See the Seriousness?

Yes, that is a real existing logo. I did not wake up today and suddenly thought of designing this logo with Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.

That is the logo of the Church of Satan. The Church of Satan was established in San Francisco, California on April 30, 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey, who was the Church’s high priest until his death in 1997. (source: Wikipedia)

LaVey formed a group called the Order of Trapezoid in the 1950s. This group later became the governing body of the Church of Satan. There are two different kinds of membership in the church; the Registered Members and Active Members. Registered Members are people who have been inducted into the church with no requirements. Active Members have to pay USD 200 to join and it is divided into five Degrees:

First Degree – Satanist
Second Degree – Warlock/Witch
Third Degree – Priest/Priestess
Fourth Degree – Magister/Magistra
Fifth Degree – Magus/Maga

Anton LaVey the founder even wrote The Satanic Bible in 1969! And this Church has teachings which glorify Satan and believes in self-preservation.
The Satanists (as they call themselves) are given a few guidelines as how they must live.

One of the Nine Satanic Statements:
“Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek.”

Two of the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth:
“Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed (used) it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.”

“When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.”


Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan.


Peter H. Gilmore, a fifth degree Magus and current high priest of the Church of Satan.


Marilyn Manson aka Brian Hugh Warner. Reverend Manson of the Church of Satan.

Enough said. It gives me the creeps when I read of it.

Do you see the condition of the world we are living in now? Do you know what is happening? This Church of Satan is only a tiny fraction of a bigger satanic movement. It is only a small part of the big picture. Satan is gathering his vast amount of army and will be ready to strike soon. Will you be prepared? Or do even care?

Good news for us Christians, God said:

1 John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them,
because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Jesus who is in you is way greater than Satan who is in the world.

But this is the seriousness of the matter. Are we Christians going to continue to do what we have been doing? Are we going to continue sitting in church the rest of our lives and care not about the things of God? Are we not going to take effort to share the Gospel with our friends who have not heard about Jesus?

Do we care?

Time is short. Night is coming down on us. Will we care to build ourselves up in the faith and arm ourselves with the Word of God and help one another grow in God? Will we care to pray for a closer and more intimate relationship with God?

We Malaysians are living in a country where it is less dangerous from the influence of satanic worshippers. Europe is one country that has been greatly affected by them. Should we be thankful? You answer.

The power of darkness is as real as the power of light. Which side are you on? If you are not of the light then you are of darkness. Choose this day for the time is short.

1 John 4:18
Dear children, this is the last hour, and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

Jesus has the victory, with Jesus we are the victors.

LIFE Church

Sorry guys for posting it up so late. But yea, here they are pictures of LIFE Church’s band.

LIFE Church sent a band here to bless us recently on the 11th of November. The 11 member band came all the way from Australia and was willing to give their all and bless us. They led in worship that morning and their pastor preached after that. But before that Sunday, on the 8th of November they went to Grace PJ Church and gave a music workshop. Everyone that went said it was awesome and they were so friendly. Too bad I wasn’t there. But thank God for this band that came and gave everything without asking for anything.

Presenting...

Dare to be Rad and Read?

Dare to be Rad?


Someone once asked me, “Why do you blog what you blog?”

My answer was, “Someone has to blog what everyone ought to blog.”

This post might not be likeable to many of you who might be reading it. But I am still going to say what I am going to say.

Do you know what a BLOG is for? Yea it was created by people who want to share their dairy with the whole world and not being shy of it. Few years back blogging wasn’t an “in thing”. Bloggers back then used it to put their dairy somewhere safe where only they can have access to. But now blog has taken a whole new meaning. People are using it to sell stuff, advertise, etc and most of all – tell the whole world about ourselves.

Right?

I dare say 80% of blogs worldwide are all about “Me, Myself and I” and I guess many of you can agree with it. We use our blogs to advertise ourselves and bring attention to ourselves. Well I did not say that is a crime alright. After all, everyone has this desire to be noticed and known right?

We normally blog about our school, our family, our holidays, our friends, our happiness, our sorrow and all kinds of stuff. These are the stuffs I normally see online.

I repeat, it is not a crime to blog about ourselves ok.

But Christians...

What are you using your blogs for?

Why are we spending so much time blogging about “me, myself and I” and where in every corners of your blog, is God?

I was once an anti-blog guy, you can ask Shannon. I was telling her that people who blogs have nothing better else to do. All they blog about is themselves and I don’t really find much pleasure and joy in reading. And I told her that I would never blog.

I was wrong.

Last year around October I created my blog. And I decided to do something most of us aren’t doing. I decided to blog God. We Christians should use the tools that are available to do what we are all called to do. The internet is a great tool to be used and we can take it and use it to our advantage. But why aren’t we doing so?

“Do not imitate the world. Instead, the world should imitate you!”
– Pastor Henry Ramaya, Senior Pastor of Grace Assembly Church.

Are we imitating the world? Are we imitating what the world does? You tell me. The world uses the blog for their own desires to bring attention to themselves. Are we doing the same thing?

Are we bringing too much of attention to ourselves?
Shouldn’t we be bringing attention to God?

It is alright if you want to blog about your friend. It is alright if you want to blog about how much you dislike what that guy did to you. It is alright if you want to blog about how frustrated you are because your parents did not want to buy you that laptop. It is alright if you want to blog about how much you spent today. It is alright if you want to blog about how you forgot to wear your underwear and went to school yesterday.

But it is not alright if there is nothing about God in your blog! Something must be wrong!

If God is in your life then where is God in your blog? Don’t you think He deserves to be known after what He did for you on the cross? Don’t you think we should be the light that shines His glory? Don’t you think we should be shouting God out loud? Don’t you think we should be radical?

If you can’t find anything to blog about I would tell you to have a look at your life. If there is nothing much you can talk about God then there must be something wrong in your life. Seriously.

An ambassador is someone who represents a state or organization to go out and tell people about the one that sent them. We are Christ’s Ambassadors but we are only going out and telling people about ourselves. Is that right? You tell me.

In order to change the world we have to be radical. We don’t make any difference if we continue to do what everyone is doing. Who deserves the glory and fame more? You or the One who created you?

So do you dare to be rad?
And do you dare to be read?

2 Corinthians 5:20
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors...
