Today after work, I left with Yenni & Andrew Chan (Yenni's boyfriend) to War Memorial. I love spending time with the both of them, they give me great insight to wisdom & thinking.
Andrew asked this question to me,
"Are you a refugee or a soldier ?"
I thought.. what on earth are you talking about ?
We went into war memorial & we looked at the battle of Gallipoli & World war 1, until we moved on to the Hall of Valour.. Interestingly there are Soldiers that are looked upon greatly for the bravery & courage.. & Andrew Chan was like "Wow, these people are all recognised for their bravery for what they did for their country"
& as he looked around he said "Don't you think it's inspiring, because they didn't sit around waiting & doing nothing to earn their medals. They had to put their life on the line"
This is what he meant to his first question.
Christians are either Refugees or Christians are Soldiers, what are you ?
Refugees, Sit around & wait.. They wait until they are saved, until someone comes to pick them up
Soldiers, are fighting the battles, Sowing the seeds, working the fields & even picking up the refugees
Andrew Chan said "Me & TK had the same conversation yesterday, He said that there are too many Refugees TOO many Christians waiting & sitting around but then their are the Soldiers fighting the battles, fighting the spiritual warfares.
& maybe it's because the Refugees don't see the spiritual warfares even if the Soldiers do."

The Life Of Jesus
Yehee, it was long (...it was only liek 1.5 hours though....) but a good watch. I highly recommend watching the Life of Jesus!! Ask Andrew if u want to borrow his cos I reckon its a good watch. Esp if ur too lazy to introduce Jesus to a non-christian friend.
Funny cos my friend was asking the night before how I could believe in the bible and the gospels even though she thinks its all so far-fetched and there's no actual proof of anything in teh bible and theres all this sciencey stuff I don't understand which seems to disprove God. THe DVD doesn't explain it all but a least it gives me a few answeres out of the hundren million questions my pagan friends have.
It's so important to be able to answer your friends when they ask some quite challenging questions. It says in 1 Peter 3:15 we are to give reason for our hope. It's prety simple right? U don't need the leader of the early church to tell us that we should be able to explain why we believe. It's reasonable to ask for an explaination for our faith and it would be unreasonable to refuse. But 1 Peter 3 contuines we have to do this with gentleness and respect and the suffereing we experience for believing is for hte glory of God. It's not harassment if I ask why Seb likes korean dramas or why Nate won't get a haircut. It's just normal :P If my brothers can give a defence to their hobbies or hairstyle choice, how much more should we be motivated to defend and explain our salavation to others?
In a book I used to owned (if you know where my Case for Christ/Faith ... I forgot which one it is... you can read it but tell me you have it ;) , it was a story on our a journo who wasn't a christian but researched everything and interviewed a pastor and in the end becomes Jesus-hugger ^^ (well I think that was that book... could have been another or jsut my imagination). Who knows? Even If you don't have answers, God might spur your friends on to find answers through urself or other ppl and open their heart :D
I like this song too :D but i couldnt find any youtube videos so I have to perform copyright sucicde and put up my own video ^^ Not so good. Rushly made

*silence*/finale!
Wow. Just... wow.
For those people who ended up going to Call+Response, did anyone else just feel like staring at the screen after the movie ended, just not knowing what to do?
I feel really convicted to do something. I can't just sit here and have all that knowledge and just carry on the way I've been living. What they said about the food we eat and the clothes we wear really struck home for me. Even though it's a lot more expensive (but probably not any better for you), I've decided that I'm going to stop buying Milo and drink fair trade stuff instead. I'm also going to try to buy fair trade stuff instead of regular stuff. This is gonna be hard. But Dot and I are going to the ANU food co-op shop which sells fair trade food and other stuff. We'll check it out and tell you guys about it on Sat!
Speaking of which:
9am Church for prayer <-- this is essential! We can't do anything without God being there, so we should acknowledge this and ask Him for His blessing and for His will to be done in everything we do. Please be praying for it NOW too!
Then heading to Mawson (Southlands Shopping Centre?) for some Christmas joy! We need people to make some signs to put up (Son's bringing cardboard & Von's bringing textas) and then to help with:
3:30pm Von/Dot's house for Tehillah finale (see Son's email for more details). We'll have food for dinner but bring snacks/sugar if you want it. And drinks! :)
9pm Home time! Hopefully. We won't run as late as midnight, like last time... :$

Xcitement Burning !
Moments away from NTE
Hours ticking down
The moment stops for a few seconds
Time slows & it's taking forever
The adrenaline is still pumping in my veins
Poised in the distance
Ready to move
The Door bell rings
& We're going 100 Miles a second
Moving down, lifting quick
Everything flying off here & there
We're Running towards it
Moving away but moving forward
We're here
Its Time
Time for Silence
Stillness
Everything is calm
As the deer pants for the water
Everything is Silent
Emptiness
Prayer is needed
Seek & you'll find
Knock & the door will be open
Ask & you'll receive
His Holy Spirit
It's here It's Now
It begins *Lights Shining in Glory*
Can't wait for Mission! Cause it's like telling people you don't know about Christ
& seeing them touched by our presence, just a small moment in their life - a light is shone upon us, a light that reflects Jesus in us
after this Mission can't wait till Mawson =P
If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
