Thai Church Washington DC

Early in the morning couple days ago, I got this thoughts.
 
Truth about God is called in another fancy word, Theology about God. Everyone have their own theology. Some believe that there is no God and that is their theology. There are many religions in this world that have that theology. Some believe that everything can be god - big tree, thick wood, mutated animal and they would worship those.
 
Truth about God effect directly to how we live our life. If your theology said that there is no God, then you live your life by your own strength. If your theology said everything can be god, they you worship everything.
 
As a Christian, we need to have sound theology. We need to know by ourselves who God is, not because other people tell you about Him. Christianity is personal relationship. Where do we learn sound theology? From the Bible.
 
The Bible tells us truth about God, about Jesus, about ourself, about this world. Each passage and story tells us who God is and what are His character. There are some other sources people can also learn theology such as their own experience, sermon, books, friends and family. Those are secondary source and it can be slightly different from the Bible.
 
We need to diligently learn truth about God because that would build a strong relationship between God and ourselves. The more we know about God the more we will see ourselves as sinners who need Christ. The more we know about God the more we will love Him. The more we learn about God the easier we will obey His words. Truth about God can change your life. Truth about God can free you.
 
At our church, we are studying the Bible in Thai at 12:30 p.m. every Sunday. We have been studying from Genesis to Deutoronomy and right now are studying John. We are planning to start Joshua after John and will study all the books in the Bible.
 
I want to invite you to read the Bible each day and study it seriously. God has a plan for your life, a very good plan. He wants to have relationship with you.
 
You might wondering sometimes what good do I get from going to church, just wasting my time. That is true! Going to church and attending church activities will not change your life or give you true peace, but getting to know God is. Getting to know God and have relationship with God will change you and give you true happiness. Going to church and attending church activities are following.
 
Don't just come near God and not getting to know Him and get your life changed or turned around. That would be the saddest thing.
