The Church



Someone said to me when I was a High school " those people who always go to the church who've done always ungood things are better to those people who sometimes go in the church who've done a lot of good things ". I answered, " I think so, the important for me is I am asking forgiveness and I am doing what's good". I think she told that to me because I sometimes go to the church.

I was a little bit confused to what she'd told me. Because of deeply thinking, I come up with a good realization that even I do good things I must go to church for me to strengthen my faith more and to help others also to strengthen theirs.

When I was high school I go to church if I feel to go and if someone invites me.
I think the reason why I sometimes attend the church is because I am confused where is the church that I must attend. And maybe because of the people who are attending mass always but I don't see it to themselves how they live their faith, they've heard a lot of sermons by the pastors, by the priests but they fail to apply it. I observe that when I am attending the mass there are people who clothes unmannerly, they look saints but deeply their purpose is just to show to other people that they always go to the church.

Even there are a lot of distractions I sometimes go to church with a good purpose in my heart.

Going to church always does not define you as a good person... what defines you as a good person is how you live the teachings of the church and you always rely on your father in heaven for everything that you'll do in your life.

Elder Uchtdorf said " the Church is not an automobile showroom- a place to put ourselves on display so that others can admire our spirituality, capacity or prosperity. It is more like a service center, where vehicles in need of repair come for maintenance and rehabilitation."

As what he said the purpose of the Church is not to put ourselves on display because we have something to prove to our brethren the purpose is to change our lives ( we cannot turn back time for us to correct things that we have made but we can start now, today to change )and to help one another to keep on progress of their faith.

I conclude that the church is a place where we can water ourselves and those who are drought in spirit.

Super Teacher

Everyone can teach, everyone is being called to teach but then just a few of us are chosen. What are your qualities then or mark as a teacher or formally future teacher for you to say that you are the chosen one for the job? What can you contribute to the teaching industry to help the students pursue their study? Or what can you sow in this industry so that people has something to reap? To be a teacher is somewhat indurated because this is next to parenthood which is very crucial responsibility wherein you are going to raise not just one but many. As a student in almost thirteen years, I observed that there is a two kind of a teacher; the teacher who loves their designated subjects to teach and a teacher who loves her/his students. Let’s talk about the two, the first mentioned loves a perfect class a perfect student, he/she likes that everyone of the class must understand the topics given by him/her and if they don’t they are being scolded physically, being embarrassed a...

Repentance through Christ : Isaiah 53

               I have experienced spiritual anguish, this is because of procrastinating the will of the Lord through mundane activities. By reading the talk of President Ezra Taft Benson this line really pricked my heart “Give me a young man who has kept himself morally clean and has faithfully attended his Church meetings.” Regret and guilt are inside me, if only I focused on the things that would benefit my soul and that would make my Father in Heaven happy, If only I pay attention to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit, if only I tried my very best to keep the commandments that the church has taught me maybe now I am already halfway of my mission. I can still remember how our branch president gave me probationary, I felt like I am just a shadow at the corner I cannot participate in the sacrament. I cannot change his decision, I need to face the consequences of my actions, I need to undergo the process of repentance, this way I will have a c...

Be a Friend, Not a Bully

There are stages in life to undergo, and the most challenging stage is knowing and accepting ourselves. I've been at that stage where I am surrounded with my personal insecurities, such as my skin color how I wish to be whiter, my height I want to be taller, and I hate my voice the way I speak, it struggles me a lot, people always bully me of the way I speak because I really have that bad sound, they even belittle me of the things that I do and they ignore me and most of them are my relatives, it hurts me a lot they don't know that I am struggling. My confidence was affected a lot, including family problems it really affected me in meeting other people, also my studies. There are times that  I felt like I had no one to share my problems, my feelings, I am so scared to talk, to open up. I am thankful that I had friends during my college who have been there for me, they inspired me, motivated me and shared their time. Because of them, I felt a sense of belongingness, a...
