Faith

initially i had not a subtle intention to attend the church meeting tonight eventhough i was invited by a brother from the church just minutes before the meeting would start. I was dilly dallying on the internet but with something unpremeditated like this, unconsciously i got myself ready and drove my way to the meeting hall.
straight to the message being delivered by the brother(David Vincent from the U.S.), it was regarding the burden he had for the church in Kuching which faces a temperate degradation. First he was lecturing the brothers(those who are fathers in their family) that it is important to love their child and let them be involved in the church life. Fathers of the family are like generals and mothers are like sarjans.
After lecturing the brothers(fathers), he consequently moved on to lecture the youths. The deadliest threat to all youths are their friends. According to 1-Corinthians 15:33, 'do not be deceived, evil companions destroys good morals'. This verse really took me by gesture. Evil companions lead us to all sort of deadly threats.
Not to be missed out, mothers are also being lectured. He asked the mothers to select between a PhD from havard or a full-time training for their children. When he asked if they want their child to obtain a PhD from havard, no one raised their hand. Then he asked if anyone would like their child to have a full-time training? only a few raised. Unhesitatingly he replied, 'you are all LIARS'. Those who didn't raise their hands meant they want their child to have a PhD. Having their child to have a PhD is like offering their child for education instead of church life. It doesn't mean that they should give up education but in the same time church life comes first. Offering their child to education is like offering their child to Moloch(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molek)
The problem with most humans is that they live by sight not by faith. We believe in what we see.
Therefore, we must have faith in God.
Faith is the sustentation of god-man living.
Have faith in whatever we do.
