Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Human have a wow wisdom especially wow in terms of technology nowadays. For what we should use wisdom in spiritual not on worldly thing. Verse 1-11, People are really bright through the wisdom that comes from their mind. Where should we really see the true wisdom comes from God? Meaning here Job points out this to his friends that is their wisdom is true by convicting Job. Wisdom cannot change it to gold.

How many times God test Job? 2 times: 1st is in his family and 2nd the disease he has. Job here continues his discourse. Psalm 1:2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. Genesis 13:13 Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men Let us give thanks to the God for the problems or trials we encounter, cause it is the time we are convicted to get close to God.

Here Job ask; "why the wicked are not punished?" God allow trials on our lives to happen. We should be reminded that our lives is not only here on earth. Overall, God sees and knows so that He's name may be glorified. Also just like Job, we always say "why? Why? Why?". God has a purpose why it happen. Instead of asking why, ask why it happen? Men by nature are cheaters and robers. Church will really help us having fellowship, in our faith and walk with God. Foraging means making food. John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

God will be there for you even if all is against you. Job is doing good, in fact he helps people and he has all things. And now his friends accusing Job all over again in this book again and again. Once you are bitter, you are not looking better for yourself. We need to surrender your problems to Jesus and don't keep it for surely you will become bitter. We should not be afraid to talk to God when you're bitter. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. Job wanted to reconcile before God. Part of this book is The testing of Job's Life. Nature of men is we want to defend ourselves, but we should let God alone defend ourselves. In 1 John, you can see in this book that Jesus is our attor...

Here Eliphaz insulted Jon that he is boasting that he is a good man, also Eliphaz described Job as a wicked man and Eliphaz described righteous and wicked. Verse 1-3, what are you good to God? Verse 4-11, Eliphaz described Job as a great wicked. Eliphaz says to Job are not true and we can see that he is not a good friend. Verse 12-20, a contrast between the wicked and the righteous. Verse 21-30, advice of Eliphaz to Job. Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

It's hard for us to copy what Jesus did, to be a true friend. We have to be thoughtful to others. 1st pt. verse 1-16, a true friend loves at all times and 2nd pt. verse 17-29, do not forsake our friends. Maybe you encounter friends always talking about his problem, you should not be annoyed to them instead help them. Zophar said Job was a hypocrite of his sin. Mirth means laughter or fun. Dung means a fertilizer. This is true for those who rejected God, to a lot of famous nowadays. Although he was telling the truth somehow to Job but a true friend will help them in the trials. Amends means punishment. You should know that as Christians we will surely have hardships. John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Even though you have God it doesn't mean you will never have hardship. Some churches teaches if you have God in your life, you will always have bless...

Pastor's Message John 1:4 In Him was light, and that life was the light of men. Do you want to have real life? A life that is meaningful? Full of joy and worth? I think everybody wants to have a kind of life. But the problem is that few people find that "life" - (new, change, renewed life) and most of all not many obtained Eternal life. John clearly expounded, that in Christ there is life, and this life is the "Light of men". In other words, Christ will clear our ways and will give us straight path, so that we'll not turn to right or to the left. Therefore, in Christ we'll have guidance and direction to reach our destination in Heaven for Jesus himself said: I am the Light of world, whoever follows me will never walk in the darkness.
