Ponder: Turn to God

SCENARIO 1
Evanglist: Are you leading a life that is without meaning or purpose?
Stranger: Sigh... yes..
Evanglist: Do you often wonder why are you so lost?
Stranger: Yea.. all the time.
Evangelist: Do you often wonder why are you so uncertain about the future?
Stranger: Absolutely! Tomorrow is so scary!
Evangelist: Do you keep drifting around aimlessly?
Stranger: What to do.. don't know what to do...
Evangelist: GREAT! Be a christian!

SCENARIO 2
Evanglist: Are you leading a life that is without meaning or purpose?
Stranger: Err...no...
Evanglist: Do you often wonder why are you so lost?
Stranger: Huh?... not lost at all.
Evangelist: Do you often wonder why are you so uncertain about the future?
Stranger: No.. not at all...
Evangelist: Do you keep drifting around aimlessly?
Stranger: Sorry, can don't watse time or not? I've got things to do.
Evangelist: Oh you people blinded by pride. May God open your eyes to make you realize your life is a full of mess.

SCENARIO 4
Evanglist: Are you leading a life that is without meaning or purpose?
Stranger: Oh Yes, once upon a time.
Evanglist: Do you often wonder why are you so lost?
Stranger: Well, many times, before I learn to believe.
Evangelist: Do you often wonder why are you so uncertain about the future?
Stranger: I've finally got the answers!
Evangelist: Do you keep drifting around aimlessly?
Stranger: That's why I'm a Buddhist now!
Evangelist: Oh no no no... Only God can clear the mess out of your life.


I think there must be a better way to evangelism.

Original text from a leaflet:
Are you leading a life that is without meaning or purpose? Do you often wonder why are you so lost and so uncertain about the future, drifting around aimlessly?

Is your life flled with darkness, fear, relentless, sadness and worries?

Do you feel that you have no power to resist temptations and often fall into sins which you regret to the point of hating yourself?

Do you ever wonder how you end up in such a miserable mess? The Bible tells us that this is the inevitable result when man is separated from God, his Creator. Like our first parent Adam, we are trying to live against God and without God. In open rebellion we are sinners.

Story - Financial Literacy

Believe in a "Best Method"

Today, I pen my suggestion that in every situation or problem, there will always be a "Best Method" to proceed on from there or to handle it. I raised this suggestion back in camp during one of the heated discussion. The purpose of my suggestion is to solve the apparent deadlock of "Should we kill 1 to save 10". (which to me is a no brainer question, but some appeared to enjoy confusing it with many other less important considerations). First and foremost, knowing the implication of the existence of a "Best Method in every situation" puts meaning to our discussion, otherwise, it's just useless talk. This is something I left out during the bunk-debate and i regretted not having the chance to clarify. The implication is this: - If a "Best Method" exist, then we can say there is no other better choice than to choose the best method. Thus we should always choose the best method. - If a "Best Method" exist, and if a systematic way to dis...
