Friend Of God
2008-01-23 02:18:00 Today's Scripture “Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God’s friend” (James 2:23). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria The All-Knowing, All-Powerful, Creator of the Universe wants to be your friend today. He wants to walk with you and talk with you and share life with you. That’s why He created you—first and foremost, for fellowship. It’s as simple as opening your heart of faith to Him. If you have faith in God today then, just like Abraham, you are God’s friend. And the Bible says that God is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. That means He is faithful. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He is with you always. He is mindful of you—that means He is always thinking of you. What an honor and privilege it is to be called God’s friend! Let that sink down into your heart today. The next time the enemy tries to tell you that you are alone in this world, or that no one else understands what you a... More About: Friend
Renungan Mengenai Sangkar Burung
2008-01-22 04:38:00 Suatu masa, ada seorang pria bernama George Thomas, seorang pastur di sebuah kota kecil di New England . Pada suatu Minggu pagi,hari Paskah, ia tiba di gereja dengan membawa sangkar burung yg sudah karatan dan penyok-penyok, dan meletakannya di altar. Orang-orang pada keheranan dan, seolah-olah menangkap rasa penasaran orang-orang, Pastur Thomas mulai bicara...."Saya sedang berjalan-jalan sekeliling kota kemarin dan melihat seorang anak laki-laki berjalan mendekati saya sambil mengayun-ayunkan sangkar burung ini. Di dasar sangkar ada tiga burung kecil dan liar,menggigil karena kedinginan dan ketakutan. Saya stop anak laki-laki itu dan saya tanyakan, "Ada apa di sangkar itu, nak?""Hanya beberapa burung biasa" jawabnya."Apa yg akan kau lakukan pada mereka ?" tanya saya."Bawa pulang ke rumah dan menggoda mereka," jawabnya."Saya akan menggoda mereka dan mencabuti bulu-bulu mereka supaya mereka saling berkelahi. Saya pasti akan menikmati saat itu.""Tapi kamu nanti akan jadi ...
No Eye Has Seen
2008-01-22 04:30:00 Today's Scripture “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him” (I Corinthians 2:9). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria Have you ever tried to imagine what God might have in store for your future? No matter how great the dreams are that you may be able to come up with, God has more in store for you than you can even begin to imagine! It’s starts in this life and then carries over into the eternal life. God is a creative god and His thoughts and plans go way beyond our thoughts and plans. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined what He has in store! Let that encourage you today to dream bigger. Get your expectancy up. There’s nothing that you can come up with that is beyond God. He wants to see you rise higher and it starts with your thinking. Think bigger. Think expansive. God wants you to excel and go beyond where you are. He wants to see you fulfill the desires of your heart! Keep standing st...

Cinta Ini Milikmu Mama
2008-01-21 02:33:00 "Rosa, bangun.. Sarapanmu udah mama siapin di meja."Tradisi ini sudah berlangsung 26 tahun, sejak pertama kali aku bisa mengingat tapi kebiasaan mama tak pernah berubah."Mama sayang. ga usah repot-repot ma, aku sudah dewasa.", pintaku pada mama pada suatu pagi. Wajah tua itu langsung berubah. Pun ketika mama mengajakku makan siang di sebuah restoran. Buru-buru kukeluarkan uang dan kubayar semuanya, ingin kubalas jasa mama selama ini dengan hasil keringatku.. Raut sedih itu tak bisa disembunyikan.Kenapa mama mudah sekali sedih? Aku hanya bisa mereka-reka, mungkin sekarang fasenya aku mengalami kesulitan memahami mama karena dari sebuah artikel yang kubaca.. orang yang lanjut usia bisa sangat sensitive dan cenderung untuk bersikap kanak-kanak. tapi entahlah.. Niatku ingin membahagiakan malah membuat mama sedih.

He Will Do Great Things
2008-01-21 02:29:00 Today's Scripture "Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things” (Joel 2:21). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria God wants to do great things in your life! Notice this verse starts out by saying “fear not.” Fear is a barrier to the promises of God. The Bible says that whatever does not come from faith is sin, or missing the mark. Don’t ever let fear be a factor in the choices you make in life. If you make choices because you are afraid of something, that fear will block the blessing of the Lord in that area. Overcome fear by meditating on the promises of God’s love and goodness. Perfect love casts out all fear. When you understand the love of God, you have nothing to fear. You know the Lord will do great things! Let that sink down into your spirit today. Meditate on this verse and declare it out loud every day. As you study God’s Word your faith will grow and fear will be gone from your life. You’ll know his love and you will experience...

Dua Jam Di Alam Maut
2008-01-20 05:01:00 Kisah nyata ini sudah terjadi kira-kira 5 tahun yang lalu, tetapi karena ada salah seorang teman saya yang di dalam Kristus membicarakan topik ini, saya jadi rindu untuk menceritakan kembali dengan harapan ini semua bisa menjadi berkat buat kita semua.Kedua mertua dan ipar-ipar saya tinggal di Sydney, Australia. Papa mertua saya mempunyai kebiasaan membersihkan taman belakang tiap seminggu sekali. Beliau menyiangi rumput dengan menggunakan pisau yang berputar seperti cakram (saya lupa nama alat tersebut). Jadi cuma pegang sticknya, pisaunya otomatis membabat rumput itu sendiri. Pada hari naas tersebut, tiba-tiba ada batu yang menonjol sehingga pisau tersebut kena batu dan patah berbalik ke arah Papa dan memotong paha kanannya cukup dalam. Sebelum jatuh pingsan ia sempat berteriak panggil mama mertua (waktu itu lunch time dan di rumah nggak ada siapa-siapa).Puji Tuhan setiap lunch time adik ipar saya selalu pulang makan ke rumah karena perusahaan tempatnya bekerja hanya 10 menit dari...
Inspiration Today - Hati-Hati Di Jalan
2008-01-19 05:07:00 Dari kejauhan, lampu lalu-lintas di perempatan itu masih menyala hijau. Jono segera menekan pedal gas kendaraannya. Ia tak mau terlambat. Apalagi ia tahu perempatan di situ cukup padat, sehingga lampu merah biasanya menyala cukup lama. Kebetulan jalan di depannya agak lengang. Lampu berganti kuning. Hati Jono berdebar berharap semoga ia bisa melewatinya segera. Tiga meter menjelang garis jalan, lampu merah menyala. Jono bimbang, haruskah ia berhenti atau terus saja."Ah, aku tak punya kesempatan untuk menginjak rem mendadak," pikirnya sambil terus melaju. Prit!!! Di seberang jalan seorang polisi melambaikan tangan memintanya berhenti. Jono menepikan kendaraan agak menjauh sambil mengumpat dalam hati. Dari kaca spion ia melihat siapa polisi itu. Wajahnya tak terlalu asing. Hey, itu khan Bobi, teman mainnya semasa SMA dulu. Hati Jono agak lega. Ia melompat keluar sambil membuka kedua lengannya. "Hai, Bob. Senang sekali ketemu kamu lagi!" "Hai, Jon." Jawab Bobi, tanpa senyum."Duh, ... More About: Inspiration , Today
Menara Api Di Tengah Kegelapan Dunia
2008-01-19 04:58:00 Mahatma Gandhi pernah berkata bahwa jika setiap orang Kristen hidup sesuai dengan ajaran Kristus, maka tidak akan ada orang yang tidak mengikut Yesus di India. Pernyataan ini merupakan satu tantangan bagi setiap pengikut Yesus apakah di India ataupun di belahan dunia yang lain. Bagi kita yang mengetahui apa yang terjadi di dalam gereja, di antara orang-orang Kristen, seringkali kita hanya dapat menangis saat melihat kualitas kehidupan orang-orang yang memanggil diri mereka Kristen tetapi tidak ditemukan ciri-ciri Kristus di dalam diri mereka. Tetapi syukurlah, walaupun jarang tetapi terkadang masih dapat kita menemukan bintang-bintang cerah yang bagaikan menara api di tengah-tengah kegelapan lautan dunia ini.Pada tanggal 23 Januari 1999, seluruh dunia, bukan saja umat Kristen dikagetkan apabila koran-koran utama memberitakan tentang seorang misionari, Graham Staines bersama kedua putranya, mati apabila mobil mereka hangus dibakar massal. Peristiwa ini terjadi di Orissa, India tempat...
The New Has Come
2008-01-09 19:08:00 Today's Scripture “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17) Today's Word from Joel and Victoria As a follower of Christ, you are a new creation! You have a new spirit, a new walk, a new life! Are there “old” things in your life that you are trying to get rid of? Maybe you have old behaviors or addictions that you want to change. Remember, the new has come. It’s a new year and it’s time to be the new you. Let this year be the year you break old habits and addictions. Let this be the year that you move forward into a new life of victory. And your new life includes all the spiritual blessings the Lord has promised in His Word. You have a promise of peace. Health. Protection. Provision. Be encouraged today and know that no matter what is happening in your life right now, you can embrace the new life God has prepared for you. Make the choice today to leave the old behind—leave behind old behavior...
Expect Good Things
2008-01-09 19:02:00 Today's Scripture “Surely goodness and loving-kindness will follow me all the days of my life…” (Psalm 23:6). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria What are you expecting today? Are you expecting to rise higher in life? Are you expecting good breaks? Are you expecting goodness to follow you everywhere you go? If you are expecting to get the short end of the stick, your own wrong thinking will keep you in mediocrity. Remember, God will meet you at the level of your expectations. Pay attention to what you are thinking about and make the choice to believe God for good things. Every day, imagine there are blessings, favor, increase, and promotion in your path. They already have your name on it! It’s just a matter of time before you come across them. Start confessing everyday “Something good is going to happen to me today.” Stand strong when trouble comes, knowing that your best days are ahead. Believe that God’s blessings will overtake you!

Aku Bersyukur
2008-01-08 03:13:00 Mendengar anggota keluargaku ngomel-ngomel dirumah,berarti aku masih punya keluarga yang utuh.Merasa lelah dan pegal linu setiap sore,sebab itu berarti aku mampu bekerja keras.Membersihkan piring dan gelas kotor setelah menerima tamu dirumah,karena itu berarti aku dikelilingi teman-teman.Pakaianku terasa agak sempit,karena itu berarti bahwa makanku cukup kenyang.Mencuci dan menyetrika tumpukan baju,sebab itu berarti aku memiliki pakaian.Membersihkan halaman rumah, membersihkan jendela, memperbaiki talang dangot,karena itu berarti aku memiliki tempat tinggal.Duduk kembali di kantor,berarti masih ada perusahaan yang mau memperkerjakan aku bahkan perusahaan masih mampu membayar gaji setiap bulannya.Mendengar nyanyian suara yang fals,karena itu berarti aku bisa mendengar.Mendengar bunyi jam alarm dipagi hari,sebab itu berarti aku hidup.AkhirnyaAku perlu bersyukur mendapatkan dan bisa membaca tulisan ini,itu berarti aku masih dapat melihat.
He is the Deliverer
2008-01-08 02:57:00 Today's Scripture “A Righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all” (Psalm 34:19) Today's Word from Joel and Victoria No matter what “troubles” you may be facing today, God has promised to deliver you! And notice this verse doesn’t say He's going to deliver you from “some” of your troubles — “if you say and do everything perfectly.” No, if you are righteous today, God promises to deliver you from all of your troubles. How do you know if you are righteous? When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, when you accept His forgiveness and believe He is working in your life, then you are righteous. Your faith and belief in the goodness of God is His righteousness at work in your heart. The Bible says in Romans 4, that “Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness.”If you are facing troubles today, expect that God has a way of escape for you. Expect that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf...
1000 Hari Sabtu
2008-01-07 05:25:00 Makin tua, aku makin menikmati Sabtu pagi. Mungkin karena adanya keheningan sunyi senyap sebab aku yang pertama bangun pagi, atau mungkin juga karena tak terkira gembiraku sebab tak usah masuk kerja. Apapun alasannya, beberapa jam pertama Sabtu pagi amat menyenangkan. Beberapa minggu yang lalu, aku agak memaksa diriku ke dapur dengan membawa secangkir kopi hangat di satu tangan dan koran pagi itu di tangan lainnya. Apa yang biasa saya lakukan di Sabtu pagi, berubah menjadi saat yang tak terlupakan dalam hidup ini. Begini kisahnya. Aku keraskan suara radioku untuk mendengarkan suatu acara Bincang-bincang Sabtu Pagi. Aku dengar seseorang agak tua dengan suara emasnya. Ia sedang berbicara mengenai seribu kelereng kepada seseorang di telpon yang dipanggil "Tom". Aku tergelitik dan duduk ingin mendengarkan apa obrolannya. "Dengar Tom, kedengarannya kau memang sibuk dengan pekerjamu. Aku yakin mereka menggajimu cukup banyak, tapi kan sangat sayang sekali kau harus meninggalkan rumah dan k... More About: Hari

Tunjukkan Kasih Sayang Selagi Sempat
2008-01-05 05:28:00 Ada seorang pengusaha muda yang pagi itu terburu-buru berangkat kantor karena ia bangun rada kesiangan. Sementara pagi itu ia ada meeting dengan rekan bisnis-nya. Karena terburu-buru, ia tidak sempat menikmati sarapan pagi buatan isterinya. Ia lalu memutuskan untuk mampir ke sebuah toko untuk membeli roti sebagai ganti sarapan pagi. Pikirnya, "Nanti roti ini dimakan di kantor saja".Ketika ia sedang memilih roti yang hendak dibelinya, matanya tertarik mengamati seorang anak kecil berusia kira-kira sepuluh tahun yang sedang memilih bunga di toko sebelah. Anak kecil ini terlihat sedang tawar menawar harga bunga dengan pelayan toko tersebut."Mbak, harga bunga ini berapa?" tanyanya kepada pelayan toko."Lima puluh ribu rupiah", jawab sang pelayan.Kemudian ia memilih bunga yang lain dan bertanya kembali, "Kalau bunga yang ini berapa?" . "Ini lebih mahal lagi, seratus lima puluh ribu rupiah!" jawab sang pelayan."Kalau yang ini berapa?" tanyanya sambil menunjukkan bunga yang lebih bagus lagi...
He Withholds No Good Thing
2008-01-05 05:11:00 “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless” (Psalm 84:11).What do you need from the Lord today? Do you need peace, provision, guidance? The Word of God promises that no good thing will He withhold from those who walk blamelessly before Him. Now you may be thinking, “Joel, I’m not perfect. How can I have a blameless walk?” The Good News is, when you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you automatically have a new walk. The past is erased in God’s eyes. And sure, you may make mistakes but I John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” When you repent of your sins and receive God’s forgiveness you are cleansed and your walk is blameless. You have to understand that God wants to pour His favor and honor on you. If you feel like there is anything in your life that you need to be cleansed fro... More About: Thing , No Good , Holds

God is at Work
2008-01-04 04:25:00 “We thank God continually because, when you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of man, but as it actually is—the Word of God which is at work in you who believe” (I Thessalonians 2:13 NIV).When you receive the truth of God’s Word in your heart, it automatically takes root and begins to work in your life! You may not always see it right away. You may not always feel it, but know that God began a good work in you, and He is faithful to complete it. When you are faithful to receive His Word, it opens the door for Him to work. The Bible tells us that the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. That means, if there’s any confusion in your life, or if anything is unclear, the Word of God will divide the truth from the lies. The Word of God will direct you and light the path you should take. The Psalmist talks about loving the Word of God and making it your meditation night and day. I encourage you to fin... More About: Work
Remain in Him
2008-01-03 09:55:00 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5 NIV).Have you ever thought about the relationship between the branch and the vine? We don’t use these kinds of word pictures very much anymore, but think about it--if the branch is not attached to the vine, it withers and dies. The branches’ very life depends on it being attached to the vine. The same thing happens if we try to operate in this life without Jesus. Without Him, we can do nothing. We are cut from our life source. But when you remain in Him, by daily connecting with Him through prayer, worship, and study of the Word, then your life will be fruitful. You’ll walk in joy and blessing. I love that this verse says “much fruit”, which means you will have an abundant harvest in your life. God doesn’t want you to just barely get by. He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness. Remain in Him today. Choose to make Him top pri...
You Can Choose to Be Happy
2008-01-03 04:28:00 I recall a few years back, I felt depressed. I had a million problems! I had conflicts to deal with, a few storms in my Catholic community, plus a number of personal trials as well. To top it all, my dandruff was getting worse and my pimples are erupting again.I prayed, “Lord, are you sure you want me to continue preaching and writing? I know I’m good-looking (depression has a way of making me hallucinate), but shouldn’t You have picked someone much holier and wiser and more loving?" As I poured out my grief before God, and as I felt His tender comfort, a crazy question popped in my mind: “Bo, give me five reasons why you should be happy today.” “Happy ? Lord, how can I be happy at a time like this?” But the question remained lodged in my brain, and I couldn’t give it up.“Well,” I mumbled, “my five reasons for being happy are lovely Lily, se...

*Mengeluh*
2008-01-02 05:54:00 Sebuah kata sederhana yang mungkin jarang kita gunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, tetapi seringkali kita praktekkan langsung baik secara sadar maupun tidak sadar. Beberapa waktu lalu saya berkumpul dengan teman-teman lama saya. Seperti biasanya kami membicarakan mengenai pekerjaan, pasangan hidup, masa lalu, dan berbagai macam hal lainnya.Setelah pulang saya baru tersadar, bahwa kami satu sama lain saling berlomba untuk memamerkan keluhan kami masing-masing seolah-olah siapa yang paling banyak mengeluh dialah yang paling hebat."Bos gue kelewatan masa udah jam 6 gue masih disuruh lembur, sekalian aja suruh gue nginep di kantor!", "Kerjaan gue ditambahin melulu tiap hari, padahal itu kan bukan "job-des" gue", "Anak buah gue memang bego, disuruh apa-apa salah melulu".Kita semua melakukan hal tersebut setiap saat tanpa menyadarinya. Tahukah Anda semakin sering kita mengeluh, maka semakin sering pula kita mengalami hal tersebut. Sebagai contohnya, salah satu teman baik sa...

But you have to do your part first. Your part is to be a faithful tither and to be obedient to the Lord with your finances. See, we are all stewards over the resources God has given us. When we are good and faithful stewards, the Lord entrusts us with more of His resources. He opens the windows of heaven. Have you ever thought about what kind of blessing would be so great that there would not be room enough to receive it? It may be hard to comprehend, but that’s what God’s Word promises.

I Am What God Says I Am
2008-01-02 03:40:00 Have the words and opinions of other people caused you to water down your dreams? One of the most important things you can learn is that other people don’t set the limits for your life. Other people don’t have to believe in you in order for your dreams to come to pass. There will always be critics and naysayers. The negative voices come at everyone. But other people don’t determine your destiny, you do.The Apostle Paul says in Romans 3:3, “What if they don’t believe? Will their lack of faith make the faith of God of no effect?” This verse is saying, “It doesn’t matter if other people don’t believe. Their unbelief is not going to keep me from believing in my dreams.” When God puts a promise in your heart, it’s not up to other people to bring it to pass, it’s up to you! You don’t need everyone to validate you. You don’t need to get confirmation from all your friends. You have to follow the voice of God for yourself and allow Him to order your steps. God see...
Surat Dari Yesus
2007-12-29 08:26:00 Untuk semua,Seperti yang kamu tahu, kita semakin mendekati hari ulang tahun-Ku. Setiap tahun ada perayaan kehormatan-Ku dan Aku kira tahun ini akan sama.Selama masa ini banyak orang berbelanja kado, banyak pengumuman di radio, iklan-iklan TV, dan di setiap bagian di dunia semua orang membicarakan ulang tahun-Ku semakin dekat. Saya sangat senang mengetahuinya, setidaknya setiap tahun sekali, orang-orang memikirkan Aku. Seperti yang kita tahu, perayaan ulang tahun-Ku sudah di mulai beberapa tahun yang lalu. Pertama-pertama orang-orang nampak mengerti dan sangat berterima kasih untuk semua yang Aku lakukan untuk mereka, tetapi kali ini, tidak seorangpun tahu alasan perayaan. Keluarga dan teman-teman bersama-sama dan bersenang-senang, tetapi mereka tidak tahu arti perayaan. Aku ingat tahun lalu ada perayaan kehormatan untuk Aku.

2007-12-29 02:52:00 A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and out of the cold.The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers.He walked up to a policeman and said, "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you ? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight.Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay.""God sends miracles everyday. We just have to train our eyes to be aware of them"The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, "You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in."So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, "John 3:16." The lady said, "Come on in, Son."She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old f...
