29 July; Luke 1

Luke 1:1-4

 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.
(Luke 1:1-4 ESV)

Luke opening writing to Theophilus was to explained to the later what is Christianity about, or who Jesus and his ministry is about.

It is based on
1. A compiled narrative of things that has been accomplished
2. Eye witnesses and ministers of the word
3. Himself to write an orderly account

The words or the bible is the compiled things of God, detailing the things of God and the works of Christ.

We and other fellow Christian who has taste and see that God is good and those who have seen His miracles are the eye witnesses and the minsters.

Writings, blog or as simple as speaking about God to others is giving an account.

Therefore, reading and seeking God through the words is first. How? study the word of God, but the second is about us bearing the witness for God. How?

The word of God is His story, when we encounter God, it is our story.
To the world, the personal story of our that compliment His story that make the account of and for Jesus.

So tell your story. How? I uses this blog, so I hope that I can share my story and His story so that this blog bears an account for Christ.

Lord, let your word speaks to me, let me be a witness so that my family and children will be able to read my account of you.

A visit to a Temple and My God has preserved
My mum is not a believer in God. She followed the taoist believe - the so call way and do a lot of routines on this and that occasion. I don't know why and just follow, it was kind of fun. The temple is near Pasir Panjang and the children will sneak to go Haw Paw Villa.

We visit the temple, like an outing to a zoo. It always start with a procedural routines to pray from chambers to chamber, because the gods and idols have rank.

There were fortunately 2 things that irks me. God has a plan then. The 2 things happened to have a particular young nun who showed favouritism - and that rank and hierarchy things turned me off the believe. The visit to Haw Par Villa is enjoyable, but the show case portrays that wrong doing has bad consequences. A bad person, after he.she died has to be sown into 2. That does not makes senses to me, die and die again? But it does strike fear to a young boy, who refuses to follow such a believe that offers no hope but fear because if you have tell a lie, how can that sin be taken away? As a result, wait to die have have your tongue cut off?!
