net died on me afew seconds ago. heh.

"But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,"
-Titus 3:5

Jesus came to give life, but not just life but life more abundantly. amen?

The bible has the word give in at least 1366 verses in the bible and has many instances of giving.

give in the oxford dictionary is to let someone have something. the keyword is let which means to allow freely.

often, we ask you to give your lives to Jesus ya? so we are asking you to give freely. why do we ask you to give freely? so u may receieve life and life more abundantly. amen?

brainwash on the other hand in the oxford dictionary means to force a person to give up one set of ideas or beliefs and accept new ones. the keyword here is force which means to make someone obey.

so giving and brainwashing are contrary to one another. one represents freedom of choice while the other, no freedom at all. therefore, if Christianity is one about giving. How can it be a forceful doctrine? How can it be brainwashing?

anyway. i m quite happy. one more blessing, one more personal best.

so i said a little prayer
and hoped my feet would take me there...

amen! 232 cm. best ever jump. praise the Lord man.

thank God for the favour of men again. very encouraging to have ppl coming up to you and saying they ll vote u or support u. thanks to all u guys out there!

long weekend is here. FINALLY! heh. praise the Lord.

no more late homework, no more ponning lectures, cus i wanna shine for You and let those around me believe that truly all good things work together for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. That we shall be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath.

give the Lord a big hand!

bleh. i m hungry for pasta and the word too. only rheuma flavoured. heh.
