The New Possibility in Christ

Now we have new possibilities in Christ. We have a great gain from His death and resurrection.

In psalm 84:10 we read the following:

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else];
I would rather be a doorkeeper
and stand at the threshold in the house of my God
than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of wickedness.

Why do the sons of Korah say this? Because at the temple was the place where God was present. There was the place where the people could meet with God. The sons of Korah loved so much God (at this time) that they wanted to be in His presence all the time. When you love somebody yo want to spend as much time with him or her. The same happens when you love God… you want to be with Him, to talk with God in prayer, to be in His presence.

So where is the gain in our times? Please read what Jesus said in John 4:21:

Jesus said to her,
Woman, believe Me,
a time is coming when you will worship the Father
neither [merely] in this mountain nor [merely] in Jerusalem [at the temple].

and in John 4:23 it says

A time will come, however,
indeed it is already here,
when the true (genuine) worshipers
will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality);
for the Father is seeking just such people
as these as His worshipers.

So what is with all this? The great gain is that we can worship God everywhere we are. The thing is to have the right attitude towards God, to live in the Spirit and to do His deeds.

So, today we can experience God anywhere and have the same joy that the sons of Korah had when they stand at the threshold in the house of God.

Photos From The 2 Days Trip To Dorohoi With The Youth From The 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi

Daniel Condurachi — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:18:04 +0000

Last weekend, by God’s grace, after I was invited by Daniel Moisuc, I went for a 2 days trip to Dorohoi, with the youth from the 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi. Dorohoi is in Botosani county. I was born and raised in Botosani, so I was closer to home.

We were invited by the some of the students that attend the 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi, and that came from Dorohoi. We were around 30 persons and we had a great time. Even if it took us 6 hours to get to Dorohoi and it was tiring, I think that it was worth it.

On Sunday morning we went to the Christian Baptist Church of Dorohoi. We had some songs and Bible verses. In the evening we went to the Christian Baptist Church of Dorohoi, where we also had a program of our own.

Here are the photos I took on this trip. They will talk much better that I would

Do Not Despair But Trust Into The Lord

Daniel Condurachi — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 09:18:08 +0000

Do Not Despair, But Trust Into The Lord Because He Controls The Course Of World Events

Photo taken in Republic of Macedonia, by Ohrid lake in Ohrid city

Read and hear this with your hart:

21 God controls the course of world events;
He removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.

22 He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.

Daniel 2:21-22

Did you get it? God is in control. Yes He is. He knows your current situation. He knows what you are struggling with. So WHAT if He knows and in the same time He does not change it. Why God does not change the things so I would feel better, so all those problems and frustration would disappear?

We are assured and know that
[God being a partner in their labor
or/and God works all things with them]
all things work together
and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God
and are called according to [His] design and purpose.

Romans 8:28

See… all things work together for good and for those who love God, and God does it so. Also please read the next line. We see it’s a matter of love. So, do you love God? Do you really do? What means to love God?

Jesus answered,
If a person [really] loves Me,
he will keep My word [obey My teaching];
and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him
and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.

John 14:23

So now, from the course of world events and the things that happen daily in our life we found out that we have to keep God’s word, to obey Him.

Maybe you will say… I’ve been faithful to God, I obeyed Him, and now look what terrible things are happening to me. Yes that is true. You have a holly life. So God loves you. This means that what is happening now it is for your own good. We don’t see what’s around the corner. We don’t understand God’s mighty plan in all it’s beauty. Maybe you are discouraged and frustrated. Yes, it’s OK in the first time. But now your eyes have the opportunity to be opened and understand that God is in control. This is an eye opener. So what should we do then?

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything,
but in every circumstance and in everything [even when it is hard],
by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving,
continue to make your wants known to God.

Philippians 4:6

What we learn is to bring our worries and thoughts to Jesus. Tell them to Him directly by prayer. Have some time just with Him and tell Him what’s on your mind and what is troubling you. In the same time fight the good fight loving Him. This means to do your best to obey God. And if it happens to fail sometimes, watch this…

Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord,
and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return [to his God] and live?

Ezekiel 18:23

My little children,
I write you these things
so that you may not violate God’s law and sin.
But if anyone should sin,
we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father
–[it is] Jesus Christ
[the all] righteous [upright, just,
Who conforms to the Father's will in every purpose, thought, and action].

1 John 2:1

So do not desperate, trust into the Lord because He controls the course of world events.

Bogdan and Catalina Paduraru Wedding Photo Shooting in Copou Park of Iasi

Daniel Condurachi — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 08:10:08 +0000

Previously I showed you photos from Bogdan and Catalina’s civil marriage and the church marriage. It was a very busy day because in the same day also Bogdan’s brother, Ben, had his wedding. Besides that, all the events (civil marriage, church wedding and the party) happened in 1 day, in 12 hours. Even if it was so busy we managed to go in the Copou Park, from Iasi, for 30 minutes.

It was very stressful for the grooms and their brides to have all those things in 12 hours. Here’s the result of the very short walk in the park.

Bogdan and Catalina Civil Marriage in Iasi Romania

Daniel Condurachi — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:22:30 +0000

In an evening I got a phone call from an old friend. He asks me if I could come and sing in the choir from the church he goes to, here in Iasi. He’s wedding had to be the next Sunday. I accepted. Then he asks me if I could also help them with the photos for their wedding. In the end from the 2 things I ended photographing because there was nobody to help him with this, but with the singing there were plenty.

Here’s the photos I took at the civil marriage. Pretty soon, I’ll post also the photos from the church, party and a short photo shooting in the park.

Photos from Botanical Gardens of Iasi, Together with Denisa

Daniel Condurachi — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 22:13:53 +0000

The other day, together with Denisa, we took an hour off and went to the bottom part of the Botanical Gardens of Iasi. It is really near by. I’ve been staying in this area for some time now, and I’ve never taken advantage of this.

I had to clear my mind to be productive at my work. This walk really helped me.

Here are a few photos we took, using the tripod.

Photos from Denisa’s Graduation Festivity

Daniel Condurachi — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:27:17 +0000

I know that this post comes a little late. There are so many things to do so the personal stuff comes last on the duties list. at least in practice.

So here are a few photos I did at Denisa’s graduation festivity. I am so proud of her. She graduated the Computer Science Faculty, form the A. I. Cuza University of Iasi. The festivity took place in Mihai Eminescu Hall, at Gh. Asachi Technical University of Iasi. Yes, I know that it is very strange that faculty from a university to have their festivities in a hall form another university.
