Thy Word

Romans 15

 ¹ We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. ² Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. ³ For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”^[a] 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
 ⁵ May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, ⁶ so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 ⁷ Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. ⁸ For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews^[b] on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed ⁹ and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
   “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
   I will sing the praises of your name.”^[c]
 10 Again, it says,
   “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”^[d]
 11 And again,
   “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
   let all the peoples extol him.”^[e]
 12 And again, Isaiah says,
   “The Root of Jesse will spring up,
   one who will arise to rule over the nations;
   in him the Gentiles will hope.”^[f]
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

2 Timothy 3

New International Version (NIV)

2 Timothy 3

 ¹ But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. ² People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, ⁴ treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

 ⁶ They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, ⁷ always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. ⁸Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. ⁹ But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

This described my uncle Yao (My mother's sister's husband). She is contemplating about separating from him from a while, he cheated on her many times, controls her allowances......and is extremely hostile towards Jesus.

He matched the above description exactly in verses above.... He is so unhappy and he makes others miserable (especially my aunt). And I knew a certain former pastor who is just like that as well. These people are the mark of the last day phenomenon.

I do not understand how can someone who has so much and is the most ungrateful person on earth.

Most people i know has received so much blessings, and i am not talking about only material

blessings, they got talents, families, friends, but they just stopped going to the Lord

after everything is fine and dandy....and I have known so many people like that, its tiresome for me to even hear them said stuff like…” I want to go to church….but….”blah blah blah””.

no time? don't like the pastors? don't like the people in Church? 

Comm’on….....grow up, the problem is that you (or me) are not thankful! I am afraid if i keep complaining i will end up thinking that the problem is others, but really, the problem is you, me , & ourselves.
