One Mind, One Heart

Nats word of God drawn from the book of Philippians 2:1-2

Philippians 2:1,2 So as any encouragement in Christ, any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, any affection and mercy, complete my joy with this: be ye like-minded, in one love, one life, one purpose,

      When Multinational army storm Irak Nation, there was one recognition of one American army, says: ”I can’t bear this, but!! This is command! I have to do the best.”  You know why he expressing that? Because he is moslem American army.  One mind, but not one heart.

      Friends, I’m sure that army weren’t happy and not in harmony when he do his task, why? Because they only one mind, not one heart.  Only obey the command but not his passionate impulse.  That kind of experience is no good and have to be repaired.   Paul, in his message advised the Philipians so they will be one mind and one heart in same love and purpose.  Why Paul give this advice? So the Philipians can live in harmony each other. Worship, Serve together with one mind and heart to reach lofty goals that honors God

     

Agape friend, harmony in the household will be created, tat when all family members and like-minded accord. Maybe you think so, "ah!! To create the same mind be difficult, let alone one heart and same mind "" the right mind "when you rely on strength alone. But it is not hard either, when each family member already in Christ. Why? For in Christ there is affection, compassion, and certainly one goal. What makes a goal? Because each mastered the same Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. The Spirit of Christ is what unites every member of the family to be of one heart and same mind. Harmony in the household to be a part of your life that rely on the Spirit of Christ. Is there more difficult? Christ is the answer.

When Communication Disconnected

Genesis 3:9

But the Lord God called the man and said to him: "Where are you?"

Communication Sana Klaric and husband Adnan from Bosnian town of Zenica has been lost so that they cheated in the virtual world by using a false name. Klaric use the name Sweetie, while Adnan using the name Prince of Joy. Klaric aka sweetie tell all their complaints to Adnan alias Prince of Joy. Estella intercepted, two beings in the virtual nature was already found her soul mate. Longing for ground coffee was initiated to find a place to meet an agreement. Sweetie sitting in one spot waiting for her soul mate Prince of Joy, when every few minutes his soul mate arrived. Ya apparently struck by lightning Benefits of Sleep broad figure that is considered a soul mate is none other than their own spouse. Prince of Joy turns her husband Adnan Sweetie Claric whereas in the real world is Klaric Adnan's wife. Instead of ground coffee happiness turned embarrassing.

Companions, breaking communication with a partner encourages communication with others. When confide to others a sign that "COMMUNICATION parts" in the household were damaged. The real story of the above happens because they've broken the communication parts so disconnected. Adnan Klaric and open communication with other people use a pseudonym so that same person in the virtual nature feel fit and Sweetie assume Prince of Joy as her soul mate. Infidelity virtual nature took place with fantastic and broke up in the real world. Due to unmask the real world that they use in the virtual nature.

Friend, who's wrong with this event. Is your husband or wife. Friend, which one is the couple themselves. Why do they cut off communication while communication is a permanent bond. Households without communication is a divorce in the mind. Divorced with God and man for man break pembrontakannya communication to God through the Word of God. But God as Father, open communication with the bride's man so that man had not fallen into the abyss of hell.

Friend, the husband should be the initiator of the communication, as God is the initiator of communication with humans. As a husband should manage a household, street life full of peace and peaceful. If there is damage to communication, the husband must imitate God to repair relations damaged by man. The question is not who is wrong, but who are willing to repair the damaged and cut off communication? is wife possible? maybe if the husband does not have the Father who is in heaven.

"KETIKA KOMUNIKASI TERPUTUS"

KEJADIAN 3:9

Tetapi Tuhan Allah memanggil manusia itu dan berfirman kepadanya: "Dimanakah engkau?"

Komunikasi Sana Klaric dan suaminya Adnan dari kota Zenica Bosnia telah terputus sehingga mereka berselingkuh di dunia maya dengan menggunakan nama palsu.  Klaric menggunakan nama Sweetie sedangkan Adnan menggunakan nama Prince of Joy.  Klaric alias sweetie menceritakan semua keluh kesahnya kepada Adnan alias Prince of Joy. Curhat bersambut, kedua insan di alam maya ini merasa sudah menemukan belahan jiwanya. Kerinduan untuk kopi darat pun digagas hingga menemukan kesepakatan tempat bertemu.  Sweetie duduk disatu tempat menunggu belahan jiwanya Prince of Joy, ketika selang beberapa menit sang belahan jiwa pun tiba. Mbak disambar petir disiang bolong ternyata sosok yang dianggap belahan jiwa tak lain tak bukan adalah pasangan mereka sendiri. Prince of Joy ternyata Adnan suami Claric sedangkan Sweetie di dunia nyata adalah Klaric istri Adnan.  Alih-alih kopi darat membahagiakan ternyata memalukan.

Sahabat, putusnya komunikasi dengan pasangan mendorong komunikasi dengan orang lain. Bila curhat dengan orang lain pertanda bahwa "ONDERDIL KOMUNIKASI" dalam rumah tangga sedang rusak. Kisah nyata di atas terjadi karena onderdil komunikasi mereka sudah rusak sehingga terputus. Klaric dan Adnan membuka komunikasi dengan orang lain pakai nama samaran sehingga orang yang sama di alam maya merasa cocok dan Sweetie menganggap Prince of  Joy sebagai belahan jiwanya. Perselingkuhan alam maya pun berlangsung dengan fantastic dan bubar di alam nyata. Karena alam nyata membuka topeng yang mereka pakai di alam maya.

Sahabat, siapa yang salah dengan peristiwa ini.  Apakah suami atau istri.  Sahabat, yang salah adalah pasangan itu sendiri.  Mengapa mereka memutus komunikasi sedangkan komunikasi adalah sebuah ikatan permanen.  Rumah tangga tanpa komunikasi adalah perceraian di dalam batin. Demikianlah manusia bercerai dengan Allah karena manusia memutus komunikasi kepada Allah lewat pembrontakannya terhadap firman Tuhan. Tetapi Allah sebagai Bapa, membuka komunikasi dengan manusia sang mempelai wanita itu sehingga manusia itu tidak terjatuh ke jurang neraka.

Sahabat, suami sebaiknya inisiator komunikasi, seperti Allah adalah inisiator komunikasi dengan manusia. Sebagai suami haruslah memimpin rumah tangganya dijalan kehidupan yang penuh damai dan tentram.  Bila terjadi kerusakan komunikasi, suami harus meneladani Allah untuk memperbaiki hubungan yang rusak akibat manusia itu.  Pertanyaanya bukan siapa yang salah, tetapi siapa yang bersedia memperbaiki komunikasi yang rusak dan terputus???? mungkinkah Istri??? mungkin kalau suami tidak memiliki hati Bapa yang di surga.

Presents a Compliment

Reflections drawn from II Corinthians 3: 2

(II Chorinthians  3:2 You are our letter of commendation written in our hearts, known and read by all men.

      Friend Agape, passion for work and collaboration not born from any threat or coercion. Why is that? Because the threat is usually breeds fear and forced labor. Surely you do as a family is often given the task to his wife, children, servants to the household or not?, but how do we assign them to be excited when we gives task to them? The best way is to give the task with praise Agape friend! Verses God's Word teaches us to give kudos to the person. Paul in his letter presents a compliment to the Corinthians who lives worthily of Christ. The church at Corinth said to be the pride of Paul and their behavior is well known and readable people.  This is one way that Paul do to stimulate the spirit of the Corinthians to be excited, obedient and live to serve Christ.

      Agape companions, as Paul commends to the Corinthians, we too would do it to friends, family and neighbors. I am sure that everyone would happily accept the words of praise and appreciation. As a family, of course you are happy, if in each household member, whether a wife, husband or children to do their daily tasks with pleasure right?.  This will be achieved if we are skilled in providing a compliment to our spouses and our children. A sincere compliment is presented with such beautiful flowers that adorn the house, such as a sharp criticism of the offensive stench. Always present for the compliment in your household.

POSITIVE THINKING

Philipians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Agape Friends, if we want to get the best result in the next year, we have to start this year better. Because what will we get this year, is our work last year. Nah! How we could start a better year? We should start it with positive thinking. Because, every move that we do is born from what we think. We had positive hinking, then what we do is positive, if we had negative thinking then what we do is negative. I believe half of you is computer users, because that we must have know term called GIGO the acronym is “Garbaage In Garbage Out”. The mean is if we insert garbage in our life, then what coming out from it is garbage.

                Agape Friends, i don’t agree if someone insert garbage to his/her life, even if it exist so that his life became community garbage.But fore us who have been with Christ let’s start our days with thinking as the word of God verse that i’ve been read before. So that we may bring forth the right thing, just and holy. If  you are married, then whatever is true, noble, sweet about our family that is what we think. With the right mindset about our family (think right of the wife, husband, child) every action that we do is correct in their mind.

                Agape Friends, is there any such thing has manifested itself in the lives of your household? If yes, give thanks to the Lord for He is doing in your life, if not let us come and ask him in prayer so that God’s Word today dominate and shap you to be the people who always think positive in accordance with His Word 

"Guilt"

Paragraph Reading: Ruth 1:1-22

But, he said to them: "Don’t mention me Naomi; Call me Mara, Rut 1:20

Guilt could make someone act blindly, because feeling guilt could produce negative thinking like ”judge yourself.” Like when Judas Iscariot feeling guilt after sell Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Bible record; when Judas saw Jesus was sentenced to death, he feeling guilt and hung up himself.

Indeed guilt is a neutral feeling, it’s good to have it, as we have an fundamental reason.  Reasoning guilt can be positive energy for someone to improve his attitude.  For the example, Naomi feeling guilt when she leave Israel and going to Moab. Because of it, her husband and her son died in Moab. Naomi fail in her family and her economy because her insistent went to Moab just because hunger in Israel. She mean going to Moab so she could improve her family economy, in Moab, Naomi is welcomed by trouble and money problem. Naomi contemplates that the LORD hath testified against him and the Almighty has afflicted him. Naomi had to clean up and get back to Bethlehem, because God is not pleased Naomi was in Moab (people who do not know the Lord).

Important for us to reflect that guilt may be present in anyone life, can destroy and improve life. We have to reflect the causes of guilt. If the cause is our way not same with what God want, we have to go back to him. Because only with God we can overcome all the problems we experienced. If God help Naomi to improve herself and independent of feelings of guilt, We will be free from guilt if we started and fix the problem with God. Bible say

Psalm 108:14 say : ”With God we will do mighty deeds”
