Rom 14:15-19

DSCF0029

Rom 14:15 But if your brother is grieved with your food, you no longer walk according to love. Do not with your food destroy him for whom Christ died.
Rom 14:16 Then do not let your good be spoken evil of,
Rom 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
Rom 14:18 For he who serves Christ in these things is well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.
Rom 14:19 So then let us pursue the things of peace, and the things for building up one another.

Here Paul is talking about food as example. How about subsititue the food with other things like clothes, words, books, etc. I believe it do apply to what we wear, how we talk, what we read, how we play. Basically, it is how we behave and how we present ourselves as sons and daughters of God who is above all else.

Think about it, we are prince and princess of the most high God, why we want to behave as a slave to the world?

What is Love

A lovely couple

Rom 13:9 For: "Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not lust;" and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Rom 13:10 It is impossible to love your neighbors or your enemies with our own strength.

Without knowing God's love for us, we won't able to know what is love.

Without the love of God in love, we can't love others.

Love works no ill to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

The Wild

Don't really like this animation.
Appart from the fine detail of graphic, there is nothing really shine in the animation. The story line is very similar to the Marcadascar animation. Kind of you know what's next as the movie goes.

Guess these are all I can remember by now after watched it in cinema few weeks ago.
Samson, the big lion. Because of his bad experience in his childhood, he created glorious stories to hide his past. That actually become a pressure to his son who tried so hard to be like his dad (actually is to be like the dad in his dad's story).
Kids especially boys will like to match up to their father's standard. But a father that setting too high standard, or try to cover up his own weakness will make the kid feels that he is useless, and low self-esteem.
All the things that Ryan (cub) tried to do is just want to please his father, to meet his father's standard. He just want the approval of his father.

Apart from these are bunch of animals who either don't know who they really are or don't what to be who they are.... It doesn't work. It is important to know who we are. Trying to be somebody else is just foo-ing ourselves.
