It is good analysis on Saul's case regarding his sins and repentance. And I was amazed that you are a reformed Christian woman because it is hard to find a girl who is reformed and who knows reformed faith. Good to see you^^ I accidentally saw your homepage and your writings on repentace. It is good analysis on Saul’s case regarding his sins and repentance.

Thanks! I would like to read the article you sent me more carefully. It looks very helpful.

Have you heard of it? Three blogs whom I visit often speaks volume about this. Ev. Jeffrey Siauw (one of the Indonesian bloggers) once wrote that article. I find it very interesting because often we care more about reading as many as possible from our Bible, thinking the more we read the more we'll know. But Lectio Divina teaches us something else. Ev. Ronald Oroh's credo in his blog is also "Think & Meditate", I find it very deep because the world we live in nowadays praise the worth of being the fastest, we praise everything that can be done instantly. When we're in pain we pray to God to take it away as soon as possible and lose the whole meaning of why it is allowed to enter our life in the first place. In Ev. Agus Sadewa's term in his blog, a quick-fix. OK enough of this for today, we'll continue later and right now it's my Lectio Divina time to think and meditate so that I won't pursue the quick-fix this world offers :D Hi Jessica,

Johann Pachelbel dan Indonesian section di pilgrimprogress.net. This little lady (err.. how tall are you by the way?) is amazingly used by the Lord! Did you by any chance read my entry in your guestbook, what a coincidence then ;)?!? Jess, relax about the language ;). Your writing is just perfect! I am not talking about the writing style (although it's good, too), but about the article which suits this blog. About a woman written by a woman, about PROVERBS 31! Nothing tops that! I've been to one linked to your blog, but to read it in Indonesian would be a lot edifying for the Indonesian readers. Thank God for a gifted writer here! And be rest assured that the first thing is to do is having the materials online and God will surely help directing those in need of those writings! :D Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

Bahasa Inggris kamu bagus koq, saya bisa mengerti dengan baik. I used to live in Jakarta Pusat. How do you like living in Houston so far? Kenal banyak orang Indonesia gak di sana? By the way, I just sent you an email if you'd like to talk more, so please feel free to write me there also if you like. And we can write each other in Indonesian also (while at the same time I practice my poor Indonesian language skills). heh-heh :) Thanks for being so encouraging. Talk to you again soon, Laura... God bless you. :) Hello Laura, thanks for writing again. :) I am so glad to hear from you. Bahasa Inggris kamu bagus koq, saya bisa mengerti dengan baik. I used to live in Jakarta Pusat.

I had read your profile and found that you was born in Inodesia. Saya ada di Houston sedang berusaha ambil "License Nurse". I had been working as a nurse in Jakarta for 19 years specifically di Rumah Sakit UKI (Universitas Kristen INdonesia). I am so blessed God brought me to this dreamed country when I had prayed fervently for that since 2000. I arrived here in Houston last December 2005. Saya masih struggle dengan Bahasa Inggris jadi kamu harap maklum ya kalau ada yang kurang benar di sana sini. Di jakarta dulu dimana tinggalnya Jessica??? I proud of you especially of your fascinating biblical thoughts. I beleive Bible is your most pavourite book, right?? I hope you could be a good example for young generations like you. We need to pray faithfully for Indonesia. I know the eyes of God are forwading to Indonesia nowadays. God is working in Indonesia miraclelly, to open the eyes of the losts so that they trully know that Jesus is the Lord. GOd bless you Laura Okay... Dear Jessica,

Okay…

Guess what? I was born in Indonesia myself. :) Specifically in Jakarta. <i>Apa kabar?</i> :) I can also still speak Indonesian fluently. You wrote: <blockquote>I think Saul could not be able anymore to acknowledge his sins as a disobedience action to God because God`s Spirit had left him.</blockquote> I love what you wrote above. That's so true. Thanks for reminding that true repentance indeed can only come from God and borne of Him, not of ourselves. And the great thing about it is, we cannot receive any glory for that. Whatever fruits we produce as a Christian after our repentance will not glorify our will. It would honor only God, because it is His work in us. :) Well, I'm so happy to read your comment today. Nice to know another fellow Indonesian. :) Hope I'll get to talk to you again more... God bless you. :) Hi Laura, wow, thanks for the comment! Guess what?

So glad to know you and read your writing, wonderful thought. I think Saul could not be able anymore to acknowledge his sins as a disobedience action to God because God`s Spirit had left him. The opposite view of David` repentance of his sins to God. Secondly, you have been such an encourager for me to read the books of Charles Spurgeon, excellent books. I am so blessed for sharing your thought how Saul repented his sins to men but not to God because the spirit of God had left him. Have a good day and keep your writing. God bless laura Hi…Jesica,

I really appreciate it. It was so encouraging to read your note. I just visited your blog as well. It appears that it's not comment-enabled for now. But I wanted to say that I've enjoyed reading your blog as well. I like what you wrote in regards to "Salvation and Human Choice": <blockquote> I heard it said that salvation can be described as, <b>God cast a vote for you, Satan cast a vote against you, and It’s up to you to cast the deciding vote</b> That however is a false statement that implies humanity is neutral when it comes to salvation ... Humanity has a history of always making the wrong spiritual choices apart from the influence of the Holy Spirit. A more correct illustration would be, <b>Satan cast a vote against you, You even cast a vote against you BUT God vetoed and overruled both you and Satan and saved you despite yourself</b></blockquote> There's so much to learn from your blog and I've added your site into my blogroll so I could visit again. (Thank you for having added my blog to your blogroll...I actually feel truly humbled and honored that you would do that.) Thanks again for your comment. May God continue to bless you.

That however is a false statement that implies humanity is neutral when it comes to salvation … Humanity has a history of always making the wrong spiritual choices apart from the influence of the Holy Spirit.

A more correct illustration would be,

Satan cast a vote against you, You even cast a vote against you BUT God vetoed and overruled both you and Satan and saved you despite yourself

There’s so much to learn from your blog and I’ve added your site into my blogroll so I could visit again. (Thank you for having added my blog to your blogroll…I actually feel truly humbled and honored that you would do that.)

Thanks again for your comment. May God continue to bless you.
