Click here to go back Tuesday, December 4th I've been acting like a phony. All talk, no play. I wanna apologize for that. I am very good at telling everyone else what to do and how to live their lives. ...actually, I'm even good at telling me what to do, just the actual "doing" doesn't seem to work out very well... Up until now I've forgotten one very important part of "doing" things: it takes an effort. ("Duh!" Yeah, I'm stupid...) What I mean is, it's not enough to want something... For example, as you probably have noticed, I'm not big on punctuality. Sadly I've been late for school more frequently in the last few weeks. Now, if I want to be on time for school tomorrow, but do things the same way I do every morning, there's a fairly big chance I'll be late yet again... I need to change certain things so I won't be late, for example set the alarm earlier, lay out what I'm going to wear the day before, only drink one cup of coffee instead of two (only if absolutely necessary!), etc. When you want change, "wanting" it is never enough... P.S. Something I do want and have started working on is making this website bilingual, English and German. I've tried this before, but I had some trouble with the "ä, ö, ü"s (they kept showing up as question marks), so I'm really hoping it will work this time. I want this site to be in German (as well as English) because, well, I live in Switzerland, and what's the point of having a website if most of your friends can't understand what's written on it? ;-) Monday, December 10th I've made an exciting discovery. When I'm busy I don't feel it so much, but... The less I spend time with God, the more useless I feel. Anyway, I just read Matthew 25. This chapter contains three stories: Story of the Ten Bridesmaids, Story of the Three Servants, and The Final Judgment. I read the first story (one I've read and heard many times) and realized, I don't actually know what the point of this story is. I read the second one, which made a little more sense, but then after the third one I finally understood... This chapter contains these three stories for a reason. They're all about the kingdom of heaven. And they're all about how to enter in to it... Story of the Ten Bridesmaids (Matthew 25:1-13): Don't "fall asleep;" if something's not right in your life, you can't just say you'll fix it tomorrow. Maybe "tomorrow" will never come... Story of the Three Servants (Matthew 25:14-30): Don't "bury" your gifts. God gave them to you for a reason. Use them. The Final Judgment (Matthew 25:31-46): Remember to love others, even the ones you dislike the most. Because Jesus loved you first, even when you didn't (and though you still don't) deserve it. It basically has to do with whether we're really Christians, or whether, after we were saved, our life in Christ just froze at that point and ceased developing. To be a Christian it's not enough to simply call yourself a Christian. That would be like marrying someone, taking on the name of that person, but, after the wedding, continuing to live just the same as you did before... You can't call that a "marriage." In the same way, a "Christian" can't claim he's accepted Christ as his personal Savior if he hasn't given Him his whole life... Wednesday, December 26th Alright... After being back home from doing my Discipleship Training school with YWAM for more than half a year now, I finally have pics from Cambodia! The quality of some of the photos is kinda bad (they're basically pictures of pictures...), but still, maybe you can get a little glimpse of how it was like being there for two months on outreach... :-) Click here! ...and enjoy! :-) |
