Life Questions

Hi there, what sort of questions do you have? Perhaps try handing over one.


As far as life is concerned, here is one of the most frequently asked questions: most people ask what our purpose of life is -- why did God create us. Why did God create human beings in the first place? Why did God create Adam and Eve?


God created us to first have a relationship with Him. He wanted children, so He created us in His image -- in the image of God. And He would spend time, everyday, with Adam and Eve, chatting with them and building that relationship with them. It was a beautiful time.


But as we all know, Adam and Eve disobeyed God when they took of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil which they were told not to take. And their eyes were opened -- their ignorance shattered -- sin entered in. That sin separated them from God because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.


The relationship between man and God has been broken -- the closeness, that beautiful thing they had. But to make it worse, they were also bound for death. Instead of living forever, the wages of sin is death. God was heartbroken, so he had a plan to rescue them.


His plan was to pay for their sins which could only be done by redeeming a life for a life -- his own. So to earth He came, as a baby, to live as humans, showing us how to live without sin, and to finally die for humans, paying the price of blood -- a sinless man paying for the sins of the world, but brutally. Every stripe of the whip He received, was to pay for our healing. His blood, redeeming and therefore powerful to use as evidence of our salvation.


Now, anyone who accepts this salvation shall be free to live eternally, instead of going to hell where sin had condemned us to previously. The path to heaven has been reforged, and we can now live with Him, both while on earth and after we die, to graduate to Heaven, where He has made a home for us, to live with Him forever. And that is a beautiful thing.


This means that once we accept this salvation -- Jesus -- into our hearts, we have reforged that relationship with Him. We can come to Him freely, without the need for a mediator. We can hear His voice, and casually spend time with Him everyday as it were from the beginning, and as it ought to be. With this relationship, we have achieved our purpose in life, and without this relationship, there will always be a hole in our hearts, and we will always be longing for Him, and breaking inside.


So all you have to do is to tell Jesus you want Him in your heart and that you accept His payment, which He paid for on the cross for your life, paying for every sin you ever committed, making you now sinless -- and your life will change. Forever. It's really that simple.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

Baptism and sinless after

1. Jesus was baptized  2. Jesus’ disciples baptized 3. Jesus commissioned us to baptize 4. Ephesians 4:22 talks about putting off the old man.  This means leaving your past behind and you are not that person. Your dead body is buried and you are now alive because of Christ in you. So the devil cannot point his finger at you and condemn you for your past sins because that person is dead, and you are not that person. You are a new creation. If Christ is in you, Hebrews 6:4-6 says we cannot crucify again the son of God.  2 Peter 2: For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog re...

What is a calling?

My eldest came back into my room today after her nightime prayer. She was worried about her calling being totally different from what she has set her heart to be or do. Of course, I told her the usual -- "Don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself." I was tired and sleepy, and so was she. I just really needed her to go to her bed at this point and not get worked up about the future. And yes, it was good advice, especially if it's got her this worked up. I, for one, did not worry about my future. For some reason, I just seem to be really ambitious all the time. From wanting to start my own kindergarten at nine, to wanting to be a millionaire missionary at ten, to wanting to build a campus when I was thirteen, it just kept getting bigger and better, and always more or less on the same line. It was like I saw it coming. And yes, it may seem like different things to the naked eye, but it really was the same thing. We talked about the differences betwe...
