Those who went before us: George Muller

Supposedly his face itself is a sermon.

Does it shine like a child?

Seriously though, his biography is very encouraging. Go read it if you have a chance.

Learning to labour

I'm a lazy person. Before I became a Christian I thought I could get away with not trying my best in school, work, and everything I do if I believed God, since He's sovereign and had control of everything. How awful was that thought.

I did not understand that faith alone saves, but saving faith is never alone.

Now I regret not studying hard in university, and wasting too much time on stupid things such as youtube and video games, these actions/choices have become habits and will take time to undo.

Now I want to do something useful for God, it is God's grace and I am happy.

Disobedience due to a lack of understanding

Have you ever desired to please God in a certain situation but don't know how?

I've been in this situation way too many times. It's because I don't know the Bible well enough.

What do I do when someone offends me? What if they don't know it? How do I know i've forgiven them?

What if thoughts of vengeance comes back?

What do I do during this post-graduate time without a job?

How should I treat people who are older, younger, the same age as me?

These are just some questions that keeps on running through my brain. The bible speaks about all these things, but I don't know them.
