Things to Ponder Upon

With all these commotion in the school... I guess it wouldn't be bad to give my two cents worth. =)
Here are some trivial things which I believe people (especially those involved in any way) must really PONDER ON.

1. How is it that we'll know what's true? We say we want "freedom" but how do we know if we aren't just blindly following?

2. How can one be called "brave" or a "hero" for stirring up the minds of people, when he has nothing to lose in doing so? (Jose Rizal risked his LIFE in doing so, thus he is now known as our "National Hero".)

3. I believe that God is pleased with our deeds if our deeds bore the following (or if our deeds promoted the following):
-love
-joy
-peace
-patience
-kindness
-goodness
-faithfulness
-gentleness
-self-control
These have always been known as "The FRUIT of the Holy Spirit" and not "FRUITS". Because one must bear FRUIT that has all these.
Now, ponder upon what we have been doing... Do they please God?

4. How can we follow someone who wants us to decipher right from wrong through a perspective that "sets aside God" ?? Someone who wants us to "set aside" our "Christian Thinking" and look at things in a human perspective because the reality is that the world is not a Christian-world? We all should know by now that we, as Christians, are ABOVE the law (law meaning "right and wrong" through our thinking), and our only un-debatable truth is the Bible. And that we are called to be "not of this world" but "of Christ".

I really hope and pray that as individuals, we would learn to think and really consider EVERYTHING that we hear or see. We can't just follow, we have to learn to know "what God wants". No matter how you put it we, as Christians, should only consider what God would "accept" as right, and not be swayed by what the world accepts as norms. Our main goal in life is to do God's will, no more.... no less.
