Does God has Unlimited Power?

I would like to thank all who has contributed to the discussion on "A Good God in an Evil World." I have learnt much through your comments. I'll make my paper on this subject available for reading when it is done.

I would like to start a new topic for discussion. It is part of the
"God and Evil" topic. The question I would like to ask is -

"Does God has Unlimited Power?"

God is omnipotent! He can do all things! That is what we were taught and told in countless theological classes and sermons. Is that true? It that biblical? Does the Bible really say that God can do ALL THINGS? Are there some things they God cannot do?

A Good God in an Evil World

I'm writing an apologetic paper on "God and Evil." I would very much love to hear your thots on this subject. Anything thots on this subject. I might even use some of them for my paper. When I am done with the paper, you can use it to apologise your friends on this subject. Here are some questions a non-believer will ask on this topic:

1. If God is good then why are there evil in this world?
2. If God is good and all powerful, then why doesn't He remove the evil in this world?
3. The evil in this world proves that there is no God.

Come R-AGE Youth and YA. Its time to think critically about theology. Let's sharpen each others theology so we can be prepared for works of righteousness.

Serving My Family

I was on Annabel's bed, waiting for her to fall asleep. While waiting, I reflected on the day. . . .

Did not go to church today because Sis Jean was not feeling well and Carissa had a fever last night. Had to stay home to look after them. I reflected on my feeling for today. I wanted very much to be in church, to be involve in ministry. There was a tension for me to stay and to go.

I never really had this tension before. Thinking back, I was really involved in ministry during my teenage years. My entire life was given to the ministry. Back then I was a Sunday School teacher. I would spend the entire weekend with my student. During the week I would talk to them over the phone or hang out with them. I don't worry about going home late. There was "freedom" in serving God.

Now that I have a family of my own, it is different. Many a times I am caught in between ministry and family. The apostle said it right, it is better for one to remain single to serve than one who has a family. Because the one who is single do not have the entanglements of having a family (even though they have different sets of problems).

It is easy for me to leave the house with the reason of serving God. I mean, its God's will we are talking here. He has called me into the ministry. It is a CALLING! Jean should understand. But I was was reminded about Paul's instruction to Timonty that a leader needs to care for the family before he is consider suitable of caring for God's family. I will be a laughing stock if the whole youth group would follow me but my family were to forsake me. Is that my ministry? Is that my calling?

A pastor's calling is never easy. The demands on pastors are high. On top of that, they are well aware of divine responsibilities of their calling. It is difficult. What is the solution? Balance! Pastors need to work very hard on balancing between ministry and family. Some say that family is ministry. I agree in part. I say that ministry is part of family. Family is more than ministry. It is FAMILY!

This year's theme is Service. I'm once again reminded that serving God is spiritual. But serving my family is just as spiritual. In fact, I believe that serving my family is an expression of serving God. I'm going to plan my family in my calendar of activity. I will make sure that they get an equal share of me from my ministry as they release me for ministry. How about you? Have you been spending time with your family? Taking time to serve them? Did you do anything this week that make one of your family members happy? - Feel free to comment

In the Hands of a Great Chef

My wife loves to eat pastas, especially the cream based pastas. Me? Not my favourite. However, I really appreciate pastas prepared by great chefs. I would like to start the first blog by pointing you to the Great Chef of this Pasta Korna.

My entire life has been prepared by the hands of this Great Chef of Life. He has season me throughout this life (I somehow have a strong feeling that he will continue to do so). He has put me in hot boiling water to remove the stiffness on my back. Now the Great Chef can bend me with ease as He wishes. He placed me on a plate with some aromatic sauce. He garnished me before putting me out on the table.

Wow, the Great Chef took hold of me and made great pasta out of me. I am truly greatful and thankful for the previlege to be called into the pastoral ministry. What a previlege to be found in the hands of a Great Chef. If you do not know him, I would love to tell you about Him.
