Lost And Found

READ: Luke 15:4-24
This my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. —Luke 15:24A Wall Street Journal article by Jennifer Saranow chronicled the extraordinary efforts of middle-aged American men who are trying to find the favorite car they once owned and loved, but lost. They are searching on-line car ads, phoning junkyards, and even hiring specialists who charge $400 an hour to help them search for an automobile that once symbolized their youth. These men want the actual car they owned, not one just like it.
Some would call their efforts frivolous—a waste of time and money. But the value of a car, like many things, is in the eye of the beholder.
In Luke 15, people who were despised by their society came to hear Jesus. But some religious leaders complained, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them” (v.2). To affirm how valuable these “sinners” are to God, Jesus told three memorable stories about a lost sheep (vv.4-7), a lost coin (vv.8-10), and a lost son (vv.11-32). Each parable records the anguish of losing, the effort of searching, and the joy of finding something of great worth. In every story, we see a picture of God, the loving Father, who rejoices over every lost soul who is found.
Even if you feel far from God today, you are highly valued by Him. He’s searching for you. — David C. McCasland
I once was lost, but now I’m found;
Praise God! Christ died for me;
He valued me, redeemed my soul;
From sin, He set me free. —Sper
Those who have been found should seek the lost.
Forever Grateful
You did not wait for me to draw nigh to you
but you clothed yourself in frail humanity
you did not wait for me to cry out to you
but you let me hear your voice calling me
and I'm forever grateful lord to you
and I'm forever grateful for the cross
and I'm forever grateful to you
that you came to seek and save the lost

23rd September 09 and 26th September 09
Its hard to believe that time flies by so fast. Both of that days I will not forget for a long time as I lost both of my church members and both of the only in the mid 50s. Hiaz.. Honestly they are still very young and can live longer how i wish. My reaction was I was very disappointed especially my church members dad because the sons have been to my church for the past 10 years and I known the eldest one for the past 10 years since I was form 5.
During the worship practice we receive a call that my other church members mom passed away the same day that we went for the funeral for another church member earlier the same day.
All in all it was a hard week for us because we have to conduct the wake service all week and we hardly ever sleep and now we have another one to conduct one night of the wake service for another church member. So on sunday we sang draw me close to you and from then we had a moment of silence to pray for them.Till now I wish i could do something more for them.
I have learned a lesson from the death of my two church members. One of them is treasure your love ones or dad/mom while they are here, when they are gone its too late(whether sick or not).No 2 for us christians we should have more urgency to pray for our friends who have yet to receive christ.

Job search
Job search is going well. I still cant understand why i am so picky...haiz. I dont really like working in small companies,there isnt many people to talk to i guess and also there is no cafeteria in the office so have to go out and eat.And also i am choosy about the environment.
But now its not the time to be so picky since the economy is just starting to bounce back and it will take time to recover. Many people around the world are looking for jobs.
My purpose to work is to get experience of how working in the marketplace looks like and next time when i do Gods work i know how to reach out to the factory workers. Now I have applied to few places. The first job interview was not sucessful but now is the next few interviews.
My wish is to get a stablize career and the rest will settle later.

Miserable day
I cant believe that i have been sick the past few days...haiz. I am so glad that i am better already. I just cant understand why that its taking up such a long time to recover. so in the end I took half the day to rest. I didnt go to an indian family's house, which my church has been supporting for Deepavali. So we ate at home and we have so much food left on the table to finished.In the end we ate almost everything on the table.

Go Beyond Reading
This will be a good bible verse to share with each and everyone.
ODB RADIO: Listen Now DownloadREAD: Colossians 3:12-17
As the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness . . . longsuffering. —Colossians 3:12
Pastor, where are the Our Daily Bread devotionals?” The words came harshly—almost in anger. The latest edition had not yet been placed in the rack outside the church auditorium. This led at least one reader to confront the pastor about their absence. Although it was not his responsibility to distribute the booklets, he felt terrible about the way this parishioner had reprimanded him for not making sure the devotional guides were there on time.
When I heard this, I was struck by the irony of this situation. Devotional booklets are meant to encourage Christian growth and godly grace. And as followers of Christ who read devotional materials, we hope we are moving toward spiritual maturity that leads to “tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering”—qualities Paul says we should “put on” (Col. 3:12).
Our spiritual disciplines—reading God’s Word along with accompanying study or devotional materials, prayer, and worshiping together—should not be ends in themselves. Instead, those actions are means to becoming more Christlike, more godly, more Spirit-led. Our spiritual practice should lead to having the “Word of Christ dwell in [us] richly” (3:16). That will show in everything we do and say. — Dave Branon
I want my heart to be in tune with God,In every stage of life may it ring true;I want my thoughts and words to honor Him,Exalting Him in everything I do. —Hess
Bible study is not merely to inform us— it’s meant to transform us

last day of work
I cant believe that 2 months of my contract is gone and how time has flown by. its time for me to start finding another job which is the hard part now. i know its hard to leave but i have to. God has provided me with good colleagues who can encourage me for the past 2 months. God has a purpose for me to leave. i am very thankful that i have good colleagues to mix with.
in the 2 months period i have learned something.The most enjoyable thing is that i dont have to always be infront of the PC but to do other things as well.
