a winner's promise

I will have confidence in myself and put my trust in God. I will have courage for the big things and patience for the small things. I will admit mistakes,learn forgiveness, and go on with the game. I will not call myself a looser or a failure until I've failed to try. I will set sound, worthy goals and work for them one at a time and one play at a time. I will do what I can and not worry about scoring, winning and making big plays because just doing my best and playing fair is what really makes me a winner, both in life and on the playing field.

words of affirmation and comforting and also built up my confidence that i received few years ago and i just only go and read this thingy.well confidence is up.no matter what i just do what i can and do my best.yeah!!!

The Good Samaritan

It's not easy to find a reason not to help others. The people who ignored the beat up,half dead man were supposedly the "good guy"-a priest and a Levite (an assistant of priests). But they both found reason not to help. Along comes the Samaritannnnn and he helpedthe guy. When can you be a "Good Samaritan"? When a little kid is getting picked on. When washing a few cars brings in money for a good cause. Being too important to help may seem "COOL," but it's NOT. "A Samaritan...when he saw him, he took pity on him"(Luke 10:33) and helped. So and therefore when there's a need, be a Good Samaritan and don't think that you're cool.hehehe

didn't go school for weeks. teachers won't teach. so i rather stay at home do my own studies. im currently doing my accounts and maths. daily routine. wake, tv, eat, studies and sleep. nothing to do. but 1 thing i always do is to water my plants. hahaha isn't weird that i water plants? hmmm when i saw leafs growing is just like new life. i like it. just stay at home like jail no where to go and don't feel like going out cause of my lazinessssss. well can i make it for 5Cs.hmmm juust to have faith and do my best.
accountant?isn't too late for me to think?hmmm i from account class n did badly on previous account papers.can i be an accountant?well is an ambition.ppl say take up the challenge to make the ambition to become true.hmmm where am i?just few more weeks,my account paper will start.and i keep on doing account such as business document,cost outing,and popular question from spm paper.can i make it?well i just read my bible there are notes written do what you can.doest it means don't force myself and let it be and do what i can do?is a note based from 1 Chronicles 22.ever really wanted to do something,made all the preperations beforehand,only to have everything called off? That's what happened to David. He wanted to build a magnificent temple for God,but God said no. David had killed fart too many people to qualify for the job. Solomon should buid it instead. David didn't take his football and huff off toward home,pouting. Instead, he said, 'I'll make preparations for it'. David drew up detailed blueprints for the temple and gathered all the building materials Solomon would need. Sure, David was told to stop the contruction, but he still helped all he could. As christians, we are all a team. We all have a part to play. You may not be the one to run the football across the goal line, but you can throw it to the guy who does. well this passage is about teamwork.but my problem is what should i do?hahaha some may don't understand what am i trying to say here. anyway i know that my bros and sis in Christ here are supporting me and praying for me.i just need to practice more excercise and do what i do n give my best in this exam.accountant?i think depends on God's will ba.i'll shall follow what He planed for me. =)

Question: "What are the seven deadly sins?"

Answer: Many people fear a list of seven sins that God supposedly will not forgive. This list is known as the “seven deadly sins.” Is the idea of “seven deadly sins” Biblical? Yes and no. Proverbs 6:16-19 declares: “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: (1) haughty eyes, (2) a lying tongue, (3) hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked schemes, (5) feet that are quick to rush into evil, (6) a false witness who pours out lies, and (7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” However, this list is not what most people understand as the “seven deadly sins.”

Most people understand the list of the “seven deadly sins” to be: pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth. Although each of these are undeniably sins, they are never given the description of "the seven deadly sins" in the Bible. The traditional list of the “seven deadly sins” can function as a good way to categorize the many different sins that exist. Nearly every kind of sin could be placed under one of the seven categories. More importantly, however, is that we realize these seven sins are no more “deadly” than any other sin. All sin results in death (Romans 6:23). Praise be to God, that through Jesus Christ, all of our sins, including the “seven deadly sins,” can be forgiven (Matthew 26:28; Acts 10:43; Ephesians 1:7).

Question: "What does the Bible say about gambling? Is gambling a sin?"

Answer: Gambling can be defined as “risking money in an attempt to multiply the money on something that is against the odds.” The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5). Scripture also encourages us to stay away from attempts to "get rich quick" (Proverbs 13:11; 23:5; Ecclesiastes 5:10). Gambling most definitely is focused on the love of money and undeniably tempts people with the promise of quick and easy riches.

What’s wrong with gambling? Gambling is a difficult issue because if it is done in moderation and only on occasion, it is a waste of money, but it is not necessarily "evil." People waste money on all sorts of activities. Gambling is no more or less of a waste of money than seeing a movie (in many cases), eating an unnecessarily expensive meal, or purchasing a worthless item. At the same time, the fact that money is wasted on other things does not justify gambling. Money should not be wasted. Excess money should be saved for future needs or given to the Lord's work - not gambled away.

Gambling in the Bible: While the Bible does not explicitly mention gambling, it does mention games of "luck" or "chance." As an example, casting lots is used in Leviticus to choose between the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat. Joshua cast lots to determine the allotment of land to the various tribes. Nehemiah cast lots to determine who would live inside the walls of Jerusalem and who wouldn’t. The apostles cast lots to determine the replacement for Judas. Proverbs 16:33 says, “The lot is cast in the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.” Nowhere in the Bible is gambling or "chance" used for entertainment or presented as an acceptable practice for followers of God.

Casinos and lotteries: Casinos use all sorts of marketing schemes to entice gamblers to risk as much money as possible. They often offer inexpensive or even free alcohol, which encourages drunkenness, and thereby a decreased ability to make wise decisions. Everything in a casino is perfectly rigged for taking money in large sums and giving nothing in return, except for fleeting and empty pleasures. Lotteries attempt to portray themselves as a way to fund education and/or social programs. However, studies show that lottery participants are usually those who can least afford to be spending money on lottery tickets. The allure of "getting rich quick" is too great a temptation to resist for those who are desperate. The chances of winning are infinitesimal, which results in many peoples’ lives being ruined.

Why lottery proceeds do not please God: Many people claim to be playing the lottery or gambling so that they can give the money to the church, or to some other good cause. While this may be a good motive, reality is that few use gambling winnings for godly purposes. Studies show that the vast majority of lottery winners are in an even worse financial situation a few years after winning a jackpot than they were before. Few, if any, truly give the money to a good cause. Further, God does not need our money to fund His mission in the world. Proverbs 13:11 says, “Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.” God is sovereign and will provide for the needs of the church through honest means. Would God be honored by receiving donated drug money, or money stolen in a back robbery? Neither does God need or want money that was "stolen" from the poor by the temptation for riches.

1 Timothy 6:10 tells us, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." Hebrews 13:5 declares, "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Matthew 6:24 proclaims, "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

TAKE MY LIFE

I would like to title this song or this lyrics take my life instead of assuredly yours. Is quite a meaningful song for me to God. The original title of this song is Assuredly Yours by Ollie Sebastian from PCC. Somehow is like a commitment and surrender to God like that but there are still many meanings we can find from this lyrics.

All that I am is in You
All that I seek is to follow You
I run to Your side when You call
There is the hope I am longing for

Pre-Chorus:
Just to be by Your side
There is hope in my life
There is no greater freedom I'll find

So take my life
And all that I have to give
Take my world
Just inhabit all of it
Take my dreams
Make me assuredly Your

(C) Ollie Sebastian
