Living For A Greater Cause

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:03:56 +0000

Living for a greater cause is the principle or a motto made by most of our heroes. Usually, they considered as greater cause when they declare that their lives have been intended for a greater cause which mean living for their nation. Many politicians make such promises as well that they are committed to live and serve the nation or the people to speak it more practically. We all believe that everyone will die sooner or later but do we all believe that we should die for a cause worth dying for? Well, here is a good news- really cool good news! We all meant to live for a greater cause. We all deserve living a life worth living for. Christians, particularly, must live for a cause greater than themselves. Wherever we are located and situated, God has called us to live not just for ourselves but for others, too.

This piece actually calls attention for christians who profess that they love our Lord Jesus Christ. We have to do things that will really save the lost souls - that’s living for a greater cause. Sometimes this is hard because most of the times, we are called killjoy, weird and terrible. Sometimes, we are mocked at but do you still focus on that ignorant mockery when you see your friends, family and other fellows living astray. Live for a greater cause. You cannot afford seeing many lives dying without the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 4:13 says “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength”..Never mind about being laughed at. Jesus was also persecuted when He was sharing the truth to people who He had died for. The hardest but the most needed - living for a greater cause!

Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure
What You’re worth

CHORUS
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

A Merry Heart - Proverbs 15:13 Commentary

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:51:59 +0000

A Merry Heart - Proverbs 15:13: Just to share to all of the people in the whole wide world that there is always a benefit out of a truly merry heart. It might be a big question and boggling puzzle how to be merry when there are so many worries and fears in this world. Well, it really needs to be part of your daily system. As commented by Henry Matthew: Harmless mirth is recommended to us, as that which contributes to the health of the body, making men lively and fit for business making the face to shine and rendering us pleasant one to another.

A cheerful spirit under the government of wisdom and grace, is a great ornament to religion, puts a further lustre upon the beauty of holiness, and makes men the more capable of doing good. Hurtful melancholy is what we are cautioned against, as a great enemy to us, when it has dominion and plays the tyrant. The spirit is broken and becomes unfit for the service of God.

Matthew Henry On Boasting About Tomorrow- Proverbs

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 02:16:57 +0000

Matthew Henry commentary on Boasting About Tomorrow has been helping me to understand the message of God at Proverbs 27:1 which goes this way “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thu knowest not what a day may bring forth” (KJV). Sometimes, we tend to depend on what we have now to feel secure about what a day may bring ahead. That means most of the time that we tend to neglect trusting and keeping in touch with the Lord when we are sufficient today.

Well, I like the commentary message of Matthew Henry about boasting on tomorrow as related to the verse Proverbs 27:1. Boast not thyself, no, not of tomorrow, much less of many days or years to come. This does not forbid preparing for tomorrow, but presuming upon tomorrow. We must not put off the great work of conversion, that one thing needful, till tomorrow, as if we were sure of it, but today, while it is called today, hear God’s voice. We know what a day may bring forth, what event maybe in the teeming womb of time. God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events, that he may train up up in a dependence upon himself and a continued readiness for every event, Acts i.7.

Matthew Henry Commentary on Riches - Proverbs 23:4-5

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 01:28:10 +0000

Proverbs 23:4 “Labour not to be rich, cease from thy own wisdom”
23:5 “Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven” (KJV)

Matthew Henry commentary on riches - Proverbs 23:4-5 Some are given to appetite(v.2) others to covetousness. We must endeavour to live comfortably, and provide for our children and families, but we must not seek great things. Be not of those that will be rich, that design it as their highest end,1 Tim.vi.9. What thous hast, or doest, be master of it, and not a slave to it as those that rise up early, sit up late, and eat the bread of carefulness, and all to be rich. The things of this world are a show, a shadow, a sham upon the soul that trusts to them. Wilt thou do a thing so absurd in itself? What thou, a reasonable creature, wilt thou dote upon shadows? Riches are very uncertain things; they make themselves wings and fly away. The wings they fly away upon are of their own making. They have in themselves the principles of corruption. They go irresistibly and irrecoverably, as an eagle towards heaven, that flies strongly, and flies out of sight and out of call (there is no bringing her back); thus do riches leave men in grief and vexation if they set their hearts upon them.

A Good Name: Proverbs 22:1

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 02:06:36 +0000

A good name is a theme at the book of Proverbs Chapter 22. The verse 1 states ” A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favour rather than silver and gold”.
A very scholarly made commentary by Matthew Henry is hereby shared for you: We should be more careful to do that by which we may get and keep a good name than that by which we may raise and increase a great estate. By great riches we may receive the bodily wants of others, but by a good name we may recommend religion to them. To be well beloved, to have an interest in the esteem and affections of all about us; this is better than silver or gold.

The Role Of The Church

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 06:49:42 +0000

The role of the church is not to be ignored these days. The church composed of group of people believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ has a great responsibility in the whole world today. Looking at what happened to Haiti recently, believers are but expected to be commissioned to do rescue effort.

The church will not stop working out as it sees people dying without Jesus Christ. The role of the church has to be carried out as it is expected to bring hope, salvation, education and relief to desperate people around the globe. It is time for the church to carry on the truth and power of the Lord and save the world.
