Persistence

Mismanagement on the containment of Corona Virus and spreading of armed conflicts in different part of the country has brought darkness and despair to the civilians. Economic downsides has push the civilians to commit crimes and some would give up their lives and commit suicide. It is sadden to see and feel the pains and struggles of the people. 

 

But the bible gently reminds us to continue doing goods “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 

 

There is a Hope on reaping what we sow in due season. Assist others who are in need of water, food, shelter and care. It will never get wasted. Therefore, let us bring light in this darkest hour through God’s guidance.

Unseen world

No one would deny the fact that people are living in a Business world. Starts from morning till the night, one either sells or buys goods or services. In the morning, one wakes himself/herself up with clock or phone which one has bought. Then, one takes a breakfast and pay for transportation fees to reach the destination. At work, one has to sell his/her services. At school, one has to buy a service. At night, one has to rest on a bad which one bought. So, one cannot really separate oneself from this world. Even for a monk who live one life with donations has to buy things for his/her personal needs at some points. Thus, Karl Marx states that people are living in a cog of the economic machine.

In this Business world, Money is god. It is very attractive. It punishes and inspires people as well. It needs to be loved. If one does not love it and try one best to find it, it immerse one in the ocean of poverty and suffering. It can even kill people. One is inspired to do anything for this god. It does not leave one alone even the person does not know it. Either one notices it or not, likes it or not, believes it or not, the person is affected by it.  

It sets the standard of morality as well. For those who have much will be praised, respected and regarded as successful person in this world nowadays. The person would be treated as a god. Things are made to be use for a while and irreplaceable. Thus, now people does not like long relationship nor if it breaks up, they do not want to fix it but replace the relationship with new partner.

One would argue, there are good things about this god. Yet, it is more harms than goods.  

And there is a God who loves people so much that He send His only begotten Son to be with us.

Community

Salvation occurred in the community. For there is One who gives and one who receives. 

Thus, Salvation itself is communal.

It does not seek oneself alone. It is not self centered. 

 

 

Spirituality Vs Action

Spirituality without Action will bring you nowhere.
Spirituality with Action will bring you growth. 

Lord help us

It is stated that there must be clear cut theological understanding of Peace, Justice, Mercy and Truth!

Is Jesus Peace, Justice, Mercy and Truth?

Could we have an clear cut understanding of Him?

Work Work Work!

Paste of Work

Work has no end. Every living human being has to work at least to cover their daily survival. Thus there is no one who would disagree with this statement.

But, what kind of work one should choose? How much effort or time one should put in the work? These are the questions that most people struggle with. Here, the author has no intention of discussing on the kind of work one should choose but to explore the one’s paste or effort put in his/her work.

Some people argue that it is best to work as fast as one can to finish as soon as possible. It really releases the stress and one can proceed with other works, they added. You can achieve many works. Thus it is best to work as fast as one can.

Some believes that one should take much time for whatever work one is doing. Then the work will be produced professionally. It would be perfect. If one does not take long hours, the work that he or she produces will have many errors. Subsequently, the person has to revise the work and it will have been taken much time.

In between these two groups, the author would like to suggest that one should have proper understanding of his/her work. What does one really want from the job? What are the successes is he/she looking for? Once the person can identify it, the person should set a proper time frame. Within its time frame, the work should be placed. The time frame should be set according to the importance of the work. If it should be perfect, one should place long hours. If it is less important, one should not spend too much time on it. Having understanding of the how the work can be done also help to finish the work.
