Christian - a living testimony for the living God

How ironic is it to say that I'm a christian and yet doing things that makes God unhappy and sad...

Celebrated fren's birthday in the hall and ended with some of them getting drunk... 2 of them are christians... kind of shocking, at the same time, sad to me.... as the words of God is not in them...

"And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess..." - Ephesians 5:18

There's a reason why God told us not to get drunk. He didn't tell us not to drink. In fact, we, Christians can drink but not to get drunk. The reason is when we get drunk, we may lose concious about ourselves and may do things that are sinful in God's eyes.

And then to tell people that I'm going church and yet not living a life filled with God's words in me is equivalent to being a Sunday Christian. Living a Sunday Christian life is lving a double-sided life - being "holy" ONLY on weekend and living the rest of the week on worldly stuffs. Living this type of life may send the wrong messageto the others. The others may think that we, christian are just christian by name and not living by God's words and this will lead to the problem of reaching out to them ans they may think that christian are not much different from them and so why must they accept Christ in their life.

Maybe its the devil's works. Maybe the Devil already knew why God planted me in Perth and His plan for me over here. Well, I just pray that God will defeat the devil and bound him. And I will pray for them that they may be a good living testimony for God and to send the correct message to the others that christians are in fact different from them.

May God speak to them and protect them from the constant influence of the devil. Amen!

God reigns over all.
