Recently...

I realized that I have been wanting to update my blog without putting it into action... So finally, i decided that I should write down some reflections.
Had a good chat with a friend lately and I think that I came across as somebody who is trying to always fix something. Do you feel that way? I.e Church. Its kind of sad if people perceives me that way because in the end, you and I are still human beings. I am definitely not obsessed with my own ideas.

Recently, I came across two schools of thought among different people. On one hand there are people like "me" seemingly trying to get church to work the way it should, believing that certain things should be done in a particular way. On the hand, some people think that as long as we are happy, and everybody is happy, why should we change the status quo? The most important is to be Christ-like isn't?

Well, in response, I believe that God gave us prerogatives. That means he laid down certain things for us to do and to carry out. I call it responsibility though the free-online dictionary calls it a privilege or a right. For example, prayer is ordained by God and he calls his church to pray. What if the church doesn't pray? Is everything well then? Of course not! We cannot simply say that if God is sovereign, we leave everything to him or live prayerless lives. We have to carry out what God intended us to do! God does what he as God is suppose to do, we as men do what God has commanded us to do, what to think or to believe.

Knowing that God is sovereign is only the foundation. Simply leaving self-correction to the idea that God is in charge is as good as not changing anything. The question we got to ask is what is my God-given role? The bottom-line is: we are here to partner with God.
