Bible Study


At my age, 67 years old, I open my bible, it is so heavy and the prints are so small. It is really an effort to put myself in that position to study the Bible.
It is 47 years ago that I studied the four Gospels, for my Cambridge School Examination. But now I have to study the whole New Testament for my London School of Theology. The three assignments are killing me. Especially, I have not typed for so long
Salvation and Salvation, Revelation, Parables and Miracles!!!
If God is willing, I will try to accomplish my vision and mission

retire gracefully


I have semi-retired. I am still working at a minumum pace, trying to turn the Indonesian company around. With prayers and hard work, I may be able to do so, working on the business strategy.

I have been serving people, and maybe now I learn to serve God


It is not easy to put myself to the plough again, and study this and that. I am so rusty doing my assignments. Where do I begin? The assignments have to be researched from these bibles and that bibles, accompanied by reading these books of reference, as recommended by London School of Theology.

It is my vision that I am able to serve.

With the help of God, I may be able to complele it.

Amen.


Strange as it may, I read the New Testament, on Salvation, miracles and proverbs, Revelation.
Now it is not difficult, because of Internet

The most insignificant is the most important



If I mention it, it is distasteful.

Please treat it metaphorically, or picture it as a part of anatomy. It will be alright.

The story begins like this:

One day, the body parts have a meeting to debate, who is the most important part of the body.

The fingers starts first, "Do you know that if I do not pick up the food on the table, and put them into the mouth, you will not have any nourishment.

The eyes, without losing the argument, say, "If I don't see the food, can you the fingers go for the food."

The arms and hands stretch the muscles and state, "You see and the fingers pick up, and what so great about it?. If we do not move, what can you all do."

The mouth chides in, "If I do not open my big mouth, a lot of things cannot be done. Simply this is the opening for the food to go in, and then everybody is happy. If I do not want to take action, all of you are just useless.

The debate goes on and there is no conclusion on whoever is important, some parts already gone to sleep, without caring who is important!!

Then somewhere at the bottom, a voice speaks out, "I am important, the asshole!!!"

All the other parts chorus, "You are the asshole, and don't give me the shit???"

The asshole sounds sad, but determines, "I know you all throw me the shit, and whatever rubbish you all pick, you all clear through me."

"I am the most insignificant, but is important", say the Asshole.

"I do like to prove my point, tomorrow, and the next day too, I am not going to do any clearing," meekly put forward by Asshole.

True enough, after two days, every parts of the body begins to ache, and start to show that they are on the way of despair, and desperation.

They beg the Asshole to do the job.

So the asshole asks them, "who is important, but insignificant?"

They finally agree that the Asshole is the most important.

In my message, it is not to look down on people, who is less significant than us. They too may contribute some how, without having to show themselves, to make you aware of their contribution, no matter how small it is.
