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.

HEAVENLY FATHER

Sometimes we wonder if God really exists, we always question His existence in times of our trials that we always say, ‘if there is God why I am suffering all of this agony in my life’. Brothers and sisters, I testify that there is God. Look around you, you can see many beautiful things, in the land, in the water, and in the sky. What a beautiful creation, right? And everything of these is perfectly designed by God. Think about the galaxy, the constellation of stars, and how perfectly our planet earth designed. All we have is theory on how these planets were created, and no one can prove that the universe's existence has naturally occurred. Like the great things we made here on earth, we designed something, we create something because we have this God-given knowledge to put something into existence. Our activities here on earth are enough to prove that there is only one God, who designed, planned and put all the living and all great things into existence. Our Heavenl...

LOOK BACK FOR YOU TO MOVE FORWARD; 5 Tips for Your New Year's Resolution

Are you all set for the new year? Since I was a teenager, I always do new year’s resolution. And I have seen changes in my life every year, these changes happened intentionally and unintentionally. Intentionally because I work for that change and unintentionally because it just happened, and I cannot control any of it. Setting up a new year's resolution is so much fun, listing all you wanted to do for the next whole year, imagining all the fun and new things to have. It’s amazing! But reality always kick us out of our imagination, and our list of goals and plans will just remain a dream and will remain a new year’s resolution for next coming year and for the next year until you’ll be tired and just forget about it. Many of our goals don’t happen because maybe we are all doing it the wrong way or we’re setting up our new year’s resolution very broad or unattainable. This approaching new year, here are some tips in setting up your new year’s resolution; 1. LOO...

GROWTH MINDSET

What is one step you can take to develop a growth mindset? The human mind is dynamic, sometimes we change our decisions and plans abruptly due to the influence of our surroundings and how strong are we to protect our own thoughts. It’s not bad if it’s for us to grow but most of the time we embrace wrong decisions in our lives that can cause us heartbreaks. This is commonly happening for the youth nowadays, my generation. Because our hearts and minds are fragile, young, and easily persuaded. Once that we are broken, it can be a loss of soul.  Just a few of the youth nowadays who can understand pains as a challenge for growth because the happenings in the world itself are too much for them to carry. In a world full of negative vibrations there is hope. All you need to do is to find it and have it within you. Having hope is the key to a growth mindset. But where to find it? Where to get it? And who can help?   For some people learning is easy because they have a gro...
