church sermon

today's church was good. i was late, as usual. reached at 11.15 when the service started at 10.30. luckily enough i did not miss any of the sermon.

it started with david's testimonial of how he accepted god. it was a pretty pretty long road, and he fell into many pitfalls along the way... before he ended up with god. along those road, his grannie was the one who kept praying for him. if any of you have been praying for someone to accept god, but they seem to go further away. do not lose hope. keep praying. cos god do this that are beyond our imagination.

it was then followed by pastor dave kenney.

"do not love the world or the things in the world. if anyone loves the world, the love of the father is not in him. for all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the father but is of the world." john 2:15-16

the lust of the flesh = what i want to feel
the lust of the eyes = what i want to own
the lust of the life = what i want to rule

falling in love in indeed a great feeling. the excitements. going out together. holding hands for the very first time. and it would be really great if people trully fall in love with their spouse. the catch is, some people fall in love with "romance" itself and not their spouse. and once all those goo goo gaa gaa feelings soothes down, they go looking for that feelings again. but this time with other people and not their own spouse. that is, the lust of the flesh.
