I want none of my loved ones to perish

Four men were camping outside their city, quarantined from their families and the public. Their city was under siege by a brutal army. Thousands had died of starvation, times were desperate; these men had no job, no food, no hope. Within 24 hours they came into a windfall! They stuffed their pockets and hauled away and hid food, valuables, and money. Suddenly, all four stopped and looked at one another, engulfed with a feeling of guilt. They agreed together: “our city is being decimated with starvation and here we have found a limitless supply of food and valuables; we do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we have shared with no one.”

Many Christians are in this same predicament. They have found God’s forgiveness and the treasure of salvation in Christ. They have joyfully inhaled the nutritious and satisfying gourmet meals of His word- but, they’ve not gone to much effort to share the good news! Are you like this? Have you been feeding on the blessed teachings of the BI and have been enthused by your good fortune and have appreciatied the windfall of great courses, but have kept the good news to yourself? Have you solicited others to join in on your party? Have you shared the Gospel (good news) of Christ that He came to forgive and deliver sinners from death and hell by His death and resurrection? Have you yet shared some of the precious truths you have learned lately with someone who is seeking or struggling?

Last night while lying on bed, I had a strong sense that I needed to something to help to save the lost ones. "I want no one to perish" and for the first time felt a sense a great great urgency. I cannot sit and do nothing, SOMETHING needs to be done. And I know the very first thing I need to do is to overcome the fear inside me. How? God has reminded recently that Other people's salvation is more important than my fearfulness, so I shall never fear and shall never let the words of God slip away from my mouth because of fear. In addtion to that, my almighty God is with me, whom shall I fear? What can't I overcome?

School of International Liberal Studies Opening Ceremony

We had lunch at a ramen shop near our university before attending the ceremony. It's roast pork ramen with bamboo strips and pickled vegetables in super flavoured pork stock. What was the taste? It was yummy but too be honest, the soup was salty. It cost around 9.5 aussie dollars, and the great thing was to be able to ask for double sized noodle with no cost. Did I use my poor Japanese to order? No. Interestingly, there was a lunch ticket vending machine at the door for customers to order before seating. What you do is putting money into the machine and select the food you want, instantly a food ticket will be printed out. There was a special buttom to press at any time without putting any money to print off upsize noodle tickets. This is the famous Okuma Garden Hall at Waseda University. The opening ceremony was held here. Excited and looking happy to attend the ceremony! However, I was not supposed to dress like a tourist but was expected to wear formal clothes. Luckily you cann...

What is the time? it's time for Jesus

To be honest, I always struggle to keep up to my personal quiet time with God and I guess the reason might have been that I have not realised how important God is in my life. I have not understood the importance of spending time with Him and have not truly put God's words in my heart. God is always willing to spend time with me, but I am always reluctant to give my time to Him. A lot of times, I would rather spend time on facebook, browsing through random things and waste time doing nothing than talking to the God that loves me the most. How selfish is that? Now that I have realised leaving God is the most silly and dangerous thing to do and the consequence can be serious. God loves me so much that He died for me, suffered for me but why can't I love Him with my whole heart? I can't just go to Him when I need help, but I need to give every moment of my life to Him and include Him in everything I do. So next time if you ask me what time it is, I would know that it is the tim...
