"Honey, you kuai kuai at home, I make more $$$!"

check it out:
Married men earn more if wives do the chores?

"Married men earn more than bachelors so long as their wives stay at home doing the housework, according to a report Wednesday from Britain's Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER)."


~~interesting, huh?

message undelivered?

Christianity promotes that GOD IS LOVE. And hence, He will be the first one to answer our prayers!

I have written about prayer in my previous post.

problem:

I pray to the loving God for XXXXX for along time and earnestly. But, seems no reply. God refuses to answer my prayer.


Yes?

My limited and simple brain cells can generate of 2 reasons why our prayers seems unanswered:

1st: refuse to obey

bible says : "If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear" (Ps.66:18)

iniquity means sin or wrong doing and Sin is define as unwilling to obey God.

the reason is simple: How can you go against God and still ask Him for a favor?

So, now, I hated God and rebelled against Him, what should I do?

Good News:

1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.



2nd : God is smarter

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Is.558-9)


You see, God is so much smarter than us that, He thinks differently than us. He loves us and always wanted to give the best to us. He listens to our prayers, but some times, we ask for something that is not good for us. So, God refuse to gives and He answers with either NO or NOT YET.

Says, your son loves Potato Chips. And everyday, he asks you to buy a pack for him. He has been a good boy and you loves him more than anything or anyone else. Will you buy him Potato Chips daily? Unlikely because you don't want him to die early.

Elijah, prophet, once prayed and ask the Lord to take his life. He was so depressed that he ask God to kill him. But God is so loving that He refuse to answer Elijah's prayer. Elijah ended up translated to heaven without experience death.

Conclusion:

Keep praying! God loves to hear your prayer but please have in mind that God will only provides you THE BEST

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Wa Si Hokkien Lang!

check this out: hokkienlang

"Wa kong wueh
Wu lang thia boh?"


I honestly really have a hard time trying to read those post. But funnie leh... :)

I remember one incident when I volunteered in the Penang Adventist Hospital last year. In ER. There is one old sweet lady ask me to help her to walk to the toilet. But she conversed with me in hokkien... which I know abit abit only. But then again, I really don't know what she trying to say. Charm lor.. but one phrase save my life:

"Auntie, sorry ah, wa bo shi hokkien lang, le kong shi mi, wo thia boh..."(~smile)


... and I called a Sabahan nurse which can converse well in Hokkien. (malu la saya.. orang cina, pernah tinggal Muar, tak tau bahasa hokkien..)

melancholy Christianity?

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Ps. 16:11



Some people (or not, many people) thinks that to accept Christ as our personal savior is means beginning of pain and difficulty in lives. Some, associate Christianity with persecution, hardship, sorrows, poverty and other "negative" sadness.

I have a chance to chat with one gentleman:

Me: The recently held youth camp (AYC) is cool. The speaker is powerful. I think you, you should be there.

Gentleman: I better not go there?

M: But, why?

G: I am afraid that, when I go there, I listen to the truth, I was touched by the massage and get baptize!

M:???

G: and if I get baptize, and become a Christian, I am bounded to live a perfect life and I will be encounter many sorrows.

_____________

Is it true that becoming a Christian, you will encounter many sorrows?

yes and no.

it is inevitable that this world is full of sorrow. The most evil guy in this world also face difficulty and hardship. This is because, teruk la, the world is under the spell of sin. Means that, from the very beginning, human choose to rebel against God, and choose to learn the hard way.

But the good news is, the loving God, have a plan out. That is where Christianity comes in, where you are NOT ALONE, God will be with you going through whatever suffering you will be facing.

Inspiration tell us:

Do not think that when you walk with Jesus you must walk in the shadow. The happiest people in the world are those who trust in Jesus and gladly do His bidding. From the lives of those who follow Him, unrest and discontent are banished. . . . They may meet with trial and difficulty,
but their lives are full of joy; for Christ walks beside them, and His presence makes the pathway bright. . . .



Using common sense and some basic calculation, I suggest you to accept the Jesus as your personal Savior as He is all ready to be with you to meet the coming trial and difficulty! and the best, it is free for all!


============================
BTW, Jargon problems:

Jesus=Christ=God=Savior=Jesus Christ

all refer to the same thing

I guess, Jerry Scott & Jim Borgman had picture it in a clearer way.

forwarded email....-edited

a small truth to make our lives 100%
~~

if
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is equal to
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 1718 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26
then hardwork=
H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K =
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
only

knowledge=
K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E=
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
only

love=
L+O+V+E=
12+15+22+5=54% only

luck=
L+U+C+K =
12+21+3+11 = 47% only
(don't most of us think this is most
important???)

then what makes 100% is it
money? ..... no
leadership? ...... no

every problem has a solution, only if
we perhaps change our attitude. to
go to the top, to that 100%.

what we really need to go further, a
bit more.......
attitude=
A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E =
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%



...




wait... how about a bit further:
J+E+S+U+S+C+A+R+E=
10+5+19+21+19+3+1+18+5=101%

hehe.. JESUS CARE makes MY life complete! :) and plus a bit more..

Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

starve your dog and SPCA will not come after you



Her name is call AIBO. I saw her in KLCC today. Hey, she is briliant. I mean relatively briliant. Her behaviour is adorable and she seems to know how to play her bone well. She also seems to have feelings.

However, she is abit....slow. ( okay, I know I am contradicting myself) She was intelligent, but her respond was so slow. Really mentally retarded.

Who will buy this kind of pet? I mean, when you know she is sterile!

blogspot eats my blog?

Few minutes ago, my page [http://loveisfromgod.blogspot.com/] can't appear properly. I thought there is some scripting problem with my post. I check carefully and there is no problem.

I didn't edit my blog template recently. So I guess it will be unlikely the template problem.

But when I check the scripts carefully, WHAT THE........!!!! a large portion of the template script was deleted.

nasib baik, now, everything is restored.

forum online.

I got this from LOWYAT posted by samuraiKidz :

My test ended 2 weeks ago. I was privilage to see Tan Yan Kit ( ex schoolmates, MBS) last week. I really enjoy seeing him. We chat about life, school, happinese and other stuff. I mean real serious stuff. I can't agree more that girls chat and guys discuss? ( yeah rite.)
Well, I really enjoy the moment of seeing him.

and we parted.....

Today, I was fortunate to meet Giat Heng, Yee Vern, Chen Fung, Hui Koon, Hui Ying, and Hui (what?.. forgot... sorry) at KLCC. All of them had changed. More matured now.
Anyway, we enjoy ourself chating. Giat will be going to NUS next month and Koon is inclined to go there too. So, its gonna be like a so-called final meeting. We have a nice gathering...

But we parted....

:-(

end of all sorrows?

..not really, its a beginning of all sorrows.

After a (long and hard) year of preparation for the CMC enterance examination, today, I (or rather we- Jiwan, Geok Huey ,and myself) , finally, ended our agony by sitting the examination in SAUM, Singapore.

The exam consist of 2 sections, the 1st test on the 3 science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) subjects and the 2nd test on IQ.

The on 1st part, there are 180 questions, 60 questions on each subjects and is given 2 hours to complete the test. While the 2nd part,IQ , 120 questions. It is a marathon. Finish all non-stop.

Its started off cool. I just love the whole setting. Before entering the exam "hall", Pastor Simon, a Gentleman (forgot his name), Pr Jansen prayed for us, also join with Dr Sally Phoon and Ms Debbie. I felt encouraged.

It is nice right? to be part in the large family of God. Where you know, people are praying for you, supporting you where ever you go.

I am so glad, I am a part of God large family. and y dont you?

ps: my sister, Persis and ex-schoolmate, Hui koon also completed their semester final examination.

Wire to heaven

Luk 11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Humans were born doubters. The bible has made it clear that if only we ask God, (a.k.a. prayer) He is ready to help us. Alas, many are in trouble and in need but they refuse to ask the Lord. Many feel hopeless; many feel discourage; many are tired with life; many attempted suicide. But this should not and would not be happening if just we learn to pray to God.

God is love, the bible says. He made many promises in the bible that if just we ask, He will provide. If just we ask in His name, He will not hesitate to give. Yes, He is all ready to give all His best to us till a point of willingly to let the One and Only Jesus to die as a result of our transgression.

Do you think God is deaf to your prayers? Common sense says: No!

---------------

Some time ago, I felt impressed to pray for CK. CK did not know Jesus and I did not get a chance to share how Jesus loves him more than his GF. I didn’t imagine, CK will accept Jesus as his only hope and Saviour. I just simply tell God about CK. Guess what, after few months, CK sms me that he is a Christian.

BJ, about 2 years old, makes noise in church which actually disturbs the congregation. I share this problem to God. (cut story short), BJ became obedient.

I am not lying. There are many more stories to tell how, when I ask God, He answers.

I am not a prophet. I am not a holy man. I am not a church leader. I am not any miracle making man. I am just a sinner, down-to-earth human who makes mistake. But I ask. And God cares to listen. He answers according to His super keng wisdom.

If He listens to a sinner’s (my) prayer, I am sure He also listens to you… only if you ask.
