Crisis?....Christ is!....

When we look to our world we see and experience many crisis. Fuel crisis, food crisis, environmental crisis, financial crisis, etc. These are real life challenges we faced each day. But more challenging than these crisis are the more neglected ones - the emotional, mental, relational, moral and spiritual crisis. When we put all these together, we come up with a crisis stricken world, crisis torn people. So, where do we find cure? Where do we find solution. Where do we run to? Here is my one sentence response: "CHRIST IS THE ANSWER TO ALL CRISIS".

Christ is the Creator and Sustainer of all things...
Christ is the Provider of all we need...
He is the Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer, Healer...
He is Restorer, Forgiver...
He is the Shepherd, The Way, The Truth, and The Life...
He is the Great I Am...
He is King of Kings, Lord of Lords...
He is Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father...
He is JESUS...

CHRIST IS THE ANSWER TO ALL CRISIS!

Vision

She was named by Time Magazine as one of the top 100 most influential person of the century, wrote dozen+ books and countless articles, travel all over the world, met 12 U.S. Presidents and yet she was born blind- Helen Keller was once asked by a reporter, "What is worse that being born blind?", she answered "... having sight without a vision."

Vision is a picture of a desired reality in the future. It is more than sight it's seeing the future with your mind and heart. For the visionary, it is more than a future expectation but a present reality. It's not just what you want to be but what you live today. It's not daydreaming it's living the dream each day.

Vision is so important that the Bible mentioned "...without vision, people perish", and "write down the vision...make it plain...it will come to pass..".

That's why we need a good, God-inspired vision for our life, family, work, and society.

My personal vision:

To be the best follower of Jesus that I could be...
To be the best husband that I could be to my wife...
To be the best father that I could be to my children...
To be the best minister of the Gospel that I could be...
...By Honoring God and Making Disciples...
