My Testimony

Source: Unsplash

I'm not as usual love sharing my testimony because it took long and I thought I won't need it so much. But, yeah, I think it's time to share my testimony. However, I won't share my testimony for long instead and I will share my testimony based on my time as shortened as possible with some questions (minimum four questions). I think it works. Well,  let's go!

  • When did you believe in Jesus?
When I didn't believe in Jesus, my life was devastated due to toxicity environments in that I was raised. I moved to another city to study college and started to live independently, I had many issues that I couldn't overcome. So, I attended the church---which actually I didn't want to get in and just waited up for a while but because I saw many people get in and I decided to get in and sat down behind---and sat down behind nearby television so I could watch the service on television. I cried when the song sang as it was really touching. Then, I went home and tomorrow had a deep discussion with the church staff about the church, Christianity, and Jesus. After that, I decided to want to get baptized and follow Jesus. 

  • Did you feel saved after getting baptized?
Actually, I felt that did, but my life is still struggling with addictions and life challenges. It means, I need some time to be consistent and try to make my path return back to Jesus, which is the only way. But, I believe that anyone who believes in Jesus will be saved and the sins will be forgiven. I want to die in the name of Jesus, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I need to show my life that becomes a Christian and a follower of Christ to the public where people do not know Jesus. That's such an important job for me to share the gospel.

  • Do you believe that the church is a good place for faith growth?
Yes, totally right. The church is a good place for faith growth but it depends on how the church itself because we know that the church isn't sometimes a good place for faith growth. Therefore, I suggest that you need to make closer and build an intimate relationship with Jesus, which is more important than the church. I'm going to never say that I'm from a charismatic church, a Baptist church, or a Lutheran church, but I'm a Christian, that the job that actually I need is to build a relationship with Jesus. That's my job, not the church's job.

  • What is the scripture that you love and consider powerful?
I think Matthew 5: 44. because this is powerful about how to pray and forgive the enemies who persecute you. Being a Christian, this is risky because people will hate you. You do not need to revenge but you need to pray and forgive the haters who dislike you. That has to be tough but we have to because we believe that Jesus is love, which is that really shows up to the world.

That's not my testimony that is over, but we need to go to testimony more! I hope my testimony will work and inspire you, that is what actually you need to have an intimate relationship with Jesus. That's really important! 

Go to have an intimate relationship with Jesus!
Go to serve the Lord!
Grow the fruit of Spirit!
Trust God's plans!
Rejoice in any situation!
Witness and experience God's love!

Hallelujah and God bless!

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

Women, Modesty, and Veiling

(Veiling of women in different era, source: Diaqnoz.Az) " I am Orthodox and I do not agree with veiling " on a comment that recorded on Instagram while posting a reel of female Orthodox veiled at a church and monastery.  I am Orthodox and I do agree with veiling . So, why? The first place, that people may think that we are "sexist" or "pervert" as controlling on female clothing appearances. That's possible because we live in a modern era which is the female rights are more honourable and important in its society. Many girls are independent raised well and having same chances of working at secularism typically careers. But, as Orthodox Christians, who we know that we are about 2.000 years living to equip our Christ looks like in the modern era, which that has been fallen down, especially rising up feminist's movement. The feminism is mainly different from what women have fought for equality gender as surely their aim is to dominate and create the &q

The Pascha, Life Bond, and SO SPECIAL! Orthodox Christianity!

Holy Fire in Jerusalem We typically celebrate the Easter - however that the Orthodox people generally saying that's Pascha - but I felt like that was so special that I celebrated the Pascha in a different Christianity tradition which was unfamiliar to myself, being to live in the country who well-known about Western Christianity. We celebrate the Pascha on a different calendar, it is Julian Calendar so many people wonder that why we are being late celebrate the Pascha and even the Christmas, a week late (between 12-13 days on Julian and Gregorian calendars) from the Western Christians. But, in certain times in history, we celebrate on the same date like 2017 we celebrate the Pascha together with Roman Catholics and it will be happening next year! The Eastern Orthodox is the holy and first church to just celebrated a blessed holy week in last week! Unfortunately, I was unlucky in that schedule as I had a five-day training during the holy week schedule, that caused I had to miss mult
