Story
Cerita – Satu, Dua, Tiga, Empat

Satu
One

கடவுள் (Kaavuḷ)
Tuhan
God

Dalam Dunia ini ada satu Tuhan.
Kita tengok langit yang cantik macam dalam gambar ini, kita tahu ada satu pencipta yang buat semua ini.
Macam tadi kita nampak ada pokok and epal dicipta
Ada satu Tuhan yang sangat cinta kita.

2 (iraṇṭu)
இரண்டு
Dua
Two

வழிகள் (Vaikaḷ)
Jalan
Ways

Tetapi, dua, apakah itu dua?
Kita ada dua jalan. Satu ialah jalan ikut Tuhan, satu lagi ialah jalan yang bertentangan, jalan yang salah.
Kita ikut jalan yang salah, kita minum, mahu banyak wang, rokok, juga nak bunuh diri.
Kita ikut cara sendiri. Oleh itu, kita punya jalan sudah jauh, semakin jauh dari jalan Tuhan.
Walaupun kita cuba lari ke Tuhan, tatapi tak boleh kerana
Tuhan adalah suci / bersih, dan kita adalah kotor kerana buat banyak kesalahan.

3 (mūṉṟu)
மூன்று
Tiga
Three

நாட்கள் (Nāṭkaḷ)
Hari
Days

Macam mana? Kita ikut jalan salah dan semakin jauh dari Tuhan.
Kalau macam ini, kita akan mati dalam kesalahan kita.
Tetapi bukan macam ini kerana Satu Tuhan yang benar sangat cintakan kita.
Tuhan menghantar anak Dia Yesus Kristus untuk membantu kita.
Bila kita buat salah, kita akan terima akibat / hukuman.
Tetapi Yesus telah menanggung / mengantikan kesalahan kita
Yesus mati di atas salib untuk menerima hukuman kita
Tetapi ini bukan ketamatan kerana Yesus Kristus bukan sahaja mati tetapi
Dia telah bangkit / menjadi hidup selepas tiga hari
Oleh itu, kalay kita percaya kita punya hidup akan menjadi baru, bermakna dan gembira
Yesus Kristus adalah satu-satunya jalan untuk kita balik ke Tuhan yang mencintai kita

4 (nāku)
நான்கு
Empat
Four

முடிவு செய் (Muivu cey)
Membuat Keputusan
Decide

Kita sudah tahu 1, 2, 3
Apakah 4?
Empat ialah kita perlu membuat keputusan
Kita perlu percaya Yesus Kristus sebagai penyelamat dan Tuhan.
Dengan ini, Yesus boleh selamat kita
Membantu kita mengikut jalan yang betul kembali ke Tuhan

Sekarang kita sudah tahu cerita 1, 2, 3, 4. Saya ingin membuat satu doa kepada Tuhan Yesus untuk menerima Tuhan Yesus sebagai Penyelamat and Tuhan kita. Kalau siapa mahu/ingin, boleh ikut saya cakap dalam hati:

Tuhan Yesus, saya memerlukan Engkau. Saya membuka hatiku and menerima Engkau sebagai Penyelamat and Tuhanku. Terima kasih kerana maafkan semua kesalahan yang telah saya buat. Tuhan Yesus, membantu saya jalan ikut jalan Tuhan. Saya berdoa dalam nama Yesus Kristus. Amin!

Think Hard Stay Humble - Francis Chan

Desiring God Conference
Think Hard Stay Humble - Francis Chan

How do you prepare yourself before you speak?
- Think about God being in the room that you would like to please Him
- When you are nervous probably because there is sin your life because you are thinking about a person, pleasing that person

7 Questions Before You Speak
1) Am I worried about what people would think of my message or do I concern about what God thinks
2) Do I genuinely love the people

How hard do u think abt people?
When is the last time you wept for the lost?
Grow in the knowledge of God and as well as the loving of people
Knowledge is essential but not sufficient
Humility is about thinking about others constantly

Conclusion
Some of you have been studying Christ for years (thinking hard), but does your life look anything like his?
Can you say like what Paul says imitate me like I imitate Christ.

The Bible and the Ballot


6
To conclude, Christian have no problems being Jesus-like whist joyfully preferring Panasonic air-conditioners over LG ones. Similarly, there’s no reason why churches can’t remain non-partisan in nature whilst encouraging their members to vote in a better government. The pulpit, as much as the public square, can be a place to name names.

9
What is democracy? For many of us, it simply involves having periodic elections to decide which political party forms the next government. Yet, democracy is more than just elections. It involves the existence of a space which allows for people to freely debate on public issues and government policies as well as present alternative ideas without the fear of repercussions. Indeed, the health of a democratic society is dependent on the existence of such a space.
10
The Printing Presses and Publication Act (PPPA) 1984, however, seriously curtails media freedom in this country. The PPPA, which covers all forms of foreign and local printed media, gives discretion to the Ministry of Home Affairs to grant or revoke the publishing licenses of local newspaper.

14
The Police Act 1967 requires a police license for any public assembly, meeting and procession. The police can refuse to grant a license when applied for and, if the license is granted, they can impose certain conditions or revoke it at any time. Without a license (or when the conditions attached are breached), the police can stop the public gathering and order its dispersal.

17
In the case of the Selangor state government, it tabled a Freedom of Information bill in July 2010 to the state legislature to make all state information bill in July 2010 to the state legislature to make all state information accessible to the people. This is a move in the right direction in view of the traditional position taken by the federal government as well as the previous state government who kept such information locked away like ahoarder who cannot part with what has been amassed even if it is useless.
