How many of you still love me? --this is often asked by our church Pastor every time his preaching would focus on topics that might sound hurtful but true. And we know we're getting sermons like that because we need it. It's funny when almost three fourths of the congregation would have their head bowed down - a reaction whenever Pastor would hit a nerve but they could not disagree with him because what he's saying is true so they don't have a choice but put their hands up and admit that "yes we still love you Pastor" so continue hitting our butts. We all need a good big fat slap sometimes. It's not really wise to just follow what other people say "do whatever makes you happy" especially if getting that happiness means hurting other people on the way.
Be responsible!
Anyway, his preaching is all about "KNOWLEDGE" ---getting it, keeping it and what to do with it.
I would not write here the whole preaching but the gist of it.
How to get knowledge?
READ!
How to keep it?
List down new information
What to do with it? Apply it in your daily life
He said young people should READ to be successful
And old people should READ to continue being successful
He's the same pastor who said that SAVING is the key to getting rich - save! save! save!
But last Saturday, he said "go to Power books or any book store and BUY A BOOK (except comic books) and READ!
He said "Ignorance is expensive"
But knowledge is more valuable than gold.
I am a very obedient person and I always listen to my Pastor
So now, I am on my way to my favorite book store........
Woo Hoo!!!
Am I so happy to have another excuse for buying a new book?
Definitely!!!
Oh and I need a new book case too.
Seriously, people should read more especially teenagers. Video games and comic books would not be very helpful to your future.
