02.26.09Responsabilitatea fiecarei generatii
Azi am inceput sa realizez cat de importanta este responsabilitatea fiecarei generatii de oameni care Il cunosc si vor sa Il cunoasca pe Dumenzeu. In aceasta lume atat de complicata e parca tot mai greu sa fim oameni dedicati lui Dumnezeu.
Am inceput sa citesc cartea Judecatori. In primele capitole vedem cum se face tranzitia de la un popor cu inclinatii razboinice la un popor sedentar. Dar mai mult de atat se face o tranzitie de la un popor care traia cu Dumnezeu zi de zi si Il experimenta, la un popor care nu aveau nici o treaba cu Dumnezeu, dumnezeul parintilor lor. Acest mecanism spiritual il experimentam si noi astazi.
Tot neamul acela de oameni a fost adaugat la parintii lui, si s’a ridicat dup? el un alt neam de oameni, care nu cunostea pe Domnul, nici ce facuse El pentru Israel.
Judecatori 2:10
Din acest verset sa ridica cateva intrebari. De ce noua generatie nu cunostea pe Domnul? De ce noua generatie nu cunostea ce facuse Dumnezeu pentru Israel?
Inceputul raspunsului la aceste intrebari cred ca il gasim scris in Judecatori 1:
27 Manase n’a izgonit nici el pe locuitorii din Bet-Sean si din satele dimprejurul lui, din Taanac si satele lui, din Dor si satele dimprejurul lui, din Iibleam si satele dimprejurul lui, din Meghido si satele dimprejurul lui; asa încît Cananitii au izbutit sa ramîna în tara aceasta.
28 Cînd Israel a fost destul de tare, a supus pe Cananiti la un bir, dar nu i -a izgonit.
29 Efraim n’a izgonit pe Cananitii cari locuiau la Ghezer, si Cananitii au locuit în mijlocul lui Efraim la Ghezer.
30 Zabulon n’a izgonit nici el pe locuitorii din Chitron, nici pe locuitorii din Nahalol; si Canani?ii au locuit în mijlocul lui Zabulon, dar au fost supusi la un bir.
31 Nici Aser n’a izgonit pe locuitorii din Aco, nici pe locuitorii din Sidon, nici pe cei din Ahlab, din Aczib, din Helba, din Afic si din Rehob;
32 Si Aseritii au locuit în mijlocul Cananitilor, locuitorii tarii, caci nu i-au izgonit.
33 Neftali n’a izgonit pe locuitorii din Bet-Semes, nici pe locuitorii din Bet-Anat, si a locuit în mijlocul Cananitilor, locuitorii tarii; dar locuitorii din Bet-Semes si din Bet-Anat au fost supusi la un bir.
34 Amoritii au dat înapoi în munte pe fiii lui Dan, si nu i-au lasat sa se coboare în cîmpie.
35 Amoritii au izbutit sa ramîna la Har-Heres, la Aialon si la Saalbim; dar mîna casei lui Iosif a apasat asupra lor, si au fost supusi la un bir.
36 Tinutul Amoritilor se întindea dela suisul Acrabim, dela Sela, si în sus.
Judecatori 1:27-36
Triburile lui Israel nu si-au dus la capat misiunea. Dumnezeu le spusese sa omoare sau sa alunge celelate popoare. Fiecare trib/semintie avea mostenirea lui in care trebuia sa faca curatenie. Acestia au preferat sa ii lase in viata pe fostii locuitori si nici nu i-au alungat.
De ce au procedat ei astfel? Pentru ca s-au multumit cu putin. Pentru ca de fapt nu au vrut sa continue lupta. Ba mai mult… au preferat sa ii faca robi sau chair sa colaboreze in afaceri cu cei care trebuiau alungati. Au preferat sa aiba un avantaj lumesc si de moment in pofida unui avantaj ceresc ascultand de Dumnezeu si pe termen lung. Au ajuns chiar sa se incuscreasca si sa face legaminte cu cei pe care trebuieau sa ii omoare in prima instanta.
Totusi e usor eu acum stand aici la caldurica sa ii critic pe ei. Ce am eu de invatat din asta? Cu siguranta nu sa ii critic. Am de invatat destul de multe…
In viata spirituala nu trebuie sa ma multumesc din partea mea niciodata cu ce este, cu ce sunt. Ba chair mai mult sa nu ma las influentat de Satan pentru avantje de moment, neascultand de Dumnezeu. Diavolul vine si ne amageste promitandu-ne tot felul de lucruri. Insa acestea ori nu se vor intampla niciodata ori sunt pentru o perioada foarte scurta si avem de suferit pe urma. Dumnezeu ne iubeste si ne vrea binele acum si in vesnicii. Dumnezeu este cu adevarat interesat de noi si sufletul nostru.
Eu trebuie sa traiesc placut inaintea lui Dumenzeu si sa nu accept orice fel de legatura cu pacatul pentru nici un fel de avantaj iluzoriu. Acelasi principiu putem sa il aplicam si in viata de zi cu zi cred. Putem depista astfel pe slujitorii Satanei care ne promit ce nu pot indepli. Ii putem gasi de la politicieni pana la vanzatoarea de la chiosc. In acelasi timp este responsabilitatea mea sa fiu un slujitor onesc al lui Dumenzeu in domeniul meu, in colaborarea mea cu ceilalti oameni.
Pe langa trairea mea de zi cu zi si exemplu care il voi da copiilor mei dar celorlalti mai tineri sau mai in varsta ca mine trebuie sa ma fac ceva. In responsabilitatea mea mai intra cresterea copiilor mei in asa fel incat sa stau si sa le explic cine este Dumenzeu si cum lucreaza El.
Noua generatie de israeliti a crescut in mediul respectiv in care parintii lor au preferat sa colaboreze cu cei pe care trebuiau sa ii alunge ori sa ii omoare. Copii au vazut la parintii lor cum s-au compromis. Ba chair mai mult au fazut pe parintii lor cum se inchinau idolilor celorlaltor popoare. Parinti lor traiau o viata duplicitara. Si noi de multe ori facem asa. Dar de ce sa zic de altii cand de fapt eu traiesc duplicitar de mute ori. Ma las prins de lumea aceasta si in loc sa ma inchin lui Dumnezeu, ma inchin banului sau mai stiu eu cui. Trebuie sa imi traiesc viata ca un exemplu. Exemplu pentur toti trebuie sa fiu. Mai incolo voi fi un exemplu si pentru copiii mei cand voi avea.
Mai mult decat un exemplu trebuie sa ne facem timp sa discutam cu ai nostri copii si tineri. Trebuie sa investim in generatiile viitoare. Cei de dupa noi nu trebuie doar sa ne copie pe noi in mod orbesc. Generatiile urmatoare trebuie sa inteleaga de ce si cum. Daca nu vor intelege, vor merge asa… manati de vant, iar cand vor da de greu vor renunta la Dumnezeu. Vor pati la fel ca generatiile post-cucerire Canaan.

12.30.08The New Possibility in Christ
Photo of Denisa I took at Samy Cauneac wedding
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.

11.23.08Life Changing God
This week something great happened to me. Yes… it’s great. Through Denisa and by God’s grace I found this website. Some of you might wonder how I can thank God for a website. Actually I thank Him for so much more He did and as a consequence of this there’s this website. So, what I am talking about is a website of a church. It’s a website where everybody can find their sermons, their offering to God. You can find there how God talks to them… and God could also talk to you.
So here is the website of NewSpring Church. There are several series of messages and many more to come. What I listened to changed my life and helped me to understand God more.
I have a flue right now. I can not get out of the house. Well, I can but this would not help me to get better. So, today I have not been able to go to church, even if I wanted to. So, instead of doing nothing I went again to the NewSpring Church website. It is better than nothing and it is good that it helped me understand more about God and what He wants from me and how much He loves me.
God loves you too! Yes, He does! It’s your choice to show love back.

10.23.08Human Attraction to Rituals Rather Than Obeying to God
Reading the scriptures and observing the real life I observe that there is a fight between two facts.
God tells us to Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God and you will be My people; and walk in the whole way that I command you, that it may be well with you. (Jeremiah 7:23) On the other hand, we want to perform some kind of ritual. It seems that it is in our nature to do things instead of obeying God. I Jeremiah 7:22 it tells to the Israel people that in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices. We think that we would get out just with making something. We try to change something outside of us instead of changing something inside of us.
Maybe that is why there are so many religions out there. All want to work out some processions and to receive the self fulfillment. More or less, our conscience accuses us. In out deepest part of the soul, we want to be free of this. Maybe we do not realize it. Instead of doing the real change within us we try to escape with doing something exterior.
Christianity did not escape of this plague of exteriorism faith. We created so many rituals and processions like all the other religions out there. At the base of Christianity is the only and true God, but because of our sinful nature, we made it just a religion like all the others, a religion of rituals instead one of faith and obeying. Instead of living in the light I am walking in the gray area. My conscience accuses me, so I feel guild. This guilt hurts. In this situation I want to escape the guilt. So, I try to make it go away by performing some rituals. But actually doing so I am treating the result, not the cause. I try to make go way the resulting grief.
The prophet Jeremiah tells us from the Lord:
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings,
if you thoroughly and truly execute justice between every man and his neighbor,6 If you do not oppress the transient and the alien,
the fatherless,
and the widow
or shed innocent blood
[by oppression and by judicial murders]
or go after other gods to your own hurt,7 Then I will cause you to dwell in this place,
in the land that I gave of old to your fathers
to dwell in forever.Jeremiah 7:5-7
I encourage you to continue those thoughts. Please let us all know how do you feel about this, how your inner being tries to get away with performing rituals. Thank you!

09.23.08God Takes Care of His Real Children – Be One of Them
Photo taken in Copou Park, in Iasi, on 19th of August 2008, at 9 pm, after I took part at the Photographers Club of Iasi
How can we be a real child of God? For a start believe in Him, love Him and act accordingly…
15 He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
who despises gain from fraud and from oppression,
who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil.16 [Such a man] will dwell on the heights;
his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
his bread will be given him;
water for him will be sure.Isaiah 33:15-16

05.26.08Photos Of Me Taken by Denisa After Her Last Exam
On Saturday evening I met with Denisa, after her last exam. She had her last exam. That is great. I am very happy for her. God loves her very much and helped Denisa to finish university. If you didn’t know, she studied computer science. In a few days Denisa will have the graduation ceremony.
Here are some photos we took to the other, in front of the Gr. T. Popa Medicine University of Iasi.
