Oh, how I love Pandora :D Anyway I received my first Christmas present already, it's cool, but isn't it abit too early? And I bought some Christmas presents for my friends last night and it's still half-done (:

Since I'm on the topic on Christmas, anybody got any plans from Christmas eve to Christmas day? :D Call meee!

Today I woke up with an urge to help find out the answer to this question asked by E.

How do you know God exists? (well, something to this extent)

Because fakgjljioaerjuioersjgigjobarfuieofafeeagdghbtoaef (: I found some answers on the Internet but it wasn't satisfying (at least to me) , so I shall continue to search until I'm satisfied or rather until E is satisfied (:

Christianity is about a relationship between you and God and He is everywhere with you. And if that's the case, why must it be that only going to church means that you are a devoted Christian?

An interesting question I came upon this morning. It's true that some people go to church every Sunday and only becoming a Christian on Sundays. Well, these are the Sunday Christians, and it doesn't necessarily mean that they are devoted Christians right?

On the other hand, it doesn't mean everybody is like that. What's more, before that, we have to ask a question. What is a church all about? A church is about nurturing Christians. Therefore, even though the relationship is about you and God, we need older and more matured Christians to help with our journey with Christ.

By spending time with other Christians, we become encouraged in our faith and realize that we’re not alone -- whether we’re facing struggles or experiencing joys. We also need other Christians around us to “keep us in line” and help us see where we need to grow and what behavior or ideas we have that might be damaging to our faith. Thus, going to church does not prove your devotion, rather it's more about fellowship which means spending time with other Christians and having teaching from other Christians to remind us of truth and stimulate our thinking, which will help us grow in our faith.

This is just how I feel, these answers are not, I repeat, not model answers but it's the best I can come up with. Please tell me if it's wrong or anything and I hope this have helped anybody who had this in mind.

I love the person who questioned about this, that's why I wanted to try my best and answer it. Please tell me if you think otherwise about what I've said above, because I think (and hope) you know who you are (:

And if it helped you, please tell me because it'll make 5000 times more happy :D

hey sharyl! it's not easy to explain about God to others. But i truly believe they will come to understand someday. He will pull us through. There will be a new generation rising! haha. therefore, all we can do now is to PRAY PRAY PRAY! we have even fasted yesterday so i don't believe God wouldn't work wonders! yes, it may take YEARS, but they will definitely be saved!!

remember, having FAITH as small as a mustard seed will reap big harvests. afterall, in the bible it is shown that He answers those who show him great FAITH. haha. takecare!(:
