INDONESIA BLOG: WELCOME WORLD TO MY BLOG

Thank you for your time visiting this blog. This blog is set for all kind of Christian (real Christian, false Christian, apostate Christian, fickle Christian, etc). Everyone is welcomed here.

For you who aren't Christian but want to know about Christianity we welcome you too. But you, who'd like to vilify Christianity, please go away!! You're not accepted here. Usually, people who like to vilify other religion/beliefs, know only a little of his/ her own religion/ beliefs.

How he/ she criticize other people's religion while he/she is not settling/ only know a little about his/ her own religion? Learn your own religion/ beliefs first. If you've already memorized your whole Holy Bible and you've done all what God's order, I believe you'll not vilify other people's religion anymore.

In this blog I learn to write about Christianity. Articles, story, papers, etc. This is my first time, so I hope you'd understand if the contents of this blog still in disarray. You know, learning needs process and we must keep learning till God's call is come.

To be Christian means to be Jesus follower. To be Christian is not same with to be a person whose religion is Christian. Religion is set by human whereas Christ follower means the person is directly chosen by God to be His follower. About the process how someone is chosen by God, nobody knows. Everybody has different encounters/ experiences with God. Someone could meet God at his room, at worship time or revival occasion, in church or even in the bathroom.

Someone will change his/ her whole life after he/ she has personal encounter/experience with God. It could happen slowly or instantly. For instance : someone who usually very lazy to go to church, pray or read the Bible, after he/ she's touched by God this person become the most diligent one to go to church, pray and read the Bible. Change 180 degrees.

God is Personal. He loves to stay close/ contiguous with His children, but His children love the world with its flesh desires more. That's why a verse says: Let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature.

There are many kinds of Christians with various level of Christianity. Christian by generation, Christian by ID card, Christian by married, or become a Christian because often been given food/ money, Christian by hatred, or not satisfy with his/ her previous religion/ beliefs, heresy Christian, deviate Christian, true Christian, showing off Christian, etc. About what Christian are we, only we & God knows? Usually people value or judge the outside performance only but people hide their identity behind their mask

We often hear about someone who loves Jesus previously then because of his/ her love to another flesh which will end be eaten by worm, then he/ she betray God.
Or in contrary, someone who was a street kid before .........and wow! now, he/she become an evangelist in hinterland, serving uncultured tribal groups.

Some arrogant people say that they've served God for years. But if we ask them whether they ever speak with God or not they will look at us as an insane people... There are people never want to go to church or read the Bible or join a Bible study ...suddenly...become the closest people to God. They deliver God's message which they received directly.

Now, let's be introspective, what kind of Christian are we??

You and I can know it by seeing our relation with God. Our God is not a dead God. Our God is a living God, because He can talk to us. So, to classify what kind of Christian are we, look at our relation with The Creator.

This is what Bible says as '... a saved secret for centuries....’. God gives His Spirit to us. Only we are (Christian) who can have a direct relation with God, because He lives in us. God is ‘Spirit’, so something that could relate with God's Spirit is our spirit. When we encounter with God at the very first, God gives us a 'new spirit'. And so with this 'new spirit' we could have relation with Him.

In other articles I'll write about how we could have a direct relation with God.
