Discussion

Last night my friends and I were discussing about if someone became a Christian and then later on he or she ended up in committing suicide....Did he or she save or not?

Wow.....we were on different views that night. Some question had been mention from us was that....Did suicide sin or not? Did God happy to allow the Christian commit suicide? Is it possible that Christian had that kind of thought right after they receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior?

One mention that if a Christian commit suicide, absolutely he or she will not save. They absolutely lose their salvation because they took God's responsibility which is God is the one who give and take the life. Another one said that they would not save because it was sin. And the other one said that if they were not save what does it mean when Jesus said, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand (John 10:28). He also came up with the great illustration like if a Christian commit suicide and while he or she still hanging on, and then, let us says that its about only 1second before it reach 60seconds he/she will die and in that about 1second his/her heart change again but its not enough to express their forgiveness in their mouth or in a word because it about only 1second left. Looking into this illustration, for us human being we might think that he/she will not save because they don't have a chance to forgive but with God, He knows their heart and He knows that there's no enough time.

Okay I hope it will help us to think about this.

Thank you Lord

Lord thank you so much for your faithfulness upon me. It is not my power that I can still alive until now. It is not my power that I could finish this semester but because your "great love" upon me that is why all these things are going well to me. Thank you for my life you still given to me from the time I was bore until now.

PIBC DAYS

PIBC DAYS THEME (1 Timothy 4:12) Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. What a beautiful color a group of Agape chose to be? If we look at our group we can see what this word "Agape" means. Agape means love. The Bible predicted that God has shown his love for us through the life of His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ). It also tells us in the book of John 15:12 that Jesus (himself) says my command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. In Mark 12:30 it says, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. As what Eric Sorenson says in his sermon that love is the most important among the others (Speech, Life, Purity, and Faith). What do you think when you see a different colors of people, or different cultures of people gathering together as a group? This picture really encourage me that through the "Love," people are able to get together as a friends or brothers and sisters in Christ.

Assignment

Now I am doing my assignment online and hurry to finish it before my brother come to pick me up to go and practicing our song for Sunday service. I spending most of this day doing my assignment cause I don't think I have a time for tomorrow to do my assignment because of the Thailand fundraising (car wash) at Lutheran church. I hope that those who didn't have schedule for tomorrow will come and help us through our car wash. Thank you and see you later on.

Thank you Lord

As I realize that my birth day is approaching, I would like to say my word of thanks to our heavenly Father for another one year of my life He still open it to me. Even though I'm not yet reach the date, but I already enter in this month. Thank you and may you fill that day with the pure heart and joyful of my life.

Spiritual Emphasis

It is good to have community in PIBC because it bring more unity between students to students, islands to islands (cultures), and especially between students, staffs and faculties. Last year PIBC family school went to the military base to celebrate their spiritual emphasis there. It was a good time for the staffs and students to got together and having conversation or fun with each other and especially to feed them with the spiritual food. As we look at this picture we can see how unity are the students with their staffs. All of them were got together along with under one tend. They sing a song and praise the Lord for the great opportunity He has given to them. The sun will reflect it sunshine and we are able to see each other. Praise be to the Lord our God. This morning we sang a song and Meluat, Hedrick, and Leeman were lead us with the playing guidar.



After we finished our morning fellowship Joe and Luke were enjoying singing during our free time. Now it is very sad to me when I am posting this picture because I really miss him anymore. He already finish PIBC last semester Fall 2008. I hope that even though he is not here with us any more and we hope and pray that his spiritual life will still continue in his walk with the Lord.











To those who come after these two lady Sharon and My-umi, may be you don't have idea to know them because they already finish PIBC last semester too. Sharon is now in chuuk and Myumi is still here on Guam and she is working at Faith Church. They are good in singing when they still here at PIBC. Some time when they sing in the chapel, we were amzed at them because their voice was really good.
