New Year New Beginning

Happy New Year to All of you out there
2009 has been a year of change fun excitement
Wonder what 2010 would bring with it

New beginning is not possible
Cos all things is predicate upon the past
There is no new beginning from the day
The womb breaks open and out comes your head
All things are just repeating itself
If God smiles on you then you may see new things unfold
But there's never a new beginning
New beginning don't exist
Only continuation of the past
Every now and every future
are continuation of the past

Can we really start fresh in a new year
Illusions that is what it is
No way... No way...Absolutely no way
What's past is done...what is coming
Is tied to the past... no past no now no future
Death is the new beginning
As lonh as we live...
There is no new beginning

Death come and take me with you
To a new beginning
One that i can start all things fresh
And leaves no regrets for the nest generation

Why why why why why why
I just don't understand why

Why why why why why why
Why must people fall in love

Why why why why why why
Why must I be the object of their love

Please please please please please
Let me go and set me free

Please please please please please
Let me live my life carefree

Please please please please please
before i suffocate and die

Galatians 1:1-5

Paul, apostle not from men nor through a man but through Jesus Christ and God Father who raised him from the dead, and who [are] with me all brothers to the churches in Galatia, grace to you and peace from God Father and our Lord Jesus Christ who gave himself for our sins for the purpose of removing us from the present evil time according to the will of God and our Father to whom the glory forever amen. (Own Translation)

1. Paul's apostleship did not originates from or in man. He did not receive the title 'apostle' from some council or organization. He received the commission from Jesus Christ and God. This si so unlike certain 'apostles' of our time who received their title from some manmade council. The more ridiculous thing is that those who dish out the titles do not feel ashamed at all. Who gives them the authority to 'knight' themselves and others as apostle? The only authorized person to give another that honor is Jesus Christ (who gave himself for our sins) and God (who raised Jesus from the dead).

2. Jesus did not climbout of the tomb by himself. It is God Father who caused him to come back from the dead. The resurrection was accomplished by the power of God.

3. Paul has a community that stands with him (the brothers with him). This community to certain extend act as the guarantor of Paul's message and character. Church is a community that backs up the message of her messenger and acts as the discerning body as well. Today we don't see the church members fulfilling this role. The Senior Pastor becoems the gatekeeper and the members are passive. But this was not the way it was...may we regain this precious heritage lost in institutionalized church.

4. The purpose of Jesus' sacrifice is to remove us from this evil age. How many times have we forgotten that life in Christ begins here on earth and not in heaven. We must start to live the kind of life that God intents for us and not slack and wait to go heaven.

5. Jesus die according to the will of God. Jesus said the same thing in John, "this command I receive from my Father, to lay down my life and to pick it up again."

Let Me Be

This world...a cage and press-machine
trying ever so hard to hold you in
and mould you to its liking...

Being different ... not conforming
is such difficult task to achieve...
A battle that seems pointless and futile

Why can't we be different..
Why can't we allow others to be different...
Why can't we set others free to be?

What is wrong with being single...
What is wrong to be not in love...
What is wrong to be alone through life's journey?

People I pray please let me go
Let me be free to be...
Let me go the way I was made to be...

Dear God...give me strength to stand
To endure till the end...
Till I see your beautiful hand
