Just do our part, and leave the rest to God.. Gen7

Pairs of every animal joined Noah in the boat, scholars have estimated that almost 45000 animals could have fit into the boat, many have wondered how this animal kingdom roundup happened. Did Noah and his sons spend years collecting all the animals? In reality the creation, along with Noah, was doing just as God had commanded. There seemed to be no problem gathering the animals--God took care of the details of that job while Noah was doing his part by building the boat.
Often we do the opposite of Noah. We worry about details over which we have no control, while neglecting specific areas (such as attitudes, relationships, responsibilities) that are under our control. Like Noah, concentrate on what God has given you to do, and leave the rest to God.

Bagaimana aku bisa mendamaikan keadilan dengan pengampunan? .. C.R.Swindoll

Pada saat Abraham menghadapi dilema pastilah sangat kebingungan ketika Tuhan menyuruhnya meletakan anak tunggalnya di atas mesbah untuk menjadikan korban persembahan. Disini terlihat seakan-akan ketaatan adalah musuh dari pengampunan.
Bagaimana engkau mendamaikan keadilan dengan pengampunan? Mengapa engkau harus mendamaikan dua orang yang bersahabat?! Bagi Tuhan, keduanya tidak pernah bermusuhan. Mereka jadi tampak seperti itu karena kita tidak melihat apa yang Tuhan lihat.
Apakah kau ingat apa yang dilakukan oleh Abraham?
Itu adalah pertanyaan yang bisa dijawab oleh seorang anak kecil. " ia mematuhi perintah Tuhan "
Apakah Ishak mati? " tidak "
Berpikirlah mengapa? " karena Tuhan menyediakan pengganti "
Tetapi perhatikanlah bahwa hal pertama yang dilakukan Abraham adalah menaati perintah Tuhan. Abraham tidak mengijinkan pertentangan antara keadilan dan pengampunan mengahalangi ketaatannya. Ia mempercayai sifat Tuhan tanpa keharusan untuk memahaminya. Setelah ia menaati perintah Tuhan dengan iman, Tuhan memperlihatkan kepada bapa Abraham apa yang tidak bisa ia lihat.
Kewajibannya adalah menaati dan memperkenankan Yang Maha Tinggi menyelenggarakan keadilan dan pengampunan. Dan ingatlah selalu, kita adalah keturunan Abraham.. Karena kita taat.

Satan's plan against us .. Gen3

Doubt .. Makes you question God's word and His goodness ;
Adam and Eve failed to heed God's warning, they didnt understand the reasons for His command, so they chose to act in another way that looked better for them to them. All of God's commands are for our own good, but we may not always understand the reasons behind them, people who trust God will obey because God asks them, whether or not they understand why God commands it.

Discouragement .. Makes you look at your problems rather than at God ;
Adam and Eve hid from God when they heard Him approaching. God wanted to be with them, but because of their sin, their afraid to show themselves. Sin had broken their close relationship with God, just as is has broken ours. But Jesus Christ, God's Son, open the way for us to renew our fellowship with Him. God longs to be with us. He actively offers us His unconditional love, our natural response is fear because we feel we cant live up to His standards. But understanding that He loves us, regardless of our faults can help remove that dread.

Diversion .. Makes the wrong things seem attractive so that you will want them more than the right things ;
Satan tried to make Eve think sin is good, pleasent and desirable. A knowledge of both good and evil seemed harmless to her. People usually choose wrong things because they have become convinced that those things are good, at leads for themselves and the hardest to avoid. So prepare yourself for the attractive temptations that may come your way. Use God's word to help you stand against it.

Delay .. Makes you put off doing something so that it never gets done ;
When God asked Adam about his sin, Adam blame Eve, then Eve blame the serpent. How easy it is to excuse our sins by blaming someone else or circumstances. But God knows the truth, and He holds each of us responsible for what we do. Admit your wrong attitudes and actions and apologize to God start from now on.

Defeat .. Makes you feel like a failure so that you will want them more than the right things ;
Satan is our enemy. He will do anything he can to get us to follow his evil, deadly path. The phrase "you will strike His heel" refers to satan's repeated attempts to defeat Christ during His life on earth. "He will strike your head" foreshadows satan's defeat when Christ rose from the dead. A strike on heel isnt deadly, but ablow to the head is. Already God was revealing His plan to defeat satan and offer salvation to the world through His Son, Jesus Christ.

You will be like God.. Gen3

Satan used a sincere motive to tempt Eve :"you will be like God" . It wasnt wrong and it is humanity's highest goal. It is what we are supposed to do. But satan misled Eve concerning the right way to accomplish this goal. he told her that she could become more like Godby defying God's authority, by taking God's place and deciding for herself what best for her life. In effect, he told her to become her own god.
But to become like God isnt the same as trying to become God. Rather, it is to reflect His characteristics and to recognize His authority over your life. Like Eve, we often have a worthy goal but try to achieve it in the wrong way. We act like political candidate who pays off an election judge to be voted into office. When he does this, serving the people is no longer his highest goal.
Self exaltation leads to rebellion againts God. As soon as we begin to leave God out of our plan, we are placing ourselves above Him. This is exactly what satan wants us to do.

The Freedom to Choose.. Gen2

Why would God place a tree in the garden and then forbid Adam to eat from it? God wanted Adam to obey, but God gave Adam the freedom to choose.
Without choise, Adam would have been like a prisoner, and his obedience would have been hollow. The two trees provided an exercise in choise, with rewards for choosing to obey and sad consequences for choosing to disobey. When you are faced with the choise, always choose to obey God.

BEGINNINGS "Origin of the Universe".. Gen1

The bible doesnt discuss the subject of evolution. Rather, its worldview assumes God created the world. The biblical view of creation isnt conflict with science; rather, its in conflict with any world view that start without creator.
Equally commited and sincere Christians have struggled with the subject of beginnings and come to differing conclusions. This, of course, is to be expected because the evidence is very old and due to the ravages of the ages, quite fragmented. Student of the bible and of science should avoid polarizations and black / white thinking. Student of the bible must be careful not to make the bible say what it doesnt say, and student of science must not make science say what it doesnt say.
The most important aspect of the continuing discussion isnt the process of creation, but the origin of creation. The world isnt a product of blind chance and probability; God created it.
The bible not only tells us that the world was created by God; more impotant, it tells us who this God is. It reveals God's personality, His character, and His plan for His creation. It also reveals God's deepest desire; to relate to and fellowship with the people He created. God took the ultimate step toward fellowship with us through His historic visit to this planet in the person of His Son Jesus Christ. We can know in a very personal way this God who created the universe.
The heavens and the earth are here. We are here. God created all that we see and experience. The book of Genesis begins, " God created the heavens and the earth."

unholy trinity offer Power & Miracles to capture the whole world.. Rev13

The dragon, the beast out of the sea, and the beast out of the earth--together, they form unholy trinity.
When satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness and was plan to rule the world through Jesus, but Jesus refused to do satan's bidding.
Thus, satan turns to the fearsome beasts described in Revelation. To the beast out of the sea satan gives political power. To the beast out of the earth satan gives power to do miracles. Both beasts work together to capture the control of the whole world.
This unholy trinity unite in a desperate attempt to overthrow God, but their effort are doomed to failure.
Because the beast, the antichrist, is a false messiah, he will be counterfeit of Christ and will even stage a false resurrection.
People will follow and worship him because they will be awed by his power and miracles. he will unite the world under his leadership, and will control the world economy. People are impressed by power and will follow those who display it forcefully or offer it to their followers.
But those who follow the beast will only be fooling themselves: he will use his power to manipulate others, to point to himself, and to promote evil plans. God, by contrast, use His infinitely greater power to love and to build up.
Dont misled by claims of great miracles or reports about a resurrection or reincarnation of someone claiming to be Christ. When Jesus returns, He will reveal Himself to everyone.

These people were so hard hearted that even plagues didnt drive them to God..Rev9

People dont usually fall into immorality and evil suddenly--they slip into it bit at a time until, hardly realizing what has happened, they are irrevocably mired in their wicked ways. Any person who allows sin to take a root in his life will end up in this predicament.
Temptation entertained today becomes sin tomorrow, a habit the next day, then death and separation from God forever.
To think you could never become this evil is the first step toward a hard heart. Acknowledge your need to confess your sin before God.
