只願意做個像耶穌的男人

不願意當個懦夫

只願意當個英雄

一個真正的男人……

會看重順服過於祝福

會愛神，不神世上的榮華富貴

會獻上全人，而不是只獻上什一

會聽道加上行道，而不只是聽道而已

會去改變世界，而不是被世界改變

會堅持真理，而不是妥協真理

會拒絕懷疑，堅持相信

一個真正的男人……

不事奉瑪門，只事奉父神

不憂慮吃什麼喝什麼

只憂慮自己是否懶得不救靈魂

不會積儹財寶在地上

只會積儹財寶在天上

不會嫌神的標準高

只會嫌自己的標準低

不依靠頭腦知識，只依靠神的智慧和大能

不為自己而活，只為了更像耶穌而活

一個真正的男人……

會接受以上的挑戰和自我改變

而不是找藉口不改變

一個真正的男人……

會說：「太難了，但靠著那加給我力量的基督，我凡事都能做。」（腓立比書四章13節）

Devotion

It isn’t hard these days for Christians to get caught up in the avalanche of confusion, hopelessness and doubt that is consuming our world. We like to think we are immune from this, but the sad truth is we are just as capable of falling victim to these counterfeits as a non-believer. God calls us to resist. He provides all that we need to be the light in the darkness surrounding us. Yet there is a tug of war going on in our hearts as the needs of our humanness take precedence over the needs of our spiritual nature. If you find yourself in this place today, do not fear. Turn your eyes to the sufficiency of your God and start pounding on His door for restoration and revival. We must also keep praising Him - even when our knees are bruised and broken from praying. Somehow we must take a stand – first in our hearts, minds and bodies – that we are children of God - and as such we are to reject hopelessness, confusion, rejection, confusion and despair. We need to see beyond the circumstances of our lives and instead look to the glory of our God. We need to see things as He sees them – and we must stop giving darkness, in any form, authority over our lives. I acknowledge it is not easy – war never is – and we are in a war! But, victory is a payer on your lips and a shout of praise from your heart. It attracts the attention of God Himself and causes Him to move. If you stay locked in hopelessness, etc. you are simply prolonging your time in the desert – and therefore will not be able to step into the true potential God has prepared for you. War in prayer against anything set against you – get in the company of other believers who will hold you up and also hold you accountable. This is not the time to be faint of heart! Step into the fullness of Christ by resting in His ability to provide for you!

What is Life?

What is life about? Wealth? Fame? Status? Material? Enjoying your life whatever you are interested in at the moment? Or you could say family first... But, all these shall becoming past sooner or later. Our heart, deep inside, is still hungry, don't we?

Reborned

It was 6 months since my last update. What had I been doing？ Haven't die yet, instead I had have born again, a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are becoming new.

Sicked Bee

My Bumble Bee are having fever recently, high temp, but not everheating yet.

So today I open up the radiator and check, then only I found that I forgot to put

in this, Water Wetter from Redline. After poured in, I drove around to heat it up. 

And the fever is gone. But the meter gauge need a fix cause the needle keep fluntuate

between high and the actual temperature, scares me sometimes,  mood swing...I think

Bak Kut Teh

This is a "Black shop" or "Oh Tiam" in 

Hokkien. Specifically the Bak Kut Teh stall.

The aunty greet with a smile and look kind at

first. I ordered a 2 persons bowl, so after a while

she sent, and as usual I would pay first, but

she was so "kind" and said:"Eat first, pay later"

I thought, ok loh. The soup is ok, but the meat

is too lean. Well I'm not too picky about that 

either. And the aunty keep asking want to 

add rice? Luckily I didn't.

After the meal, I walked to the stall and ask

for the price to pay. To my shock, RM 18 !

Well if it's in Klang or KL it's ok, but this 

is just a road side food stalls with nothing famous

about. Then i asked her why so expensive, it is 

then her true personality showed, waving for

money from me and said : "The rice already 

cost RM 6,   what would you expect?" WTH?!

The 2 small bowls of rice cost that much. 

Just to warn you it's located along Jalan Pasir 

Putih near the junction to Pasir Pinji. Go try

if you want to.

the notes, while some needs my guidance.
