Christianity: The Sunday Experience

        

“Happy Sunday! Did you go to church today? Oh lovely! How was service? It was awesome!”

As is custom, most of us Christians get up early on Sunday mornings, get prepared in our ‘Church attire’ and zoom off to service. We have a wonderful time in service and we’re all cheerful and nice to each other.

When we get back, we have lunch and life gradually slip back into our usual grumpy and fast life as soon as Monday shows up! The same cycle repeating itself every week… pretentious, right?

Being a Christian is to be who you are (a new person in Christ). It’s not a double life so you don’t get to switch modes. It’s you living daily with Christ, working hand in hand with Him to become a better person. It’s life! It’s you on Mondays, on Tuesdays, all through the week and back forever.

Jesus Christ was Jesus Christ on a daily basis because it was who He was; how much more we who have chosen to live like Him.

Let it no longer be a normal phenomenon to be a good guy on Sabbath and a bad guy during the week, outside Church. You need to see that you carry God on your inside; let Him (His Love) shine through you. This is what discourages a lot of people from associating with some Christians as they feel they’re pretentious.


 Christianity is not just a Sunday-Sunday experience, it’s your lifestyle; your everyday living. It’s your life; the God-kind of life.

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

While We're Waiting

James 5:7-8  “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”     Time after time, school goes on a really long break and I have to travel back home. I end up staying at for months and I'm always complaining of the same old thing that plagues most of us: BOREDOM!       I have nothing to do for fun, hardly any friends around and there's always a chore to do which all bores me to tears.      However, someone said something in a Church Class that caught my attention. He said "We're bored because we don't want to think and work. We can't complain of boredom when we're busy".
