Being a True Believer

He's working in me both the willing and the doing of His pleasure
With pow'r that hasn't any boundaries.

The past week has been a really 'busy' week. Lots of things when through my mind. Sometimes what I speak or typed may not reflect the true thoughts I may want to express. Yet, typing things out seems closer than speaking without really thinking.
Went joey's house to stay for a few days. Being quite awhile since I contacted him until recently. He just shifted house, I was there and the whole process was interesting.
I wasn't really there when his family shifted, went for the church's bbq session. At his new house, apparently joey brought along lots of unwanted stuffs from his old home and was discarding them only after he moved over. Waste of human resources, haha. His mum was like helping him clear and when clearing some books, joey's bible was there and his mum was like "throw la, no need fake fake, also never read"
I have known joey for a long long time, a very good friend of mine. Though he had strayed off, he still believed in God, and I can just claim on God's promise that God knows his flock and will always chasten them accordingly. There will be a time when he comes back, (Ecclesiastes 3).

There is just this mixture of feelings in me at the change of faces I see in church among the young people. Many have left, strayed or just never attend church again. An once in a while appearance will draw like much attention to people as such. Its always this idea of playing Church which deters and puts me on the guard. My dad always tell me that God require our utmost respect when we go to church. This verse just comes to my mind:
John 4:23-24
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

God is a serious God. Our business is God's business whenever we are to be an example to each other or to other believers. (in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity).

Sidenote: Saw a lost youth ministry library book in joey's house regarding everything about prayer- Time to be a prayer warrior if I am or you are a true believer in His word and trust God.
