Today is a Blessing

It's Sunday! And I went to church ! I totally forgot that there was a holy communion today which was why I attended my usual sunday school class at Korem (Komisi Remaja). Today's sermon was presented by Laushi Stellaria Teguhsukmana. The title was Hidup Menjadi Kesaksian. She was such a good speaker and she brought the sermon in such an interesting way that I could not stop writing down notes. In this sermon, she told that we should restrict out flesh wants (keinginan daging--> internet, comics, novels, other glorious stuffs) to achieve a better life. Hearing this was just like a smack in the face, I had just spent 8 solid hours last night editing this blog of mine!

Hikmat Firman Tuhan
Ingat Status
Dunia dan Daging
Usaha saksi
Prinsip dasar

Anyway, she showed us this mousetrap video. watch it!


So the illustration above was about a mouse being allured to the scrumptious cheese trap and ended up dying with a broom stick. In reference to this illustration, Laushi Stella explained that we were like the mouse getting attracted to the cheese, addicting stuffs like : internet, tv, movies, games; and we did not realize that these addicting yet fun stuffs might actually affect us in a negative way. Like for instance, playing games too long would result in our eyes getting damaged. These are just minor addictions. What if those addictions were like drugs, pornographies, cigarettes, and other dangerous addictions. They might led to even bigger causes like: diseases (cancer, HIV/AIDS), pregnancy and even deaths. 

Another video she showed us was about a bullying ad. watch it below! 


From this we should know that action speaks louder than words! The blonde guy did not utter a single word to the poor frail ginger boy. He painted his blonde hair red to match the bullied boy as a way of defending him from the bullies! This video really was touching! Bullying should be stopped!

Later that afternoon, I also attended a seminar by Reverend Reggy Andreas. Another interesting sermon! About why Jesus is an ideal example for people to follow him. I am going to explain it in brief. So here it goes.

Jesus as the Son of God descends from Heaven down to Earth, being born as a man (as a baby first of course). Over the years, He grew physically, mentally and was loved by the people around him. He had a good relation with God as well as the people. Not to mention that all His years of living was spent in a really good way.He was a really hard worker. By the age of 30, He was crucified.

It was a 2.5 hours seminar and I was not bored at all! The reverend presented his sermon in a funny way!

Today is such a blessing!
