Light Of The World!: Avoiding Every Kind Of Evil

Light Of The World!

Hello there, world! I'm Yong Zhen Kheng a.k.a King! I'm a 24 young man who has given my life to God! I face plenty of challenges and mountains daily, but it is by the grace of God that I'm able to stand tall with His strength in such a world that we live in. "Light Of The World!" is the name of my blog. Because in such a dark world that we live in, everyone is looking for that something somewhere somehow to fill and satisfy their souls. And that is where the Word of God comes in, where love and hope are always present and living. God is the Light of the world, and my prayer is that we will go beyond the call of duty to show love to the people around us with the love that He has shown us - That they may know just how real and amazing our God is! This is what we're here for: To show the world how He love it. This is what we're made for: To lay it all down like He did :) Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven and earth, with wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God! And He has chosen us to be the Light of the world, so come let us share the Good News with the world together! (:

>> Sincerely, a man on many missions.

Avoiding Every Kind Of Evil

Dear soldiers in Christ, I am going to talk about "Avoiding Every Kind Of Evil"!

From the Bible, the book of 1 Thessalonians 5:22, it says "Avoid every kind of evil."

Clearly, it is stated here the we should AVOID EVERY KIND OF EVIL! That doesn't mean that we will never meet face to face with evil! It's more like how we deal with it when temptation comes! Temptations are bound to appear in front of us, whether we like it or not. The question is: Are you able to decide the right choice while you are in a tempting situation to sin? When temptations are layed down in front of you, do you try to resist the temptation? Or do you tell yourself to get away from that place? We shouldn't try our best to resist it, but to avoid it! Based on my experience and other people's experience, majority of the people will fall and give in to temptaions when they try to resist! Which is why the best solution not to give in to temptation when it is right in front of you is to avoid it and get your eyes and mind on something else!

For me, I discovered that the heart and the eyes are fairly important! We know that when a person's heart is evil, he will scheme for evil plans! As for the eyes, it is also a major part of your body where satan attacks most! Here's an example for guys, it's easier for me to explain. Let's say you're walking in a shopping mall going to buy some movie tickets, and suddenly, lo and behold, a beautiful girl with a near perfection body appears right in front of you, she is wearing clothes that reveals most parts of her body, what would you do?? Would you stop and stare, and fall into lust? Or would you tell yourself, "Hey man, I've gotta roll my eyes away and get out of this situation!?"

Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me." Honestly, we're really very weak! All our own little human strength can do is that much. But with God, we can live righteously!

So I encourage you to make lifestyle choices that will not lead you to sin! You can do it! =)
