A Simple Notes About Love

"I love you"
Love, love and love. As someone says that "love is blind" I would like to say that actually the one who experienced it that is truly blind, not the love.
What is love? God is love.
It is very simple, straight forward, without any footnote, but surely will raise thousands of queries.
"I love her, is that the same as your statement that God is love?"

okay, okay, okay now can I ask you something first before that? When a man state "I love you" does that mean he loves her? Are you sure enough that actually the real sentence you want to address is not "I need you"?

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all thing.

Love never ends.

remember that passage?
It is not very wise for a man to say "I love you" to anybody. Surely now I realize that it is not a matter about how you heart beat when you meet her or how your feeling become weak when you hear her sound that will justify you to be in the right order to say that sentence.

Truly it is about duty I think. If God wants you to marry then go ahead, that is your part. If not then you should still go ahead but now to do another task to be done.
I truly admitted that when a man says "I love you" actually deep down in his heart the main cause is just that "I need you for me, me, me, me and me"
A selfish love, yes a selfish love often disguised as a true love.

How can I give true love? Only by getting it from the source.
Where? From God.

... (3)

A good news, euangelion, injil, kabar sukacita ...
Christmas is coming
The earth is busy with its tasks
Celebration is prepared
Street, building, house, school, even a dog house are decorated
Christmas tree, empty socks, wishes

They know nothing about Christmas. What they know is just celebration. It is not about how awesome is the decoration, not about how big is the present from your parents

Thx to God I am not from a rich family that can afford to celebrate Christmas as them. Just a simple kiss before sleep saying "Merry Christmas" is enough for a child like me. Hoping that a nice dream will I get after I close my eyes.

Christmas is the moment when a King of all nations become a man ... King of king become the very slave of the slave ...
How can we celebrate it with a "sale"?
Or maybe dont ever use the term Christmas for it, you are disgracing it actually.

Artikel dari blog lama (2)

This article was written when I was "tortured" for the first time about my faith in Christ... When I see that again, wew what a stupid boy I was

but again what a wonderful time when He revealed averything
=============================================

SHALOM!! Hi!! I want to write my idea about something that really make me thinking so much since last august… mmm probably May maybe… I will not write it in one article of course…I will write it in two or maybe more articles…since i don’t have much time in writing…^_^

I write it for all my friends in Jesus who believe in God (yes of course)…(for the one who do not?? well you can read it, but I don’t guarantee that you’ll be satisfied ^_^ coz I am writing this now not for debating but just release my idea about christianity and the relationship with "science", and other things.

First of all…I want to say that I believe that God who now I call Him Father in the name of Jesus, created this universe..He gives us the command and the Holy Spirit leads us to make all the created things in this world to be our tools to worship Him…so there are so many ways to do it.

Now I will tell you somehitng happened in May…(No relation with science at all I think) Since I was a kid I never ever asked whether the bible is true or not.. I was doctrined that bible is the words of God and I believed it…No one ever asked about my faith..no one ever tested me if my knowledge about God and the bible is bad or not…Mmmm probably you have to know that I was the winner of bible quiz in sunday school…so no one in my family and all people arround me doubt about my understanding about bible… Well, until my friend introduced me the novel about Da Vinci Code..He is not a believer…and i was a kinda confused with all the questions he asked me.. He asked me "Jesus married?" "Where was he before thirty?" "Why the bible doesn’t state that?" "So your bible is not consistent, right?" Wow.. actually I still can answer some of his question with my knowledge…but some of it?? I’ve never ever asked to my mom whether Jesus married or not…

What I know about it is if God want to save the earth so He must give the most pure and sinless lamb… So how come a sinless lamb feel "marriage"…I don’t think so.. So If Jesus did it…I tell you all Christian…Leave your religion!!! It is wasting time…you are not even free from your death…

So my answer is "I dont believe it" why?? Coz I know that it is true! "How can I know that it is true?" "The bible doesn’t say that Jesus and "Someone else" got married…"By the bible doesn’t even say that Jesus never married?"……Well for that question, I have to say that Jesus came to this earth not just to live as human. He came to save his chosen people…So what I believe..when Jesus was still physically in this earth, He brought the "euangelion", "the good news" to all people…And what was stated in the bible is true..further more? The author didn’t wrtie all of His doing…That’s normal…The Christians do not believe that bible is directly fell from the heaven.. It was written inspired by God…

"what am I saying?" "What is the connection between the mariage and all of things I’ve said?" I want to tell you that the bible is TRUE. And about the marriage…I want to say that is just a FICTION…created by "someone".

Well that is my first article…Mmm I will continue my article next time…. For some info, I tell you that I will write my idea about Bible, Science, Atheism…and mmm probably something else…HEHE God Bless U

Surely this world will fall

A: apa Tuhan mengampuni ku?

B: kenapa?

A: aku pendosa besar?

B: ??

A: aku merampok, membunuh, berzinah, pembohong besar ...

B: yang aku tahu, Tuhan itu akan mengampuni orang yang dengan hati hancur menghadap Dia... menyesalinya, bertobat, meninggalkan dosa itu, dan mengikut Dia ...

A: pernah aku melakukan itu kawan ...

B: lalu?

A: itu dulu sebelum aku mengulanginya lagi

B: sungguhkah kamu bertobat?

A: aku tidak tahu... aku menyesalinya, bertekad untuk tidak mengulangi, tapi jatuh kembali ...

B: sudah berperangkah kamu?

A: ...

B: sudah berharap penuhkah kamu? Apa yang kamu andalkan saat cobaan itu datang? Jangan berlagak kuat... kekuatan hanya dari Tuhan



Percakapan diatas mungkin anda tidak pernah alami. Anda pikir anda hidup baik-baik kok. Tidak membunuh. Bukan perampok. Tidak suka main sex. Bukan koruptor. Bukan penyumpah... apapun yang anda pikir "jelek", yang pasti anda bukanlah pelakunya


"Anda sudah berdosa dihadapan ALLAH!"
"enak aja lu. Siapa lu bisa bilang gw berdosa? Orang tua gw aja ga pernah bilang gitu."

Orang berdosa tidak suka dituduh berdosa. Koruptor yang ketauan korupsi aja masih mau naik banding di pengadilan... Apalagi dosa donk? "Dosa gw kan gw yang kerjain, lu kan ga liat" Dengan berpikir seperti itu susah sekali menyadarkan manusia bahwa dosa sudah melekat, dan bukan itu saja, bahkan sudah menjadi pola hidup sehari-hari

"hai saudara, kembali saya mau tanya. saya tidak melakukan yang buruk kok. Saya orang baik-baik. Bahkan saya suka membantu orang lagi. Apa-apaan saudara bilang saya berdosa?"
"Jadi anda berpikir anda tidak berdosa?"
"Ah, ga lah. Gw pernah kok berdosa... Tapi kan sekarnag gw dah tobat dan hidup baik-baik"

Konsep dosa sudah berubah menjadi suatu kegiatan secara temporal dan bukan secara eternal ...
Mereka sudah kehilangan kekekalan dalam hati mereka. Bahkan perbuatan baik lah yang mereka banggakan untuk menutup dosa.

"Apa saudara yakin setiap detik anda tidak berdosa?"
"Ah ya sekali-kali ada lah. Namanya juga manusia"

Manusia sudah identik dengan kesalahan. Kalau tidak salah maka bukan manusia. Ini bertolak belakang dengan apa yang menjadi nilai intrinsik manusia. Alkitab mengatakan bahwa manusia itu sangat amat baik diciptakan untuk menjadi wakil Allah. Kenapa malah jadi identik dengan si pembuat onar?

"Mau saya katakan baik-baik? Anda berdosa bukan karena anda pikir anda hidup tidak baik. Anda berdosa karena standard Tuhan lebih tinggi daripada standard anda! Bertobatlah! Percayalah pada injil"
