Stil snowing

More and more people under the snow. The situation is getting worse.
The local authorities are way overpass by the situation.
The video is from yesterday . In the last 24 hours it was snowing nonstop.

Romania under snow!

It is at list 3 weeks  now since our country  literally is under snow.

Heavy snow and winds  close hundreds of roads , and more than 3500   schools.

A lot of towns and villages are literally buried  in snow. People and animals trapped under the white snow.

In the last 25 hours snow and the forecast is that it will still be snowing for at list other 25 h. It will be …. Too much.

 

 

Is He caring always ?

 

 

 

We know Jesus , as a caring and loving God! How ever  when there are few places in the New Testament when it looks that he is not caring enough about people and the problems they face.

 

At the wedding in Cana  , when there was no more wine ,.. he answer  “ what do I have to do with this,.. it is not yet my time..”. When the Canaanite women come , she was desperate ,.. He say “It is not right to take the bred from the children’s and give it to dogs “ Dogs,…

 

So I thought about this,.. and every time He looks as He did not care , In fact He is only challenges  the people to respond in a certain way  :

 

-          He is challenge us to obey , like the wedding in Cana

 

-          He is challenge  us to have faith like the Canaanite women

 

-          He is challenge us to persevere like the tow disciples on the road to Emmaus when Jesus apparently , did not want to stop and stay with them for diner .

 

So, hold on  , every time we go through a hard time and it looks  like God is not listening  or caring , just HOLD ON , we are having a great opportunity to have an experience with God.  I know we all like to have stories worth to tell,…. So just hold on and keep obeying  God , have faith and persevere.

who is Jesus???

Who is Jesus

In chemistry, He turned water to wine.

In biology, He was born without the normal conception;

In physics, He disapproved the law of gravity when He ascended into   heaven;

In economics, He disapproved the law of diminishing return by feeding
5000 men with two fishes & 5 loaves of bread;

In medicine, He cured the sick and the blind without administering a
single dose of drugs,
In history, He is the beginning and the end;

In government, He said that He shall be called Wonderful Counselor,   Prince of Peace;

In religion, He said no one comes to the Father except through Him;

So. Who is He?  He is Jesus!
Join me and let’s celebrate Him; He is worthy.

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hand that
will send this message to everybody shall not labor in vain, and the
mouth saying amen to this prayer shall smile forever.  Remain in God and
seek his face always.  Amen!

In God I’ve found everything!
The Greatest Man in History

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.  He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.  He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

Cursurile “Barnaba”

Today we had the second meeting this year  for “Barnabas” training seminars. It was a blessed time.

We had people  attend   from 7 churches in the area including our church.

We study the book of Acts , and how we can build a healthy church using the New Testament model. Or rather  how can we allow  God to work through  us, and using us for His missions and purpose.

Good fellowship, good teaching and all the students got encourage and motivated for ministry. Pastor Doug J , share the teaching with us.

Now we are looking foreword  for the meeting in May. Until this meeting we may have some outreach together ( the students that participate in the Barnabas seminaries ). I look foreword  for that .

Busy week , I need some rest.

Keep us in your prayers.

why… God?

From time to time, I question God,… I admit, I question many things, and some time is good to question,.. but from time to time, when things I do not understand happen I question God. Things that from my point of view are not right, there is no justice, how can God allow,..Why?

Did  you  ever experience this? I did

One day  I start to read the book of Jonah from the Bible. (again). The story with the fish is nice ,BUT , when I went  beyond that, I start questioning  God again. In a way Jonah was right,..

- Why will God need to send a warning  to those that He already  decide  to punish .  Just … send the fire,..

- How God can listen the prayers of those that do not know Him?  On the boat during the storm , every one pray to their god to spare them and show who  is guilty for the storm. The only one that serve the true God was sleeping .. but still God in His Providence   lead the lots to Jonah,..

- How God can  listen  the prayer of  those  that choose  not to obey  the will of God and lead their  life in misery , by choice and when they pray,… God listen ! ( Jonah pray from inside of the fish and guess what,…)

- Why is God concern for those that are NOT concern about Him?  There was over 120.000 people in Niniveh , pagans , idols worshipers,… God know the number of the people in the city, keep count of every one and concern of not to die ,… in sin.

and than I read  that Jonah  finally  is blessed with  a little gift  from God.  God give  him  a plant to have shade  during the day. Finally , Jonah  is happy, after all God  care , about him. But the joy was short,.. the plant dry. GOD MADE IT TO DRAY!

- Why   is  like that ?  Some time God is giving a blessing.  When  to start to get used with it, boom  God take it away. (loose the job, car broke , longlines , loosing a child , loosing  ,..  I stop hare)  why?

and than I read: and Jehovah said, You have had pity on the plant, for which you had not labored, nor made it grow, which was a son of a night, and perished the son of a night.  and should I not spare Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand men who do not know between their right and their left hand, besides much cattle? In the Romanian  translation  it say ” should  not I have mercy “

I got it,.. I did.

- When I question what God is doing , why He is allowing  this , that, my problem is not , that I do not understand what He is doing , my problem is: I do not understand Him !  He is merciful , full of grace, ready to help all those that do not deserve.

- Than I realize  that He want that His servants  , NOT NECESSARY ,TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS DOOING  BUT TO EXPESS , BE AN EXPRESSION OF WHAT HE IS

I  GOT IT.  :)
