Keep believing, keeping the faith alive!

Another weekend to celebrate freedom! Unlimited sleep, that is! Yes! And yet, here comes service again! I haven’t joined or attended any services for a while now. Though nothing has changed but… I’d like to remind myself again, why FAITH is vital to us.

I really wonder what happened to faith? What has gone so wrong that it has become a cliché nowadays! Is it because it had gone to over scholarly that even logic nowadays failed to explain its existence? Its allegory has failed so much that it became archaic, almost like LATIN – dead? Too much apologetics that it confuses the founding profoundness of the liturgy? Parental guidance didn’t suffice many have gone astray including them?

How sad can the world be without a glimpse of hope left in us amidst all these conditions we face? Every day we face the nonchalantly afraid someone is going to take advantage of the anxiety felt deep within. That we needed to hide everything inside, not even a glimpse is allowed. How tragic! That we cannot openly interact with people we care about because we are afraid of betrayal. May not be today, or tomorrow? Next month? Afraid of the concept of trusting because the heart is frail and is prone to be broken. Evolve into a concept of controlling the world within ours and if possible beyond ours!

Happy are those who remain, resilient in the meaning of the WORD. Need not the explanation that founded the very church because we layman often concern ourselves on our daily mussing that is too simple that needed not any scholarly lectures. Nor do the services and their liturgy fail to connect with the very lives they serve. When it should have been plain and simple as Christ taught his disciples. Even Paul, his approach to teaching is simple and direct. His letters were never alluring but direct.

How the church, trying hard to explain it scholarly but more often than not reach the heart and the soul of the laymen who yearn and long to strengthen their relationship with God. Because they focused too much on the allegory they want to create that the WORD is encoded and hard to crack.

I am glad to outgrow that concept and never be betrayed again by being impressed with their superficial arguments. When it's really just that simple. Simple as praying to God and asking for His Grace in understanding His Word. Literally, “seek and you shall find”. A phrase I so cast for 5 years in His presence asking “who” the living witnesses that lived on today and lo, yes, finally I had my answer!

Oh no! The Word of God is not dull as perceived. Not even allegorical and never a maze! Everything is written in the simplest and is very entertaining. Puzzles? Yes, for there are secrets and stories to be told. Like who is Lilith? Who is Enoch? Yes, ever true that the Word is LIVING for its lives. It is alive and full of life! Never had I been excited to know more now than ever as the adventure of CHRIST lives on! To this very day, the living witness(es) lives until his return.

Oh! For 2000 years! I wander, about how he lived through… at this age, the internet? Oh! Is he exposed and does he continues to write? What does he write about these days? Waiting for his master to return is… a bliss I continue to rejoice because no other concrete proof of CHRIST’s existence but his living witness! Paul was a special vessel but he, Jesus loved to follow is alive and will be revealed when the prophecies are to culminate. I don’t know if I will live that day but it is already at hand! Oh! This is why I loved history and continue to love reading books… Oh! The stories I told my boys about angels and giants, I couldn’t be wrong now more than ever! Hmmm. Oh, Lord! Can I with magic? Hahaha! oh! Very most interesting, together with the demons and enchantments! Oh! All of these are true! But oh, how my body is frail!

Just sharing!
