The Real Sacrifice














The Lord is their strength, And he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
Stated in the book of Psalm 28:8.
This was the bible verse I pondered upon my witness to the courage of these people as they exalt God amidst the adversities of their situation.
They fit themselves into this very small room, a living room of one of the member of the church who voluntarily shared their resources in the fulfillment of the purpose which is to spread the gospel of Christ.
They have a limited number of chairs to cater every thirsty soul that seeks for peace and salvation through God's help and sovereignty.
They can hardly read every text in the Bible because of the blurriness of the vicinity,if they only have a light to illuminate the room, they could better understand what the Bible wants to convey.
I deeply admire every member of this congregation in their courage to continue to serve God considering the difficulties that they have to experience just to listen to God's message.
They proved that the absence of material things could not hinder them in their strong hold to God. They have shown their unwavering Faith to God that despite of the struggles they have to experience they are true and faithful and left everything to their mighty creator.
I saw their willingness to listen to the word of God, to change and be a good citizen, neighbor, brother,sister and a family. And if our individual vision is to live a safety society then it is something to work for, to influence everyone be righteous and believe God then it is not impossible to achieve.
And if you are capable of doing something to lessen the burdens of these people, then let God touch your heart to find a way to stretch your compassionate hands for these people.
GOD BLESS!

    The members of this house service are usually garbage collectors, or those who are able to support living from the garbages.
    They can hardly raise funds for chairs, Electric Fans and even light.

Fireproof: A Reflection

Fireproof A Reflection The book of Psalms 18:28 said, “For you will light my lamp; the Lord will enlighten my darkness.” For all the verses I know in the bible I believe this was the one who can best relate on the film, Fireproof. The film, as what I have understood, is a story of a couple caught in a complicated situation of their marriage. Misuderstanding, miscommunication and misadjustments worsen their situation. The woman who feels being unappreciated and the man who doesn't feel validated at home were left facing a dilemma between to pursue a divorce or to find a chance to regain their marriage vows. Then heres the father of caleb( Kirk Cameroon) who challenged him into a 40 day love test, that could possibly make atonement of the lost appetite of their marriage. Then he accepted the challenge and tried to do the things listed on the book, although a response isn't visible on his embittered wife he still continued. and they end up realizing the 'till de
