CHRISTian

Crushed by the slaughter of Ethiopian Christians, (or at least mostly Christians) in Libya got me thinking how far people are willing to go for the truth they believe in. The big picture being the fact that the people in yellow outfit being slaughtered, I also had the curiosity of seeing the men in black with face masks on, ready to make use of the big silver knives on their hands and subsequently doing so.

 In this short life of mine, I have seen people doing many cruel stuff but this is by far the cruelest thing I have ever witnessed! The natural reaction for such act being sad and broken (at least for me), these men had their heads up, celebrating of their "achievement"!

It comes obvious that there was some serious brain-washing preceding this un-natural reaction. People can do what-ever they want to if they are convinced thoroughly. The things we think are obvious and natural are not necessarily universal, rather personal results of continuous brain-washing. The reactions that we develop to stuff, the things that we consider are normal norms all come from our previous experiences and stored information. 

I, with full heart, antagonize the actions of this men but truth be taken, learned a lesson from them. You can go the furthest distance for the truth that you believe in.

I am a Christian, I believe in the gospel and the joy in sharing it. I don't care if you think its naturally weird that I speak of Jesus in the middle of " normal" conversation, I don't care if you think I am not doing the right thing in sharing the gospel to a total stranger, I don't care if you think I am stupid praying for a patient with un-curable cancer while simulating to do physical examination, after all this is NORMAL for me!

May God bless us all with understanding of what is NORMAL in CHRIST-ian!

 Contemporary debates weather listening to secular songs is baffling believers. It started of with a gospel singer published a "secular-sounding"video, much worse she performed with non Christian artists. I hear people arguing which was worse, singing the song or working with non Christian artists.  Ethiopian protestant church has been known to be so conservative when it comes to matters of secular songs. Be it a love song or a song about washing hands or getting up so early to go to work it has all been condemned sin. People who do so are outcasts and the wrath is more terrifying if you are by any means a performer of this sort.  Let me put my firm stand on this matter that I think secular songs are of zero benefits for a believer. I do not think they are necessarily a gateway to hell fire as they say so [whereby Gelatians 5 is overstated by many] I just think a believer is so busy training to be more Christ like and shouldn't be dealing with matters as silly.  When...

 Like many raised in Christian family,I was thought to pray in the morning, before meals and be thankful. But it took some growing up to really understand the true significance of giving God credit to everything, including those you think you achieved on your own. At times we get used to God's gifts and think it's just there for us to enjoy or we worked for it.  On Luke 12, Jesus spoke about a man who stored products that may keep him "happy and satisfied "for long. There is no question about the decipline or the hard work from this man. It doesn't say this guy stole or cheated or by any means acquired his wealth inappropriately. It's all the products he achieved fair and square. He worked so hard, he stored and he can live long happy, after all that how it has always been!All the men before him, all who worked hard to store they have all enjoyed thier wealth for long. So how can he be different? You work, you collect your enjoy!  Little did he know it's n...

The way I felt about the issue

In medicine, we have a thing called referred pain. If you haven’t grasp is already, it’s when one part of your body gets sick and the pain gets diverted to another organ. The reason behind is the nerve supplying the affected part also supplies the other “un-involved” part; in simple words, one feels pain essentially on the “wrong spot!” Externally speaking, these organs seem healthy without the original pain being on site, but they feel the excruciating effects of the injury, even worse at times! I have taken the freedom to extend this concept to a greater scale. In a way, assuming what would have happened if the original insult happened on the referred site, whether the secondary part is protected from an injury of that scale? What if the acid burning the gastric mucosa was poured on the back; what if the effects of tuberculosis causing heart damage were applied to the shoulder? The truth, I think, is some of the secondary sites are less protected; the only thing keeping them from...
