passion n purity

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists." "Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber. " What happens, is, people do not come to me. "
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

for my dear pal shoobs...........
the gospel goes like this:

in the book of John
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

** 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.

thats it..thats the gospel.. well there's more..but really tt's all u need..

for all of my friends..that i hold dearly n love plenty.. here's a gentle warning..

**18Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe stands
condemned already because
he has not believed in the name of
God's one and only Son.**

howdy frens............

karsty asked me this question once..

like why does God allow sick people or like the mentally disabled..as well as the down syndrome.. u know all these people..
u name it..the world has it.. anyway point is i found the answer yesterday!!!!!!!!! happiness.. God is good isn't He?? wow..

1As 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.
8His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, "Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?" 9Some claimed that he was.
Others said, "No, he only looks like him."
But he himself insisted, "I am the man."
10"How then were your eyes opened?" they demanded.
11He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."
12"Where is this man?" they asked him.
"I don't know," he said.

its for the cynical as well.. *smiles.. God loves u all..

n remember youth service on saturday is from 3-6pm.. u guys should really consider comin down as a group.....its gonna be fun..cheers..

=THE PASSION OF CHRIST=

dear movie goers abv 18..

i'm sure many hv watch dis movie.. anyway..many have been askin countless questions.. for example my all-time fav classmates ask stuff like :
- who the ugly-lookin baby? wads the signi?
- or.. wad language r they speaking??
- or.. wads with the white cloth n the blood wiping..gross!!
- or.. why is there such a big emphasis on Mary?? FEMINIST film?? i dun think so...

honestly i do get dumbfounded at times..althou i'm a christian..hmmm..but most of the time i'm upset.. coz the film's purpose i dun think was to start this huge controversy..

if i was a non-christian.. i would be asking stuff like... hmm..:
-what's this passion about? who's this passion for??
-who's this crazy guy called Jesus?? n y the hell did he die for me??
-or mayb.. wads with the irritating disciples??

but thats jus me.. its a good show.. mayb as humans we tend to b so cheeem we forget that the best things in life are all very simple.. like a smile :) .. cliche??..mayb..but true..

love you all!! hope u all can get to know my best fren Jesus.. smiles..

2004-06-07T13:18:00.000+08:00

heyoo

didn't go for the festival of praise this year.. wonder if any of my non-christian frens went?? how they felt about it..

i remember the first time i went..was so freaked out i left half way.. not for some spiritual reason lah..it was jus scary..everyone so enthu..then screaming shouting crying all at the same time..freaky man..that's why i really wonder wad my non-chrsitian frens think about it??

now i kinda enjoy it..the worshipping atmosphere.. best part is no one's really worried about their performance on stage.. their all doing it for the Big Guy up there..and having fun at the same time..

fren asked me once..y christians r sooooo blooody happy when they worship.. there's the spiritual side of coz..loving god n all tt..but there's also the practical side.. i mean its a kind of freedom to worship.. i mean worshipping jus puts a smile on ur face.. feelings r bothersome during worship.. u dun need to feel God.. u dun have to feeeeel like worshipping..u jus do coz its awesome..n i love it! young pple love freedom...n many find it in the Lord's house.. Jesus' Superstar!!!! woo hoo!!

the Lord reigns man..he rox my world.. ^__^ cheers to those who disagree..we r all different.. n we all hv fredom of choice yah.. i chose my Big Daddy n i've never regreted a single moment of it.. yippee..

Jia you!! esp to all hu r mugging their hearts out.. May the Force be with You!!

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
("I love you, I love you,...")

somethin' stupid

ames: i hate this song..it's so true..bleah..makes me cry..i love this song!! go listen

army: anyway i'm sick again.. told God he could bring back the flu anytime.. i shld have had faith n asked him to heal me completely.. y am i sooooo stubborn???

amy: God rules! mummy taking good care of me..brother bought me the nice pin guan cd..but i'm sick... i hate to be sick... kills my brain cellss.. ha ha..nitez..

hi all..

you know how non-christians always ask me why peeps die in accidents or like those poor things who r still born?? sad huh? yup ypu..anyway.. i have no idea why God allows peeps to die like that n its quite sad.. so to all those peeps who r searching hi n low for the answer..this is wad My God has to say about it k..subjective.. but my God rox!!

Luke 13:2-5
'Do you think that Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this way? i tell you, NO! But unless YOU repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them-do you think they were more guilty than all others living in Jerusalem? i tell you, NO! But unless YOU repent, you too will all perish.'

so yup..tt's wad my dad has to say about innocent peeps dying.. smiles.. any opposing.. no worries.. Christianity's like literature.. very different to each n every individual.. God rulez in my tiny little rule.. cheers..yawnz

big hugz to all my frens taking gp n lit tmr.. lets jump together!!

2004-05-26T17:00:00.000+08:00
