For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchangd the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
-Romans 1:21-23-
sounds like for the Gentiles?
despite my grades. I neither truly glorified him, nor fully gave thanks to him.
Deep in my heart I know there is some part of me that claim myself to be wise. Wise enough to make it into HC, to get 2Bs, wise enough to perhaps get As for my A levels.
But no, I shall not exchange the glory of the immortal God for images of a 4A & A1 A levels cert.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!! Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey - whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
-Romans 6:15-16-
a little warning from my sister last night about Anti-nomanism . i'm appauled how great congregations, so famous and having blessed so many in the faith can fall just like this.
its the end days. and we are to be on our guard..for the enemy is like a lion prowling around us.
I was just so insensitiveto the Holy Ghost. I was listening to hillsongs that day and it dawned on me that secular music may carry the spirit of anti-Christ. and then it dawned on me, what if.. what if one day Christian music required discernment too? What can I do without music for the Lord. and i concluded that those days are dark, and far off.. perhaps in the later part of my life. It would be terrible! I thought.
But I forgot I was uncomfortable listening to some lyrics in the United We Stand album.
I didn't realised.

I knew such days would come. with increased intensity and frequency. But it just startles me how near it is. You know, i find my looming A levels dwarfed so greatly by this urgent matter.
You who don't believe in Christianity, who don't believe in my God.. who are my friends and respect me for my faith. thank you :)
But read this below, it won't take too much of your time nor cause any harm to you
this written about 2 millenia ago:
if one day you find the world coming to a horrible state, rmb.. it was long foretold.
Signs of the End of the Age
As he (Jesus) was leaving the temple, one of this disciples said to him. 'Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!'
' Do you see all these great buildings?' replied Jesus. 'Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.'
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 'Tell us, when will these thigns happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?'
Jesus said to them:' Watch out that no one decieves you. Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he', and will deceive many. When you hear wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise agaisnst nation, and kingdom agaisnt kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines, These are the beginning of birth pains.
'You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governers and kings as witnesses to them. And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. Whenever you are arrested and brought to trail, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
When you see 'the abonmination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong - let the reader understand - then let those who are in Judea flee to the moutnains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down or enter the house to take anything out. Let no one in the filed go back to get his cloak. How deradful it will be in those days for pregnant womean and nursing mothers! Pray that this will not take place in winter, because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now - and never to be equaled agian. If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look here is the Christ' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will apear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect-if that were possible. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.
Mark 13:1-23
May the Lord Bless you:)
