Dia Datang Membawa Damai, kamu?

by on Dec.23, 2010, under Article, Christianity, Church, Discipleship, Multimedia, Sharing, Thoughts, Video

Materi ini dipersiapkan untuk perayaan Natal FIB UI 2010, Materi ini berbicara mengenai “Damai Yang Sejati”. Sebagaimana Kristus adalah pembawa Damai demikian pula setiap orang Kristen juga dituntut sebagai pembawa Damai bagi lingkungan sekelilingnya.

Permasalahan adalah bagaimana kita bisa membawa Damai, jikalau damai itu tidak pernah ada dihati kita? Dan hal ini-lah yang menimbulkan pertanyaan besar, bukankah janji Allah melalui malaikat kepada umat manusia pada malam natal adalah Damai Sejahtera di bumi? Dan jikalau janjinya adalah damai, maka dimanakah damai sejati itu?

Kehilangan Damai sejati mengakibatkan banyak dari umat Kristen mulai meninggalkan ibadahnya, kemudian menjadi jemaat NAPAS (datang hanya pada saat Natal dan Paskah). Hal ini merupakan cerminan dari kerinduan mereka, karena kehilangan damai di hati selama bertahun-tahun, untuk mencari “damai” itu di malam natal! Tetapi seringkali kita gagal, seakan-akan kita salah mengerti akan apa itu damai yang sejati.

Materi ini sekali lagi ingin mengupas kebenaran tentang natal, dan bahaya si iblis dalam memanipulasi kebenaran untuk menghasilkan kedamaian yang palsu. Kedamaian sejati hanyalah melalui Kristus, tetapi tidak berhenti hanya pada keselamatan itu saja, melalui ketaatan dalam keselamatan lah maka kedamaian sejati itu akan bertumbuh didalam hati kita. Selamat melihat presentasi ini. Tuhan memberkati

About Faith …

by on Oct.13, 2009, under New Post

Several years ago I heard a story that I hope will reassure them that was often ridiculed by the phrase, “If your faith is strong you will not be …”

At that time I was listening to a woman called a priest in a radio broadcast. The priest was a wise man. Her voice was soft as if he could eliminate all fear.

The woman – who clearly heard was crying – saying,
“Pastor, I was born blind, and I was blind all my life. I do not mind being blind but there are a few of my friends say that if only my strong faith then I will be cured. ”

The priest asked him, “Do you always carry your guide stick wherever you go?”

“Yes,” replied the woman.

Then the priest began to advise, “If they mocked again with words like that, beat them using the wand then say,
If you have a strong faith, you certainly will not feel pain! ”

What I can do, you cannot

What you can do, I cannot

But together, we can do

Something Beautiful For God

Mother Teresa, 1910-1997

right now, I am in hallyard of Atma Jaya, seeing this quote from mother Teresa make me smile, the word “Together, we can do” it’s similiar like a theme from an Indonesian Politic Party – Democrat Party which now I know it belongs to Mother Teresa. (continue reading…)

Wa Habibi, Good Friday Hymn sung by Fairouz

by on Nov.07, 2008, under Christianity, Music, Poems

This is one of two official Catholic hymns adopted from the 20th century. This new Good Friday hymn is sung by the Lebanese singer Fairuz. I have set this song to the Fourteen Stations of the Cross.

Arabic Lyrics:
وا حبيبي وا حبيبي أي حال أنت فيه
من رآك فشجاك أنت أنت المفتدي
يا حبيبي أي ذنب حمل العدل بنيه
فأزادوك جراحاً ليس فيها من شفاء
حين في البستان ليلاً سجد الفادي الإلة
كانت الدنيا تصلي للذي أغنى الصلاة
شجر الزيتون يبكي و تناديه الشفاء
يا حبيبي كيف تمضي أترى ضاع الوفاء

English Translation:
My Love, My Love
What has befallen you?
Who saw you and grieved for you,
You who are righteous?
My Love, what is the sin of our times and our children?
These wounds have no cure.
