[GA] The Basket

2008-08-08T08:37:00.000-07:00

THE BASKET

When we received Jesus Christ in our hearts
He did not only cleanse it
But also, inside He left a basket
With different seeds in every packet

The Basket has a red bow on top
And tied on it is a lovely big card
It says, "Thanks for letting me in to your heart,
These are my gifts; each one has a special part

Each pack grows one kind of fruit,
It's up to you to cultivate it and let it grow
Don't worry my friend, the Spirit is with you
I also left instructions, right there in my Word

The fruits are abundant in my Kingdom
And I want to share it with you
It's a blessing from our Father
So go ahead, discover its wonder.

The first of the packs is labeled with LOVE
It will grow beautifully if you love God above
Shower it with care, nurture it and share
It's the greatest fruit that one could bare

Here's how to cultivate Love even more:
Share and give w/o expecting a return
Be loyal, be true, be understanding
As God did when we were once crying

The second fruit I would like you to grow
The fruit of JOY to liven up your abode
Great delight and gladness of your heart
A great state while knowing & serving God

Here's how to cultivate Joy even more:
Be sincere, be happy, and be joyful
Believe that God heals and delivers
Our strength will always be the Joy of the Lord

The third fruit I give, would be the fruit of PEACE
Harmony and tranquility are what it brings
This Peace is special and a very rare one
For it exceed all our doubts and uncertainties

Here's how to cultivate Peace even more:
Dependence in God that He's always there
Accord between friends, one and each other
Sooner or later, you'll be a peacemaker

The fourth fruit, it's the tolerant LONG-SUFFERING
The good value of Patience also what it brings
In this fast-paced environment that we're living in
Steadfastness and endurance are what we should carry with

Here's how to cultivate Long-Suffering even more:
Patience and endurance are the primary keys
For us to last the entire race
Believe that He has a purpose in every case

The next fruit is a respectable one
The fruit of KINDNESS for everyone
The same kindness that God has shown us
So it's time for you to share--- that's the task

Here's how to cultivate Kindness even more:
A kind word, a kind action to one another
Be hospitable to every one who needs help
Be kind, be gracious to each & one you met

The sixth fruit is the fruit of GOODNESS
It's like a magnet that attracts everyone
The goodness of God, He shares with you
To shine, to show; for people to be touched

Here's how to cultivate Goodness even more:
Do good and put your love in action
Be a living testimony of what God has done
For you, for me and for one another

The seventh fruit, I truly delight
The fruit of FAITHFULNESS in the Light
If grown well your eyes will see
A more true and personal relationship with Him

Here's how to cultivate Faithfulness even more:
Hold fast and always believe in His Word
Stay loyal and put high esteem to Him
Dedicated and dependability on Him

Now GENTLENESS should be handled with care
Just as I did while I talk with people of different race
Gentle words could open up hearts
When dealing both believers or not

Here's how to cultivate Gentleness even more:
Always share a gentle and loving touch
With mildness and tenderness in every tap
Big points for you if you combined it with corrective love

SELF-CONTROL, now that's a big fruit to grow
You need to watch for it for pests to go
It's like a big game of tug of war
Between our Spirit and earthly desires

Here's how to cultivate Self-Control even more:
Always pray for guidance from above
Never let down your guard, mediate His Word
Sure enough, God will help you overcome the world

These nine fruits in the basket are powerful enough
To help you to change and transform your previous life
Also, it could help to touch other lives
To free them too from this world of strife

Now your job is simple enough
To deepen these seeds within your heart
Let it grow through walking God's ways
Let Us operate in you everyday

All We want is for you to be willing
Just like when you started believing
As I have told you awhile my beloved friend
I will always be with you all the way. "

[BM] Make A Difference

2008-03-28T02:09:00.000-07:00

Wow! Another Manga! Yapey!
God had been giving me inspirations to make another one.

Go M.A.D. Make A Difference

The "Make A Difference" thing occurred to me in a Baptist Mission Partners Conference last May 24, 2007. The theme was "Making A Difference" [Jude 24].

While the speaker was preaching, I had half of mind scribbling over my organizer and in my heart.... God had blessed me.... here it is...
[ I can't remember why there's a starfish over there...hmmm.]

And then, last August 24, (hahah! another 24), a friend (hey bords! shhh) , lent me a book with three litle stars clipped in. It is entitled, "TEN TIME BOMBS" by Ron Hutchcraft, a book regarding practical living in a Christian life with a purpose of avoiding the common 'bombs' or mistakes in life. That's where I got the phrase Go M.A.D.!

Cool Huh?

(BTW, I had finished reading this book on my 24th birthday, which is the 24th day of some month..heheh... need I to mention that? Fascinated over 24!)

I started this last night, going mad over sketches and dialogues... and scanning and rendering over this morning... and then uploading this afternoon with a dial-ip unternet connected Pentium 2 computer... and heck, within 24 hours I finished it! I love what I did! Yapey!

No more yatti-di-dah!

I hope you enjoyed reading Go Mad!

Be blessed!

Thank you Lord!

Without God, Man is fighting in a vast of indifference.

[BM] Deliverance

2008-03-18T00:44:00.000-07:00

Yepey! Thank God!

I have uploaded a set of manga images somehow depicting God's Plan of Salvation.

These are the soon "Sacred Agents" Manga's prologue pages....

*wishful thinking*

I have entitled these images DELIVERANCE.

Well, Christians would know easily the reason why it is entitled "DELIVERANCE", I hope that the unbelievers would get the message also.

Everything starts in believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour. So the story starts here, and I would repeatedly tell the story of Salvation as I create my "dream" Christian Manga.

And yeah, some images may seem unrelated to the text. As I have stated above, this is a prologue. The characters seen will unfold their identity as the "dream" Christian Manga is created in the near future I pray.

*wishful thinking again*

Okay, that's it for now, pray with me. 'till next time...

Read it and Share it... start here

I would also like to get comments. Thanks!

Hello Again!

2008-02-29T08:32:00.000-08:00

Hey... it has been more than a year since a post was posted. Well anyways, it was a busy year - 2007 - a lot of things had happened.

Allright... I'm going to do changes on this site little by little. I'm going to remove some pages that I think I cannot handle, add up some new pages... well, actually upto now I still haven't figure it out what to do....

I'm planning to add and make Christian Mangas here... a little Blogging about the stories... hmm... let's just wait for God's leading while doing the things He entrusted me right now.

Oh well.. I will continue on this site... just bear with me... if there's anyone who knows this site...

God bless!

Statement of Faith

2006-06-20T21:45:00.000-07:00

Section 1: The Bible

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally and plenarily inspired Word of God (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). We hold the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, infallible, God-breathed, and the complete and final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The
Holy Spirit was the divine author of Scripture (2 Peter 1:21). While still using the individual personalities of the human authors, the Spirit superintended them to insure that they wrote precisely what He wanted written, without error or
omission.

Section 2: God

We believe in one Triune God, who is Creator of all (Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 1:16), eternally existing in three distinct Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14), yet one in being, essence, power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections (John 10:30). God is our creator (Genesis 1:1), is eternal (Psalm 90:2), infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), sovereign (Psalm 93:1) and unsearchable (Romans 11:33-34). God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1-6), omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-13), omnipotent (Revelation 19:6), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6). God is holy (Isaiah 6:3), just (Deuteronomy 32:4), and righteous (Exodus 9:27). God is love (1 John 4:8), gracious (Ephesians 2:8), merciful (1 Peter 1:3), and good (Romans 8:28).

Section 3: Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is fully God, the expressed image of the Father, who, without ceasing to be God, became man in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man (Matthew 1:21; John 1:18; Colossians 1:15).

We believe that God the Son became incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ; that He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary; that He is truly God and truly man; that He lived a perfect, sinless life; that all His teachings are true (Isaiah 14; Matthew 1:23). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for all mankind (1 John 2:2) as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice (Isaiah 53:5-6). We hold that His death is efficacious for all who believe (John 1:12; Acts 16:31); that our justification is grounded in the shedding of His blood (Romans 5:9; Ephesians 1:17); and that it is attested by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Matthew
28:6; 1 Peter 1:3).

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven in His glorified body (Acts 1:9-10) and is now seated at the right hand of God as our High Priest and Advocate (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25).

Section 4: The Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-4). We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-11). He regenerates sinners (Titus 3:5) and indwells believers (Romans 8:9). He is the agent by whom Christ baptizes all believers into His body (1 Corinthians 12:12-14). He is the seal by whom the Father seals believers unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13-14). He is the Divine Teacher who illumines believers’ hearts and minds as they study the Word of God (1 Corinthians 2:9-12).
We believe that the Holy Spirit is ultimately sovereign in the distribution of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:11).
We believe that speaking in tongues and the working of sign miracles gradually ceased as the New Testament Scriptures were completed, their authority upheld, and the early church firmly established (1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 2 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 2:20; 4:7-12).

Section 5: Angels and Demons

We believe in the reality and personality of angels. We believe that God created an innumerable company of these sinless, spiritual beings who were to be His servants and messengers (Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 148:2; Hebrews 1:14).

We believe in the existence and personality of Satan and demons. Satan is a fallen angel who led a great company of angels into rebellion against God (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-15). He is the great enemy of God and man, and the demons are his agents in his unholy purposes. He and his demons shall be eternally punished in
the lake of fire (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10).

Section 6: Man

We believe that man came into being by direct creation of God and that man is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). We believe that the human race sinned in Adam (Romans 5:12), that sin is universal in man (Romans 3:23), and that it is exceedingly offensive to God. We believe that all mankind, because of Adam's fall, has inherited a sinful nature. Humanity is utterly unable to remedy its lost estate (Eph 2:1-5,12).
We believe that all men are guilty and in a lost condition apart from Christ (Romans 2:1).

Section 7: Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). Christ shed His blood to accomplish justification through faith, propitiation to God, redemption from sin, and reconciliation of man. Christ died for us (Romans 5:8-9) and bore our sins in His own body (1 Peter 2:24).

We believe that all those who have truly placed their faith in Christ are eternally secure in their salvation, kept by God’s power, secure and sealed in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 Peter 1:5; Jude 24).

Section 8: The Church

We believe that the Church, which is the Body and Bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again believers of the present age (1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:25-27). We believe in the ordinances of believer’s water baptism by immersion as a testimony and the Lord’s Supper as a remembrance of Christ’s death and shed blood (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42; 18:8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). We believe in the priesthood of all believers (1 Corinthians 1:1; Revelation 1:6). We believe that the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Lord and Savior, and that separation from sinful pleasures, practices, and associations is commanded by God (Romans 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-17). We believe in the Great Commission as the primary mission of the Church. It is the obligation of believers to witness, by word and life, to the truths of God’s Word. The gospel of the grace of God is to be preached to all the world (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:19-20). New believers are to be taught to obey the Lord and to testify concerning their faith in Christ as Savior and to honor Him by holy living.

Section 9: Things to Come

We believe in the blessed hope (Titus 2:13), the personal, imminent, pretribulational, and premillennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to rapture His saints (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). We believe in the subsequent, visible
return of Christ to the earth with His saints to establish His promised millennial kingdom (Zechariah 14:4-11; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Revelation 3:10; 19:11-16; 20:1-6). We believe in the physical resurrection of all men – the
saints to everlasting joy and bliss, and the wicked to conscious and eternal torment (Matthew 25:46; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:5-6, 12-13). We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where they await the first resurrection when spirit, soul, and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord (Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23; 3:21; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:4-6). We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain, after death, in conscious misery until the second resurrection when, with soul and body reunited, they shall appear at the Great White Throne judgment and shall be cast into the Lake of
Fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting conscious punishment (Matthew 25:41-46; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 16:19-26; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15).
