I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp–
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money! Twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal?
Would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake.
‘And why’s everyone so quiet,
So somber – give me a clue.’
‘Hush, child,’ He said, ‘they’re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing you.’
JUDGE NOT.
Remember…Just going to church doesn’t make you a Christian
Any more than…Standing in your garage makes you a car.

One Sunday afternoon a little girl was happily walking home from Kids Church reading her bible. When she arrived at her driveway, her grumpy neighbor noticed what the little girl was doing and asked roughly, “What are you reading, girl?”
The little girl replied gently, “My bible. The part where a man called Jonah got swallowed by a big fish and God saved him.”
At this, the neighbour snickered and scoffed, “The bible is a made-up book! How could a man survive in the stomach of a fish?”
The girl answered, “Well, when I’m in heaven, I’ll ask Jonah.”
The neighbour laughed more and arrogantly asked, “What if Jonah isn’t in heaven?”
The little girl thought long and hard about this question then replied quietly, “Then you can ask him.”

If you are a Christian, do you dare to watch this film Fifty Shades of Grey?
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! This video of Jotta A, back when he was still 6 years old is very inspiring. At his tender age, he has used his talent to bring glory to our Lord Jesus and ushered people to an awesome worship encounter.
I came to know of this young man when I watched his breathtaking performance (see video here) of Michael W. Smith‘s song Agnus Dei. I hope he has found a recording company to further develop his skills in order reach more people globally. He also performed Chris Tomlin‘s version of Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) at the Joven’s Talentos Kids, a talent show with similar format as the famous shows like Britain’s Got Talent.
