halloween! and praises by men

It has been a long time ever since i posted something...hahaha=)
Erm...today i would like to touch on the topic of halloween!

How many of you are like preparing for the coming halloween? Buying costumes and sweets to celebrate this festive season?
I just watched tv and the night safari (i think) is advertising for halloween! they have something like a haunted house but is open door kind...got people dressed very scarily walking around (like long haired girl, bloody mummy)...they even hire ppl to paint statues and make them to bloody and real! just like hell! whereby ppl are killed hands cut off..etc...it is so so gory!

I used to think that halloween is just a "for fun" thing...it is just like any festive season for ppl to have fun!
Then i realise that it is not like that...
There was one friend that told me not to celebrate halloween...
She say it is not a good thing...
Halloween is actually celebrating and promoting the devil's victory as well as the demons present on earth!
Why would any sane person celebrate it when many are afraid of "ghost" (they are demons sent from hell to corrupt the earth)- because we believe that when non-christians die, they can never come out of hell...onli demons can.

I know that many of you do not know about this...and i am seriously not encouraging anyone to celebrate halloween...

The next thing i would like to talk about is men's praises VS God's praises.
I am sure ALL of us love to be praised by men!
How many of us do things just to flaunt your capability, beauty, personality, achievements..etc?
Even i fall into this trap sometimes=(
matthew chap 6 verse 1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your father in heaven"

As for the christians, how many of us do things not to please God but to show others that you are devoted to him?
How many of us Pray, Sing before God just for show?
How many of us pray for the sake of praying? sing for the sake of singing? being afraid of being excluded?
Every Sun we go to church...how many of us go there because of God not men (friends)?
matthew chap 6 verse 5 "when you pray, you shall not be like hypocrites. For they love to pray standing and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men."

I feel that it is good to recieve praises by men, however, the focus is not the praises by men, but the praises from God.
There is no need to purposely show others as to what you can do but to be humble...
God sees the hearts of ppl and everyone is unique in his eyes=)

Oh! i just rmb something...hahaha:)
do you know that the bible is a super duper old book?
it is amazing how the bible can be passed down from such a long time! i think about 2000 years!
Don't you think God's power is amazing?
And, do you know that the bible is the only book that state that Jesus is God?
Even the budda do not claim himself as God! These includes so so many other religion!
so way are people worshipping things that are not God? hmmm...

Tmr is my OP! super scary! pray for me k? ppl!!
Prayer works!!

God Bless you Always!

Hey there,
This is Minyang from R-AGE. Not sure if you know who I am, but if you don't I'm Grace's boyfriend.

Grace was showing me your blog the other day and so I came back when I was free. Your posts really touched me! Your passion for God is astounding as well.

I pray that you will grow deeper in love with God, every day of your life; that God will fill you to overflowing, to be a blessing to all those around you.

Way to GROW. God bless =]
