A Love Teaching, Everything That Puts in Hard Times

"And He called the twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases." Luke 9: 1 NIV

When I was stuck and trapped in hard times, I always thought about how eleven of Jesus Christ's disciples faced death punishment in their ministry countries and still many martyrs who died for witnessing Christ. Jesus Christ crucifixion and died for our sins, then He is risen and met 12 disciples, then commanded in Matthew 28: 16-20. The twelve disciples went to Asia and Europe to minister the Christ, it made Christianity was so fast growing up in Asia and Europe despite some countries who have a dark history, especially Japan in the 16s century. Christianity is the most persecuted religion every year despite Christianity being still the most religion in the world. Many Christians died for their faith, but they never put up a fight in 1 Thessaloniki 5: 15.

"Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else." 1 Thessaloniki 5: 15.

I have to admit Christianity has a dark history of spreading Christ in a wrong way by violence and it was about political ambition. They weren't a Christian I know. Importantly, Christians have never put up a fight, wrong for wrong but wrong for kind and love, despite they are put in hard times and persecution 

Love teaching is strongly to love each other who persecute you in Matthew 5: 44. Many people think Christians should fight for their faith, but we are never, and we have to love them of any persecuting us. A church is destroyed and burned, but we are still fine and pray for the church destroyers. It reminded a Christian mom who lost two sons due to terrorism, but she still forgave the suspects. It made me cry and touched how strong a Christian mom still loved and forgave despite her lost two sons.

Love wins everything and believes in His promises, that's why we believe in love teachings in Christianity. It sounds senseless if you aren't a Christian, but we believe it sounds makes sense. Willing to die for Christ and take up the cross, making everybody accepts Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. Everybody will know that Christianity is a good religion about love teachings. That's a reputation we take up and show up in the world. Everybody needs salvation through us, Christians, which I don't know if can be in person or out of in person. I've been listening to the testimony about how to accept Jesus Christ and feel God's presence. It is strong and very touching, and that makes me proud to be a Christian. I definitely suffer but I still walk in the faith of Jesus Christ. I walk by prayer and praise Jesus Christ. I meet a Christian fellowship who puts God in their life and believers make me feel at home and learn from each other. I have to be grateful that meeting my favorite pastors and best friends changed my life and committed to following Him in my life. Thank you, the Lord, for not giving up on me when I had a problem and for guiding me on the right path through the Holy Spirit.

Being Christian isn't easy as my friends said, I know because I have experienced suffering. I'm okay to lose everything I have because only Jesus Christ, whom I believe in and surrender for (1 John 2: 15 and Exodus 14: 14) and Galatians 1: 10. I fight for temptation, lust, persecution, and many I face by understanding Jesus Christ's sacrifice. I believe in His promises and timing is more perfect than mine. That's a way I love Jesus Christ in my life. 

Love wins everything and believes in His promises and timing is more perfect than yours!

The Idea of Feminism In the Church

A veiled woman lighting up a candle in the Orthodox Church, source: Adobe Stock Roman Catholic Pope Francis appeared a 60-minute on CBS's live-streaming interview with a female reporter, Norah O'Donnell. She was curious in a question towards on him,  " I'm curious, for a little girl growing up Catholic today, will she ever have the opportunity to be a deacon and participate as a clergy member in the church ?" Pope Francis simply, saying, " No ." O'Donnell seemed to trying to push on him about her idea of the progressive and reformation in the Catholic Church. But, thanks God, Pope was strong defending his faith.  This is a 60-minute interview has opened that in fact the pressure of the church reformation has been increasingly happening today. We heard that some churches trying to allow its LGBTQ movement within church life, like the Unitarian church. And, I think some churches have accepted the female ordination, but usually it is Protestant church b...

How Christianity View Generation Z?

Source: Asbury Revival 2023, Cincinnati Enquirer I spent the weekend working and playing on a PC/ computer. I learned and watched about Asbury Revival which went viral in Wilmore, Kentucky. Approximately 15.000 attendances worshipping at a university, any sources tell. Which were mostly college and high school students. That was goosebumps! Felt like "Wow, America is back on the right way!" and "That's nice." Generation Z, where somebody who was born around the 1990s to 2000s, living depends on technology and that is called the modern era. We have cellphones, tablets, Instagram, Twitter, and laptops, and we depend on technology the most. I heard that is also called Millennial Generation. We have easier access than the previous generation. I'm one of this generation. I depend on technology since I can't live without them. As you do and exactly, you can't live without them, aren't you? Well, we will learn about how Christianity views Generation Z. ...

Happy Sunday

Source: Unsplash Sunday is the off day for people who are rested from working and going to college/ school, but Christians still must be going to church to worship Him and get welcomed every coming to church, "Happy Sunday! God bless you!" after serving, they are going to have fun and have lunch/ dinner. It is a great day and wonderful! I love Sunday! I received holy communion (again) and sang beautiful songs at a church. Besides, I did a virtual service on Youtube and an in-person service at a church on that day. I felt overwhelmed since I usually would go to two services on the same day, and I love Sunday. Why must be Sunday? I do not know but the explanation does exist in the Bible.  " So, God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that He had done in creation ." Genesis 2:3 Genesis 2: 3 is well-known as Sabbath and it's part of 10 God's commandments in Deuteronomy 5: 12. Jewish people also worship on Sabbath,...
