God?

Source:https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/christianity-quit-growing-korea/- I was inspired to design this piece after reading this article.

"If South Korea were a Disney Princess, she would be Cinderella."

"Oppressed and abused for years by her closest relatives, Japan and China, the country finally broke free in the early 1950s after World War II and the Korean War."

I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.

Jeremiah 24:7

???? ??? ??????.

Philippians 4:6-7 & Isaiah 26:3 | Do Not Worry.
Do not worry about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, presenting your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

When we worry about things that haven't taken place yet, we are pretty much on our own. God can't help us with those things, because his will is that we fully live and enjoy today, while completely trusting him for the future.

When we worry, we are letting our minds wander around from the past, to the present to the future, and we wonder or reason about what is going to happen to us, and we start to lose our peace. God intends for us to keep our minds on what we are doing. I don't mean to say that we never take the time to reflect about our past or make plans for the future. But when we do, it should be something we do intentionally with purpose, but not with loose mind that never focuses on anything. All these type of thoughts will pressure us, because they are not God's will. The prophet Isaiah said that God would keep us in perfect peace when our mind is fixed on him.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Isaiah 26:3

"What if God designed Marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?"

"It makes sense that God would design the fundamental human relationship - that between husband and wife - as a relationship that complements our spiritual walk. The stronger we grow as spouses, persevering and pressing further into our marriage, the more we'll develop the very character traits we need to become mature believers. Growing in our marriage, then, can build up our faith, even as growing in our faith will build our marriages. It's a wonderful circle of spiritual life!

May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.

@Panda: I think you do a pretty good job at spreading the good word too.

So if South Korea is Cinderella, who is North Korea?

Haha.. I have no idea what Disney character North Korea is.

If Mety evangelizes like he does and I continue to design for the lord, we are going to have Irvine locked down with the good word.

You can talk about it. But to live by it is another thing. For example, To let people clearly discriminate other people based or race and sexuality on TI and not saying anything. (passive Christian, turning your back)
But I?m not surprised anybody can copy and paste lines.

South Korea is an awesome country. They have bested their old colonial master Japan in terms of technology and pop culture export.

South Korea maintains close relations with the United States, Russia, mainland China, Taiwan, and Japan, countries with serious conflicts with each other that South Korea refuses to be drawn into or take sides on. In other words, South Korea is no other country?s bitch.

North Korea is still mainland China's bitch.

You still seem to be the only one who think other members are promoting discrimination. In fact, you are doing that yourself every time you call other members "fat'" (which you have done numerous times now). I asked you before why you are discriminating against people who are weight challenged.

Discrimination is not just about race or sexuality.

1. How is it discrimination when it?s true? (If it?s not true let me know, but the previous posted by ___ previously mentioned that. So if I bring it up it?s a big deal? Double standard. Lol)
2. Is it bad to tell someone to excercise?
3. By me saying all this sweet talk is making me sick is offensive?

Thanks for the reminder. I am going to create a topic about overweight/obese in America. I will use stats provided by CDC. In general, how do you feel about the report by the CDC relating to overweight? (Should they have the report, too much info, too offensive?)
Make better choices and eat better.

2 Thessalonians 3:5

Marriage indeed is a sacred thing God gave us. Most importantly, it's symbolized as a union between Christ and believers. God the Father gave His Son as a husband to whoever believes in Him. We, the believers, are therefore a wife of Christ and Christ is ultimately presenting us to God the Father as His equal holy sacred being even though we don't deserve that much love. This is why God doesn't like (I can even say, God hates) adulterous sin or divorce because this is breaking God's original intention of the union of the husband and a wife, Christ and believers. All sins, of course, are equally bad to God, but this sin breaks God's heart in such a way.

So I went back to the Trump quote. This is what he says, ?Cruz holds up the Bible and then lies.?
Um, I didn?t mean that. Just to clarify things.

I don?t want to quote Trump, but I am. But like he said about Ted putting his hand on the Bible. That?s what I feel some members do on TI. Praise God, but turn your back when people are treated worse than animals.

The secret to living a joy filled life is to have an attitude of gratitude.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. Psalm 28:7

Gratitude releases joy. Gratitude is a magnetic force that naturally draws joy filled people and occurrences into your life. When you experience a sense of gratitude, it means that you have been harboring thoughts of appreciation for the abundance in your life. When you feel a sense of deficiency, on the other hand, it does not necessarily mean that you are lacking something important. What it does mean is that you have recently been thinking about what is absent, very likely to the exclusion of what is present.

 

[panda]

Mety, you really have a gift with your words!

I've read a lot of marriage books in the course of my 14 years of marriage and I have to say that "Sacred Marriage" is probably the best one I've ever read. I highly recommend this book not just for couples struggling in this area, but also for couples who already have a good marriage, but desire to have a great marriage.

To live by it as to live a perfect life is an impossibility.

Of course there are people who just do the talk without really believing in Christ, but one of Jesus' main messages was that we cannot reach perfection by our own will or power. Jews at the time thought they could do so by obeying all the Laws God gave them, but what they were doing was only the external practices which Jesus pointed out as a hypocrisy.

That is why Jesus said He was the ONLY way to God. He is the ONLY perfect person lived or ever will live on earth as we know of. He was offering people to have faith in Him so that such effort of trying to reach perfection would be already done by Him. And as He is the husband of whoever has such faith, He will set the believers' status as PERFECT as He is PERFECT. This is the ONLY way we can have our true fellowship with God the Father.

People having discrimination or racism might be a total different subject, but we also don't know others' full stories or the original intention many times. We can only make assumptions of what others think or believe based on what we see and hear, but that again might not be the absolute fact either. Only God is the perfect God who cannot be argued. We all still have inequities and imperfections that can cause so much possibilities and arguments. We have to understand that the believers are no different. We are not perfect either. We will be perfect eventually as Jesus is (and God sees us perfect already since He is not limited by time), but until Jesus returns, we are still with flaws living in this sinful world. Making a decision based on a so-called "Christian person" is not a good idea. Making a decision based on who "Jesus" is the right way.

Tell people about the Good Samaritan.

The Good Samaritan example Jesus gave (Luke 10:25-37) is also another teaching about impossibility of reaching perfection and you have to understand why and to whom Jesus gave this story to. It was a lawyer (someone who studied/knew all God's laws) who wanted to justify himself contrary to what Jesus was teaching.

The lawyer asked Jesus to put Him on a test how to inherit eternal life. I'm sure the lawyer meant to say eternal life in Heaven, not eternal life in Hell. Jesus asked him back what's written in the Law and he, being a lawyer of course, answered correctly by stating the greatest commandment, love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus told him to do so and he asked Jesus who is "my neighbor ?" Then Jesus gave this Good Samaritan example -

Someone was robbed and beaten half dead. A Jewish priest who was passing by wouldn't help, a Levite (who is also a Jewish leader) wouldn't help, but a Samaritan who Jews despised helped him by bounding up wounds, pouring oil, set him on his own animal, put him in inn paying all those extra costs and etc. Jesus then asked that lawyer who does he think is the neighbor to the man who was robbed. He had no choice but to answer the Samaritan. He however doesn't say the word, "Samaritan." He said, ?The one who showed him mercy.? He didn't want to admit that a Samaritan would do something a Jew couldn't do. And even his scornful way of answering is only adding to the point Jesus wanted to drive to. Jesus then said, ?You go, and do likewise.?

Now, that lawyer knew he would NEVER be able to do what Jesus described of the Good Samaritan did. That also implies to us. We with our own mind would NEVER be able to perform that much love to our neighbor. WE CANNOT LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS OURSELVES. We first need to admit that and ask Jesus to forgive and lead us. If you think you love your neighbor as yourself fine, there is a higher chance that you're in more danger of self glorifying yourself than someone who at least admits that he doesn't love as so. Jesus wants us to admit our inequities and sinful nature first. And then we finally start to realize that we are that very one who was robbed half dead, waiting for help. And we also know that Jesus is the one who comes to rescue by giving up even His life for us. Jesus wanted that lawyer to know and repent, but the Bible doesn't say he repented so.
