Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

So here i am, i am going to challenge you ! yes you reading my post. If you have an online journal, post about YOUR reason for the hope that YOU HAVE. Otherwise, please leave a tag to tell me about it. I’m really very interested to know…seriously!

Tell me, what your convictions are and why are you so sure of Jesus?

I can tell you guys why I’m so sure of Jesus, but I hope I never have to tell you of my convictions again. If it can’t be seen, then it means that I’ve failed to live them out. (See the post on Rhetorical Lives)

My walk with God has came to a point where I can never deny his existence. It’s not yet deep, but its deep enough to confirm that fact. It’s just like a child who is certain that he has a Dad, even though he may not know everything about his dad.

I have studied Him with knowledge and experienced Him with encounters. I would compare his existence to that of the Australia continent; I’ve not only seen it on the atlas, but I have set foot on it.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

If I ever do backslide, I cannot hope to escape with the plead of ignorance. I cannot say things such as “I’m not sure whether God is real.” or “I’m having doubts about my faith in Him.”

If I ever do backslide, it can only mean I have degenerated to the state of stubborn self denial where I know God, but I just don’t want to serve Him. It doesn’t make him any less real, just like how sticking my head into the ground doesn’t switch off the lights.

Don’t ever perform the ridiculous “Ostrich Maneuver”.

How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.

In the world where only heavy weighted opinions matter,
always keep in mind…

Every pawn is a potential queen.

The greatness of an organisation is synonymous to the greatness of its leader. And the greatness of a leader is synonymous to the greatness of his vision

There lies a world of difference between good leadership and outstanding leadership. This quality is one of the most underrated and overlooked aspects.

Good leadership is abundant; just don’t lead your people off the cliff.
Outstanding leadership is a rarity; they discover new continents.

They don’t seem to make Christopher Columbus-es anymore.

No, we are more then just paper drawings of flame.

If God is real, the fire He place in our hearts must also be real. If the fire is real, then something must be burnt, something must be consumed.

We have one life to live.
If our one life is right, one life is enough.
