A simple faith
I haven been blogging. haha. In a way, perhaps I am tired. Tired of trying to defend my faith with pretty big words. Tired of discussing matters of faith when I know that man's knowledge and language is too limited to even grasp what is of God. Tired of using man's language to convince people how good God is.
A simple faith, my current msn nick.
Who can truly appreciate this?
I see that quite a few blogs are coming up and they solely devoted their blog to matters of faith. Some blogged to defend, some blogged to evangelize, some blogged to encourage, some blogged to doubt, some blogged hoping to seek understanding. Which type are you?
I, too, wanted this blog to be one that discusses about issues of faith. A blog that debates about doctrines of faith. A blog that finally bring understanding to all. I started out zealous about the various debates. I read pple's controversial entries, blog about them, discusses my own doubts or queries. But then, I am finding it hard to carry on now. Perhaps my understanding or my zeal had remain stagnant. There isn't much that I can talk about that I have not talked about. Maybe i am again weighed down by the things of the world. Who wouldn't? With GSS, World Cup,... plus i just joined a online selling community, so am busy selling and buying things! Also just started to give tuition... hope to get another tuition (hj!! thanks!!) soon. Yep, guess I haven forgot that I have to earn money!
But dun worry... I dun think i am too caught up with this money-making thing yet. Things of God arE constantly on my mind. Just that I cannot find the time to really do them. ): I need to ask my mom to church for this coming week's evangelistic services!! Yet one day after next, I get caught up with stuffs that I cant find time or opportunity to be with my mom and then bring up the topic naturally! The devil is so scheming!!! Giving me so many things to be occupied with. Yet by thinking that they are all things that I cannot not do, I've already fell for the devil's ploy, haven I?
And yar, back to this blog. I haven had time for this blog too. I didnt have any new particular issues or debates or controversies that I can bring up. So i kept pushing it day after day, thinking "oh I'll read the bible or something tmr so that perhaps i'll get some inspirations abt what to write about." So, did I really? haha of course not. I forgot to ask God to inspire me instead through prayers.
And when I see other blogs with so many wisdom, discussing, debating, persuading.... I thought "Am I not growing in my faith, thus unable to write as such people?" But NO. I thank God I realised it is not so. because sometimes the more we debate, the more confused man gets.
This is precisely how the many denominations in the world came about. We think we got it sometimes but if we are really lost, how will one know it? Often, one has to see the right way first, then will he realise he has been lost all along. And often, faith is not about how you debate, how you persuade. Faith is simply knowing and trusting God.
Faith is a simple faith.
I'll continue next time. too sleepy now.
