God who cares for all His creation

     Christians recognize and believe that God the Father Almighty as the Creator of heaven and earth. This belief is contained in the "Apostles' Creed" The first part states that: "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth." In recognition of this is contained within the meaning of a confession, that the world was created by God. In other words, God created this world and everything in it is because the purpose and plan of his own. Hence also, the universe in which human living environment is very important because it is in God's plan. 

     Christians also believe that the world and everything in it is owned by and belongs to God. On the other hand, because the world and everything in it belongs to God has been delivered to all mankind to be preserved, managed and cultivated properly and responsibly. In the Book of Genesis 1:26-31 reminds us again of mankind, that the handover to mankind, to be managed and cultivated human being does not mean arbitrarily make or act as they pleased against nature. Mankind who manipulate the universe by casually or with as they pleased was the style and attitude of people who do not believe in or responsible. In other words, this attitude is an attitude that does not appreciate that the Lord God is the creator of this universe. In Psalm 24:1-2 says: "God who owns the earth and everything in it and the world and contained. For he who based it upon the seas and enforce it upon the rivers." 

     It can be said, humans are destroying the universe is the human attitude that does not respect the duties and responsibilities entrusted to God to man to preserve, maintain and cultivate it properly and responsibly. We have heard even know the meaning of the word "exploitation", this word in it contains the meaning of the earth as the source of everything. In other words, the earth and everything made by human beings as objects to satisfy their needs. Efforts to meet this need by humans is that through the efforts of both traditional and modern and there is through manual and technology. The exploitation of natural resources that are not responsible can result in environmental pollution and damage to the total of God's creation of this nature. Environmental damage caused by the attitude of mankind is not responsible, then the age of this world will be shorter. "Global Warning" is a warning that must be addressed and observed by all mankind, since if a warning was not taken with a genuine concern, then the consequence is disaster-related natural disasters will befall human life. Therefore the spirit of conservation, processing or environmental management is good, loving environment and care about the environment should always be inherent in the self and human life every day. Man as God's representative on earth, was given the responsibility to cultivate the earth and everything in it as a creation and gift of God. As a gift of God's creation and the earth and all its contents must be maintained and managed well. Man should be a good manager and stylist, for the sake of continuity of life that exist in his creation of this nature. 

Man must make use of all natural resources wisely, well, moral and responsible.

Breast and Gynecology

     Who are human beings who exist under heaven who does not know about women breasts and her womb?. Both men and women are very familiar with and to know both these organs. We know together also that before a man born on this earth, he was conceived in the womb of a mother. Then after a man was born for one to two years he was nursing her mother through an organ is the breast. 

     This paper is not discussed at length about his sexuality, but want to examine what lies behind so that a woman at the time of the Lord Jesus said to the Lord Jesus that: "Blessed are mothers who had conceived you and milk that has been feeding you" (read in Luke 11:27.) Speech by a woman in the Lord Jesus who witnessed this in Luke 11:27, spoken or shouted out in a crowd. Readers and gentlemen, there is one question that: what is the animating this greeting?. Does this woman have a sense of wonder in the Lord Jesus Christ or whether the utterance is expressed only by coincidence or something that is not intentional?. Women who say it sits in the middle of the crowd who heard the sermon of the Lord Jesus. Apparently the people who heard the speech delivered by the Lord Jesus Christ through his preaching make many people amazed, pleased and proud of the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

     People are amazed by the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ that is still young, capable and authoritative. They were also amazed about how his sermon delivered in clear, firm and touching. They also impressed upon the power possessed by the Lord Jesus Christ who can perform miracles and make the surprise the people at that time. In the Gospel of Luke 11:14 says: "And the multitudes marveled." Similarly, the woman who was fascinated with the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ, so that the spontaneously exclaimed: "Blessed are mothers who had conceived you and milk that has been feeding you." This woman also indirectly not only admire the Lord Jesus Christ, but also other people he admired. 

     Who is the other person?. Another person who was admired by this lady is the mother of Jesus: Mary. In this woman's heart as if to say: "incredible that this young rabbi." This woman was as if asking: "Who is his mother?." For this woman would be happy if a mother has a child like this. This woman-owned admiration is something natural. 

     We also would agree to say that the success of a child, the kindness and competence is very much determined by the upbringing of a mother, a parent or level of education held the child. The woman who was admiring the Lord Jesus Christ so that say who say this is hard so many people even heard of the Lord Jesus. What opinions and reactions of the Lord Jesus Christ to hear this woman saying?. Usually when we hear a compliment then we will respond with the phrase: "thanks for the compliment.” But the Lord Jesus respond to this woman's speech by saying: "The blessed are those who hear the word of God and who maintain it" (verse 28). What does it mean these words the Lord Jesus Christ?. It turns out women or women who threw his admiration for the Lord Jesus also imagine dignity itself. What a happy woman who has a child like this. It is also possible to imagine that this woman: "really happy if I have a child like this." 

      Without realizing it he was narrowing her female identity, namely as a pregnant and breastfeeding. More narrow again when the size of a woman's happiness is measured from the case when she had children. The concept or idea of this woman is contrary to the concept of the Lord Jesus Christ that: "The blessed are those who hear the word of God and who maintain it." So we're happy not to have offspring, but if we hear and keep the word of God. We always focus on the aspects of our identity. 

     The focus is on the matter of gender or sex. We will be proud if we as a male or female. The man would be proud that he is male or female champion and would be proud if she was as feminine or life feminism. Measuring happiness is not located on the gender or sex. Measuring happiness is not because we are masculine or feminine, nor being married or not, have children or not. But the measure of happiness is if we do good and be a blessing to others as proof that we hear, conduct and preserve the word of God. 

"The blessed are those who hear the word of God and who maintain it." 

(Luke 11:27)

God works in the midst of disaster

     Human life is always faced with two options, namely the success and downfall. Not a single man under heaven who wants the suffering in this life, but want the joy and happiness. There is a story about a father who had suffered pain. The story is this: "In a small village there lived a humble family where a father in this family who is suffering ill family expectations, based on medical diagnosis he experienced pain" Heart ". In this village has no health facilities let alone a pharmacy or drug store, so that this child was ordered by the doctor who examined her father to go buy drugs in town. Then, without thinking of this child do what the doctor ordered for him. This child must pass through the plantations and several small forest to reach the city. When he arrived in town he bought medicine for her father. But the drug she'd taken mixed with other drugs where the drug would be toxic if consumed by her father. 

     Around three o'clock this child ran to return to the village, but in a forest when a child is running he fell and existing drugs in the bottle to treat his father fell and broke. This child is experiencing fear, disappointment and guilt over what he had just experienced. In the midst of these children fear to pray and ask the Father in heaven to cure his father. Around eight o'clock this child to his home, his face grim and fearful. The doctor asked the boy: "Where's the medicine that I ordered it?". This boy replied: "Sorry doctor drug fell and broke when I ran for home." The doctorreplied: "Let your father has been cured." Hearing the words of the doctor that her father has been recovering this child to be grateful and express thanks to God for His love that has been heard and answered her prayers when she fell in the middle of the jungle to bring drugs to his father. Humans are often confronted with the reality or the reality of life. 

     Does the fact it contains the success or failure, good or bad and even collapse. Fall may be in distress, disease or failure. Humans often think that God is only present in the midst of success. But God is also present in the fall of man. Why God is present in the middle of the Fall? God is present in the middle of the fall of man is to provide for the good of mankind, so God can bring good in the middle of the fall and human failure. Many people assume that the various realities and the reality of life in nature by humans is a destiny, in other words that it is wrong for us to assume that the fall had been destined by God. God works with us, when we work in him, but God will not work with us when we ourselves do not want to work in him. God did not ordained to us the downfall or disaster mankind. Fall is a consequence, the risk and the dynamics of everything we do. For Paul, that God can use the fall as one way for the good of our humanity. 

     It's wrong even if we assume that God only blesses those who experience success, prosperity and health. God also worked in the middle of the fall of man for the good of man himself. We as humans often only focus on the fall, without noticing that God is present in the middle of the fall of man. This situation is so that people mourned and wept over the fall which he naturally without thinking that God was good in the middle of designing the fall that happened to him. It is not easy for us to laugh in the middle of fall we are experiencing. Very long it takes to receive the collapse or failure. For me this is the mystery of human life, there is an understandable by humans but also there that can’t be understood by the human mind (Deuteronomy 29:29 says: "Things are hidden to the Lord, our God, but ..."). 

     Human life is a reality not a dream. Life is an adventure that can produce success or fall (failure). But we believe people should not fear and trembling that God is still present in the central reality of our lives. We always believe that God is always working with us. Hopefully this article useful to us and the Lord Jesus Christ bless.

Want to Share the Love To Be Salt And Light of the World

     Church Institutions and individual efforts are called to proclaim the mighty deeds of God is a task that must be accepted and obeyed. When we heed the call given by God to Abraham, then of the Christian community is where the soul meets his call. In which the church is the collection of the fellowship of believers called to be a blessing to the community or another human. This we read in Genesis 12:3 which says: "I will bless those who bless thee, and curse those who curse you, and ye all people on earth will be blessed." 

     In the Old Testament book, blessings always associated with wealth and happiness, which is also associated with the existence of a good relationship with God, so that something good happens in human life. For example, people who become God's chosen will produce the fruit of blessing of life. The fruit of blessing can we read in John 15:16 that says: "You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I have set you, so you can go and bear fruit, and your people were still ..." 

     Being a fruit is to be salt and light of the world it is also a witness, blessing and seeds. Divide love to be salt and light of the world encompasses several things, which among other things : to witness , be a blessing and a seed. Divide love to be a blessing is a good fruit , then the church in which the believers should continue to grow in faith to Jesus Christ. Things that must be observed by believers and churches among other things: 

1. Grow in spiritual life, meaning the church as an institution and as individuals should be more loving and being loved by the Lord God in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of the world. 

2. Grow in wisdom, meaning believers and the church must become more intelligent, wiser and more intelligent minds. 

3. Growing in social life, meaning believers or churches should be able to attend, actively participate and be productive in the midst of community development. 

4. Growing in facilities and infrastructure, meaning the church and believers must be able to develop existing sources of power to him either, funding and manpower. 

     This is done within the framework of kindness and responsibility. A blessing indeed requires a process and not directly happen. Being a blessing is not derived directly from heaven, but both the church as an institution of the church as individuals (believers) should continue to develop existing potential of her self. Hard work that must continue to be developed will provide the desired results which continue to be salt and light of the world.

Love : A possibility of life from God (Reflections on 1 Corinthians 13:1-13)

Love : A possibility of life from God 

Reflections on 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 

Church of God in Jesus Christ! 

1. Love is a path or a possibility of life comes from God! Without love, all we're looking for and we undertake no meaning! Without love, we are with all our abilities are nothing! So first of all expressed by the Apostle Paul in "Song of Love" in 1 Corinthians 13. 

2. What is said by the Apostle Paul with this statement?. 

     That man at the peak of their religious life, without love, all that useless as well! Everything that is aspired to and was being chased through the prayers of the religious man, worship and spiritual discipline...useless, if you were not there!
     That was said by the Apostle Paul to members of his congregation in the city of Corinth first. Indeed they are really religious, but inside it enthusiasm religious, in habits, they pray, worship, and train himself spiritually...they actually underestimate the reality of their daily lives, they care less what's really needed his brother, they became angry, if disturbed by people who ask for his help, they are not touched his heart to see others being treated unfairly, because maybe they felt from the beginning of human life it was so. And the Apostle Paul pointed out to them that it's everyday life; precisely the relations with your neighbor's need. There are the prayers and religious believers must be real, fruit, and a blessing! 

     What good is all the craft and devotion to pray, worship, and what point of all spiritual exercises are you doing, what's the point all the ideals of your religion, if in fact your life every day it does not taste, do not change, not a blessing, but Instead: 

1. You get angry to people who do not like you 2. You legal people who do not like you 

3. You're just happy with yourself 

4. You feel yourself more and you're jealous of someone more capable than you. 

     And now the apostle Paul to show others the way of life that the Corinthians, Which comes from God himself, that is the way of love. Street love is what must they live: 

1. And love is patient;

2. Love is benevolent (giving space to others);

3. Love is not jealous (while many of you, as religious people burnt by jealousy, spiritual);

4. Love is not boastful nor arrogant. Advanced Labih Apostle Paul declares that love is not rude and do not seek profit yourself, not angry and does not save people's mistakes. 

     With that, Paul also warns how religious people do things they should not do to fellow human beings - how religious people also like to look for its own benefit, just a subtle way, how many religious people happy to record and calculate sin the mistakes of others only. 

     And again the Apostle Paul says: Love is not possible to let other people were treated unfairly; you will that is always the truth that controls your life together. In contrast to what is like to be "religious people" that is expose someone else in his mistake, punish and beat up those who fall into sin and tends to throw them in hell, the Apostle Paul shows the path of love, where people know restraint in the face of all things, willing to trust others; always have hope, and endures all things. 

     Gentlemen what is said by the Apostle Paul told the believers in the church at Corinth, it also can be said to us today, in the natural reality of our lives in the country today: 

1. We are also religious people and a number are very diligent and persevering even religion; give much time to fix our relationship up.

2. But we also too often underestimate our neighbor ; not really pay attention to their needs; not give time for them .

3. We are too pleased with ourselves and we are too confused just take care of our own state of sheer.

4. We also really like recording of another person; punishing others; let others in their own fate. No less than the Corinthians first, we also need to have a road that brings us to love our neighbor who asked for our time, ask for our hearing, our hearts, our solidarity, and our responsibility is real! 
Brethren Church of God ! Back at the beginning of our reflections this: Love is a road, a possibility that God creates life now! Without love, all we're looking for and we undertake no meaning !
Without you, we with all our abilities are nothing! Let us live, the road indicated by the Apostle Paul. Roads that God creates human life as the emergency road originally willed by God himself for everyone to experience peace with prosperity! 
     Let us live this love that we live amid the reality in which many people lack everything and where too many human greed is rampant; where many people only find himself alone, also in religion; and where not a few people displaced and die because there is no love. To be in the middle of our life together was luminous light of eternal life, and the name of the Lord is glorified by all people in our country. 

Amen

Servanthood Lifestyle

     There are about sixty parables told by Jesus. All the stories themed lifestyle kingdom of God or the Kingdom of God. Context of the parable differently. Some wore the context of slave and master. It should be noted that this parable is not about servant or employer , but rather about the relationship between servants with their employers. Or rather, about the lifestyle in the relationship between servant and employer. Lifestyle that could be called lifestyle servanthood.Here are ten aspects of servanthood lifestyle drawn from a number of parables. 

1. Know Yourself 

     In the parable in Matthew 13:24-30 there is a good servant to identify problems and propose solutions Retort . They alleged that her employer had infiltrated the fields of wheat grass , and then they want to pull the thistles. Apparently his employer prohibits . Employer the right to determine policy. The servants must know yourself. This land is not theirs. They never ought to act as the owner or ruler . Also in the parable in Luke 14:16-24 is told about the slave master to run commands 100 % according to the instruction even though the order was altered. total compliance is described here or placing themselves under the will of the employer. He did not identify themselves or overestimate from an employer . Jesus said , " ... Behold a servant is not greater than his master ... " (John 13:16 ). 

2. Routine 

     Routine absolutely does not mean boring or static . Means a fixed routine and regular activities . If someone feels bored with his job, which is not his job but his attitude toward the job. In the parable in Luke 17:7-10 is told about a servant who every morning plowing and herding cattle , and every evening to cook and serve food for the employer. That routine , day after day , throughout the weeks and months. Here too there are dimensions to fatigue . Morning plowing the fields , keeping livestock in the valley of the afternoon and evening in the kitchen cooking. Here too there is a odd dimensions : Hijack want to, want to keep livestock, and cooking too. Then Jesus said, " It is so ye . If you 've done everything that was assigned to you, ye shall say: We are servants who are not handy , we're just doing what we should do. " ( Luke 17:10 ). 

3. No Drowsiness 

     Jesus often depict an employer who "Needles Super " alias "is rarely at home, likes to go " . The term used is " traveling overseas . " ( Matthew 25:14 ) or " off to a distant country " ( Luke 19:12 ) . The servant left . The servants were encouraged to act independently . The servants asked to effective, ie they can produce the best possible time and resources with as little as possible . Jesus praised the efficiency . He says , " Blessed are the servant , who found his master to do his duty , when his master was come " ( Luke 12:43 ) . He slit acts "eat , drink and get drunk "them ( Luke 12:45 ) and labeled them " wicked and lazy " ( Matthew 25:26). Jesus repeatedly emphasized that the servants were asked not to be sleepy. He says, "Blessed are the servants who found his master on guard when he comes" ( Luke 12:37 ). The word vigil is the translation of " gregoroumtas "meaning alert, awake or sleepy. 

4. Respect 

     In the parable with a total of more than a servant of the dynamics are both negative and positive. In Luke 12 : 45 depicted slaves hitting. In Matthew 20:1-16 happen envy. Conversely there are also stories where the slaves were high-minded and can appreciate his partner . In Matthew 25:14-30 was not recorded the existence of envy among my five talented and talented two . The employers also value them as equals. Neither the servant nor the talented five talented two , he said, " ... Come " ( Matthew 25:21 and 23 ). 

5. Honest 

     In Luke 19:11-27 there who had received the money to be made a capital Mina trade. Apparently he succeeded and got a huge profit , which is ten -fold. Actually he has a chance to profiteer some of that advantage . It turns out the entire profit was transferred to the employer . Nothing is pocketed . Jesus praised the honesty of it . He said: " ... Well done , my good servant ... " ( Luke 19:17 ). 

6. Clever 

     In contrast , in Luke 16:1-8 no servants who defraud their employers. He was sacked and then he was not honest with the debtor. IOU one hundred and fifty measures of oil changed. This is clearly detrimental to the employer. But strange. Servant 's even commendable. It says : "then the master praised the dishonest steward , because he had acted shrewdly " ( Luke 16:8 ). Why did Jesus praise him? Sitting like this case. A parable emphasizes only one truth, that is cunning. Which was praised by Jesus is cleverness . See paragraph 8 in which Jesus told the children of light for no less astute than the children of the world . But what is meant by Jesus who is not clever cunning , because he also once said, " Be ye wise as serpents and harmless as doves " ( Matthew 10:16 ) . Not a smart home , but also sincere. Not true origin , but also smart. Ingenuity and heartfelt sincerity that clever. 

7. Commitment 

     This implies the parables of devotion. A servant is sensitive and responsive to the needs of employers, including small business though . No task is too low and insignificant in the eyes of a servant . Jesus said , " ... Well done , O my servant good and faithful servant , thou hast been faithful in small matters , I will give you a great responsibility in case ... " ( Matthew 25:21 ) . From a single servant also demanded loyalty . Jesus said , " A servant can not serve two masters ... " ( Luke 16:13 ). 

8. Fair and Empathy 

9. Not Right 

10. Look forward

Friendship in the context of Job 4:1-21

Friendship in the context of Job 4:1-21 

     A good friend is someone who not only became friends in the happy situation , but also a sincere friend in an atmosphere of mourning . A good friend is someone who can not only hear the complaints his friend, but also who feel motivated to convey expressions that do not just entertain his friends, but also pushing for the purpose reawaken the hope which vanished. 

     Eliphaz ( 4:1-21 ) is a man who wanted to show his role as the friend of Job, and therefore offered to share their opinions of what is experienced by Job. According to the testimony of Eliphaz , Job , in his role as head of a family and a servant of God , he has shown exemplary in carrying out its functions , which he not only working and welfare families , but also have shown much less responsibility to serve every person residing in the scrimmage . He not only teaches , but also gave a boost in morale for those who struggle so they still have hope in God . Job not only serve those who are lucky and be glad , but also particularly those who load . 

     Observing that while the struggle experienced by Job, not the words that bring comfort and peace of mind that is conveyed by friends was Eliphaz . Eliphaz express a view and opinion that the appointment of his own understanding , which, in turn , think that just add to the burden on the struggles of Job. From one side of this argument is understandable , because God in His authority wants people to live holy before Him. But in the context of Job's experience was seen as an expression statement is judgmental and discredit Job 're struggling. 

     Lion of God's creation is the animal known as a wild beast, also known as the king of the jungle . By all appearances , the lion is also used as a symbol to illustrate the existence of a power , the power and authority. But have we ever heard the story about a cat fool a lion just to get food? Thus the illustration was also used to describe the strength and the limited human effort . Man can do whatever it takes to sustain life, but he can not surpass the power of God let alone power . Property , wealth and position is just the gift of God simply because people believe it should receive it in gratitude and respect only to God as the giver of blessing. In our lives , we often experience a variety of issues , struggles and suffering. 

     In these circumstances we desperately needed a collective effort to preserve the true friendship which can only be created from an effort to build communication with each other especially when someone is stricken with the burden of life. This awareness needs to always grow in understanding of the faithful, so that as human beings who distanced themselves on being arrogant , self-assertive and self-centered efforts . but as the man who was always conscious of his weakness he will always try to humble themselves before God while maintaining friendships with others in life that help one another and turn on one another.

Light of Heaven or the power of darkness

Have you heard of a shaman who treat patients by using the Bible, crucifix and other Christian symbols?. Maybe ever so we could get stuck to get involved and then come to believe that the reason the shaman a shaman is using the Bible and other Christian attributes, but we unknowingly manipulated by the shaman is the power of darkness. There are incantations, prayers, offerings, white water and others that led to the syncretism that we stumble on the trust of white shamans or other gods.Is a Christian family we have a sensitivity of spirit to be able to assess and distinguish the work which the Spirit of God and where the working spirit / power of darkness.It should be recognized at the time of the apostle Paul's ministry there are evil spirits in the form of spell / sorcery that affect the spiritual life of God's people. But no matter how big and strong that power will never be able to resist the magic power of God.This brief reflection papers or to remind us to remain consistent, loyal and obedient even cling to the faith. Whatever the problems and temptations that we face do not ever let yourself get involved in evil spirits, devils and demons, etc.. Because this will result in our polluted and His power will be our doubts in this life. Learn to become a Christian family who just want to entrust this life in his power. So after all our lives if we rely on God's power is his promise to defend and be with us who rely on God. Amen

Enabling the People of God Him Overcome Any Problem (I Corinthians 6:1-7)

My brothers ...

    As long has the money and can afford to pay something, definitely will get what they want. So that the impact many people trapped in the court and make some people a negative view of world justice. Therefore Paul says if any one of you who disagree with others, so do not find a solution to people who are not true, but look for the saints to complete. What is meant by the people who are not true here are the people whose lives have not been faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ, not immoral and did not do good, but often not wise to insult and oppress Christians. Even denying the power of the Lord Jesus and His presence will sue and prosecute human. My brothers ...  

    In fact that people who live only selfish, family, hobby itself, the work itself, etc.. What if the ends contemplated only lead to pleasure themselves and for themselves so that there are matters such as disputes, fights, physical fights, quarrels regarded as common. But in paragraph 3 says that should not affirm ordinary matters in our daily lives, which meant in this verse that the lives of believers (church) in Corinth faced with a matter of life where the church has become damaged due to the atmosphere of strife, sue-sue each other. More severe problems that occurred in the church instead diverted to the settlement of outsiders who have not believed. 

My brothers ...  

Currently we are competing with advances in technology and science so that we are often dealing with the logic that often conflict with the Word of God. Human wisdom through science and technology is often controlled the decision, even a sad there are people who dragged the greatness and praise yourself, so forget the Lord God in making decisions. "Is there not one among you is wise who can take care of matters from his brother?". Apparently the Corinthian brothers who believe in seeking justice because there are some people who are still influenced by their habit, they boast of their spiritual and material. So in worship frequent noise, because they expect as Christians will be free from slavery and in their worship as a fellow who wanted to be treated equal, but in fact not the case, that's because conflict. 

My brothers .... 

From time to time until the modern era even today many ways people treat the followers of the Lord Jesus is by: humiliate, tortured, humiliated, persecuted, even killed, but the world view that this is something that is mediocre. In many countries not a few people who are victims of injustice because of faith in God Jesus. They are willing to live a life in prison, suffered disability because of being tortured, children who have lost their parents due to be killed, etc.. The Apostle Paul said, "Why do you not like to suffer injustice?", "Why do ye not rather suffer?" the point why you do not want to sacrifice for the Church of Jesus Christ goodness ?. Loyalty someone to the Lord Jesus and the purity faith will prove where the person is willing to be faithful to the end of his life. Requires faith and belief to do anything to defend the faith and belief. It must be realized that there is no belief that just as surely as belief in the Lord Jesus and no expectations equal to the beauty of hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. So do not hesitate because there is no certainty of life.  

My brothers ...

      We must remember that: 

1. Denial of the power of the Lord Jesus and His presence as a fair judge is a sin. Therefore came to the saints in the sense of people who believe in the Lord Jesus, who was given wisdom so that they may solve persolan with the wise and prudent. Because it is not always success must be paid by way of compromise with sin.  

2. Paul reminds the saints to not be easily deceived and jatu in sin. Because it was necessary sincerity and cooperation among Christian friends. No time anymore for every Christian selfish. Thus we also present, if a job-any job in order to service, that work was not possible to be alone, so need help and a loving helping hand from fellow brethren.

3. Christians who have the wisdom and knowledge must not be lost and there will be no conflict would even be happy because all decisions in life comes from Him. 

4. Currently we are the ones who survive and be faithful until death, we will be blessed with the crown of life. So do not be afraid to lose their lives because the Lord Jesus, because we'll get it back, let alone suffer from injustice. Only the Lord Jesus the true source of justice and only He is the real victory. God always keep and bless us. Amen

The surely my brothers actions taken let alone have the status as people are saved through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus in Cross, the action to be taken is the action in the light Faith in Him and not the actions that will make us more sinful . 

Brethren and sisters in Jesus Christ ... 
     Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the faith that brings we live in victory rather than a disaster, although we have any heavy suffering for Jesus Christ to design and Peace Prosperity for the people who loved him , not death or catastrophe . Never again Jesus " crucified again " because of the sins us. In Matthew 8:17 says : " ... He took weaknesses we and our diseases . " Jesus Christ is not in the sense of weakness and disease move us into Himself, but Jesus Christ is the outcry. Thus civil my brother ... not because of the suffering that we experience despair , lost hope, lost common sense and even lost FAITH so do things outside the light of the Word of God .

Sacrament of Holy Communion in remembrance of Christ

     Commemoration of the Holy Communion Church , followed by all citizens who have confirmed as a church full / complete ( especially in the scope of services of the Church CE Church in Minahasa ) . This is a reflection reflection towards the understanding of Christian theology concerning the Sacrament of Communion Holy As Warning Will Christ as seen by the congregation , in Special church " Immanuel " in the village - Wawunian Airbanua GABATA Region. 

     Warning Holy Communion is the sacrament of the Church not only be lived or a focused on the activities of Worship or Serimonial or just inherent in the habit of eating bread and drinking wine , but an expression gratitude for the safety of the people believe he gained through Lord Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross . 

     In life and church services specifically Evangelical Church in Minahasa , where church people who want to take part in the memorial Supper Ghost is an adult citizen or a church that has been categorized as citizens FILLED CHURCH ( Church Fully interpreted as intact or round) . Church people who have been confirmed as the " Church Full " is church people who have received instruction, comprehension and understanding the right of a God who works in the Lord Jesus Christ who gives salvation to mankind , even those that until now works through the Holy Spirit . End of teaching, understanding and the correct understanding as a process that is obtained and received TEACHING catechism through which there is a recognition, understanding and answers that God the Father in the Lord Jesus Christ that is currently work for us through the Holy Spirit . 

     Recognition , understanding and answers spoken by every member of the church ( Church of Full ) is as a response that has very deep meaning that everyone believe , much less has been entered in the category ' management of the Church " and called called to be witnesses of truth as manifestation of a " Salt and Light of the World " where he went and located. Village Airbanua - Wawunian Emmanuel Church especially the phenomenon and found there Another habit like church people who have logged in Category "The church full " , ie there are permitted to take part in activities Warnings Holy Communion but also there are not allowed although once again been crowned as " The Church Fully . " This reality illustrates that not all members of the " Church Full " follow the Lord's Supper as Sacraments , and Commemoration of Christ . It turns out that problems encountered is that they are " Not Married Official " which until now has not permitted to attend or take part in the Commemoration Holy Communion . 

     Every citizen of the church let alone one who has confirmed as the " Church Full " has a role in various forms of service Church. In other words the essence of church people who have confirmed as the " Church Full " is the attitude of a pro -active and not passive against various forms of ecclesiastical activities , especially the Sacrament of Communion Warnings would be holy as Christ gave His life for our humanity and to the world as a whole . Warning Sacrament of Holy Communion is also symbolizes the life of communion Church (read in I Corinthians 10:16 ) or the unity of the church both in terms of present and future in anticipation of Christ 's coming ( eschatological : the future hope of salvation ) . 

     Thus can be said that the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper does not lie solely on activities or serimonial church ceremony but also have meaning and the meaning of fellowship , togetherness and oneness as a church who testified , fellowship and serve . By understanding some thinking in this reflection it can be said that Church members were called in full communion , unity and togetherness as community of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ . existing reality in the Church " Emmanuel " Wawunian where there is a church that should not be Warning of the Lord's Supper followed by " Not Married Official " , for whoever the author has become " The Church Full " should take part in Holy Communion. 

     In this case the church is not in order legalize those who are not legally married , but in principle the Church is called to follow the full and perform the sacraments church. What does " The Church Full " if later after a new marriage The Sacraments of the Church to follow them Holy Communion. Matter married or not is a matter between the individual human being with human , but also as a reflection of trust in the Lord . Lord Jesus Christ invites every congregation to become the Lord's Supper in remembrance of Him.

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).
