Course Enrollment
10 Reasons To Believe In The Christian Faith
Haha... that is the course i am enrolled too. It is cool. The course have 10 lesson each lesson talks about a reason and the exam so stress la. Need to really memorize if not you can't get full marks but so far through God's grace I took 4 exam and all got full marks and my current grade point average is maintained at 4.
Here's the course outline.
Lesson One : The Credibility of Its Founder
Lesson Two : The Reliability of Its Book, the Bible
Lesson Three: Its Explanations for Life
Lesson Four : Its Continuity with the Past
Lesson Five : Its Foundational Claim of Resurrection
Lesson Six : Its Power to Change Lives
Lesson Seven: Its Analysis of Human Nature
Lesson Eight : Its View of Human Achievement
Lesson Nine : Its Impact on Society
Lesson Ten : Its Offer of Salvation
Now I am currently reading very in-depth into the Lesson two to get better understanding. Let me get some interesting facts which are said in the course.
C.S. Lewis put it in his own memorable prose: The claims of Jesus indicate that He was a liar or a lunatic. Isn't this familiar. C.S Lewis wrote a book called Mere Christianity, he is trying to push away the idea that Jesus was just a moral Teacher but either he was God or He was some kind of lunatic. Jesus actually shows who he is more by what he does, than what He says. He lets His actions speak for whatever words he might have said.
Mark 4:37-41 describes on of the miracles as happening while the disciples were together with Jesus in a boat,crossing the sea of Galilee.
Whats more. All of use know that there are 66books in the bible but not everyone knows how many authors there is and written within how many years. But the course Goes through it.
Ok Let me reveal it. The books is written by some 40 human authors over a period of about 1,600 years. The 66books are broken down in to 1,189chapters and 31,173 verses 773,692 words and 3,566,480 letters.The bible tells us four perspective about God.
Perspective 1: God is Personal, Not a Force (Exodus 33:11)
He has a personal presence (Gen 3:8; Ex19:20; Mt3:17; Jn12:28)
He thinks with infinite intelligence (Isa 40:13-14)
He feels with a measureless capacity for emotion (Gen 6:6; Dt 29:20; Ps 111:4)
He loves (Jer 31:3; Jn 3:16; 1Jn 4:8)
He is personally watching over us.
He is personally thinking about us.
He is personally responds to what we say and think.
He has His own personal plans for us.
Perspective 2: God is Knowable, Not Just a mystery.
We can know God because we were created to know Him. According to the account of creation of man, God said, " Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness" (Gen 1:26).
Because God is knowable:
We can know what he loves.
We can know what he hates.
We can know what he wants us to be.
We can know what he wants us to avoid.
Perspective 3: God is Immeasurable, Not Just Knowable
Descibing God's immeasureable superiority to men, he wrote: "My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth so are My way higher than your ways,and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isa55:8-9)
God doesn't need anyone or anything.
God is beyond our complete comprehension.
God deserves our worship and praise.
God has the right to demand our obedience.
God has unlimited power to help us.
Perspective 4: God is Good, Not Just Powerful.
In Gen 1:31 the biblical record of His creation concludes with these words: "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good"
Because God is good, we can conclude that:
We can believe what He says to us.
We can have confidence in waiting for His rescue.
We can entrust our future to His care.
We can rely on His wisdom and guidance.
We can know that what He asks us to do is always the best for us.
Btw if you all feel all these are good you can request the notes from me.
Amen!!

Sin and Punishment4 "Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: " 'When men fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return? 5 Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return. 6 I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Each pursues his own course like a horse charging into battle. 7 Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the seift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD. 8 " 'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? 9 The wise will not be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have? 10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all the greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit . 11 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace, " they say when there is no peace.JEREMIAH 8:4-11

Love for Life
In bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 it says that, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." Isn't God great? He tell us and remind us in his words how love should be like. Although often we forget this points that we have to follow in your relationship, you blame each other for doing something wrong. God already said, Love keeps no record of wrong, so why must we blame each other? If we follow all these, our relationship will be lasting and God will bless us.
Everyone will have done something wrong before it is just how serious is it. Just have to tell yourself to forgive yourself and pray that others will forgive you too. When others wants to forgive you and you cannot forgive yourself what is the point? Jesus die on the cross more than 2000 years ago to cleanse our sins, if we dun forgive our sins then what is the purpose of God sending his only Son to die on the cross. Even the Almighty God can accept us and Love us why can't you love others and even yourself? God hates our sins but he still Love us. As long as you change and repent you should have forgive yourself.
How would you make sure that you will continue to follow the points got have give have in the area of love? Simply, seek God's word daily and he will reveal alot of things to you. Work towards God guidance today. Amen!
God bless all that is in a relationship.

New Year New Vision
We have sent away year 2006 and now we are into year 2007. My new vision for year 2007 is that I will be able to get the top 5% in school again. Secondly, in church I pray that I will enter a ministry by year 2007. I have been in church for almost one year, last time as a faithful servent of God serving various ministry in my past church, I want to serve God with the gifts he give me this time round. I also pray for new gift which is the gift of song composing. I really like music so much that my prayer is all about music. With the gift of song-composing I will use the gift mightily in the expansion of the kingdom of God.
Now as for my G12, my vision will be that we will moving together as a whole winning the souls out there. We will be each other encourager and we will be so revive each time we talk to each other. I pray that they will follow the teaching of God and be a good testimony. They will be remembering their family members and not always hanging late so often. For example, after hearts of fire on friday night, it is so late, they can just eat and go home straight and dun followship too long as they will be late home. I hope we will have our own G12 mission. We will care for the youth that is less fortunate than us and outreach to them. This year christmas I hope we can go to the ophanage or children home to outreach to them so they get a chance to hear about the good news like we once have receive.
Lastly, a happy new year ahead. God bless all of you... Amen!
