At tonight's bible study, Anton talked about 1Corinthians 1:26-31 and it was an amazing message and a blessing. One of the points that really stuck out to me were those five types of people in the passage that God chose to fulfill His will....which are the total opposite of the world's standards. God chose those kinds of people to put the wise to shame and He reveals through their service that, yes He can still use those kinds of people for His glory.
He also touched upon Isaiah 48:11 which pretty much states that only God can have the glory and there is no one that can ever "share" it with Him. It's about the MESSAGE [Jesus Christ] and NOT the messenger. The reason why there is church growth is not because the pastor can do all these things or has traits that make people want to attend, but it's because of GOD and His presence and His glory being done within it.
Man, that was a great message from God through Anthony =].
Other good news!
So my Kuya called my mom and me today and told us that the Navy is totally willing to pay for our family to go to Korea! He's going to go into work and ask if it's exclusive only to family or if he can have other people go too, but maaaan, I am SO willing to skip a week of school to visit my bro. It'll be the week of Sept 21-25, so I'll already be a couple weeks into the semester, but if it's all paid for, then I don't want to miss the opportunity! It sucks enough that he might not be able to visit during the holidays, but this makes up for it =]. I really hope he can visit at least in January....so he can visit the church and friends! Praise the Lord indeed.
MORE good news!
Happy B-day again to Christian! Hope you guys had an uber time at disneyland! Also! My coworker sent me an invitation to a surprise Birthday/Baby Shower for my boss on Friday around noonish....so there may not be VBS work on that day.. =/. I'm still debating......
Some ALRIGHT news!
My song data base for the guitar has expanded a little ever since I borrowed a capo! Yayy. Well, even without it, I learned some other songs....like....Came to My Rescue! And...Great Light of the World by Bebo Norman! And......others! =]. Just need to practice! and practice! and learn how to sing good. =[. I'm only singing to myself anyway, but it would be nice...o well. I also ordered a new 8GB flash drive to replace the one I lost! Yayy...it's just a tad bit more than what I paid for on Black Friday....but..it'll do. **update! I was playing along with the songs on the guitar...and when Son of God came up from Hillsong, I actually got the chords right by listening to it!! Yayy! Probably not a big deal....but it is to meeee!!
OKAY! Back to other things!! I'm excited for tomorrow maybe! And friday kind of! And saturday of course!
p.s.
