The Bible says ...

The fool says in his heart,

"There is no God."

They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;

there is no one who does good.

~ Psalm 14:1

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

~1 Corinthians 1:18

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

~2 Corinthians 4:4

The Man God uses

The Man whom God uses is someone who ...

Prays

Has faith in Jesus Christ

Gives God the glory

Is a man of the Word

Is willing to suffer persecution for Christ

Is filled with the Holy Spirit

Is born again through believing in Jesus Christ

Is bold in his witnessing for Jesus Christ

Is wholly submitted to God

Is led by the Holy Spirit

Is uncompromising

Is obedient to Jesus Christ

Is a good steward over the things that God has entrusted to him

Is faithful

Is willing to be used

~This post is dedicated to all the brothers in Christ who has came and stayed through the Fridays 6am bible study.~

DIY Car Enthusiast

Living in Utah for the past 1.5 years has shown to me that I definitely cannot do without a car. Cars are an extreme important commuting tool for everyone in Utah and also the entire United States. The simple reason is this country is too huge. Therefore, I can understand a program on TV which says that we are addicted to gas. No matter what the price of gas per gallon cost us, we may complain but will still go ahead to pump.

In handling my mustang, I have learnt a few tricks along the way like changing air filter, topping up engine coolant, changing oil filter and engine oil and other stuffs. I must say that it can be pretty fun along the way as you know your car better and better.

Here is one great website (at least to me) for reading up all about maintaining your car: http://www.carbibles.com. Hope that for everyone out there who owns a car, you can find this website to be valuable to you.

Prayer Requests for 9.9.09

All my brothers and sisters in Christ out there, please pray for me in these pointers:

1. My Parents and cute sister’s salvation in Christ.
2. Relocation to a new rental place as I will be moving out of my current location at the end of my current lease.
3. Visa Status as there may be some hiccups along the way but anyway let us watch where God will place me next…
4. My mustang will be ‘obedient’ through this coming winter. He has been good last winter.
5. Being the facilitator for the 2^nd half of “The Truth Project” in Calvary Mountain View church since Roger has ‘deserted’ us to attend Sunday services. ~haha~

Thanks and you can keep me updated on things to pray for you too!

Waiting in the Weeds

Written by Don Henley & Stewart Smith

It's comin' on the end of August
Another summer's promise almost gone
And though I heard some wise man say
That every dog will have his day
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long

I don't know when I realized the dream was over
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
You know, it didn't go down in flame
There was no final scene, no frozen frame
I just watched it slowly fade away

And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keepin' to myself
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
Even though you're with somebody else
He'll never love you like I do

I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
If finding love is just a dance
Proximity and chance
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade

And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
Back roads running through the fields
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
You're at the county fair

You're holding hands and laughing
And now the ferris wheel has stopped
You're swinging on the top
Suspended there with him

And he's the darling of the chic
The flavor of the week is melting
Down your pretty summer dress
Baby, what a mess you're making

I've been stumbling through some dark places
Now I'm following the plow
I know I've fallen out of your good graces
It's alright now

And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
Wild birds scattering the seeds
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
The phases of the moon
The chambers of the heart
The egg and dart of small gray
Spiders spinning in the dark
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keeping to myself
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing
Even though you're with somebody else
He'll never love you like I do
