How about blogging about the stuff I know concerning the bible? Instead of all those conventional things that are all about me?

Here are some stuff I can roughly recall without referring to any books, note or bought. However, I will have to resort to Google to double check and confirm, & add details. First what I can recall, incorrect or not. Then the verses & search results & elaboration.



1. Aaron ran from the front into the midst of the Israelite people, who were being stricken by some fatal disease thing starting from the back. The point until where he runs & meets with the fatal disease is when the disease will stop spreading.

46Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put incense in it, along with fire from the altar, and hurry to the assembly to make atonement for them. Wrath has come out from the Lord; the plague has started.” 47So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people, but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them. 48He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped. 49But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah. 50Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, for the plague had stopped.

Praveen shared this on a Sunday morning, I think. I don't remember what the message was. But I clearly remember him saying this, "Can you imagine, how Aaron had run? The further he reached, the more lives would be saved- How he'd run!"

I think the context was how burdened are we for souls. How anxious are we for the lives of others- If we were Aaron, would we not run with everything we have? Just an extra foot or two, another ten lives saved, perhaps.



2. Narrow is the path to heaven, & wide is the path to destruction. Unfortunately, most travel down the wide path.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." Matthew 7:13

This is quite a famous verse. And a very saddening one, for me. Many. Many. Just now, during the service, the preacher Mark Hemus had said that not everyone in the room was going to be saved.

Sobering & frightening as that thought was, I hardly doubt him. It is not that I don't have faith in our church members- It is that I believe, to live for Christ, it's not a matter of show. It really is difficult, extremely. To love God with all your heart, soul, mind & strength- Oh mercy. That isn't easy at all. Not at all.



3. I don't need more faith. I need to learn to use the little faith I have.

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. Luke 17:5-6. NIV

I wasn't sure what 'learn' means, at first. I think I thought it was along the lines of how to pray in faith, how to focus on the little belief I have & strengthen that, instead of having to believe in a whole lot of stuff. Whatever that means.

Checking this site out, it's probably more about the direction of your faith. Whether what you have faith in is in line with God's will, if you're praying hard for something of God, or of yourself, even if it's not something bad.

I'm not going to delve deeper into this yet, but it sounds logical.

This site ain't bad either. I like the wobbly chair analogy :D

How can faith be shown?... I've often thought if I dared to pray openly if a classmate becomes ill or wounded. What if nothing happens? What if the situation becomes worse? What will they think about me- being a show off, perhaps?

Faith. I need God.




Whoa, this is heavy. No wonder I escape from having to think about bible verses so much... BAD MELIA. I will get myself a bible ASAP, even if it's not the mini one I want.
