Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple
and that God's Spirit lives in you?
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him;
for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple
1 Cor 3:16-17

Science and God
(part 2 of 4)
'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness. All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'
The student squrims on his feet. 'Yes.'
'So who created them?'
The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question.
'Who created them?'
There is still no answer.
Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.
'Tell me,' he continues.'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'
The student's voice betrays him and cracks.'Yes, professor. I do.'
The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'
'No sir. I've never seen Him.'
'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'
'No, sir. I have not.'
'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter.'
'No, sir, i'm afraid i haven't.'
'Yet you still believe in him?'
'According to the rules of the empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God dosen't exit. What do you say to that, son?'
'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'
'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'
The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own.
'Professor, is there such a thing as heat?'
'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'
'And is there such a thing as cold?'
'Yes, son, there's cold too.'
'No sir, there isn't.'

Science and God
(part 1 of 4)
'Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.' The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'
'Yes sir,' the student says.
'So you believe in God?'
'Absolutely.'
'Is God good?'
'Sure! God's good.'
'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'
'Yes.'
'Are you good or evil?'
'The Bible says i'm evil.'
The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment.
'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you try?'
'Yes sir, i would.'
'So you're good...!'
'I wouldn't say that.'
'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.' The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?' The student remains silent. 'No, you can't , can you?' the professor say. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax. 'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'
'Er... yes,' the student says.
'Is Satan good?'
The student dosen't hesitate on this one. 'No.'
'The where does Satan come from?'
The student falters. 'From... God...'
'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'
'Yes, sir.'
'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything correct?'
'Yes.'
'So who created evil?'

' Do u do things out of love for God, or out of fear?'
This is the question raised in my cell tonight... and it set me thinking... yea i like to think... as long as its not about quantium physic or programming C++...
So wats my answer? why.. im not sure... fear or love...
Fear sounds self fish to me... sounds like u hav no choice but to do it... love sounds more like u really want to do it... i guess there must be a balance and mixture of both... sometime, fear leads to obidence and love leads to sincerity... So wats the answer? not exactly answered... and i dont know... maybe ur shuld think for urself... as for me.. im going to continue to find the answer... maybe it will be revealed... maybe....

three: Plan ahead, It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark
four: Stay fit. When im 600 yrs old, someone might ask me to do something big.
five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done
six: Build my future on high ground.
seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs
eight: Speed isent always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
nine: When i'm stressed, float a while.
ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
eleven: No matter the storm, when i am with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

During world war 2, Jews were being sent to these camps by the Nazis... and theres this family that was sent to the camp larz... The father, mother and 2 brothers...
The way camp works was that, as long as u can labour, u live another day... on of the sons were actually very very young... so the father was scared about his son...
At the camp, the father and the mother were separated but somehow they met and was able to meet everyday at that spot...
One day, after the father worked and came to the meeting place, he only saw his older son weeping in a corner... he walked up and asked where is his younger brother... The older brother said that as the younger brother was weaker and was unable to work anymore... so the Nazis toke him away...
Upon hearing this, the father face changed... and he asked where is the mother...
The older son said ' Brother was crying when the Nazis toke him... Mum went to him and said "Dont be afraid, mum's with u" '....
They were never seen again... Such is the sacrifice of mothers for their children... Have u thank ur mom today on such a special day??

Another story that i wanna share:
A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.
The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God.
However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food.
The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.
After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.
Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island.
The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island.
He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.
As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"
"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything."
"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessing! s.
"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?"
"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."
For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. With obedience come blessings.
Today was quite another bad day.. not really bad... but tip to the side of bad a bit...

Once there was this man, walking along the beach. And he saw a younger man, picking something up from the shore and threwing it into the sea..This happend for quite some time so the man decided to walk and see what happened...
As he approaches the shore, he saw thousands and thousands of starfishes... These starfishes were swept up the shore by high tide... Unable to return to the waters during the low tide of the day, the starfishes were dying.. And the young man was trying to save the starfishes by throwing them back into the sea...
The man walked to the young man and spoke:'Sonny, there are thousands of them... The amt u can save is too little.. Even u manage to save a few hundreds, thousands more still die, ur wasting ur efforts... its not going to make a difference...'
The young man picked up another starfish and threw it in the waters and said
'it made a DIFFERENCE TO THAT ONE.'
