if you happen to talk me to before...
ilove using the word "define" towards the things that iduno/things iwish to know more in detail...

my heart was feeling burdened these days after reading/witnessing/seeing/listening to the issues that were/are so messed up/in chaos in the world that im living in...
here comes my question of the day?

how does the line of -'define CHURCH' sound like to you?

a place for Christians to go on sunday?
a place that for you to talk to your friends?
a place for you to hang out?

iwent to church today and somehow the speaker really amazed me with his message...
for some reason,ifelt words of God spoke to me thru His servant...
thanks Dr.Doug Martin...=)
(love his compassionate expression of sharing message..)

let me define the word "CHURCH".....

C-Christ
H-Holy Spirit
U-Unity
R-Reconciliation
C-Compassion
H-Heaven

so wonderful,isnt it?
No doubt,Christ is alwaz the head of the church...=)
And God did give us Holy Spirit after the death of Jesus so that we will be able to keep on the faith walk with Him....
Therefore, Christians are called to be united and we dun stop meeting each other because we are called to do so until the 2nd coming of Christ...

The crucifixion of Christ on the cross had shown the solid example that God ultimately wanted to reconcil with us...He had given us the most precious gift He could so that we could be saved....
Compassion?when you have Christ in your life,the holy spirit will work in you and you are ought to share the gospel with others compassionately for this is the great commission that we,as the followers of Christ need to do so until the day we return to heaven....

Heaven is the only eternal home that we are needed to be constantly reminded...
ilike the following verses a lot:

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.'1 John 2:15-17'

as the summary of above,ithink the following verses fit in a lot for it somehow really reflect the faith that we ought to have:

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.'2 Corinthians 4:16-18'

ileave the rest in your own thought....

song of the day-->In Christ alone

p/s:Define the feeling in you after you read if you wish to share with me..=)
