Recharged

I'm fully recharged. =)

Last night, we went to hotel istana where the conference was held. The worship was very very good, the dance team from Taiwan performed and all of us danced a long. The presence of God can be felt as everyone was so filled with joy. Next, the pastor from Taipei preached his sermon, EXCELLENT! That was one of the best sermon I've ever heard throughout 7years of christian life.

I shall summarize what the pastor preached about. Here, it might not sound as good and as funny as what he had conveyed.

"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it useful again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world-like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." Matthew 5:13-16

Every nations have their own laws. In Singapore, you can't eat chewing gum. So, you might try to eat as many as possible in Malaysia before arriving at Singapore. In Muslim countries, the Muslims are allowed to marry 4 wifes. But if you ever break a law, you will get punished. Every law on earth that is broken has its own penalty. However, Jesus tells us that if we follow the law of the bible, we shall receive its blessings.

We are salt of the earth. The bible didnt tell us to become the salt but we are the salt. This is through the new life Jesus had given to us. Think about it, which parents on earth is willing to sacrifice their own child for something else? God, because of great His love of us, had given us His only Son to save us, can u sense how great is His love for us?

As Christian, we know that the Lord's coming is near. Are we supposed to keep on thinking about the judgement day and worry about it? The bible tells us that we should live today to the fullest. It's about today, not tomorrow. As we live everyday of our lives as salt and light, we will not not tremble when we are judged by the Lord.

What does the bible mean when it says we are salt? If you are a cook, you know how important salt is in cooking. Without salt, the dish will not taste good no matter how much expensive and tongue-licking ingredients you add. Salt is the primary source to cook tasty dishes. It can change a tasteless soup into one yummy soup with just a few drops. That's the great wonder of salt.

We Christians, do we change the world or let the world change us? Do we affect the people around us or we let them affect us? We should be the salt no matter where we are, what professions we are doing, we should let the others taste the difference with Christians around them.
