Emergency Kit


My comment: Take your spiritual emergency kits: truth, righteousness, readiness, faith, salvation, and prayer (Eph 6:14-18).


October 28, 2010 — by David C. McCasland

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. —Ephesians 6:13

For a dozen years, I took an auto emergency kit on every long driving trip but never had to use it. It became such a familiar item that on the night we really needed it, I forgot it was there. But fortunately my wife remembered.

After hitting a deer on a dark rural highway, our van was completely disabled. While I fumbled with a small flashlight to assess the damage and call a tow truck, my wife opened the emergency kit, set out a reflective warning marker, then turned on the bright flashlight, much to my surprise. Later we talked about how a crisis can cause us to forget the resources we have, just when we need them most.

Paul urged the Ephesians to “put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Eph. 6:11). This protective covering includes truth, righteousness, readiness, faith, salvation, and prayer (vv.14-18). Although these spiritual resources guard us each day, we need to remember them when disaster strikes and the enemy tries to undermine our confidence in God’s love and care.

Use the kit. “Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (v.13).


When Satan launches his attack,
We must take heart and pray;
If we submit ourselves to God,
He’ll be our strength and stay. —Sper

God provides the armor, but we must put it on.

How to relate with people who have passed away?


Chili Sui Khur Lai Pawl le Rundamnak Thuthang Tha

--by San No Thuan

Chili ram ih sui le lung mankhung dangdang pawl laihnak pi a min ih khur sungah a laitu minung 33 pawl an runhim daan thu ka ruah rero tikah, Pathian ih in duhdawtnak le rundamnak thuthang tha thawn a pehpar aw zet ti ka hmu. An laihmi mi a olnak in "Sui Khur" tiah ka ko mei ding. Pathian in a lo duhdawt zia thei sin ding in ….

An sui Khur a cim

August 5, 2010 ah Chilli ram ih suikhur lai pawl minung 33 cu an sui khur a cim ih leilung sung ih pi 2300’ sungah an taang. A nungtu an um pei maw tiah an zingzoi tikah, minung 33 rori an nung ti an theih cun, an lungawi tuk. An nufa le an rampi cu an lungawi tuk ih, ziangzat a cem khal le ti in, runhimnak hnatuan an thok.

Minung pawl hi sualnak sungah kan lut kan lut ih, neta bikah pawt thei nawn lo in, sualnak hi huham in in khuh cihcih. Kan thih khal le taksa lawng thi si lo in, kan thlarau tiang hell ah a thleng ding. Cu ti ih ruahsannak nei nawn lomi dinhmun kan si lai ah, Pathian cu a sersiammi kan si ruangah, in duhdawt tuk ih, ziang tiin ka rundam ding ti a hram thok in a tim tuah cia a si. Adam le Eve an sual pek thok in cui timtuahnak lang ter duhah, saphaw in an taksa a hup sak a si. A langhter duhmi cu nan sual ngaithiamnak dingah, thisen a luan a tul a si ti a lang ter.

Rundamnak hnatuan an thok

Chili ram pi cun, lungkua leihnak dingih a tha bikbik cet an hawl ih, minung 33 ih umnak zawn ah minung tlem in sun le zaan ti lo in, kua an lai. Cumi sung hmuahhmuah cu kua dang fate pakhat a um ih cumi in telephone le hman bilu in, an zuk an zoh aw. An bia aw. Tirawl an vun pe. Ni 69 a rei hnu ah an umnak lungkua sung an vung thleng. An lungawi daan cu a mak tuk. An nufa pawl khal an tap. Chili suikhur laitu hnatuantu pawl khal an mitthli a tla. An lungawi tuk.

Manuel Gonzalez a vung tum

Cutheh hnu ah, minung pakhat lawng to theimi thir kuang an tuah. Cumi sungah, zosi a vung tum ding ih a vung run ding tiah an ti tikah, Manuel Gonzalez timi pa in, keimah ka feh ding tiah a ti ih, a vung tum. Gonzalez a vung tum hnu ah pakhat hnu pakhat kha cui thir kuang sungah a ret ih, a hun suah. Cuti in, suikhur lai minung 33 cu leilung par ah an hung thleng.

Cuvek in, Pathian in Thukham hlun sungah cun, “Aw” in maw, meisa in maw, cun, meiro in maw a hmel a lang ter. Pathian ih sinak ngaingai zohman in an rak hmu thei lo. Asinan, Thukham thar sungah, Jesuh Khrih cun keimah ka vung tum ding a ti ih, Van sunlawinak pawl hmuahhmuah taan in kan sualnak hrang ih nunnak liam dingah le sual ngaithiamnak thlen ter dingin, a rung tum. A thlam lawng ih an rak hmuhmi Pathian cu kan mit ih kan hmuh theinak dingah a tak in minung pianhmang keng in a rung tum. Jesuh Khrih cu a rung tum men lawng si lo in, kan sual ngaithiam kan si theinak ding hrangah, kan sual man a nunnak a liam lai hrih. Cu tluk in in duhdawtu Pathian a si.

Rundamnak cu na fel ruangah a si lo!

Mi hrek khat in, mai thatnak tel lo cun, ka felta lo cun, ka nunnak ka tthin ta lo cun, Pathian in ka sualnak I ngaithiam thei lo ding an ti. Sui khur lai minung sawmthum kha an that ruangah si lo. An fel ruangah si lo. Chili mipi ih duhdawtnak le zawnruahnak ruangah a si. Cuvek in, Bawi Jesuh in, kan fel ruangah si lo. Kan that ruangah khal ah si lo. In duhdawt hrimhrim ruangah a si. Zovek, ziangvek sualnak tuahtu na si khal le Pathian ih duhdawt hrimhrimmi ka si, a rundammi pakhat ka si ti hngilh hlah. Mi sual kan si lai hrimhim Jesuh cun, kan mah run ding in a rung tum ih a nunnak a pe si (Rom 5:8).

Pathian ih rundammi lak ih tel lomi pawl cu Satan le a rualpi pawl lawng an si. An nih in kan sualnak ai ah Jesuh a thi ih, kan sualnak cu ngaidam a si zo an ti thei lo. Asinan, nang cun, Pathian ih sual khuathim huham sung ih rundamnak le sual ngaithiamnak cu ka hrang a si tiah na rak ti thei. Ziangah tile, Pathian in a fapa cu leilungmi zate hrangah a run thlahmi a si (John 3:16). Kolose 1:13-14 sungah, an sualnak pawl khal Jesuh Khrih ruangah, in ngaidam theh zo a si tiah a ti. Cui rundamnak na zum a si ahcun, cui rundamnak hna a lo tuansaktu Jesuh Khrih kha na zum tinak a si ruangah, thimnak in tleunak ah, sualnak huham sung le kumkhua thihnak sung in, duhdawtnak huham sung le kumkhua nunnak sungah na lut zo a si. Kumkhua nunnak neitu na si zo tinak a si (1 John 5:13).

Pathian mithmuh ah mithar na si zo!

Jesuh Khrih sungah Pathian in kan nunnak cu a ret zo ih, kan ai ah kan sualman a kuan ter. Curuangah, Pathian hmai ah kan nun hlun le sualnak pawl cu Khrih thawn thinglamtah par ah a thi theh zo (Col 2:14). Khrih kha thihnak in thawh ter a si tikah, kan nih khal thawh ter sal kan si ve. Curuangah, Bible in, Khrih sung ih a ummi hmuah cu mithar an si zo tiah a ti (2 Kor 5:17). Pathian ih mithmuh ah mithar, Khrih ih thisen ih leimi Pathian ih fanu le fapa kan si (Efesa 1:3-8). Pathian ih in a tharmi nun thawn thawh sal theinak a lo pek. Buddhist pawl cun, kan sual a si ahcun, cui kan sualnak cu kan mah in kan kuan sal ding tiah a ti. Na duh ah duh lo ah na tuar ta rori a tul ti hi an pommi a si. A kut a balmi kha a kholnak hmun an nei nawn lo. Asinan, kan Pathian cun, a hlan ih kan sualnak vek in in lehrul siang lo in, kan sualnak hmuahhmuah cu thinglamtah a phiat fai theh. Jesuh thisen in kan sualnak pawl cu in kholhfai sak theh ih nun thar te in thawh sal theinak (a fresh start) in pek a si (2 Kor 5:17).

Rundamnak hrangah $ 20 millions a cem

A zate ih hih suikhur lai tu pawl an runnak hrang ih a cemmi hi $ 20 millions a si. Company le acozah pi cun, an cem zet nan, sui khur laitu pawl in zianghman an cemmi a um lo. Lei par ih an hung thlen tikah, lei par in a rak hmuaktu President pa, Sabastian Pinera le mipi pawl kha kan lungawi tuk tiah lungawi thu an sim. Cuvial. Culawng an tuahmi a si.

Cuvek thiamthiam in, vancungram na kainak ding hrangah, Jesuh Khrih cun, a mai nunnak rori liam in a cem. Nang le kei ih cem dingmi zianghman a um lo. Pathian in Jesuh Khrih ih a nunnak a peknak ruangah, ka sualnak I ngaithiammi a si. Sualnak huham sung in I rundamnak a si ti na theih cun, Jesuh a lo runtu kha, I runtu le ka Bawipa tiah pom aw. Cumi lawng hi kan nih ih kan tuah dingmi um sun a si. “Sual ngaithiam ka si zo ih, na fanu le fapa ah I pom zo ruangah ka lungawi” ti mei aw. Cui Jesuh ih sual ngaithiamnak na zum ni le caan cun, thinlung hnangamnak cerhti nung na sung ih a luanni a si.

Tleunak kha nuam tete in an hmuh ter

Lei lung par ih an thlen hnu khal ah ni 69 sung ni hmu lo ih an um ruangah, tleunak an hmuh a si le, an mit in a tuar thei lo pang ding tiah, $ 400.00 man mikherh dum an kharh ter ih, an thlen vete in siizung ah a dam le dam lo tla an check ciamco ta. Ni li sung siizung ih an um hnu ah, inn ah an tlun ter sal. Curuangah, an lung a awi zet ih, Chili ram pacang tha hung si an tum cio ding ti ruahsannak ka nei.

Cuvek in, nang le kei khal, nuam tete in, tleunak kha kan mit in kan hmu sin ding ih, lungawinak lungput thawn, in runtu kan Pathian hrangah le a ram hrangah rintlak nucang, pacang tha si ding zuam sin uh si.

Thunetnak

1. Nang cu sualnak huham sung ih tangzomi na si. Nangmah te runhim aw thei na si nawn lo. Vancungram kai thei khal na si nawn lo.

2. Asinan, Pathian ih na fel ruangah le that ruangah si lo in, Amah cu duhdawtnak Pathian a si ruangah, a lo duh dawt hrimhrim ih, a fapa a run thlah.

3. A fapa in, na sualnak pawl hrangah a nunnak na hrang a liam. Curuangah, Pathian ih mithmuh ah sual ngaithiammi na si zo. Sual leiba kuan ding nei nawn lomi na si zo. A thar in na nunnak na thok thei zo.

4. Vanram na kainak ah, nang ih cem dingmi pakhat hman a um lo nan, Pathian in a cemmi cu a fapa Jesuh Khrih a si. Jesuh in kei na hrangah ka nunnak ka liam, nang teh ka hrangah ziang na pe ding tiah a lo sut. Maih nuam timi nun ah na nunnak na hmang lai ding maw? Khrih le Vangcung uknak na umnak kipah kim tertu ah so na nunnak le tikcu na hmang ding?

How Can I Know My Destiny?

My Comment:

What you are is God's gift to you and what you make of yourself for others is your gift to God.


Tuesday, October 26, 2010

by Rick Warren

"Each of us, as a good manager of God's different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift we have received from God." 1 Peter 4:10 (TEV)

"You have a responsibility to be a good steward of those gifts - not for selfish uses, but for the good of others. "

Do you know what God created you for? Do you know what your destiny is? There are four things you need to do in order to fulfill your destiny. I want to take you through those things over the next few days using illustrations from the book of Esther.

God gives you gifts
The first thing you must do is recognize the gifts God has given you to use. These are the cards you are dealt in life. They include the things you can't control - your parents, your nationality, your race, your language. They also include your SHAPE - your spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality and experiences. These are the things that make you uniquely you.

Now you are not responsible for the gifts God didn't give you. In other words, if you are not artistically gifted, you are not expected to paint pictures like Rembrandt. But you are responsible for the ones he did give you.

When you get to heaven, God isn't going to compare you with anyone else, but he will compare you with yourself. What did you do with what you were given? What could you have done if you had trusted God a little bit more? Romans 14:12 (NIV) says, "Each of us will have to give personal account to God."

Esther had three assets that God gave her to use to fulfill her destiny. She was intelligent, beautiful and she had an attractive personality. Because of these qualities, "Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her ... she then won the king's favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen" (Esther 2:15b, 17 NIV).

God gave Esther these gifts for a purpose. God has given you gifts for a purpose. And just like Esther, you have a responsibility to be a good steward of those gifts - not for selfish uses, but for the good of others. Your gifts are not for your benefit. God gave you gifts for the benefit of other people.

In order to know your destiny, you have to know your talents and decide how to use them. So I have a homework assignment for you. This week I want you to make a list of the gifts God has given you - don't forget to include your SHAPE and the things you can't control. Ask yourself, "What has God given me for good to use for good?"

Suahlannak thu le Christian Nun


By.. Pastor Tom Fry
Suahlannak 12:1-13
Lantak puai thu:
Thukham hlun hi Jesuh ih in tuahsakmi a langh tertu a si. Lantak puai a suahnak thu khal ah, Israel mi pawl Pharoah ih sal sung in Pathian a suah ter duh tikah, tuu thisen kha an inn tunglam le phei lam ah a thuh ter. Cui thisen umnak inn hmuahhmuah cu thihnak in a kaan theh a si. Thihnak in zianghman a ti thei lo.
Jesuh in misual nang le kei luat theinak ding hrangah a thisen Calvary tlaang par ah a luang ih sualngaithiamnak le rundamnak hna a theh zo a si. Cumi Jesuh ih thisen kha, sual ngaithiamnak ding hrangah a rinsantu cu thihnak in in ti thei lo. Kan kiang ahcun a feh ding nan in ti thei lo ding.
Kan taksa a thih ih kan mit kan hun siin vete in, Pathian hmaika ahcun, mitmen hram kan thok zo a si. Curuangah, thihnak in zianghman kan par ah a ti thei lo.
Zumtu tampi in cui thuthangtha kan thei ih kan zum hnu ah kan tlu bah thei lai. Sualnak kan tuah thei lai. Cumi sualnak kan neh theinak dingah ziang kan tuah ding?
Suahlannak sungah, Pathian in tuu thisen lawng an innsangka kap ah hnuh a fial lo. A dang pakhat a fialmi cu “Thilnu” (yeast) tel lomi sang nan ei pei tiah a ti. Thilnu hi pawnghmuk suannak ah an hmang theu. Cumi cun, sanghlom vate kha tumpi ah a karh tertu a nungmi thil pakhat a si.
Sualnak le thilnu ih an hnatuan daan hi a bang aw zet. Sualnak khal hi daithlang in kan um ih, kan lungsung a sir te ih a rat tikah, kan dawi lo le, a uknak kha a karh ter sin dingih, na fimnak, mawinak, cahnak, le thazaang, na thinnomnak le hnangamnak pawl khal a zate in a lo laksak theh ding a si.
Vei khat ah pafa te hram lak lamzin ah an feh. Thingkung faate pakhat lamzin ah a kheu ih a pa in, ka fa khami kha phawi aw tiah a ti ih, a va cun, ol zet in a phawi ih a hlon.

An feh sin ih, thingkung tum nawn pi kha lam zin ah a kheu ih a pa in phawi hlo sal a fial. A fapa cun, a tha a suah rero nan, a phawi thei nawn lo. Cuvek in, sualnak khal a faatet lai ihsin kan phawi hlo lo a si le, a tum deuhdeuh le ol ai te in hlon a ol nawn lo ding.
Curuangah, kan nunnak le thinlung sungah sualnak in hram a bun lonak ding hrangah ziang kan tuah ding?
1. Bawipaih hnen ah thlacam in, na duh lo zawng ka tuah pangmi a um maw. A um le I sim aw tiah, dil uh si (Psalm 139:23).
2. A um a si ahcun, Jesuh ih thinglamtah thihnak ah feh in, Bawipa I ngaithiam hram aw tiah tiah ti uh si. Cuti ih ngaithiam na dil a si ahcun, Pathian in, cui thilnu bang ih a karh theimi na sualnak cu karh thei nawn lo ding in, a lo ngaihtiam ding ih, a lo hlon sak ding (1 John 1:9).
3. Bible ca siarnak le Pathian ih aw ngainak a simi thlacamnak thawn thazaang la ringring aw.

A va lungawi um em!

1. Pathian thupek ngai ih thlun hi thlawsuah conak a si. (Sem. 12:1- 5).

Abram in BAWIPA ih fial vekin a tuah. Abram cu kum 75 a ti tikah BAWIPA ih fial vek in, Haran khua ihsin a pawk suak (12: 4). Pawk-suak nun neih hi thlawsuah conak dawh hna a si.

3. Tihzah nak thawn Pathian biak ringring hi thlawsuah hmuifu conak a si.(Sem.12:7-8)

Abram thlawsuah a dawnnak pakhat ih ka theih mi cu khui tawk hmun,ram a va thlen kip ah a nung Pathian tihzahnak thawn a be ringring thei ruangah a si. Kan nih hman in neltu, in duhdaw-laina tu, in tihzah le upat tu, in pehtlai tu le pawlkawm ringring tu,kan thu in ngaitu le thlun tu cu an parah thatnak kan tuah sak duh si lo maw?

Duhdawtmi unau kan nih khal kan umnak kip ah, kan thlennak ram i kipah Abram ih Pathian, kan Pathian cu rinum zet in kan biak a si le cu van thlawsuah le lei thlawsuah in pe ve tengteng ding.

Learning From The Redwoods

My Comment: if God allows even the redwoods to grow up to 379 ft, which is similar to 30 story building, then, he loves to grow your life more than the redwood of California. Don't let anything to hinder your growth. "Grow my son as long as you want with prayer and meditating God's words."


October 22, 2010 — by Mart De Haan
Our Daily Bread Radio is hosted by Les Lamborn
As the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people. —Isaiah 65:22

North America’s Pacific Coast Redwoods are some of the biggest trees in the world. The tallest on record, Hyperion, soars 379 feet into the air.

During a visit to California’s Muir Woods National Park, I was surprised and overwhelmed by the enormity of those redwoods. Trees as tall as a 30- story building seemed to press me into the forest floor while drawing my thoughts upward.

The memory of what I felt at the base of some of the tallest and oldest trees in the world has left me with lingering thoughts about their origin. Those redwoods, like the family tree of our own humanity, are rooted in a Creator who is infinitely and eternally greater than His creation.

The prophet Isaiah caught a glimpse of this God. In a vision that mingled the wonders of a Messianic kingdom with the promise of a new heaven and earth, he describes One who makes the skies His throne and the earth His footstool (Isa. 66:1).

Yet Isaiah saw something even more overwhelming. He saw a great God who wants His people to “be glad and rejoice forever in what I create” (65:18). In response, let’s bow before Him in humble adoration (66:2).


How glorious to think ahead
Of blessings yet to be,
Of help from God while life shall last—
Then joys eternally! —Branon

God’s work of creating is done;
our work of praising has only begun.
