My suspicion

I get the funny feeling that couple of these people in my group may get married. Just a suspicion. No names though...

My beliefs about my Christianity.

I believe in a triune God. He is the ONLY true God. He manifests Himself as 3 distinct persons. The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit. I believe the Son came to earth as Jesus, became a man, died for us on a cross at Calvary, was dead for 3 days, then was resurrected, revealed Himself to lots (500?) witnesses then went up to heaven where He was glorified by the Father. I believe that I was justified by His death & sanctified by His ressurrection. I believe that it is now impossible for me to go to hell based on my belief in Jesus dying for my sins. I rest on that promise. I believe that I am now only on earth to do God's Will on earth & that's what I aim to do. No matter how much I sin, God will always love as He's already poured out His wrath on MY SINS so He has no need to punish me. He DISCIPLINES me when I do wrong though but it's only for my good/edification. I now live under grace, not the Law of Moses or religion. This doesn't give me the right/license to sin all I want but it makes me confident that I can ALWAYS go to my Father & own up my failings to Him & know He will receive me. I'm finally learning to love Him with my heart & I hope it continues. What say you?

The Calendar is out!

Our first calendar. It looks good design-wise. Was planning to sell it as a revenue-earner but my class hasn't caught the vision as yet. Hope they haven't fallen in the walk-a-thon.cake sale mentality church people have. Next year should b even better. look for it at a store near you!

Latoya

She seems quiet but intelligent. I hop she lives up to her potential. I've prayed about her but I still haven't gotten a full confirmation yet. Hope i made the right choice. She sems to fit in though. Will keep watching her. I like how she approaches things though. I hope her spiritual life is honest before God. Later.

Back again

It's been nearly 2 weeks since I've wrote. Let's bring u up to speed, shall we?
  1. Classes have resumed in the cell group. First 2 classes were promising. God has been here & the praise & worship has improved tremendously in 2 classes. Hope this is the beginning of real significant spiritual renewal in all of us. The dues are still unpaid though.
  2. I wasn't elected for the Youth Exec. position so I took it as a sign that my talents are not required by the Youth Department. I'm no longer going to be attending youth meetings. Nothing malicious or spoilt, just a business decision.
  3. Bible Study seems boring. Seriously not planning to return. Might try again tonight though to confirm it's ability to bore me silly.
  4. Added a new face to the roster. Her name is Latoya. Incidentally, She's the best singer in church. She seems promising too. Expecting a lot from her. Got potential.
  5. Spending a lot of time reading the Epistle of Romans. My favourite book. It's incredible. Paul was a genius! Loving it right now.
  6. Karene has finally decided to totally malice me. Her life still. Silliness will not be rewarded.
  7. God still hasn't allowed me to get the job but is providing for me financially. Shouldn't complain but I really want to work again. I feel useless & rusty! God!!!!

That's it for now. Soon continue. Probably Later in the night.

Prayer meeting.

It STARTED as a prayer meeting but God (as He has a penchant for doing) showed up and turned it upside down. Lee broke down & REALLY vented. Hagos opened up about some of his pain, Oneil showed signs of long-lost maturity, the class actually seemed to gel more that night. I finally saw some of the problems I'll have to deal with this year. God give me the grace, wisdom & strength. later.

Lost Stephen & Shana

Ironic. The once-happy couple have gone their separate ways and also left together. for different reasons, I might add. I am a bit upset that they left but it's their choice. I'll get over it. certain attitudes came up during ther resignation speeches that showed why they need to settle down in their christian life. I hope they do that soon. I'll miss them but life goes on. later.
