Time to Believe, Time to Repent...

By -
Last Thursday, while we were on our way to fetch my sister to tuition, my cute little cousin followed us. He, his elder sister and I were sitting at the back seats of my family van. There was this car cigarette lighter at the side of the seat. I used to show it to my little cousin but it wasn't hot that time.

His sister who is only 6 years old, push the lighter in and it was on! I happened to saw that, quickly enough to pull it off and warned his sister. I pull it out and put it under the air-cond to cool it.

I warned his sister:" DO YOU KNOW THIS IS HOT? DON'T PUSH IT IN NEXT TIME, TRY TO TOUCH THIS THING! YOU WANT?!" She shook her head. However, my little cousin doesn't believe it. He kept coming and literally crawling over me to touch it. He burnt his cute little finger. Since that very moment, he stopped yelling and climbing here and there in the van and sat there quietly.

I asked him:"HOT OR NOT?! WANNA PLAY AGAIN?! I TOLD YOU IT'S HOT RIGHT?! NEXT TIME DON'T PLAY WITH IT KAY?" He shook then nodded his head.

You see, when people tell us something is dangerous, something we were so confident of, we tend to close our heart and ears to listen to other's experiences. We don't believe.

However, once we encounter the danger and the suffer, only then we repent and believe, but don't you think it's a bit late? If we could have listen to what they say and open our hearts to what is right, we wouldn't have to suffer the damage!

When we face God's judgement, there is no turning back, Hell or Heaven. We can't shake our head to say "I'll not do it again" anymore. We can't say "I didn't know!" when the Good News had already preached around the world!

Those who are reading this, you're lucky, you are still not too late to repent. As long as we are living on this place on Earth, we are not late. This very moment, is the very moment that you should believe in a Man, the Son of Man, who shed His blood on the cross, to buy you a place in Heaven, and brings you to a Place of Joy not Suffering, a place with His presence. He was killed by us, then was raised from the dead in order to fight again Death and defeat Death and save humanity. Repent now, for there is no chance for you to say "I will not do it again!" after this.

"I'm sorry Jesus, for all the shameful things I've done in the dark and all the sins that I've done. I'm sorry i led others into sins and I'm sorry I didn't believe. Now Jesus, take me! I commit all sins that I've done into Your hands and wash them off with Your blood! Amen!"

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 5. Project Kwam Wang - Sabaidee, Laos! I don't think I can ever say this enough: Laos is an unforgettable nation, mainly because of the unforgettable journey that God had taken me through. The initial idea was to paint a school building in Vientiane, but imagine our shock when the team saw a building with 2-walled rooms. Instead of complaining, the team quickly came together to lay bricks and cement. 5 days later, we have classrooms with 4 walls and whole school of happy children. The highlight of the trip came later. To catch our flight in Lua Prabang, we took a 6-hour bus ride into Vang Vien, a magical, spectacular heaven-on-earth. The 2-hour tubing experience to enjoy the peace and scenic view of Vang Vien mountain range, the lovely morning breakfast with a morning sunshine and green mountains. It was a great time of serenity and reflection. Then another 6 hours of bus ride across the mountain into Lua Prabang. Tasted on...

Stand for Judas

By -
You know, there was once my sister told me when I tell her the story of "The Last Supper":"Yer! Why Judas Iscariot so bad one? Betray Jesus ( with a kiss )!" I did not answer her question, I did not know how. I got the answer lately, the thinking somehow struck my mind. Some people might say Judas is bad , taken over by devil. But I think he is quite a brave man actually. If he did not sell Jesus out, Jesus could not carry out His Father's plan. He was actually carrying out his mission that God gave him. And yet, after accomplishing his mission, he hung himself. Think about it, will you kill yourself after accomplishing a mission or successfully completed an important job? Well, even if I throw a knife to you and ask you to cut yourself would need huge courage ( Mrs. Ramani did this experiment before and I had seen it myself, even I would not cut myself ), prove me wrong! Not to say to praise him for selling the Son of Man out, but he deserves our little re...

Heavenly Disconnected

By -
We were all happily chit-chatting (or yelling) at grandma’s house. My second aunt suggested that we go to one of her cousin’s house to visit them but unfortunately the cousin wasn’t at home so we had to cancel it. Then I suggested to visit my youngest aunt’s house with the urge to play some mahjong. My intention was to play only, I did not intend to involve money. We drove there in 3 separate cars with me fetching my sister only. As we reached there we got everything ready, the mahjong table, chairs and of course, the mahjong. I couldn’t wait for my elder cousin to come and join me for a 3-Players Cantonese Mahjong. Just to make it fun, I (while being a Christian) suggested to involve money. This is where the problem starts. I feel pride arise. Holy Spirit was prompting me not to play with money, in fact, the mahjong at all. But I ignored it on purpose but seek selfish desire for pleasure and greed. I won around RM10 with starting fund RM13. But I also get the sense of guilt....
