Berita Keselamatan - Focus on THE GOOD AND TRUE
"The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man who sowed good seed in his field." Matthew 13:24
A famous author, John C. Maxwell, said that in fact the biggest battle in the human mind. The mind is very powerful and can affect a person's life. Therefore, we must be careful with our thoughts. There's a saying: "sowed in the mind will reap the action; sows in action will reap a habit; sow a habit you reap a character and you reap a character sows life purpose."
Our minds, such as land, never choose and care for what kind of seeds we planted about. If we sow the seeds of corn, the soil will respond, and grow. So, too, if we sow the seeds of paddy or perhaps passing, weeds and nuisance plants once did, the land will still respond to those seeds and grow them too.
Whatever we bear in mind, whether it's the things that any good or negative, our thoughts will soon receive, respond and grow, no matter it will have positive impact / negative impact on our lives: bring to the success or otherwise self-destruction. Conscious or not, we often describe bad things about ourselves: life full of trouble, I'm not going to work, my pain will not heal, my family fall apart, I'm stupid, I do not have anything (poor), my future bleak and so on. Negative things that we say it will be responded to by our thoughts in the form of attitudes and actions, which in time will produce the exact same thing as what we sow. But when we planted the positive things: the spirit or sense of confidence, we thought it would respond to the attitudes and our actions so that our lives will be as we expected. Therefore saith the Lord warned, "... whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is delicious to hear, all that is called virtue and praiseworthy, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8).
The seed that we planted in the mind determines the outcome of our lives!

nanti, bulan demi bulan berlalu? Terkadang gemanya hampir tak
terdengar lagi; bahkan terlupakan atau tak dipedulikan lagi. Ironis,
bukan?
Mari belajar dari Yesus. Meskipun hidup-Nya di dunia diwarnai
penolakan dari para pemimpin agama waktu itu, penyangkalan murid-Nya,
bahkan berujung pada penderitaan di kayu salib, Dia tetap setia.
Komitmen-Nya teguh dalam berbagai keadaan. Bagaimana Dia dapat tetap
setia sampai akhir? Kuncinya terungkap dari ucapan-Nya, "Makanan-Ku
ialah melakukan kehendak Dia yang mengutus Aku dan menyelesaikan
pekerjaan-Nya" (ayat 34).
Dia berpuasa empat puluh hari empat puluh malam, dan selama itu Dia
tak pernah absen melakukan kehendak Bapa. Dia pernah meminta agar
cawan penderitaan berlalu dari-Nya, tetapi Dia menyerahkan kembali
keputusan akhirnya ke tangan Bapa. Dia tidak pernah hidup di luar
kehendak Bapa, sebab hidup-Nya adalah untuk melakukan kehendak Bapa.
Inilah yang membuat hidup-Nya menjadi teladan komitmen yang sempurna.
Komitmen yang dijaga dengan setia sampai akhir.
Bagaimana dengan kita? Hidup kita perlu diisi tidak hanya dengan
berbagai perbuatan baik menurut ukuran dunia, tetapi juga dengan
melakukan kehendak Bapa setiap saat. Tantangan pasti ada, tetapi mari
kita teladani kesungguhan-Nya untuk melakukan kehendak Bapa dalam
segala keadaan. Buatlah komitmen untuk setia menjadi saksi-Nya dan

Berita Keselamatan - Fear The Positive
A year of reading Scripture: Psalm 121; 2 John 1; Ezekiel 42, 25
In the event of a great thunderstorm, a mother and her child was put to bed kemudia room lights turned off. But because of the storm, the boy then asked, "Mama, Mama would go with me to sleep tonight?" Hugging her, the mother replied, "No way, honey. I had to sleep with Daddy." When he came out of her room, her mother heard, "Daddy Basic coward!"
The story above of course only a joke, but the fear is the real thing. For some, the fear must always be negative connotations. But was it? In the Bible that you and I read, there are verses of Scripture that states that fear can lead to something positive. One verse that I mean is in II Chronicles 17:10, which reads, "fear of the LORD upon all the kingdoms of the countries around Judah, so that they do not dare to fight against Jehoshaphat".
When you read II Chronicles 17 starting from verse 3 to verse 10, you'll find that King Jehoshaphat wanted people to have respect and fear of the Lord. So do not be confused when he finally made the major provision that all the people who lead must learn the law of God. He knew that if people respect for God, they will be humble and obey God. Doing what is right will bring prosperity to Judah and the respect of other kingdoms.
Proverbs 15:33 says, "The fear of the Lord is the education that brings wisdom." People who have a fear of him will act with wisdom; they walk faithfully before him while obeying His commandments.
The fear that will keep our right to not make mistakes.

Hamba adalah seseorang yang menyadarkan dirinya untuk selalu berserah
dan hanya menuruti segala kehendak tuannya. Demikian pula setiap
orang yang mengaku sebagai hamba Allah, seharusnya siap untuk
berkata, "Jadilah kehendak-Mu." Kita mungkin akan segera menjawab
bahwa kita bisa mengatakannya. Namun, ketika sebuah kenyataan berat

Adakah kita sungguh mau menerima kehendak Allah dengan segala

Where the inclusion of God the most you feel in this life? Is the time everything went smoothly, all available and even the overflow? If you consider Israel's history records, we find the inclusion of God's most visible is on the way in the wilderness. Pillar of cloud and pillar of fire which in turn leads them day and night (verses 14-16). Water gushing from the rock to release their thirst in a dry desert heat (verses 15-16). More magic again, grains manna every day down to become bread (verses 23-25). In fact, God sent the afternoon of quail meat for their pleasure (verses 26-28).
God watching them not only in spiritual matters, through the Torah and all orders, but also in the physical case with abundant. However, what his people return? Grumbling because of dissatisfaction and distrust! They are not satisfied with the abundance that they receive (paragraph 18). They longed to enjoy the food as before in Egypt, but there they were enslaved. They do not believe that God really cares for them or their sufficient (verses 19-20). Even after all presented so magical, they are still not satisfied (verses 29-30). No wonder that God was angry and punished them (verse 31).
Is there any similarity your experience with the experienced people of Israel? Maybe even you have never experienced the wilderness. That there is always the green pastures and streams filling the silence and clear for a refreshing thirst. But if you feel God's presence and it makes you grateful and happy heart? Or you masihkah grumbled because they feel not satisfied and because you think it should you accept all this good? Careful! Dissatisfied attitude is the attitude of ingratitude to God!

However, along his observations that espionage, Zielinski did not find things that do Wojtyla subversive enough evidence to make a suspect in the political situation that has not been decisive in the country. What happened instead, he was just getting familiar with Wojtyla as a servant of God who truly dedicated his life to God, also for the nation and country. Zielinski finally apologized before his teacher.

Wojtyla, with easy to forgive him, he did not ask why he was committing crimes against them, what their background, or annoyed, angry and vindictive. Zielinski had never expected that he got an apology and forgiveness from his teacher that easy, but it was he who had been causing his teacher had suffered difficulties due to the pressures of the communist party. Why Wojtyla so easily forgive him? Therefore, the price of a contrite spirit is more expensive, and resentment is not comparable to the beauty of repentance.

In the morning, when Robetson exercise using static bicycle, Muriel awakened from sleep. He tried to take a comfortable position, then smiles sweetly at Robertson. For the first time in months that Muriel never called Robertson spoke with a soft voice and clear, "Honey .... My dear ..." Robertson jumped from his bike and immediately embraced her that he loved so much.
"My dear, you really love me not?" asked Muriel.
After seeing a nod and a smile on his face Robetson, Muriel whispered, "I'm happy!" And it's the last words spoken to Muriel Robertson.
Maintaining and happy people who have given meaning in our lives is a prayer before the Lord. Care of the husband or wife who is helpless is a noble deed. Take care of father, mother or in-laws is the duty of a son or daughter. Taking care of a grandparent who was old and senile, too is the responsibility of the grandchildren. Do not ignore those who have old, especially when they are not able to do anything else. Cultivate them with patience and loving.

Berita Keselamatan - MEMAAFKAN TANPA MELUPAKAN
Bacaan : Kejadian 50:15-21
Kepada seseorang yang pernah disakiti atau dikecewakan orang lain, kita
kerap memberi nasihat seperti ini, "Sudah, lupakan. Yang lalu biarlah
berlalu. Tidak usah diingat-ingat. Toh diingat pun tidak ada gunanya."
Sebuah nasihat yang baik dan kedengaran bijak, tetapi sebetulnya tidak
tepat. Sebab tidak mungkin kita melupakan kesakitan dan kepahitan yang
pernah kita alami. Betapa yang namanya pengalaman buruk, atau "kesakitan"
yang ditimbulkan orang lain pada masa lalu tidak bisa kita hapus dari
ingatan kita. Itu sudah menjadi sejarah hidup kita.
Yang bisa kita lakukan bukan melupakannya, melainkan mengingatnya dengan
cara baru. Bukan menghapusnya dari ingatan kita, tapi memaknainya dari
sudut pandang iman. Inilah yang dilakukan oleh Yusuf. Ia pernah begitu
dibenci saudara-saudaranya. Mereka menganiaya, bahkan menjualnya sebagai
budak. Ia kemudian bekerja di rumah Potifar. Difitnah oleh istri Potifar,
lalu dipenjarakan. Sampai akhirnya ia menjadi orang penting di negeri Mesir.
Namun, Yusuf tidak membenci dan menyimpan dendam pada saudara-saudaranya.
Saat mereka datang dalam posisi sebagai orang-orang yang meminta
pertolongan, Yusuf menerimanya dengan tangan terbuka. Padahal, sebagai
orang yang sangat berkuasa di Mesir, Yusuf bisa saja membalas perlakuan
buruk mereka terhadapnya dulu.
Yusuf tidak melupakan perbuatan buruk saudara-saudaranya di masa lalu.
Ia melihatnya dengan cara baru dari sudut pandang Allah. Ia bekata,
"Memang kamu telah mereka-rekakan yang jahat terhadap aku, tetapi Allah
telah mereka-rekakannya untuk kebaikan" (ayat 20). Dan, pengampunan
pun terjadi --AYA

"pengajaran yang lemah lembut ada di lidahnya" Amsal 31:26b
Untuk mempersatukan dua manusia sebagai suami isteri, Allah telah mengatur bahwa haruslah ada ketaatan dan kasih dalam rumah tangga mereka. Dia tidak meminta suami atau isteri mencari kesalahan masing-masing. Dia tidak menetapkan suami-suami untuk menjadi instruktur isteri-isteri, atau isteri-isteri Rata Penuhuntuk menjadi guru suami mereka. Seorang suami tidak perlu mengubah isterinya, demikian juga halnya dengan isteri. Bagaimanapun sifat dan keadaan pasangan hidupmu, hendaklah kau mengharap hidup dengannya selamanya. Mereka masing-masing harus belajar menutup mata akan kekurangan masing-masing. Mereka harus belajar mencintai, bukan mencoba mencari kesalahan masing-masing.
Sebagai orang Kristen kita harus belajar menyangkal diri. Menyangkal diri berarti melengkapi seorang terhadap yang lain. Keluarga butuh disiplin, berarti harus belajar mau menyisihkan pendapatnya sendiri dalam memberikan pertimbangan pasangan hidupnya. Pengajaran yang lemah lembut harus ada di lidah para isteri, baik terhadap anak-anaknya, maupun terhadap suami atau sesamanya.
Demikian pula sebagai mempelai Kristus, harus taat dan hidup setia kepada mempelai laki-laki, yaitu Kristus Yesus, tanpa mempedulikan keadaan dan situasi kita. Kita harus mempersembahkan kehidupan kita seutuhnya kepada Kristus, dan tidak hidup separuh buat ilah-ilah lain. Kata Tuhan, "Berpegangkah pada perintahKu, dan engkau akan hidup; simpanlah ajaranku seperti biji matamu" (Amsal 7:2)
Isteri yang cakap lebih berharga dari pada permata.

Berita Keselamatan - JIKA KITA MENJADI MARAH
Dengan wajah ketakutan dan suara pelan terbata-bata, anak saya
berkata, "Mama kalau marah, mengerikan. Aku takut!" Saya tertegun
mendengarnya. Kemarahan ternyata membuat saya tampak mengerikan!
Marah yang tidak terkendali, bisa merugikan. Apabila seseorang begitu
dikuasai kemarahan, ia bisa dibuat buta; seperti kehilangan akal
sehat, bersikap ngawur, tak peduli dan tak kenal siapa yang menjadi
sasaran kemarahannya. Marah semacam itu bisa menghancurkan semangat,
hubungan, juga kedamaian. Maka, firman Tuhan hari ini mengingatkan
agar jika kita sedang marah, kita jangan bersikap seperti manusia
lama yang belum mengenal Kristus. Manusia lama yang ketika marah
cenderung bersikap bodoh, berhati degil, dan berperasaan tumpul (ayat
17-19).
Kemarahan yang tidak terkendali bisa membuat kita mudah berbuat dosa
karena itu bisa menyakiti dan melukai diri kita sendiri dan orang
lain. Namun, pengenalan akan Kristus dan pembaruan roh serta pikiran
akan memampukan kita menahan diri untuk tidak berbuat dosa (ayat
21-23). Menyimpan kemarahan menumbuhkan akar pahit di hati dan
pikiran. Lama-lama ia bisa merusak jiwa dan raga. Kita diingatkan
supaya membuang kemarahan sebelum matahari terbenam (ayat 26).
Kemarahan bisa sangat mungkin menjadi tempat iblis memorak-porandakan
kehidupan. Maka, Tuhan meminta kita untuk tidak memberi kesempatan
kepada iblis (ayat 27).
Di dalam Kristus, kita mengenakan manusia baru dalam kebenaran dan
kekudusan (ayat 24). Jadi, mari terus berubah oleh pembaruan budi di
dalam Dia --CDW

Berita Keselamatan - There's Never Too Late
Is it true that we are never too old to start a new career or make dramatic changes in our lives? What if we was 72 or even 82 years? Is it our age too late to learn a new language? Well, not really. Two hundred years ago the Roman statesman, Cato, learned Greek at the age of 80 years. Can we be more creative at that age? What about Goethe? His masterpiece, `Faust 'not perfect until he was 80 years old. And Michelangelo tahuh aged 71 when he painted the Sistine Chapel.
Need more examples? Luigi Cornaro, a scholar from Venice, began to write a geriatric at the age of 83 years. His classic treatise `The Joys of Old Age 'was written [there in 1562 when he was 95 years old! In the modern era, a great philosopher, mathematician, and lovers of peace, Bertrand Russell, participate and was arrested in an anti-nuclear demonsttasi when he was 89 years old. And of course we can not forget Grandma Moses, who began painting at age 80. Did you know that approximately 25% of his paintings are as much as 1.500 paintings he made after the 100-year-old? Then there was Henry Little, the President Director of The Institution for Savings in Newburyport, Massachusetts, decided to retire so that younger people can take over. Mr. Little retired when he was 102 years old! Younger people who he meant was 83 years old.
Few Lessons
What can we learn from the examples above? They were all very high desire to do what meraka do. The desire or passion is a source of energy and make a person stay young, as it was written Benjamin Franklin,
"Those with deep love never old, maybe they died of old age, but in fact they die young."
They also realize, that it is better to be 70 years younger than the age of 40 years, so they do not let age stop them to pursue a dream. They understand that not too late to start doing something, and now is the time to act. Not like King Richard II, they never complain,
"I wasted time, and now is the time waste me"
Another lesson is, when the opportunity arises, they jump into it. Indeed, there is risk in it, but why are we afraid of life? Death, perhaps, but not with life. Rita Coolidge realized the importance of this when he said,
"Too often the opportunity comes knocking, but when we took off the chain, remove the padlock, opened the lock and turn off the burglar alarm, it was too late."
One thing, that the panacea to stay young is a new experience and knowledge that we can every day. Apparently Henry Ford felt the same, when he said,
"Anyone who stops learning is old people, no matter occurred at the age of 20 or 80. Anyone who is still learning not only youthful but still valuable, regardless of its physical capacity."
In the end, there is a saying that is worth considering,
"When you see old people warm-hearted, mild-mannered, stable, contain, and have a good sense of humor, be assured that the youth, caring generosity, and patience they have. In the end they did not lament the past, is also not afraid at the time front; they like at the end of the night a fun day. "

"Hi gentlemen, be fair and honest with your servant; remember, you also have a master in heaven." Colossians 4:1
One of the many human needs is respect. Whether it's the rich, poor, high or low educated, live in cities, villages, even in once remote areas, it wants to be appreciated. The relationship between individuals will go well and harmoniously if each individual mutual respect: there are those who give awards and there receiving the award.
Everyone must try to gain the respect of others; any way must be followed. But in terms of giving credit to others, not all people want to do it. Obvious example is the relationship between the slave master, superior to subordinate. A master / boss always wants to be appreciated and respected, but not necessarily want to give credit to subordinates or servants even though they have to work hard and do their best. Is not it often happens around us? A master / employer to act arbitrarily against his subordinates, and even tended to look down. Word of the Lord this day reminds us, "Hey gentlemen, be fair and honest with your servant;" (paragraph 1a), not only command respect from subordinates.
Learn to give awards and praise for each subordinate our labors! Give credit to their subordinates will spur more excited to do chores and responsibilities. Conversely if the master / employer only insulting, cursing, demeaning and pressed his subordinates, it will lower morale and work motivation. Moreover, the master / employer which is actually a believer (Christian), should provide a good example and a testimony to our subordinates, rather than a stumbling block! Lord Jesus himself who is the King of kings and Lord of lords "... did not come to be served but to serve and to give His spirit as a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28).
God wants us to love one another and each other in a salute ahead (see Romans 12:10).
Berita Keselamatan - Learning to respect others
"Hi gentlemen, be fair and honest with your servant; remember, you also have a master in heaven." Colossians 4:1
One of the many human needs is respect. Whether it's the rich, poor, high or low educated, live in cities, villages, even in once remote areas, it wants to be appreciated. The relationship between individuals will go well and harmoniously if each individual mutual respect: there are those who give awards and there receiving the award.

Berita Keselamatan - Every Storm Will End
Do you suffer loss recently?
Jobs? A relationship? The goods stolen from you?
Many of my friends lost a lot of things in the flood recently.
My friend lost his house. My friend lost his business. With tears, my aunt said, "Bo, I lost all the goods that had accumulated during 50 years of my life!" Some friends told me that what is most painful is the loss of all photo-lifetime memories.
Friends, I have a message for you today: Believe that every storm will end. And after the storm, the new morning begins.
Remember that every loss is temporary.
If you lose a loved one, loss it is only temporary. In heaven, you will see your lover again and your reunion will last forever.
If you lose the image, believing that in heaven, God will give back to your DVD copy of all the good memories that you have in your life. (I'm not sure what the video version they use in there, but I'm sure it will be the most modern. Maybe it is a virtual video!)
If you lose the material things or opportunities or relationships, believing that God was creating the space for something better to come your way.
How this will be "better"?
Began grateful.
This is not a typo.
In the midst of losing you, thanks.
I know you'll complain, "Bo, how to be grateful! I lost half my life!"
Well, thanks for the other half that you still have.
Do not focus on what's missing, focus on what you still have.
You have so many things that are good!
Say it with me, "I'm very blessed to be stressed." (Not the original of me. I get from the sticker.)
Why grateful?
Because you will attract the things you focus on. I've said before many times, but I'll keep saying it until God calls me home. Because it is so powerful.
When you are grateful, you will attract more blessings than what you're grateful.
Gratitude is a magnet blessing.

Berita Keselamatan - Reprove With Love
The meaning of reprimand was given a reprimand, advise, educate and remind. The attitude of people in receiving a variety of reprimand. Some welcome, some mediocre, there are agreed only to speed up the process of talks, some rejected the firm, there are twisted, and some even offended and angry, and many more other reactions.
Some of the truths we need to know when calling someone else:
1. Reprimand should be based in love. Indeed there is a risk to be rebuked by people who do not like us, but if she needs to reprimand, rebuke!
To love is not meant to always agree, have always agreed, must always smiling sweetly. Necessary rebuke to love wrapped with honesty and straightforwardness, without pretending.
Reprimand is based on love would cover the breach of that person. People who rebuked by love would be easier to accept the rebuke addressed to him and consequently the related possibilities for change become larger. Conversely if we rebuked by not based on love, the result is a fight. Argument is not a final destination that we want to achieve.
2. Reprimand should be with wisdom. Wisdom will help us to provide an appropriate reprimand. Wisdom here means includes techniques, ways, words, time, place and circumstances for the delivery of appropriate reprimand.
3. Results from reprimand to use wisdom to bear fruit sweet. Initially there may be friction, and may even create conflicts with the relevant. However, we still need to take this risk.
4. Do not hold a reprimand for fear of the risk of friction and conflict.
One form of love is the wise admonition. When we do not do this, we mean no fear of God. No fear of God is sin. Do not be afraid to rebuke when necessary!
Then how reprimanded by using wisdom?
1. Gently scolded. Gentleness is one of the necessary fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23). Gentle does not mean weak or wishy-washy. A gentle attitude that want to understand the conditions and limitations of others.
2. Know clearly the people who need to be rebuked, the people who do not have to reprimand, time and circumstances appropriate to call it. Although when we know someone is wrong, there are times when we need to use wisdom. Well, not necessarily we can rebuke, sometimes even holding a reprimand or a reprimand does not require a special wisdom.
Here are some of the characteristics of people who do not have to reprimand or rebuke you should hold another at the time:
- People who do not want to listen to a reprimand and a reprimand ignore, even hated reproof. These people are those who will drain our emotions. So do not spend time, energy, and emotion to people who do not want to hear. Not because we do not care, but there are other opportunities more appropriate to call it. Simply bring this person in DOA.
- People who enjoy silat said. When you give a reprimand to the person who likes to silat words, these people will keep giving answers and reasons. Save your breath! Stop right there and bring this person in DOA.
Reprimand ways are as follows:
1. Reprimand were alone, not in front of others. People will more easily lose the ego when reprimanded privately without the presence of others. At the moment there are other people present, the tendency to defend themselves and defend the ego will be greater than when only two.
2. When not working alone, ask for help 1 or 2 other people to call it. This should see the case as well. Not all cases can be treated similarly. If necessary help from 1 or 2 other people, do it!
3. If after asking for help from 1 or 2 people still does not work as well, ask for help more people. This only needs to be done for these cases very seriously. For cases that can invite a lot of anxiety for people, this needs to be done. If he is still not going to listen to a reprimand, saving your breath! Simply bring the relevant in your PRAYERS.
So, you're ready to give warning? Amen.

BATU OPAL YANG KUSAM
Seorang ahli batu-batuan memasuki toko perhiasan. Penjaga menunjukkan
koleksi tokonya yang indah-indah. Ternyata, di antara permata yang
berkilau itu ada sebutir batu yang kusam. "Tunggu sebentar," kata
pelanggan itu. Ia mengambil batu itu dan menggenggamnya erat-erat.
Setelah beberapa saat, ia membuka tangannya, dan kini batu itu
berkilau begitu elok! "Ini batu opal atau ada yang menyebutnya
permata simpatik," katanya. "Cukup digenggam, keindahannya pun akan
memancar."
Paulus dan Barnabas bertengkar sengit gara-gara Markus. Barnabas
ingin melibatkan Markus dalam tim misi, tetapi Paulus menolaknya
karena pemuda itu pernah meninggalkan tim sebelumnya (Kisah Para
Rasul 13:13). Namun, secara mengejutkan, nama Markus muncul lagi,
dipuji Paulus dalam suratnya sebagai orang yang "pelayanannya penting
bagiku" (2 Timotius 4:11).
Alkitab tidak menjelaskan proses perubahan yang dialami Markus.
Namun, kita bisa membayangkan setidaknya dua kemungkinan. Pertama,
Barnabas menggosok dan menajamkan karakter Markus, sehingga pemuda
itu berubah menjadi murid Kristus yang setia. Kedua, Paulus
mengampuni Markus dan memberinya kesempatan kedua; dan Markus pun
membuktikan bahwa dirinya murid yang layak dipercaya. Melalui
genggaman Barnabas dan Paulus, batu opal bernama Markus itu menjadi
berkilau.
Jangan terkecoh oleh penampilan "kusam" seorang murid Kristus.
Mungkin ia memerlukan "genggaman tangan": pendampingan yang konsisten
dan berkesinambungan. Apabila ada saudara seiman yang gagal dalam
pelayanan, ampunilah ia dan ulurkan kesempatan kedua --ARS

PROMOSI BURUK
Di sebuah gereja terjadi perselisihan tajam. Masalahnya sederhana.
Paduan Suara A dijadwalkan mengisi pujian sesudah khotbah di
kebaktian Minggu. Namun, rupanya ada salah komunikasi. Pada Minggu
itu ternyata ada Paduan Suara tamu yang akan membawakan dua pujian,
sebelum dan sesudah khotbah. Setelah berunding, diputuskan Paduan
Suara A digeser mengisi pujian sebelum Doa Syafaat. Beberapa angota
Paduan Suara A tidak terima, merasa tersinggung, lalu "meledak".
Sampai ada yang mundur dari pelayanan, bahkan yang pindah gereja.
Perselisihan di gereja tidak jarang dipicu dan dipacu oleh masalah
kecil. Namun, karena disikapi dengan kekerasan hati, tidak mau
mengalah, prasangka buruk, dan sikap egoistis, akhirnya menjadi
masalah besar yang menguras waktu, tenaga, pikiran, dan perasaaan.
Padahal, seperti dikatakan oleh Paulus, "Adanya saja perkara di
antara kamu yang seorang terhadap yang lain telah merupakan kekalahan
bagi kamu" (1 Korintus 6:7). Dengan kata lain, kalau orang-orang di
dalam gereja berantem, tidak ada yang akan diuntungkan. Malah yang
rugi gereja sendiri; persekutuan jemaat jadi terganggu, sukacita
melayani hilang, dan keluar juga jadi promosi buruk.
Maka, penting sekali untuk kita kembali ke identitas kita sebagai
orang-orang pilihan Allah yang dikuduskan dan dikasih-Nya (ayat 12).
Dan hidup berpadanan sesuai identitas tersebut, yaitu dengan
menunjukkan belas kasihan, kemurahan, kerendahan hati,
kelemahlembutan dan kesabaran. Kiranya damai sejahtera Kristus
memerintah dalam hati kita, sehingga kita dijauhkan dari segala
pikiran dan perasaan yang tidak membangun --AYA

Judul:
PROMOSI BURUK
Di sebuah gereja terjadi perselisihan tajam. Masalahnya sederhana.
Paduan Suara A dijadwalkan mengisi pujian sesudah khotbah di
kebaktian Minggu. Namun, rupanya ada salah komunikasi. Pada Minggu
itu ternyata ada Paduan Suara tamu yang akan membawakan dua pujian,
sebelum dan sesudah khotbah. Setelah berunding, diputuskan Paduan
Suara A digeser mengisi pujian sebelum Doa Syafaat. Beberapa angota
Paduan Suara A tidak terima, merasa tersinggung, lalu "meledak".
Sampai ada yang mundur dari pelayanan, bahkan yang pindah gereja.
Perselisihan di gereja tidak jarang dipicu dan dipacu oleh masalah
kecil. Namun, karena disikapi dengan kekerasan hati, tidak mau
mengalah, prasangka buruk, dan sikap egoistis, akhirnya menjadi
masalah besar yang menguras waktu, tenaga, pikiran, dan perasaaan.
Padahal, seperti dikatakan oleh Paulus, "Adanya saja perkara di
antara kamu yang seorang terhadap yang lain telah merupakan kekalahan
bagi kamu" (1 Korintus 6:7). Dengan kata lain, kalau orang-orang di
dalam gereja berantem, tidak ada yang akan diuntungkan. Malah yang
rugi gereja sendiri; persekutuan jemaat jadi terganggu, sukacita
melayani hilang, dan keluar juga jadi promosi buruk.
Maka, penting sekali untuk kita kembali ke identitas kita sebagai
orang-orang pilihan Allah yang dikuduskan dan dikasih-Nya (ayat 12).
Dan hidup berpadanan sesuai identitas tersebut, yaitu dengan
menunjukkan belas kasihan, kemurahan, kerendahan hati,
kelemahlembutan dan kesabaran. Kiranya damai sejahtera Kristus
memerintah dalam hati kita, sehingga kita dijauhkan dari segala
pikiran dan perasaan yang tidak membangun --AYA
JANGAN BIARKAN IBLIS MENGACAK-ACAK PERSEKUTUAN JEMAAT
MELALUI PIKIRAN DAN PERILAKU BURUK KITA

BUKAN JALAN TOL

Berita Keselamatan - Tanggal: Kamis, 3 Desember 2009
Bacaan : Nehemia 6
Setahun: Roma 12-16
Nats: Karena itu, Saudara-saudaraku yang terkasih, berdirilah teguh,
jangan goyah, dan giatlah selalu dalam pekerjaan Tuhan!
(1 Korintus 15:58)
Judul:
BUKAN JALAN TOL
Jalan tol adalah jalan bebas hambatan. Jalan tol dibangun dengan
tujuan supaya setiap pengendara mobil tidak perlu mengalami kemacetan
di jalan raya. Dengan demikian, para pengendara mobil akan semakin
cepat sampai di tempat tujuan.
Akan tetapi, kita tidak dapat berharap bahwa kemudahan dan kelancaran
yang terjadi di jalan tol, juga terjadi di dalam hidup kita. Hidup
kita sama sekali bukan jalan tol. Justru dalam hidup ini kita kerap
kali menemukan hambatan. Bahkan, ketika kita hendak melakukan hal-hal
baik.
Demikian pula pengalaman Nehemia ketika hendak membangun kembali
tembok Yerusalem. Pada awalnya, segala persiapan serta jalan yang
akan ditempuh tampak lancar. Akan tetapi, di tengah proses
pembangunan datanglah hambatan dari Sanbalat dan Tobia. Sanbalat dan
Tobia, yang tidak suka pembangunan tembok itu dilakukan, berencana
untuk membunuh Nehemia (ayat 2). Di dalam pikiran mereka, apabila
Nehemia mati, bangsa itu akan kehilangan sosok pemimpin. Dan, itu
menjadi alasan yang kuat untuk menghentikan pembangunan tembok
Yerusalem. Sampai-sampai ia juga menyuap orang Semaya, orang yang
dekat dengan Nehemia (ayat 10-13). Namun, Nehemia tetap berfokus pada
proses pembangunan. Maju terus pantang mundur. Dan Allah melindungi
Nehemia, sehingga pembangunan tembok itu pun selesai (ayat 15).
Tidak jarang dalam hidup ini kita mendapat hambatan. Cara yang
terbaik untuk mengatasinya adalah tetap memfokuskan diri pada
pekerjaan baik tersebut, dan terus berjalan. Kita harus selalu ingat
bahwa tujuan hambatan hanya ingin membuat kita berhenti --RY

Berita Keselamatan - SIKAPKU, PILIHANKU

Berita Keselamatan - SIKAPKU, PILIHANKU
Sikap adalah pilihan pribadi. Apabila pikiran dipenuhi hal negatif,
sehingga keluar sikap buruk seperti murung, putus asa, dendam, kita
tidak boleh menyalahkan orang lain atau kondisi di sekitar, sebab itu
pilihan kita. Seandainya kita mau mengubah pikiran ke hal yang
optimis dan positif, maka sikap kita pun akan mengikuti. Yang unik,
dalam waktu yang bersamaan, otak kita tak dapat memikirkan dua hal
sekaligus. Jadi, kita harus memilih.
Hari ini kita diminta memikirkan semua yang benar, mulia, manis,
sedap didengar, bajik, dan patut dipuji (ayat 8). Mungkin hidup Anda
saat ini sungguh terasa pahit, getir, dan sulit, tetapi mari kita
lihat Paulus. Ketika ia menasihati jemaat Filipi yang menghadapi
tekanan dan kesulitan hidup, Paulus sendiri sebenarnya sedang sangat
susah. Ia menuliskan surat itu dari dalam penjara, dalam kondisi
teraniaya karena Injil. Namun, ia memilih bersikap positif dan
optimis. Jadi, ia bisa melihat peluang untuk memberitakan Injil
kepada para narapidana, pegawai penjara, bahkan pejabat istana yang
menangani kasusnya (Filipi 1:12-14). Bahkan, ia menghibur banyak
jemaat yang ditimpa kesulitan melalui suratnya, sebab dalam penjara
ia punya banyak waktu untuk menulis, berdoa, dan memuji Tuhan.
Paulus dapat melakukan hal ini karena ia memilih untuk menambatkan
hatinya kepada Allah; memenuhi hatinya dengan kasih kepada jiwa-jiwa
terhilang dan jemaat yang dilayaninya. Maka, penjara hanya bisa
mengurung tubuhnya. Sedang pikirannya tetap dipenuhi oleh semua yang
benar, mulia, manis, sedap didengar, bajik, dan patut dipuji. Jika
Anda sedang susah, mengapa harus menjadi lebih susah dengan memilih
sikap pesimis atau negatif? Ayo bangkitlah! --SST

Filipi 4:1-8
1. Karena itu, saudara-saudara yang kukasihi dan yang
kurindukan, sukacitaku dan mahkotaku, berdirilah juga dengan
teguh dalam Tuhan, hai saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih!
2 Euodia kunasihati dan Sintikhe kunasihati, supaya sehati
sepikir dalam Tuhan.
3 Bahkan, kuminta kepadamu juga, Sunsugos, temanku yang setia:
tolonglah mereka. Karena mereka telah berjuang dengan aku dalam
pekabaran Injil, bersama-sama dengan Klemens dan kawan-kawanku
sekerja yang lain, yang nama-namanya tercantum dalam kitab
kehidupan.
4 Bersukacitalah senantiasa dalam Tuhan! Sekali lagi
kukatakan: Bersukacitalah!
5 Hendaklah kebaikan hatimu diketahui semua orang. Tuhan sudah
dekat!
6 Janganlah hendaknya kamu kuatir tentang apapun juga, tetapi
nyatakanlah dalam segala hal keinginanmu kepada Allah dalam doa
dan permohonan dengan ucapan syukur.
7 Damai sejahtera Allah, yang melampaui segala akal, akan
memelihara hati dan pikiranmu dalam Kristus Yesus.
8 Jadi akhirnya, saudara-saudara, semua yang benar, semua yang
mulia, semua yang adil, semua yang suci, semua yang manis, semua
yang sedap didengar, semua yang disebut kebajikan dan patut
dipuji, pikirkanlah semuanya itu.
