Listening to: Antinomianism Part 1 by Kong Hee
Just a few updates on what i've been doing these days:
Went to malacca a couple of weeks ago, went to the admiral Cheng Ho museum and walked around with dad in his meetings. It was quite an enlightening experience. The museum was built by this guy who believed in the Historical Value and history between Malacca and China. It was awesome to discover actually how incredible the Admiral's fleet was. He actually travelled around the world and discovered many things first - including the American Lands! To hear that princesses and political ties were made between the malayan lands and culture was intermixed is really really enlightening. Overall it was a good experience..and i'm glad that dad is making a good deal to bring this museum to another level. hope he gets the good commission he deserves.
But mostly, i am inspired by this Dr David who built this museum. Although he is 73 years old, he is a successful millionare and has a passion for the arts. You can call him a social entrepruneur- except he's making a difference to SAVE culture and history. Good experience :D
Anyways, we went back to Singapore just after one day.
Okay..fast forward a few days-
Settled some stuff at home, about past stuff, cleared up alot of difficulties and problems. Visited Auntie Boon and got some advice about problems and how to deal them..Oh yeah, and recently i went to City Harvest Church to hear Pastor Phil Pringle preach. (see previous post.) Incredible..bought some leadership books. its gonna be good! it's called leadership exellence. Fast foward a few days..Alison's Birthday! haha. yeah, happy 18th bday! it was fun..good experience. nice to catch up with some of our classmates.
fast forward to my thoughts..
I think that where i am right now..is a period of finding out God for myself. God is impossible to understand..but i am motivated to find out All i can. I am willing to push myself to rediscoved God as i though He was. And i came to a revelation that i have to stop perseverating about people who don't follow His law..
I mean, if we see Jesus in his ministry..
John 9:1-61As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. 4As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7"Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
John 9:16-1716Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others asked, "How can a sinner do such miraculous signs?" So they were divided. 17Finally they turned again to the blind man, "What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened."
The man replied, "He is a prophet."
John 9:24-25
24A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. "Give glory to God," they said. "We know this man is a sinner."
25He replied, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!"
He did not bother about what was DONE or what this man DID before. He did not CARE what happened to him or WHAT made him blind. Unlike his diciples and the rabbis who questioned why he was blind, who made him blind, how he was afflicted from sin and etc, and bickered over it, Jesus simply washed the blind man's affliction away.
25He replied, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!" Maybe there are people who sin all they want and do heresy against the holy spirit and God and Jesus, but what matters most is what we can do in the time that is given to us.
Don't bicker. Just heal.
I can't wait to get another revelation from God. (=
