The narrow and the wider

Two paths lie before me, the narrow and the wider.
The narrow leads to life, the wider leads to death.
Then there are life and there are death, both lies on the thin line of choice.
Then there are choice of the paths, between life and death.

The choosing of the narrow path, is hard and demanding.
The choosing of the wider path, is easy and enticing.
The choosing of life, is truth and freedom.
The choosing of death, is agony and pain.

Now does the narrow means life not death,
and the wider meant death not life?
Why the narrow and not the wider,
or death not life?

Is life better? Of course!
Is the narrow path easy? Not!
Is death scary? Sure!
Is the wider path the way? No way!

So the narrow path which leads to life equates discipline and hardship,
and the wider path which leads to death equates fun and more fun.
Why choose the narrow path over the wider?

Well, the narrow leads to Jesus.

The Declaration of Our King

The declaration of our King

Oh God, how precious are Your Words, for Your everlasting love endures forever. The smile on the face of the saints, with songs of praise, the hymm of worship, unto the King of Grace, the stiring of the spirit, cry out the declaration of His fame.

Oh God, how comforting are those outstretch hands, for Your grace is more than enough. Your words bring life and truth, to all who need to see and hear, the refreshing of the weary and tired, along the journey of the narrow path.

Oh God, how great are Your destiny, intended for those who walk on the path of righteousness, for You strengthen the ankles and wraist to the finish of the race. The renewal of passions and joy brings restoration to the broken-hearted, as Your plans unfold over men and women of the faith.

Oh God, for You are the Lord and Savior of man, for Your salvation are for all who are willing to come. The eternity You want to give, through Your grace and mercy, intended for Your sons and daughters, whom You love and treasure.

So the old will be gone and the new will come,  the young will see and the old will dream, as His glory unfolds before our eyes, so all will bow and worship our King.

Uniting Churches

In 2000, a report states that 33% of the world population claims Christianity as their belief. Of the 33%, there are 34,000 Christian groups identified. The reason for the seemingly huge number of Christian groups is that many do not recognised itself as part of any mainstream denomination.

Someone once said that Christianity is the most un-unified religion in the world. Church splits are common mainly due to the reason of differing Theology. No church/ denomination/ movement will ever claim that their derived theology is wrong. For each, it is absolutely right, others are wrong. Each groups has point out the flaws of others and reasoned why their own theology are correct.

So is it ever possible to unite Christianity together despite differing theology? Haven’t anyone recognised that our interpretation of scriptures aren’t perfect? Why do we keep arguing over whose theology are right or wrong and not wholeheartedly focus on the needy, the poor and the sick?

I love and believe in the Word of God of which theology are derived. I believe that theology forms the basis of our living and belief. But I hate the fact that man condemned each other and bad-mouth each other in the name of God and His word.
