So, you believe in GOD ???

copied from a friend

An atheist professor of Philosophy was speaking to his class on the problem Scie...nce has with GOD. He asked one of his new Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From . . . GOD . . .

Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

By the way, that student is Albert Einstein! :)

please share if you have faith in God. God bless you. JC <3 U.

MENGAMPUNI DAN MELUPAKAN

 “Tuhan, sampai berapa kali aku harus mengampuni saudaraku jika ia berbuat dosa terhadap aku? Sampai tujuh kali?” Matius 18:21

Jika disuruh memilih antara mengampuni atau membalas kejahatan seseorang, ramai orang memilih melakukan pembalasan terhadap kejahatan yang dilakukan orang lain. Jika ini dilakukan oleh orang zaman sekarang, kita maklum. Namun bagi orang Kristen mengampuni adalah sebuah kewajipan bukan pilihan.

Mengapa demikian? Sesungguhnya oleh karana pengampunan Tuhan bagi kitalah yang memungkinkan kita dapat mengampuni orang lain. Tertulis demikian: “...dia tertikam oleh karena pemberontakan kita, dia diremukkan oleh karena kejahatan kita; ganjaran yang mendatangkan keselamatan bagi kita ditimpakan kepadanya,.. . Tuhan telah menimpakan kepadanya kejahatan kita sekalian.” (Yesaya 53:5-6). Hukuman dosa yang seharusnya kita tanggung telah dibayar penuh oleh Yesus Kristus di kayu salib. Murka Allah ditimpakan kepadaNya, Dialah yang menggantikan tempat kita. Darah Yesus membasuh dan menyucikan kita dari dosa.

Ketika ada kesalahan atau kejahatan dilakukan oleh pihak lain, kitalah yang harus berinisiatif terlebih dahulu untuk mengampuni mereka. Sebagaimana Allah di dalam Kristus Yesus telah mengampuni kita, hendaklah kita juga punya hati yang mau mengampuni kesalahan orang lain. “Segala kepahitan, kegeraman, kemarahan, pertikaian dan fitnah hendaklah dibuang dari antara kamu, demikian pula segala kejahatan. Tetapi hendaklah kamu ramah seorang terhadap yang lain, penuh kasih mesra dan saling mengampuni,” (Efesus 4:31-32a). Bagaimana kita boleh melakukannya? Pertama, kita harus memusatkan fikiran kita sepenuhnya kepada pengampunan yang telah Tuhan berikan bagi kita. Renungkan betapa besar rahmat yang sudah dilimpahkan Tuhan kepada kita seperti kata Daud, “Pujilah Tuhan, hai jiwaku, dan janganlah lupakan segala kebaikanNya! Dia yang mengampuni segala kesalahanmu,” (Mazmur 103:2-3a). Kedua, selesaikan dengan jujur semua kemarahan yang kita rasakan terhadap orang lain, lalu melupakannya. Memang tidak mudah! Namun Tuhan akan menolong.

Mengampuni tanpa melupakan itu seumpama kasih yang bersyarat, namanya bukan pengampunan !

Tuhan memberkati

Karakteristik Wanita Bijak

L to R: Me, Nea, Ninie, Ester, and Bro Lorence.
tiba2 ada ne ada Pria Sejati sorang brsma wanita-wanita bijak..heheh

Shalom...Shalom..kita bertemu lagi...

Huhu..lama dah tak update blog, kesibukan melanda, apakan dayaku..haishh Tak penting tu…. Its ok..nanti warp up everything...hehe kunun la. Sebenarnya, post kali ini hanya untuk berkongsi bahan sharing mini komsel malam tadi (9pm, 29th March 2011).

Di Kem Wanita Bijak Single 2010, banyak perkara yang saya telah belajar. 

Wanita Bijak adalah Murid Kristus, dan Mitra Pria.

Antara pelajaran sepanjang kem tersebut ialah karekteristik Wanita Bijak. Bahan sharing kali ini diilhamkan oleh Ginna Nastasie Lie. Sharing yang ringkas dan sangat memberkati.

Berikut adalah karakteristik dari wanita bijak:

1. Mencintai firman Tuhan

“Kata Maria: "Sesungguhnya aku ini adalah hamba Tuhan; jadilah padaku menurut perkataanmu itu." Lalu malaikat itu meninggalkan dia.” (Lukas 1:38)

Contohnya: Maria ibu Yesus dan juga Maria saudara Lazarus (Lukas 10:38-42).

2. Suka berdoa

“Bagi Dialah, yang dapat melakukan jauh lebih banyak dari pada yang kita doakan atau pikirkan, seperti yang ternyata dari kuasa yang bekerja di dalam kita” (Efesus 3:20)

Contohnya: Ratu Ester dan Hanna

3. Beriman

“Sebab aku teringat akan imanmu yang tulus ikhlas, yaitu iman yang pertama-tama hidup di dalam nenekmu Lois dan di dalam ibumu Eunike dan yang aku yakin hidup juga di dalam dirimu.” (2 Timotius 1:5)

Contohnya: Eunike dan Lois

4. Bertanggung Jawab

Ukuran kedewasaan seseorang itu dinilai dari tanggung jawab yang diambil nya.

comelnya org di tengah tu..sempat pula dia masuk..
miss u sis audrey..huhu 

Apakah penghalang-penghalang untuk menjadi wanita yang bijak?

1. Tidak mengetahui identitas sebagai wanita dihadapan Tuhan

“Demikian juga kamu, hai suami-suami, hiduplah bijaksana dengan isterimu, sebagai kaum yang lebih lemah! Hormatilah mereka sebagai teman pewaris dari kasih karunia, yaitu kehidupan, supaya doamu jangan terhalang.” (1 Petrus 3:7)

Jika seorang wanita tidak mengetahui identitasnya di hadapan Tuhan maka ia cenderung akan menjadi rencah diri (minder), suka membandingkan diri dengan orang lain, menghakimi orang lain yang mempunyai kelebihan, dan juga tidak memiliki kepercayaan diri.

2. Berpusat pada hal-hal lahiriah

Wanita yang berpusat pada hal-hal lahiriah adalah mereka yang mempunyai perhatian yang berlebihan terhadap penampilan luar. Mereka sangat bergantung pada barang-barang yang bermerek dan gagal mengembangkan kecantikan batiniah. Selain dari pada itu, wanita yang seperti ini suka berbicara untuk menarik perhatian orang lain.

3. Hidup dalam kesia-siaan

Tanda dari pada wanita yang hidup di dalam kesia-siaan adalah mereka cenderung tidak puas dengan apapun juga, suka gosip dan suka mengasihani diri sendiri.

Wanita Bijak...wowwww!!!

sampai bertemu di post yanga kan datang....

Tuhan memberkati.

A cross in my pocket

I carry a cross in my pocket
A simple reminder to me
Of the fact that I am a Christian
No matter where I may be.

This little cross is not magic
Nor is it a good luck charm
It isn't meant to protect me
From every physical harm.

It's not for identification
For all the world to see
It's simply an understanding
Between my Savior and me.

When I put my hand in my pocket
To bring out a coin or key
The cross is there to remind me
Of the price He paid for me.

It reminds me, too, to be thankful
For my blessings day by day
And to strive to serve Him better
In all that I do and say.

It's also a daily reminder
Of the peace and comfort I share
With all who know my master
And give themselves to His care.

So, I carry a cross in my pocket
Reminding no one but me
That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life
If only I'll let Him be.

thanks pat..4 the bookmark.. God bless u
