where was God in the Connecticut shooting?

People on earth will continue to see death on earth until Jesus brings judgement to the world.

You might ask where is God. God is always in control, he would not let things happen unless he allow it to.

This world is plagued with sin which is why it will always die until God return to give us the new heaven and earth.

Thanks! Just saw this

Merry Christmas to you too.

Just finished service @ FGA

Actually, some question we can just ignore, there is a reason why some still choose not to believe or fail to understand because God has not chosen to reveal it to those who have been spiritually blinded or seeking with a harden heart for the sake of knowledge.

John
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

Prayer Request:

Pray for my family less argument & misunderstanding.

Pray I got more patience towards my family's bad attitude before I get angry and shout at them.

Pray that I have more patience on the road while driving

Pray also I will be more Christ-like each day.

Anyways a sharing that I took from Still Waters International Ministry

"Have you ever wondered as I used to why some prayers seem to be answered quickly and some never seem to be answered at all? We’ve confessed the word, exercised our faith, gathered others to agree with us, and yet nothing seems to happen?

I was pondering that very question some years ago when the Lord spoke to me and told me to study the word “name” in the scripture. So I pulled out my well used Strong’s concordance and began an in-depth look at the word “name.”

What I found was fascinating! In every instance but one in the Old Covenant the word “name” means ‘character, honor and authority.” In every instance but one in the New Covenant “name” means ‘character and authority.”

I was shocked! You see, when the Bible states, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” in Matthew 18:20. What we’ve always assumed was not necessarily the truth! Our understanding was totally out of the cultural context of what Jesus was trying to communicate!

A better rendering of Matthew 18:20 would be, “For where two or three are gathered together in my character, there am I in the midst of them.”

A light dawned in my heart and understanding! It was about Christ-like Character! It always has been, yet the church has always focused on the giftedness or oratorical ability of an individual rather than the character of the Lord being produced in each individual.

Look at John 14:14, “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

How many times have we wielded the “name” of Jesus thinking that it was some type of

magic word that would instantly grant us whatever we wanted? How many times have we faltered in our faith because the use of His name didn’t seem to produce what we wanted it to?

Let’s read John 14:14 this way, “If you ask anything with Christ Like Character, I will do it.” Now that’s a paraphrase but it is accurate.

We could look at the many different scriptures that we’ve ‘used’ pertaining to His name in our Christian walk that, when understood in the light of it’s true meaning, takes on a whole new perspective and significance.

If we truly want to do the works that Jesus did, as He said we could according to John 14:12, then we need to begin to focus on what is the most basic of all Christian truths; we are to be conformed to His image and walk in His character. The greater works will never be accomplished in or through us without this most basic of understandings. (via Still Waters International Ministries)"

I guess this would be the answer

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
John 14:26

Okay, will read on it tonight before I sleep

Please pray for peace & wisdom in choosing a new church as I'm moving out from my current one (FGA)

FGA is really close to my house like 5 mins but I don't know why I can't click with the community in that church

Glad Tidings is about 15 mins from my house without jam

Hmm did considered DUMC but will see GTPJ how is it first because DUMC have to pay parking also

As usual, big churches take longer time to adept, it's only my 2nd time into the church, don't know anyone.

The feeling is like moving to a new company lol

Any site or video that gives daily encouragement in our Christian walk?

I don't know why but even though I attend church, I feel lonely.
