith of the people who have been summoned from darkness into the light of Jesus Christ. 

     The split on is essentially due to dissatisfaction, to gain a power / position, the inability to understand the Word of God right and true and many more reasons, so that one (congregation) separate themselves from others. This is one factor either inhibiting or arising from a church that does not make adult and missionary congregation or whether the community itself which no longer aware that he had been living in the light of Jesus Christ. An article by " Widi Artanto "with the topic" MISSION IN CRISIS " saying that: "The church then became the Church of the actual when the church was carrying out God 's mission in the middle of the world or where It became the Church Missionary Church. However, the concept and understanding about the nature of the Church and the Mission as well as how to be Church Missionary is not clear...In LPP RIP Synod was stated that purpose of fostering and cadre is that the Christian Church congregations Java and Java Christian Church Central Java became Missionary congregations. Diligent study of Scripture and Putting in the reality of our lives. 

     The church members diligently study the Bible and be able to realize them in life situations they are concrete, so they can recognize the will of God they must obey. It can therefore appreciate and bring in Faith. So the church can become a mature faith and church missionary, where the members of his faith and be able to appreciate turn into real actions (a blessing and a light for others). Faith is living up to the essentials, while the effort to realize the real action is a form of service to the Lord. Able and willing to serve not only on worship routine, but every adult member of the congregation and missionary must realize that he as a community (personal/institutional) being in this world not for himself but for the world , which is to serve God's plan of salvation for this world. Willing to Perform Duty as a message of God's call, willing and dare to participate in implementing the tasks that the Church calls not changed in all places and times throughout are: Witnessing, Realizing God's love in service and Achieve unity as Body of Christ and ecumenical vision. Active Participation in Social life, the missionary church members must be willing and dare to participate in a realistic, critical and creative in national development. The missionary church members realize that they are constantly obliged grow toward maturity and fullness in Christ and realize that as the people who were on the way (people exodus) they always moving forward. Believe in the fulness of the Kingdom of God, The compulsory missionary church members realize that the destiny of the church is a triumph of faith, fullness, and the coming of the Kingdom of God. Leaders who have the Active and Creative where church leaders should be aware of and felt as a devoted member and are called to always be a driving force in mobilizing and equip other church members understanding and doctrine...". 

     The Church can not guarantee the Church itself becomes a missionary, but to become a missionary church needed a concept or understanding. In crisis situations described above, understanding Church missionary contextually relevant and should be built with a reconstruction of understanding the Church's mission. A reconstruction presupposes the existence of a construction or old buildings that are not must be completely torn down and thrown away because there is no pointless. Building construction is still needed and long may used, but must be disassembled again. Similarly, the understanding mission of the Church's heritage of the past need to be reconstructed contextual understanding of the new mission. Understand the explanation above, then can be said that if the church becomes the church that adult and missionary as a result of the positive (good) from the efforts and hard work Church in building the church, it means very little cleavage in a church fellowship . Why the " division? " Could it be :

1. Congregation of less trained or train themselves in study the Bible and do it ?. 

2. The Church is less/no His faith in applying the real action ?.

3. Congregation to understand life this for themselves and closed to the outside world ?. 

4. The Church does not want to carry out duties as a person who has been calling saved by Jesus ?. 

5. The Church did not participate in life of the Nation and the Republic of Indonesia?. 

6. Congregation really immature in terms of mindset, attitude and faith?. 

7. Church less believe in the fulness of the Kingdom of God? Or could it be ? 

     CHURCH led by a leader who is not active, creative and a leaders who do not know the lead ?. The integrity of a communion of the Church is hope and something to be grasped, the occurrence of divisions within a fellowship of the church (institution) perhaps we as a leader less to position ourselves as leaders real or less gave themselves into the life of concrete church, so the church which is the sheep that actually should guarded and not united into a single one instead fragmented with the other. Do not be no more divisions among us.
