PATHIAN BIA HE- THAZANG PEKNAK

God’s answered is different from my prayer I asked God grant to me patience. God said, No. patience is byproduct of tribulation. It isn’t granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No.  Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own. But I will prune you to make you faithful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give life, so that you may enjoy all things. I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me. God said, finally you have the idea. Now I know, “Love is the greatest thing in the world.”

         Human suffering is the most difficult to explain. There is no doubt that we sometimes suffer as the result of our own sins. But much of the suffering we experience in life is due to other reasons. ü   We suffer because we live in a fallen world corrupted by the sin of Man. ü   We suffer because suffering refines us in righteousness. ü   We suffer because suffering restrains us from falling in love with this evil world and therefore helps us to maintain an eternal perspective, reminding us that we are to be aliens and strangers passing through this world to a better life in a new, perfected world. ü   We suffer because suffering motivates us to lean hard upon the Lord, trusting in Him as we have never done before. ü   We suffer because the faith we demonstrate in the midst of suffering brings honor and glory to God. And, yes, we suffer for purposes known only to God Himself. God's answer to suffering is to embrace it--to redeem suffering through suffering.

In the middle of the 1300s, the religious atmosphere during in this time as pertaining to popular piety as well as the official teaching of the church evoked an increased fear of death as clergy portrayed God as extremely vengeful. Christ was pictured more so as a supreme severe Judge rather than a merciful Savoir.  The existing Gospel of salvation in this time age evolved from the church’s high view on sacraments wherein grace was dispensed by the Church. God’s forgiveness for sins, for example, was believed to be obtainable only through the sacrament of penance administered by priests. In connection with the sacrament of penance, there was the church-authorized selling of indulgences that could be substituted for the third part of penance. The prevalent ignorance of many led people to believe that they could purchase forgiveness of their sins. This is the primary factor that ignited Martin Luther’s rebellion against the papacy. In response to the abuses of selling indulge

1. Praise and worship biafang fiangternak “Praise & Worship” biafang hi lai holh in kan ngei rih lo. “Praise” ti cu “Thangthat” ti a si i “Worship” ti cu “Biak” tinak a si ko.  Mirang nih, “Praise is about God, worship is to God. Praise is opening up, worship is entering in. Praise is boldly declaring, worship is humbly bowing in the presence of a Holy God. Praise applauds what God has done, worship is honoring God for who He is” an ti. “Thangthat” ti cu Pathian kong kan thangthat a si i, “Biak” ti cu Pathian kan biak khi a si an ti. Cucaah, pumhnak ah Praise & Worship hla kan sa i caan kan hman tikah “Thangthat” he “Biak” he a sullam a ngeih a herh. Rick Warren nih cun, “The heart of worship is surrender,” (Biaknak i a muru cu pum i up nun hi a si) a ti. Rom ca kuat 12:1 ahcun, “Pathian nih a kan zaangfahnak a nganmi ruangah hin, Pathian sinah a nung in pekchanhmi raithawinak bantuk in i pe tuah u; a rian ah aa pumpemi le cohlan awk tlakmi si tuah u; cucu biaknak ta
