So many television programs, so little time to watch them. Apparently that's what our culture thinks, because now technology allows us to see an hour-long program in just 6 minutes or less! The Minisode Network has pruned episodes of popular series into shorter, more convenient packages for interested viewers. "The shows you love - only shorter" is how it's advertised. All to make our life more convenient.
Some have tried to make the Christian life more convenient. They choose to practice Christianity on Sunday only. They attend a religious service at whatever church makes them most comfortable. They give a small offering and are nice to fellow churchgoers - nothing that requires much effort on their part. That way they can have the rest of the week to themselves, to live as they please.
That would be a convenient Christianity. But we know that following Jesus is a lifestyle and not a Sunday-only convenient. Being a "disciple" calls for giving up our lives for Him (Matt. 16:25). It's about living as Jesus calls us to live, daily giving up our plans and purposes for His. A relationship with Him causes us to be concerned with our thoughts, decisions, attitudes, and actions - all to make our life joy-filled for us and pleasing to God. - Anne Cetas
The Christian life is more than just
A prayer of faith made in the past;
It's dedicating every day
To live for Christ and what will last. - Sper
Faith in Christ is not just a single step but a life of walking with Him

I had became a Christian for almost one year... yet I am still like a newborn baby in Christian life... It is time for some changes... I guess...
However, I could not join all the events in church... due to transport... and family problem... Anyway, I will try my best to go church...
I think of changing a church... change to a closer to my house one... but, is that means everything will change? ... transport problem may be improve... but, is my heart there?... my godmother told me not to simpl so such change... well... i did nothing now... and I am quiet happy with my church now... at least I get to know some friends there... and they care for me...
And now I got another problem... am I going to church is because of "friends"?... the motive makes me there is to worship God, get closer to Him... but now, I am still worshiping Him, doing stuffs everyone doing there... but I found a new feeling there... something that I think shouldn't be there...
When I think of it, I will prefer become a convenient Christian... I don't want stuff become complicated... simple is enough... but if I do so, I can't get closer with God...
Another stuff makes me headache now... I wonder how much I love my God... I keep having the feeling that the day of world end is around the corner... I got the feeling of scare... I am not prepared... what can I show to God when judgement is there?... I haven't finish reading Bible... didn't preach gospel to anyone... not 'hot' enough in church... I need some more time... I seems like wishing the day is not so close...
My head is gonna explore... all these stuff drive me crazy... yet I still dunno how much LOVE I have for Jesus... OMG... help me... when I go church, look for seat, I will need to ask myself... why am I there... what is the motive... I need a reason to do everything in church... just want to simplify the stuff... tired...
Feeling is not something that anyone can handle... once you like it, it means you like it... same if you dislike... sound in heart is the honest one... you can lie to everyone but not yourself... wishing stuff will be solve before school reopen... and God, I need Your help... please show me the way... let me do stuff You like... and glorify your name...
