Brothers in Christ

Discussion

2009-10-09T19:36:00.000-07:00

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.

Pray 4 Us

2009-05-21T20:35:00.000-07:00

This is God's desire for you/me as you want to carry His cross or burdens of others and follow Him everyday.

So please remember us (Thailand Team) in your prayer so that we might accomplish what God want us to do to the people in Thailand.

Prayer Request:
Unity
Love
Faithful
Financial Needs

Thank you Lord

2009-05-05T01:52:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-24T00:57:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-17T02:25:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-06T21:10:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

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.

Hair Cut

2009-03-13T22:33:00.000-07:00

Today I just finish cut Kalvin and Alvin's hair outside Kalvin's house and come back to the library to check my blog. This is one of my talent God has given me to use or to share with the people who are in need like that. I really enjoy it if someone ask me to cut his hair. When I still in Chuuk, this is what I also did. Many old men or boys came to me with the same reason to cut their hair. And when I was here, this is the same thing I should do over here in PIBC. I think all of the boys I mean men in the dorm I have been cut their hair including our housefather (Hiop) and one of our staff here in campus (Hartmut). God has given me this talent so that I can use it to those who are need a short hair and especially I can use it to glorify His name. This is the purpose of why God give me this talent.

The question I want to ask you is that what kind of talent God has given you to use it to glorify Him? Are you use it to glorify His name? If don't you, I will encourage to use it in a way that God will be glorify through it. We know that there are different kind of talent God has given to each one of you/me to use it in a way He could be glorify. I also believe that there is a different kind of talent God has given us to use it to bring others closer to Him and to know Him very well. I hope that those talents God has given to you/me should use it in a appropriate way God want it to be. Don't be like the third man in the book of (Matthew 25), he didn't used his talent to make more money, but he just took it and went to hid it in the ground. I hope that we should not be like this man. He misused his talent from his master and what it happened to him the master says, throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Thank you I will continue later cause it already times up. God bless you.

A New Hallelujah DVD

2009-03-13T00:24:00.001-07:00

My reading

2009-03-04T00:09:00.000-08:00

One time when I stayed in my room and read one of my book, I came across to the page where it talk about Judas Iscariot when he was dipping the bread with the same cup that Jesus used. When I was stop reading, something came into my mind and I was kind of questioning why it was happening. We know that God want all the people to be save. He made the things according to His will. So my question is that did God set up this situation to be happened that Judas will betrayed the son of man or put him (Jesus) in the hands of the sinners? If it was true, why did the Bible says that God want all the people to be save? It means that He just love others and not love Judas? Why did some people did some bad thing in their lives and He still gave them opportunity to repent, but Judas He did not? It means that God show favoritism? Why He made Judas to followed Jesus and then picked him to be betrayed Jesus? Why He didn't picked someone from the nonbeliever because their lives were meaningless? What I mean here is that their lives were still death because they didn't have received Christ as their Lord and Savior yet.

Second question, did Judas saved? or Did Judas surely accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior? Back to Ethics class this is what I learn in Ethics. If someone become a Christian and then he/she sin against God or committed suicide in their lives they still be save. Throughout my research on Christian view about save, some theologian says that the time you receive Christ as your Lord and Savior at the same time your live is in God's hands. They also point out that there is no one can take it out from His hands (John 10:28). When I was on this page I was kind of confus because I am trying to match what I have learn in Ethics to what I read from the life of Judas and I really don't understand why Judas has that kind of feelings or willingness to betrayed the Lord. Who knows if Judas not really committed his life to Christ when he was still with him? Maybe that's why it was easy for him to betrayed Jesus.

Working day

2009-03-02T02:34:00.000-08:00

Today I was kind of tire because I was work hard to keep my place be clean which is PIBC Campus. After finished work I came back to the library and study for my TEST tomorrow in Intro to Education (Kathy Newell). When I was study there was a thing bothering my mind which is another one assignment online (Hartmud Scherer). I just stop studying and went to sign in. While I was open it, there was a question I realize that I didn't answer yet. Then, I go through it and answer it. When I'm still writing I look up to the clock and notice that it was almost times up. So I just finish it and log out.

Waioooooh

2009-02-26T02:10:00.000-08:00

I remember last night when we did our devotion because there was a song that gave me a big question as I thought about it. That song says who am I that a King will plead and die for? When I think about it it seems like many people still think that the coming of the Lord is still far. What kind of lives are these? May be they know it, but not accept it. They heard it, but not prepare for it. Last week I was doing my assignment on line and I came across to the story of Noah when he warned the people that there was a thing not yet seen and the people didn't obey and listen to him. When the thing was came they will be die and no one didn't have time to repent. May the people in this time not to be like the people in Noah's time. They know it, but not accept it. They heard it, but not prepare to it. They do whatever they want to do and when it come there is no chance. May the heart of people be change and receptive to what they hear from the word of God.

Hiking time

2008-11-23T21:39:00.000-08:00

I was happy to announced something going on last Sunday evening at the beach closing to Two Lovers Point. Yesterday our class in evangelism went to hike at the beach. When we arrived there, we started our ministry of the word of God in prayer and then we started to hiking. It was really beautiful beach surrounded by the big rock. I was amazed of some our staffs and faculty who were came with us because they were really strong in hiking. We arrived there at 3: 14 and we came back to PIBC at around 7 something. We were so thankful to God for His guidance and protection upon us cause no one was having injured or a trouble in our hiking. Everybody will be fine until we went back to PIBC. We believed that Jesus was with us and guide us until we came back. Some of the students were willing to take their pictures in every places they wanted especially when they were swam in the water. Hiking in every places is one of my favorite thing to do here on Guam. The most my interesting hiking is on the mountain.
