Love is not doing the bare minimum, it’s not an obligation. What is the nature of love? Love is learning to make the dreams of the one you love come true.
- Do we follow the great commission because the opposite is disobedience? Are we doing it as a task to be accomplished? Sometimes we say “I will go IF He calls me”, if He doesn’t, I’m OK because He didn’t call me.
- Do we want to make God’s dream true? at any cost? If we do then we can say “I love you God!”
- Before waiting for the orders from God (out of obligation, like God should i do this? or that?) surprise God.
Is the Earth the result of an incredible sequence of sheer luck? or is it the result of delicate design by a Supreme Being?
Let’s say you have a monkey in front of a typewriter. and the monkey types randomly. What are the chances that by typing randomly that monkey will write up Romeo & Juliet? could that happen through sheer luck? or by design?
- Without the moon, no life on earth can exist. (this was discovered 10 years ago). The rotation of the moon around the earth keeps the earth rotation from spinning out of control (like a top spinning out of control). The gravitational pull of the earth keeps the earth and moon in check. - The habitual zone : If our solar system was in the middle of the milky way, no life exist because the gamma rays would be too harmful for life to survive. If the solar system was too far from the milky way, there would not be enough chemicals to produce life (life on earth are carbon beings), Thus earth is in a slice of rotation that only life can survive on. - The sun was much hotter a billion years ago, and at that time mars was in the habitual zone. - The sun is “just the right” size to emit light to bring life to earth.
- Earth is at “just the right” distance to the sun for sustain a 4 seasonal tilt and rotation for day and night. If the earth were closer, earth would not rotate because of the gravitational pull of the sun would create a tidal lock (one face of the planet continues to face the sun) - 95% of the stars in the milky way are smaller than our sun.
- 5% of the sun-like stars in our galaxy, not all of them have planets.
- Planets with elliptic orbits cannot sustain life. - Without Jupiter, there would be no water on earth. Jupiter also has to be at just the right distance, and just the right size, or there would be too much water, or too little water on earth. - Quotes : Most of the Universe if too cold, too hot, too dense, too vacuous, too dark, too bright, or not composed of the right elements to support life... Earth is unique in both it’s physical properties and it’s proven ability to sustain life “ Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee, Rare Earth. - Quotes : If some god-like being could be given the opportunity to plan a sequence of events with the express goal of duplicating our “garden of eden” that power would face a formidable task. With the best intentions, but limited by natural laws and materials, it is unlikely that Earth could ever be truly replicated. Too many processes in its formation involved sheer luck. Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee, Rare Earth. Conclusion : Nature reveals the existance of the Creator/Designer who is above and beyond nature. Also, Hugh Ross listed 75 conditions in the universe needed to produce life. each condition is one in a billion “just right” chance. and with 75 in a row? (and that's just what the human race has discovered) it's clear out impossible that another planet in the universe could exist that could sustain life. We are living in just the right time, just the right place, just the right condition for life to exist. We are living in THE ONLY single garden of eden in the whole universe.
If Jesus were alive today, he'd probably be the best filmaker ever, because he is the greatest storyteller.
Jaeson Ma is in the house this week. And what a week it was! He exploded as a speaker, with energy and passion in the hippiest way.
Jiseong is intimate with God.
Jiseong asked me today, before going to bed, "What is that funny language you talk when you pray during the gatherings?"
Best birthday ever! turned 40 and learned about my original design (what God had in mind when he created me)
Yesterday was my 40th birthday. What a milestone! Moses was 40 when he smote an Egyptian and left a life of luxury in Egypt and desert life started.
Today i finally met someone who died, went to heaven, met Jesus and came back to life to tell it as it is!
So to make it short, Riaya is here on earth to tell people that Jesus is real, Heaven is real. and she has seen two visions from God, and one of them tells her that Jesus will come back in her generation. More than anything today while listening to Ria's testimony, although she is probably in her late 20s, i could see a 12 year old girl, filled with love, passion, and contagious energy that only shines with Jesus's love.

Don't search for why God loves you, because you'll never find out why.
Today we started this weeks lecture called Plumbline. A plumbline is an instrument used since ancient Egypt to construct a building. The plumbline is used to make sure the blocks are being properly and vertically stacked. This week we are going to use a spiritual plumbline to see what building blocks inside of us are crooked, and attempt to inner heal.
