Energy Input = Energy Output

Serving the church is the common things that we always hear lately. Gotong-royong in church, hold a position in ministry, lead a prayer etc. Many peoples response positively when their service is needed by the church. That is good. It is a good sign that His followers are uphold " We are the Church" concept.

But the problem is when the call is coming, always the same face, same person to give response. Why???? [start scratch your head now] What happen to other people of the church????? When we go to the grass roots, we can see most of them afraid to serve the Lord. Main reason was their service might not be satisfy. No experience la katakan.. Some give time constraint reason.

Another problem is some people love to serve but mau minta puji. They want their names to be well known in the society. Buka cerita sana, buke cerita sini. There also lay peoples love to serve but always do not walk the talk. Always critised here and there. Give idea but do not help implementing the idea.

We do understand that some of us have our own business and own agenda. But, remember WE ARE THE CHURCH. It is not a burden for Christians to serve and give some energy output to the church. God has give energy input to us through our daily bread. Serving the church give us more understanding in our journey of faith. Serving with a sincere heart make us feel near to the Lord. Serving the church also will make the brotherhood sense in Christ getting stronger. We can gain more experiences when we are willing to learn from experts in church services.

As a conclusion, do not afraid serve in the church.

Ascension of Jesus

Yesterday, 21May 2009, Christian celebrated the Ascension Day. The day when Jesus ascended to heaven in the presence of his apostles following his resurrection and that in heaven he sits at the Father's right hand. In Gospel of John, it refers Jesus returning to the Father in heaven. Christ's ascension occurs in the original Nicene Creed, a touchstone of Christian orthodoxy since 325.

It is affirmed by Christian liturgy and, in the West, by the Apostles' Creed. In terms of belief, the Ascension implies Jesus' humanity being taken into Heaven. The canonical account of Jesus ascending bodily into the clouds contrasts with the gnostic tradition, by which Jesus was said to transcend the physical realm and return to his home in the spirit world. It also contrasts with Docetic beliefs, by which matter is intrinsically evil and Jesus was said to have been pure spirit.

The Ascension edicule

The place of the Ascension is not distinctly mentioned in the Gospel of Mark. Luke 24,50 states that the event took place in Bethany while it appears from Acts that it took place on the Mount Olivet (the "Mount of Olives"), since after the Ascension the apostles are described as returning to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day's journey. Tradition has consecrated this site as the Mount of Ascension.

The Ascension rock, inside the edicule, said to bear the imprint of Jesus' right foot.

The Greatest Man in History
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.


Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.


Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer


He had no army, yet kings feared Him..


He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. ?
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ
Sculptured from metal by a man near Amarillo, TX. ?
The crosses are made of metal also.
The man did this out of the kindness of his heart.
Someone donated the land
On which to erect them.
