The thougth blog! It's always me sharing myt hughts with added in typos for flavor. Lol. So, I was eating lunch and realized something funny. I've been going about this whole "are catholic christians?" all wrong. The way to explain it is by the socratic method. I wont' put it here cause I think I'm going to put it in ChannelS :-P People ask that question a lot kasi. Hopefully I don't get any flack from people when I say that Catholics in the Philippines are not the same as Christians. It's a touchy issue for many, but I realized a way to explain it without people thinking I'm a fanatic.
In other news, I've gotten back to being OC with writing to do lists every day and tackling each one from the list at a time. It makes me feel like I'm accomplishing stuff while at the same time not eeling overwhlemed. I'm getting the idea that this is definitely going to be somethign that wil help me get more work done and be more productive and be more efficient for the glory of God. I mean, look at that, I got my Y-Group lesson done already and I even got my Bible study for tonight done like yesterday. It's so cool.
So here's somethign I struggle with and I think it's something we all struggle with. Being confident in preaching the Bible. It's one thing to be not confident if you don't knwo waht the Bible says. It's another to be not confident when you know full well what the Bible says and what it stands on. We must speak with authority. Why? Because we're not the ones speaking. We're the messengers who have to give God's word to the people. It's not about us being offensive, it's about "THIS IS WHAT GOD SAID." ANd telling it naman in truth and grace and in love. But if someone says, "It's okay naman to look at pornography cause, well, hey, I'm not sleeping with girls, right?" It's like, you have to stand ad say NO. This is not okay. You can't be all nice about it. You have to let the Christian know taht he is messing up. "Dude, you're trippin'." But it also doesn't mean you kick him out of fellowship. You only do that if they are completely teaching things that are wrong all the time and even after being confronted with it several times. 1 Corinthians, you know.
Well, those are my random fun thoughts. See you around!
