As everyone who had attended the Hot pot this week,  I don't think I need to mention names here, but honestly my opinion on it and I am serious about this all, I want to express this to all others. I am not sure where this topic should fall under given some circumstances, but as I have spoken to a "few" people last night about it and after reading some parts in the book called "The Purpose Driven Life"  written by Rick Warren, is a very powerful, yet meaningful book, that I believe everyone should read it, including believers and non-believers of Christainity!

Drawing on some points I believe I should share w/ others here:

1. ONLY on regular contact w/ ordinary, imperfect believers can we learn real fellowship and experience the New Testament truth of being connected and dependent on each other.

• What has happened has happened. We can't say and say it "It is all my fault and I should be all to blame", but it is not. Truly, and strong supporter of Christainity, one must stand in the same boat as the person "sinned", but with intergrity and strength to be there for the person "sinned". We cannot turn our backs to the person, we must all face the truth. We can't just let this slide and not helped him/her back up. If we believe what is true and in pretense be there for the person, I believe it would be a lot better; Don't u agree?

2. If you know someone who is wavering spiritually right now, it is Your Responsiblity to go after them and bring them Back into Fellowship!

• As mentioned above, and right now, I want to you to "Encourage one another daily...so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness."....'Mind your own business' is not a Christain phrase. We are called and commanded to be involved in each other's lives. Honestly, when I spoke to Jermyn last night at first, he really sound "let downed" and umm..."saddened" about everyones (I don't know what exactly everyone's reaction was), but I can feel it within his voice, he felt depressed and worried. Why am I telling all of you this, because when someone ended up with this matter at their hands, and realized afterwards, it is really hard to get back up. Yes I have forgiven him on behalf of God/Father In Heaven, Jesus Christ and myself...why do I have the authority to say so this to him, well it would be a long while to explain it all here...But truly, I feel that both God/Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ do deeply forgiven him, and if everyone has learnt their lessons, then I believe things will get better real soon. It doesn't have to take the matter any further than this. And I believe that myself and Joseph and Jane would probably agree w/ me too.

3.The bible tell us to "speak the truth in love" because we can't have a community without candor. Solomon said "An honest answer is a sign of true friendship" (Proverbs 28:23). Sometimes this means caring enough to lovingly confront one who is sinning or is being tempted to sin. Paul says, "Brother and sisters, if someone in your group does something wrong, you who are spiritual enough should go to that person and gently help him/her right again." (Galatians 6:1-2 {NCV}).

• As what is said here, these important points are very important to take note of. Truly, we should all take a look at ourselves and find out why "what has happened" turn out the way it did. All I know is that I was spiritual enough to approach Jermyn with comforting words, but not only that I was able to share the pain with him; in the end I ended up getting him to smile again. Even though I can't see it from him, I can feel that he felt a lot better talking to me about it and for me to take that "extra" time to share many things that I believe are worth taking the time to share with. For me I am totally glad to hear that smily voice back from him (that smile that he had in him when I first met him on a 'first impression' bases before the incident happened); but what I am getting at is "when conflict is handled correctly, we grow closer to each other by facing and resolving our differences-the bible tells us 'in the end, people appreciate frankness more than flattery." (1 Corinthians 2:14)

So I will end it here for now...computer time is up for me... But god bless us all and our sins are forgiven Ahem.
