The evil in our desires typically does not lie in what we want, but that we want it too much ~ John Calvin
What is wanting it too much? It is...we become resentful when we don't get what we want or what we ask, also we become paralyse when we lose what we have in possession. ~ it can be anything, praise of men, money, job, career, relationship, status, sport, movies, food, ministry, family, kids, spouse, acceptances, leisure, anything 'good'. - AT

There is nothing wrong

There is nothing wrong to gain a lot of money, but there is something wrong to keep them as if they are my treasure, not God. AT

We are miserable...
Posted by
Anton Triyanto
"Self-salvation through good works may produce a great deal of moral behaviour in your life, but inside you are miserable. You are always comparing yourself to other people, and you are never sure you are being good enough. You cannot therefore, deal with your hideousness and self-absorption through the moral law, by trying to be a good person through an act of the will. You need a complete transformation of the very motives of your heart."

Days without internet

I'm excited about coming up - days without internet, it's such a hard decision to be made, so much satisfying just from surfing the web, find this, find that, explore and access pretty much all of information on the web, been really exhausting. Exhausting when I open more than 15 tabs of firefox, 3 chrome or more, and other applications in the background. My brain most of the times overloaded with gibberish information, I don't think it's very useful, at least for my spiritual life, something that I wish to be an entertainer turned out to be a destructor. In the end of the days internet couldn't satisfy me.
So my days are coming, my days without internet...are coming very soon (at least outside office hours) - I wonder whether I will become more stupid or more clever.
I can spend hours and hours surfing the net and feeling okay for not praying and not reading the bible. It's breathtaking, I hope and pray, that I will find enjoyment, satisfaction in Christ Jesus. Days without Internet, are coming. I will still try to share about my pilgrim's experiences in this stranger world occasionally during my work hour.
