We support Bloggers Against Hunger!

by soegianto on Aug.12, 2010, under Cross Project, Photo, Video

Since the first time I follow twitter account of @wfp, I believe Wood Food Program (WFP) will take action by involving bloggers to support their fight against hunger in this world. Pretty relieved realizing that Crossprojectministry.com is a part of humanity global action against the “hunger”.

Last month, World Food Programme Executive Director Josette Sheeran, expressed her enthusiasm at the WFP Hunger Seminar in London. “You [today’s students] are the generation that will end hunger… In the future we want our grandchildren to ask us what hunger and starvation were.”

With the fact that 20% of the riches who “might” doesn’t really know the feeling of hunger conquered 80% of the earth resources, meanwhile the 80% of the poor and pooerest is fighting for the 20% of the earth resources. Realizing this fact, we need to work hand in hand to overcome the problem. We should be proactively help the poor to get out from their condition. (continue reading…)

Blessed Assurance!

by soegianto on Jul.13, 2010, under Christianity, Life

Starting this Jun, I decide to join with deogracias choir in gepembri in responspe for bu margareth invitation. And for your information, I am not good at understanding melody, one of my lack is my disability of my right ear to hear at low sound (based on checking in THT RSCM few years ago). But singing this song which written by Blind composer Fanny J Crosby, give me a joy of praising Lord for His Salvation given unto us, even in our lackness we still can praise Him!

So I sing this song in the morning on the way to office, training myself to understand the melody and the lyric. Try to overcome my gap by training more often, thus I can praise Him together with deogracias. Soli deo gracias!

Here is some article from wikipedia the background of this song. Happy reading!

“Blessed Assurance” is a well-known Christian hymn. The lyrics were written in 1873 by blind hymn writer Fanny J. Crosby to the music written in 1873 by Phoebe P. Knapp.

Prepare your A-team!

by soegianto on Jul.02, 2010, under Christianity

Deuteronomy 3:26-28
God had made it clear that Moses not to enter the promised land (Numbers 20:12). So God told Moses to commission Joshua as the new leader and encourage him in this new role.

This is a good example to churches and organizations who must eventually replace their leaders. Good leaders prepare their people to function without them by discovering those with leadership potential, providing the training they need, and looking for ways to encourage them.

Deuteronomy

by soegianto on Jul.01, 2010, under Doctrine, Sharing

Recently I do enjoy a devotion broadcast by my shepherd, which I think it’s too abundant to be kept for myself.

Have a read!
_____________________________________
Deuteronomy 1:1,2

“The Israelites spent 40 years on a journey that should have lasted 11 days.
It wasn’t distance that stood between them and the promised land. It was the condition of their hearts.

God’s purpose went deeper than simply transporting a huge group of people to a new land. He was preparing them to live in obedience to Him once they arrived.
What good was the promised land if the Israelites were just as wicked as the nations already living there?

The journey was a painful but necessary part of their preparation.
Through it God taught the Israelites who He was: The Living God, the Leader of their nation.
He also taught them who they were:
People who were fallen, sinful, prone to rebellion & doubt.
He gave His rebellious people the law to help them understand to relate to God and to other people.

Your spiritual pilgrimage may be lengthy, and you may face pain, discouragement, and difficulties.
But remember that God isn’t just trying to keep you alive.

He wants to prepare you to live for service and devotion to Him.”

please don’t blame Me

by soegianto on Jun.18, 2010, under Christianity, Doctrine, Sharing

Numbers 20:1-5

“It had been 37 years since Israel’s first spy mission into the promised land & 40 years since the exodus from Egypt. The Bible is virtually silent about those 37 years of aimless wandering. The generation of those who had lived in Egypt had almost died off, and the new generation would soon be ready to enter the land.

After 37 years in the desert, the Israelites forgot that their wanderings were a result of their parents’ & their own sin.
They could not accept the fact that they brought their problems upon themselves, so they blamed Moses for their condition.

Often our troubles result from our own disobedience or lack of faith. We cannot blame God for our sins.

Until we face this reality, we will have little peace & no spiritual growth.”

Mengukur Batas Toleransi di Indonesia

by soegianto on May.12, 2010, under Christianity, Church, News, Thoughts, Video

Berita ini diambil dari Al Jazeera :

Serangan kekerasan terhadap orang Kristen di Indonesia telah memaksa ditutupnya 20 gereja dalam beberapa bulan terakhir, pengujian keseimbangan keagamaan yang rapuh di negara yang mayoritas Islam.

Pemerintah menyangkal insiden adalah tanda intoleransi keagamaan yang sedang tumbuh, namun menyalahkan kondisi geopolitik dan pemilihan daerah.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen melaporkan dari Jawa Barat.

Greatest love?

by soegianto on Nov.03, 2009, under Article, Christianity, Church, Doctrine, Life, Photo, Sharing, Thoughts

love
love2

Greatest Love… it might be, but the greatest love of all is when God given his one and only son, to save me… , it’s hard to understand by non Christian, but the story might given you an inspiration and more understanding about why Christmas is important for us, not because of that consumerism culture from the west but because He love me, so He come to die, come to save the unworthy, sinful, lost person like me… it is the greatest love of all….

this what Jesus,some known him as Isa Al Masih, said “This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you. No one shows greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.
(Joh 15:12-14 ISV)

The Father loves the Son and has put everything in his hands. The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life.
(Joh 3:36)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
(Joh 3:16 MKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You love me, when I was so unlovely,
You sought me, when I was lost,
You show me, how much You really love me,…
When you bought me with a highest cost,

Chorus:
There’s no greater love than this,
There’s no greater love than this,
That a man would give His life for a friend
There’s no highest sacrifice
That a man would give His life …
You have paid a precious price for me

You love me, when I was so unworthy,
You cleansed me with Your own blood,
You clothed me with righteousness and mercy,
And you crowned me with Your steadfast love

Ketika Atheis berbicara tentang berdakwah

by soegianto on Sep.28, 2009, under Article, Christianity, Life, Thoughts, Video

Sebuah artikel tentang seorang pelawak dan pesulap Penn Jillette, dia adalah seseorang yang dikenal orang sebagai “Magic Bullet.” Sebelumnya saya tidak mengenal dia, sampai hari ini saya baca artikel tentang beliau pada sebuah media sosial.

Beliau selama lebih dari satu dekade, dia bekerja sebagai magician enam hari dalam seminggu di Las Vegas dengan sesama pesulap Teller. Kedua anggota Penn & Teller duo adalah pemain berbakat yang juga terjadi untuk menjadi pendukung ateisme-kepercayaan bahwa tidak ada Allah.

A gift of Bible

Penn akan menjadi orang pertama yang mengakui bahwa dia bisa kasar, vulgar, dan berpendirian keras tentang ketidakkepercayaan kepada Tuhan. Tidak mengherankan, Penn telah melakukan sejumlah serangan terhadap Kekristenan. salah satunya yang dipost di Rose trick.jpg YouTube, “The Bible is Bulls—t” (silakan tebak-menebak kata-kata yang dihilangkan), telah mengumpulkan lebih dari 1,4 juta kali dilihat sejak rilis beberapa tahun lalu. Dan, ketika memberikan tanda tangan, Penn biasanya menambahkan komentar “tidak ada Allah” berdekatan dengan tanda tangannya.

Wowww…. :) seorang Atheis sejati, namun yang mengejutkan adalah sebuah Posting dia pada bulan Desember 2008.

Dalam klip YouTube yang berjudul “A Gift of Alkitab,” Penn telah bertemu dengan seorang “pria besar” yang menunggu di pinggir dalam apa yang disebut “posisi mematung” setelah pertunjukan. Dia berlama-lama, menunggu kesempatan untuk berbicara dengan Penn setelah penggemarnya pergi. Ketika suasana sudah memungkinkan, penonton yang tidak disebutkan namanya ini mendekat. Penn menggambarkan apa yang terjadi selanjutnya:

” penonton itu berkata, “Saya baru saja menonton pertunjukan tadi malam di pameran dan aku melihat pertunjukan dan aku menyukainya.” Dia sangat memuji tentang penggunaan bahasa, dan berkata tentang hal-hal baik. dan dia berkata , “Aku membawa ini untukmu,” dan ia memberiku Injil Gideon edisi saku termasuk Mazmur. Dia berkata “Aku menulis di bagian depan, dan aku ingin kau memiliki ini. Aku agak berda’wah.” Dan dia berkata” Saya seorang pengusaha, aku waras, tidak gila. Dan dia terus menerus menatap tepat di mata sambil berbicara. (continue reading…)
