Bible

I’m struggling but I’ll carry on. I hope this is only a phase. I’m wishing that seeking the Lord this year won’t make me walk away from being a Christian for good. In my mind, I would wish that knowing Him and seeking Him will make my faith in Him stronger as ever. I’m praying that I won’t walk away from my faith. I only have half-a-year left with this journey to knowing God more.  [Read more…] about Bible Study 2018 – Week 21 Learnings

As the year passes by, I noticed that my eagerness to read the Bible is diminishing. I tend to find it too boring. I know my goal to understand Him by reading the Bible is wrong in a way that I’m seeking to learn and not to worship. But I believe that in order to worship, you need to understand so you get to feel and experience Him. I will continue to work on finishing reading the Bible. Hopefully, I’ll start focusing more on the Lord versus worldly things. I’m not doing so well so far but we’ll see. [Read more…] about Bible Study 2018 – Week 20 Learnings

Our Bible Study group’s topic for the past few weeks is about being a new man.  This means that we focus on the Christ and remove everything about our natural life (culture, race, gender, nationality, etc). This is a struggle but I believe that as I install more and more God in my daily living by reading His word and praying, I will get there. We, as Christians, will be able to fulfil God’s goals.

A couple of days ago, I shared with churchmates my struggle about my spiritual life. I confessed that I’m reading the bible with a student mindset. One comment struck me. The comment was I needed to try pray-reading. You know what? I’m going to try that. I must admit that I should be more prayerful. I’ll try that approach starting week 19.

I have been serious in doing my best to build my relationship with the Lord. Apart from the 1 year Bible plan, I have also been reading morning revival. Most of the time, I read through it and try to summarise what I read. Sometimes, I understood what I read. I wish that after I finish the Bible, I can piece it all together and get to be a better follower of the Lord. I’m continuously praying for it!

Last year, I decided to quit on my church life as I have been extremely disappointed with some members of the church. I truly embraced the usual judgment on Christians -> “Christians are hypocrites“. The worst people that I know are active in church (And they even look angelic!).  But then again, I failed to see that the most wonderful people I know are also Christians. If I’m going to compare the evil from the good, the good still outweighs the bad easily. I just realised that recently. Honestly, I’m not perfect too and I might have hurt people unintentionally.

My journey with the Lord is not always smooth-sailing.  These days, it’s really hard. I feel that I’m getting farther and farther away from Him despite reading God’s word everyday.  Somehow, when I read, I don’t feel the excitement. There’s a feeling of dread (which is really bad). But I will continue on. I will finish reading the Bible this year. No matter what I feel, I will carry on. [Read more…] about Bible Study 2018 – Week 15 Learnings

I started reading this week’s Bible reading with a happy heart. I’m just glad that I finally was able to catch up on readings!  I’m fixing my schedule to ensure that I give enough time for my reading time despite life’s busyness.  Alone time with the Lord is a non-negotiable so even if I have a jam-packed schedule, I should continue to do my daily Bible read.
