My WUNDERFUL car just went for repair two days ago, seems like the clutch spoiled. Costs me Rm 400 !! Summore the mechanic told me that the bearing got problem, to fix it should take around RM 100+ *faints* and then air cond refused to work, which should cost me around another RM 100+ *faints again*
Do the math, RM 400 + bearing (RM 100+) + air-cond (RM 100+) = Around RM 700
*goes into coma*
My dear nissan langley, since 1983, not that it was with me this long, but it was registered then.
Petrol costs me around RM 110 -RM 120 a month
My monthly expenses have rocketed since I got the car.
The thing is that I don't quite enjoy driving
I need the car, but I don't enjoy driving it, ironic isn't it?
Oh ya, one more thing, my exhaust has a hole in it.
and then air cond leak gas, think it's compressor spoilt, RM 280 ..... weeeeee.....
there u have it RM 978
clutch = RM 400
bearing = RM 298
air cond = RM 280

Who are we? What are our standards?
Speaking as a christian, child of God, somebody I'm proud to be.
Can we boldly declare our faith?
I have a friend (non-christian) who told me, about a guy (christian) who has a "pungent" christian smell. Too strong. Is it scaring people off ? How are we to preach the gospel if people stay clear of us ?
Tell me, to what degree should we testify ? Furthermore, our freedom of speech, as quoted from my lecturer is "freedom with limitations". Of course we must do it wisely.....
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matt 10:16
In another context......
The wise don't make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness. Prov 12:23
A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different
Furthermore, I've always believed that action speaks louder than words.
What good is it for us to speak of God's goodness and do nothing about it ?
What kind of story do we tell people when we curse? gossip?
How would the world view us to be ? hypocrites ? pure folly ?
Or just because everybody is doing it makes it fine?
I think I'm a little too critical here, no one is perfect and no one is worthy in God's sight. Pray ye for mercy and grace that we might be slightly better each day.
Anyway, thank you pastor for answering my questions, I'm still full of questions, but at least some answers are clear now.
