What happens when you die?

This question has indeed troubled many people for many many many years... What actually happens to us when we die? Will we just stop living? Will our body just decay and stop existing? Is there a heaven for everyone? Is there really a hell for those very evil and wicked people? Is there justice of a both heaven and hell? Or would it be just a total darkness...? Or a a light at the end of the tunnel?

There was this fad as well from last year:

Quoting from Mail Online says:-

"People in China are getting behind the craze of holding funerals for themselves and being placed in a coffin. Participants are told to climb inside wooden coffins to feel what it is truly like to experience death. The experience is getting popular in the country with many companies including funeral parlours around the country offering the chance to get inside a coffin. One such event, called 'Experiencing Death', was held by a funeral home in east China's Tianjin city last Friday, reported People's Daily Online." - Mail Online

It captures the imagination of people who even doesn't have an interest to know anything about religion or God, it get's stuck in their head when they're older or even when in an age where everything seems to be stagnant and without direction and monotonous life... Intrusive thoughts about the afterlife after death can challenge one's thinking and beliefs that when they are a 

FREETHINKER @ 'I Don't Care' or an ATHEIST

Hi, seems like I have got your attention now since you are continuing to read my blog post today. So, my name is Albrecht... and I am an Ex-believer of the idea of reincarnation and also an Ex-believer of the teachings of Buddha when all he thought about was some crazy stuff not even a monk could follow 100%... Images of him were made hundreds of years after he died and ceased to exists and the teachings of Buddhism got so mixed up with Chinese folklore, Taoism and some other weird superstition... I am happy I got away with all the past madness.

Today I stand before all of you saying I once believe all people would go to heaven, but considering a man who has once did the most wicked thing in life like murdering his own wife or kids, or like Hitler starting WWII and eventually wiping out millions of innocent people... I don't think heaven would cater for such people.

"... all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ."

The Book of Romans, Chapter 3 verse 23

The Apostle Paul

You see, the problem with the world today is filled with evil, wickedness, unfairness, justice that has been smudged with dirt and such dirty... disgusting acts of horrible crimes has been conducted by man or women who just has evil in their hearts. Yes, there are good people around too that gives colors to this world and creates life and good atmospheres in world that we lived in.

What would happen to the evil people? the rapist? Child abusers? Murderers? Thieves? would there be a punishment for them after this life?  In hell?

YES

And in the same way, for all of those who has sin and continuing in their sins... Those who has not known God or even found the way to connect to God... Because ultimately, each and everyone of us has done something wrong in life and has lived in a way where we did not acknowledge God or His existence in our lives. One way or another we have had sinned. and sin in God's Eye is dirty, wicked and evil and can not enter into heaven.

“There is no one righteous, not even one;

there is no one who understands;

there is no one who seeks God.

All have turned away,

they have together become worthless;

there is no one who does good,

not even one.”

“Their throats are open graves;

their tongues practice deceit.”

“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”

“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”

“Their feet are swift to shed blood;

ruin and misery mark their ways,

and the way of peace they do not know.”

“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

- The Apostle Paul

God is Almighty, the creator of the universe and He is Perfect and Holy and without blame... also, He is Awesome and Great and gives life to a newborn and to every living creature on this planet. To think for a second that anyone imperfect, a liar, a drunkard a murderer, prideful, without compassion, heartless, animal maiming person, fornicator, adulterer or even a thief... would be able enter into the courts of Heaven is unreasonable. 

Since the fall of Adam and Eve in the history of mankind, SIN has entered into the world and has since separated mankind from God. it is our sin, that dirty, evil and disgusting sin of our in us separates us from knowing God and having a relationship with Him.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked;

for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption,

but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

The Book of Galatians

Chapter 6

Verses 7 & 8

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

The First Letter to the Corinthians

Paul, The Apostle

Chapter 6

verses 9 & 10

When it is said that such people would not inherit the Kingdom of God, it speaks loudly of a group of people who would not enter heaven. And because God is Holy, Righteous, Just and Marvelous... He is not a Judge Who would just be like a good ol' grandpa and say, "I'll let this sin pass me by and accept it into heaven." Instead, like a righteous Judge, Sin must be punished and the Justice of God must be appeased.

Because,

God is a just judge,

And God is angry with the wicked every day.

If he does not turn back,

He will sharpen His sword;

He bends His bow and makes it ready.

The Book of Psalms
Chapter 7
Verses 11 & 12

Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

The Book of Genesis

The Book of Beginnings

Moses

And since God is a righteous Judge and our wicked, vile and disgusting dirty sin will send us straight to hell... It would be even a scary thought that one would have to spend an eternity over eternity in hell because he or she has sinned not against a mere man, but an everlasting, eternal Holy God.

The Great White Throne Judgment

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

The Book of Revelation

John, The Apostle

Chapter 20

Verses 11 ~ 15

At the end of the day, there will be eternal torment in hell...

"... God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;"

2nd Letter of Peter,

Peter, the Apostle

Chapter 2

Verse 4

Sin will have its consequences not only in this world but also in the afterlife... after we die... when our soul has left our body...

So, what is our hope then? Since even the most nicest person on earth has had sinned once in his or her lifetime... and will be condemned to hell if not saved... What is the hope for them?? What is the hope for us??

You see dear reader, it is also known that God is Love... Out of Love He blesses the earth and provides us with the colors of His creation... The laughter, the joyous emotions, the smiles and the happy feelings we get when we are with loved ones are His designs and creations.

The Lord is not slack

concerning His promise,

as some count slackness,

but is longsuffering toward us,

not willing that any should perish

but that all should come to repentance.

2nd Letter of Peter,

Peter, the Apostle

Chapter 3, Verse 9

“ … ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God,

‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked,

but that the wicked turn from his way and live.

Turn, turn from your evil ways!

For why should you die, … ?”

The Book of Ezekiel

Chapter 33, Verse 11

And this is the Hope, that God does not wants us to perish in hell and die there left to rot for eternity and eternity and eternity... But He desires that we repent of our wrongdoings, repent from our sinful ways and turn away from it...

Now, if you turn away from your sin,

Whom do you turn to?

God has prepared a way for salvation, that is for you to escape the Judgement and God's Wrath against sin and all that has rebelled against Him... escaping hell and receiving His redemption...

"... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."

 The Book of Romans

The Apostle Paul

Chapter 3, Verses 23 ~26

Since there is a price that needs to be paid for our sins, Jesus has died on the cross to pay the wages of our sin. Jesus being God's Only Begotten Son has became a man and lived a perfect, blameless and holy life on earth being tempted with the same temptations of evil as of today... Yet lived without sin and was proven blameless unto death. He was crucified and died a sinner's death; a death penalty worthy of the worst criminals at that current time during the Roman Empires. He was accused of blasphemy declaring His Deity and calling God is Father making Him equal with God, and also at one point revealing He Himself is God.

If He was a mere crazy man, he would have died and stayed dead in his very grave...

BUT

Jesus; "who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification."

The Apostle Paul

Jesus Christ, The Lord Jesus Christ was raised up from the dead and He was resurrected back to life after dying on the cross and was buried... The people at those times went mad and began to declare what has happened and share this wonderful news. Because...

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

 The Book of John

by The Apostle John

Chapter 3: vs. 16

I call unto you dear reader, whoever who would stumble unto this blog post of mine... Life after death is real and will continue for eternity upon eternity and upon eternity. You don't need to spend your eternity after death in hell...

But repent of your sins and put your Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, receiving Him as your Lord and Savior... submitting your whole life under His Lordship and Sovereignty... Because He is coming back again for those who has placed their trust, faith and belief in Him to save them from hell entering into an eternal relationship with Him, The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords.

The Lord Jesus Christ wants to save you and set you free from the bondage of sin, the consequences of sin and ultimately from an eternal separation from God in hell. He wants to redeem you and purchase you unto Himself by His Blood. 

5 ways Jesus has changed my life

A simple life made more meaningful with Jesus in it

1. Having the assurance that I'm in for a better future beyond the grave

Understanding the Gospel that The Lord Jesus Christ has became sin and died on the cross for your sin, fully paying the price @ consequence @ satisfying the justice of God that when I have confessed my sins... asked for forgiveness turned to Jesus deciding in my life I would follow Him... believe in my heart @ cling on @ put my whole trust upon what Jesus Christ has done for me... confessing and making Him my Lord... Jesus has definitely changed my life from that point onward. I can not describe how the Good News has struck my heart that day... Being a Buddhist for years since I was a teenager I just had the revelation that Jesus is The Son of God and God Himself manifested in the flesh. I knew I found TRUTH when I made the decision to believe and receive Him into my life.

I had this heart full of joy after that and slowly having a better understanding and a greater assurance on Salvation. I began to look forward and responding to the conviction of The Holy Spirit regarding certain areas of my life and slowly throwing out hundreds of mini idol statues at home... throwing out all the books on the topic of Buddhism and just having a renewed mind about life having Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I began to see this life is temporary and short... I began to have the understanding of what I have been saved from... Hell... and knowing the Grace and Mercy showed upon my life received in His Kingdom and on my way to heaven has brought me to be humbled in many many occasions... I say to myself "This is real". Although there were days of challenges, rainy days, disappointments and discouragements, at times the assurance of Salvation is strengthen and comfort and help comes to pick me up to continue the race.

2. I became passionate about my FAITH and began sharing to people what happened to me

I remember there was this one time I actually flew across the country to meet 2 friends and began sharing to them about what Jesus has done in my life in a restaurant during dinner. I was so on fire and enthusiastic that I was thinking "I have to tell people about Jesus." I was just recently converted and transformed at that time.

Years has passed since then and I have went through so many ups and downs trying to maneuver myself through the bushes and thick jungle (one the reason being I wasn't planted in a Church and didn't have a Pastor for the first 3 years of my Christian baby walk). But once in awhile, I would have the opportunity to share Jesus to random people, co-workers, friends of friends, close friends and so on. I knew Jesus Christ is Lord and the Son of The Living God... I had assurance and I have a testimony to share.

Some of them who knew me before I was a Christian saw the changed in me... and I want to encourage you too that your sharing about Jesus to friends and families does make a difference. Jesus has changed my life and others knows that too.

Some were annoyed, some took it in a whim, some tried to make their own conclusion of what happened to me (probably throughout the years I began to have some wisdom on how to share my Faith, I would have done things differently that time if I had the wisdom I have now)... But ultimately talking about Jesus is one of my passions and I really appreciate it when another brother or sister in Christ shares what Jesus has done in their life too.

3. I've learned how to pray

1st I was baptized in water

2nd I was baptized in The Holy Spirit

Then life wasn't the same in regards of prayer. I have to say praying in immersing in the comfort of The Father, having fellowship with The Son in His Holy Spirit has been one of the foundation that has helped me to stay a Christian when pressured and questioned about my Faith... When things goes wrong and when challenges comes by... Prayer has indeed helped me go through the hard times and answered prayers has come timely to provide me for protection and guidance.

4. I began to read AND understand the Bible

It wasn't long before I had this heart and thought that "Now I need to get myself a Bible and begin to read it." This happened a few days after I received Jesus (If I could remember correctly). I began to study the Word of God and make side notes and highlighted certain verses that has caught my attention or has blessed me.

Reading the Bible helped me to understand certain sermons better and has blessed me to understand the Gospel in a better way. Not mentioning the help I get in my prayer... In comfort... and so on...

But I also have to say. reading the Bible has saved my life by making me realize the wrong turns and wrong paths I was walking upon in life... Helped me to make wise decisions and blessed me turn away from destructive habits. Having said that, it also gave me revelation and wisdom to just continue running the race as a Christian. Letting the Word of God sinking in my life and putting into action what is demanded of The Lord our God... This gave me tremendous help as I am reminded of God's Word at times when I really needed it.

5. I began to love other not with an oogie gooie kind of love but care, being kind and having a heart to serve others

It was like I had a heart of stone before and was only thinking of myself, I and me all the time... When reality hits and I was converted... It was like I was given a heart of flesh that began pumping and placed others before me. I began to serve others... help others... and show kindness to people. Jesus just gave me so much love that I just began to love others too.

Began to happily open doors for people, began to try to actually make an effort to understand others, had the heart to make others comfortable... Although I am far than perfect, but there was this changed from within me that just wanted to share the Love of Christ that was shed in my heart.

Well, that's all I wanted to share today... The Lord Jesus Christ can really help you in your walk as a Christian... If you haven't had an encounter with Jesus yet... It's worth your time, effort and life to seek the TRUTH and sincerely finding out for yourself: Who is Jesus?

What is love?

No... None of this... Seriously, I'm not gonna write something "cheesy"

Let us see a story... once upon a time...

The Holy Bible, The 2nd Book of Samuel

Chapter 13, verses 1 ~ 18

After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. 2 Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name wasJonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man. 4 And he said to him, “Why are you, the king’s son, becoming thinner day after day? Will you not tell me?”

Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”

5 So Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see itand eat it from her hand.’” 6 Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”

7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Now go to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. 9 And she took the pan and placed them out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, “Have everyone go out from me.” And they all went out from him. 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom. 11 Now when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”

12 But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing! 13 And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”14 However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.

15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”

16 So she said to him, “No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me.”

But he would not listen to her. 17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, “Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her.” 18 Now she had on a robe of many colors, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her.

"Seriously.... That's just too much... There's record of a crime of rape in the Bible??"

So this is the reality, people make decisions based on "the-love-factor" that somehow over-rides the fact that their sinful actions could bring them some bad consequences in life that they would later regret... If you were to ask a non-Christian or a non-believer... they would probably believe that rape is wrong, inhumane and it's a sin. Some of them would go to the extent to actually want these rapist to be judge under the death penalty or even die a gruesome death as punishment. 

There is a difference between The Love of God whereby God Himself became flesh... became man and walking as a Man, totally dependent of the Holy Spirit, praying in such Faith to The Father in Heaven up to the point every single prayer He has prayed was answered... That Man, is The Lord Jesus Christ. DYING on the cross for your sins, paying the wages of sin in your place... Being a propitiation for you...

"... Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once..."

The Holy Bible, the 1st Epistle of Corinthians, Chapter 15

The lust of one's heart that is often said to be "love" is often abused into something of an "excuse" to sin. according to our text, we see Amnon says “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.” Now... It's not the pure love that is to be confused when God talks about His Love. This is (in layman terms) an emotional and a-bag-of-feeling of love whereby Amnon is saying "I have this feeling of lust towards Tamar, therefore... I can't control my emotions... So, I'm gonna do as I please..." Which is blatant sin.

Often, people (even young couples) would make decisions in life based on "feelings" and "emotions" in relationships making it look like "THE POWER OF LOVE" made us do this... "We couldn't control ourselves... We both know sexual relationship is sinful... but we 'love' each other..." This 'excuse' does not justify the sinful act. In fact, lustful emotions and feelings are not to be set higher than God Almighty Himself, and this is no laughing mater. The Bible clearly states:

"... Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ..."

The Holy Bible, the 1st Epistle of Corinthians, Chapter 6

One can not make an excuse of their own sin after having a built-in conscience or even a knowledge of the Truth... If one would know the Truth about God's statues and commandments, that would be even worst... Sin will bring fruit towards consequences that are sometimes irreversible. In fact... After Amnon's crime... He was murdered... And if one would study the Bible in the same context, one would notice the reason of such sin to be birthed in the first place was rooted in a sinful act... Which snowballed to bad situations, worse and worse and worst situations to be in fact.

How should one differentiate between Lust and Love?

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails.

The Holy Bible, the 1st Epistle of Corinthians, Chapter 13

1. Love is patient (suffers long)... Amnon wasn't even close to patient... He didn't want to wait for the 'marriage' he just wanted to fulfill his lustful desires.
2. Love is kind... Amnon,,, wasn't kind... simple
3. Love does not behave rudely... What Amnon did was not only just rude... He forced Tamar...
4. Love does not seek its own, Amnon... seriously did not weigh on what the other person wanted, Tamar has mentioned about marriage that Kind David would not disagree on such matrimony... Amnon on the other hand sought for his own way of doing things... He was burning in lust... not love
5. Love... thinks no evil... What Amnon did was evil and wicked. It as wrong... it was sin.

There is always hope in Christ, God is able to help someone who is willing to surrender to Him and repent of any lust that would bring harm to others or even themselves.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

The Books of Romans, Chapter 5

One must be born again, one must be saved... one must received The Holy Spirit Whom was given to us... to be able to have that capacity of Love... To the hopeful do not be weary, because...

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

The Words of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Book of Luke Chapter 11, verse 13.

To those who are willing to repent and turn away from their sins, and put their trust unto Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior... Being submitted unto His Lordship and Authority, hence being under His Protection AND Blessing... of Peace and Joy... Having that assurance that Heaven is your home... grafted into the Children of God, having the Spirit within to be able to call God "Abba"... Unto Him be the Glory... There is hope in The Lord Jesus Christ. 

Let not your heart be harden towards The Word of God being burned in your own sinful lust... The Bible says, flee from youthful lust! I would rather offend you reader and tell you that the lust that drives you to commit fornication or adultery being confused between what is lust and what is love... that sin will be judged if it goes without repentance... God is willing to forgive you of your sins and wash you clean if you were to humble yourself... resist from hardening your own heart towards His calling towards repentance AND accepting Jesus into your heart, into your life into your very being that resonates your heart.

God is not impressed with excuses that one can not let go of lustful emotions or feeling, continuing in transgression and offending The Lord. God is not impressed with you making 'so-called-love' to be more powerful and 'feeling-right' more than the TRUTH written in His Commandments, His Word, The Holy Bible. He has prepared a rescue plan for you, to save you from your sins. It's not your fault that you were born in such a messed up world... But it would be your fault if you resist to accept the fact that you indeed need a Savior... to break away from the chains of sin. You need The Lord Jesus Christ. You need to get your soul saved from the coming Judgement.

To my brethren, let us finish the race together. Amen. 

My thoughts on the Fight of The Century

Boom!! The Pacman's combination halted by a signature straight right hand

Despite a series of advises for the people's favorite boxer from various sources even The Telegraph or even some who genuinely believed believed and had faith that Manny Pacquiao would floor Mayweather, in the end... One person is to walk out from the ring a happy man (unless it's a draw) victorious and the other... Well, would have nightmares about the lost.

To some, the defeat would be disappointing... to others, well... Boxing seems to be just like gardening and taking care of bears (it's just some-other-people's-entertainment-but-not-me kind of thingie) AND to same as well... Mayweather deserved the win and he was actually THAT GOOD against the Pacman himself (Owh, and there would not ever be a rematch).

Mayweather having 3 titles engraved with his name at the moment and still unbeaten at 48-0

Mayweather might have walked out from the battleground of modern gladiators as the victor... With a belt that is worth 1,000,000 dollars, he might as well hang that belt in his penthouse and build another house for that expensive belt... BUT... even when people say he "cemented his legacy" with that win... I have a different thought, NEITHER in favor for Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao nor Floyd "Money" Mayweather...

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

The Words of The Lord Jesus Christ

The Book of Matthew, Chapter 5 verse 18

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Jesus Christ our Lord foretells his second coming

The Book of Matthew, Chapter 5 verse 35

It's not even how great the gold Mayweather has won, or in a case where Pacquiao could have won... the gold would rot and it would by no means be lasting forever. The legacy that is thought to have been "cemented" would neither be remembered nor would it be spoken of when it comes to the time of the Great White Throne...

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.  And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

John The Apostle, final writings in Patmos Island about the Apocalypse

The Book of Revelation Chapter 20, verses 11 ~ 15

Sometimes, as Christians... we do not conform ourselves the the ways and thinking of the world... Or even the things that interests the world. We are born of God, under the reign of our Heavenly Father Whom through The Lord Jesus Christ has redeemed us to be justified by him Who is just. And He not only gave His only Begotten Son to us, He also is willing to give us The Holy Spirit if we were to ask of Him for indeed The Father would not give us a scorpion if we were to ask Him for Bread. How easy is it for some of us to lose perspective in our lives to continue walking in Christ by being distracted by the "greatness" of this world... a "legacy" that would be ending up in rot and rust compared to the eternity that we all will be heading towards one day... heaven or hell, we will all die one day if indeed The Second Coming won't happen tonight.

This is just a temporary "glory"... The Glory of The Lord, Who can quench?

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

The Epistle of Paul to the  Church in Colossae

Colossians Chapter 3 verse 3 ~ 4

And also... it is written...

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The Words of our Lord Jesus

The Book of Matthew, Chapter 6 verse 19 ~ 21

Have your thoughts and our minds renewed and transformed by the power of our God. That indeed the world is just a passing, a temporary place to be... In reality above all things, we are to live daily... Going through this life second by second... Minute by minute... Day by day... Week in, week out... months and years ahead of us if The Lord doesn't come by then. HOWEVER... this should not stop us from having our REAL reality in check.

That... as Believers, we know The Truth and The Truth is that Jesus Christ our Lord has paid fully for our sins, and He gave us instructions... commandments to live by... To Love God... To Love our Neighbors... Even His Disciples and Followers writing the epistles were crying out the the Christians to live holy... to live a life of submission towards God's Way which is not to live in adultery, not to live in fornication, not to have evil desires nor even covetousness or idolatry...  To follow Christ, our living Savior and Redeemer... King and Lord... Jesus.

His yoke is easy and His burden is light... also, the commandments of the Lord is not burdensome... It's always comes back to the question of the heart... It doesn't matter how "MUCH" you know about Jesus... the question is; are you surrendered? are you following Him? are you even willing to let Him change you?

I long for brothers and sisters to have their minds and actions in check before God... Do not be deceived and do not be in hypocrisy... Nothing is hidden before The Lord our God.

If you think the WBC Championship Title won by Mayweather would be remembered in Heaven for all the hard work put into it... I'm going to tell you that all those time of training and also the hype generated... is meaningless AND pointless to be compared to the Coming Glory of God that would be revealed unto us all forever in eternity...

To believers... Live for Jesus...

Should you commit suicide?

Last year, my friend was so close of killing himself,,, Wanted to jump from a building only to be saved by a policeman before he could even jump... Makes me realize something very real... Please do read on. I really do appreciate close friends... new or even old...

Life sucks sometimes... But... Not all the time... Remember the good memories?

If any of you are depressed in life, or even thinking of ending your life quickly... Maybe thinking there's no reason to live on. Things could change, things can get better and somehow, it's like this grace coming into your life just blessing you to turn things around in the challenges you are facing if you keep the will to move on through the storm.

Choose to live

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” - Jesus Christ -

If you're going through depression... Seek Jesus in your life and seriously, if you begin to ponder on the Love God has given you, you could be amazed on how important you are to Him and how He longs to have a relationship with you.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” - the Apostle Paul -

Sometimes, when you can't manage to solve a problem or even find a solution to anything... Get down on your knees and begin praying to God. I'm telling you this, because God cares for you. He is not a God Who doesn't answer prayer... It would be pointless to even have the word "prayer" in the dictionary if it's not even practical to actually pray. Prayer works. Prayer gets answered. and finally, at most cases... You yourself have to pray for your own situation. Because if you don't start believing God can help you when you yourself (or anyone in this entire planet) can't do anything about your own messed up situation... That's when you lose HOPE.

And seriously, He really... really... likes you

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” - the prophet Jeremiah -

Be hopeful and avoid taking the easy way out of troubles... (killing yourself in the process or killing yourself slowly by some other means), God has no evil plan or intentions against your life. He is a God who will come to your aid as you seek His Help. His Provisions and His Mercy & Grace... What father would give a son a stone when he ask for bread? How much more will God loves those who take refuge under Him?

Sometimes, you just need to throw out some unnecessary baggage in Life out the window...

Some things are better left unattended... thrown out... or even let go...
