I was doing my online devotional, the topic was "Once Saved Always Saved?" A lot of Christians believe that we cannot loose our salvation. Yes, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, but we can if we choose to do so.

Matthew 24:10-13

10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Take note, turn away from the faith. Meaning they were in faith. That only shows that being saved is an everyday choice.

Here's another Scripture. John 15:4-6

4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

So, make it our choice to remain in Him. Be saved, everyday!

Well, I worked last night, and I'm on my way to work again. It was not bad last night. Kinda quiet compare to the other nights, the only thing different is we had a fund raising for the American Heart Walk. We sold chillidogs, eggrolls, strawberry smoothies, breakfast like eggs, sausages. We sold to other employees and to ourselves. It was quite a success. We're gonna do it again this Saturday.

Well, gotta go. God Bless!

I'm a new blogger! Why do I want to be a blogger? Well, it seems cool to be one :D and it's a great opportunity to speak out what I think.

Let me tell you about my summer. It's been an awesome season for me. I went on a mission trip to Costa Rica with the Teen Mania's Global Expeditions. It was neat! First time I went on a mission trip and I am definitely going again! There's a lot of people who's been touched by the message that we brought to them. We did a drama called "The Journey" and it's about a man who's been living in 'routines' and one day he realized he's had enough of it. He went on to search for answers to his questions. Why am I here? Who made me? All along there was the Miracle Man who had the answer. One day the Journey Man listened to the Miracle Man after searching for answers in pleasure, power, science to find out nothing from them.

Yeah, that's the story. We are the Journey Man, Jesus is the Miracle Man. All we need to do is be still, listen to what Jesus has to say!

What else happened on that trip? Well, one of our teammates prayed for a man who's been in pain for 30 years because of a motor cycle accident, now he's pain free! And from the other team, there was a blind boy, they prayed for him, now he can see! It was awesome, it raised our faith. Not only the nationals were touched, we, the missionaries were also touched! We learned compassion, and now we have two favorite phrases, 'Vale La Pena' which means 'It's Worth The Trouble' and 'It's Not About Me.' Yeah, we had to learn them. It was inconvinient for us to be out of the country. We left our comfort zone, but it's worth it!
