A Mother's Love

2012-02-09T22:12:00.001-05:00

This is a true story of Mother’s Sacrifice during the Japan Earthquake.

After the Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supporting by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescuer team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.

He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his head through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement, "A child! There is a child!" The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.

The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said,” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept. ” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’s love for her child!!

Tihnak In Luat Thei Daan (Freedom From Fear)

2012-02-09T18:36:00.001-05:00

I John 4:18

Duhdawtnak sungah cun ṭihphannak a um lo; a famkimmi duhdawtnak in ṭihphannak cu a hlohter ṭheh. Curuangah ṭihphannak a neimi sungah cun duhdawtnak cu famkimin a um hrih lo, ziangah tile ṭihphannak cu hremnak thawn a pehtlai awmi a si.

Thuhmaihruai:

Tihphannak timi hi milai zokip in kan tong cio. Damlonak maw, thihnak maw, hminsiatnak maw, buainak maw, hlawhtlinlonak maw, hnatuan neih lonak maw tvp. . . a phunphun kan tih cio ding.

Himi kan tihmi pawl hi ziangbik hi ka tihmi a si ti kan check awk ih, luatnak lamzin kan hawl lo ahcun, tihphannak cun kan thin in baang ter, kan ruahnak a hnawk ter, kan thazaang khal a cem ter ih, minung dangah in can ter.

Tihnak phun hnih

Tihnak timi hi a sia theh lo. Tihnak timi hi phun hnih in kan tthen thei. Zokip ih neihmi tihnak (normal fear) le mikip ih neih lomi tihnak (abnormal fear). Sigmund Freud cun hitin a sim. Zaraan tihnak (normal fear) cu hram lak ah rul an um ding ti ruat ih hramlak tih zu a cang thei taktakmi a si ih, kan tih cio. Himi normal fear cu a sia theh lo. A thatnak cu kan sunglam ah tihnungmi tih thiamnak Pathian ih in pekmi daan (system) a si. Camibuai sun kan tih ruangah ca kan zuam ciamco. Nat kha kan tih tuk ruangah sii phunphun a suak. Kan faa le ca an thiam lo le an aa tuk ding tiah kan phan ruangah, tlawng phunphun a suak. United Nation timi tla khi hruaitu pawl in ral an tih ruangah, pumkhat te ih kan um a tul tiah an tiih a cang suakmi a si.

Asinan, zaraan a si lomi tihnak (abnormal fear) ahcun, rul pawl kan tokheng tangah an um ding ti ruat ih tongkheng tiang to ngam lo ih tihnak khi a si. Cumi cu mah le mah kan tthih awknak in a suakmi ttihnak a si. Nauhak thinlung lam zingzoitu pawl in, “Zaraan (normal) nauhak cun, kan suahsem ihsin tihmi pahnih lawng kan nei: tlak ding (falling) le awringmi (loud noise) lawng kan tih. A dang kan tihmi pawl cu kiangkap ih zirhnak ruang ih kan neihmi tihnak an si” tiah an sim. Kan tokheng tangah rul a um thei ti ih, kan kiangkap ih in ttihmi kha a taktak ah kan ruat sual pang ih kan tih cihcihmi men khi a si sawn tiah an sim. Laimi kan ral a hrutnak cu kan nauhak lai, tihmi zianghman kan neih lo lai ah thu si lo lo in, kan tthih awk ruangah a si. Mirang nauhak pawl khua thim sung khal ah zianghman tih lo in, an um ngam. Cucu ziangahtile, an nauhak lai in an nulepa in an tthih lo ruangah a si.

Tihnak thami (normal fear) cun ralrin in thiam ter. Tihnak tha lomi (abnormal fear) cun, kan thuruah le thiamnak pawl hman theih lo ko a com (paralyze) ter theh. Ziangvek ttihnak khal siseh, ziangtin kan neh thei ding tihi kan thusuh ding mi cu a si?

Tihnak Neh Daan

Tihnak kan neihmi pawl kan neh theinak dingah, tihnak pawl hi khui in an ra timi kan theih a tul. Cumi pawl thei dingah a tanglam vek in tuah aw.

Ziangmi khi ziangruangah ka ttih timi sutaw aw. A hrek khat kan tihnak cu khui in a ra tile, kan mah le mah kan thih awk mi men khi a si theu. Curuangah na suhawk dingmi thu cu: “Tih ding taktak ka ttihmi a si maw?” “Keimah le keimah kha ka tthih awmi a si” timi kha ruat aw. Kan tihmi kha ziang a si ti in, cabuai par ah re in zoh aw la, kan ruahnak menmen khi a rak si theu ti na hmu fiang ding. Cu pawl cu tih ciamco duh hlah. Na tihnak hi nangmah te na tthih aw ciamconak ruangih a thlengmi a si ahcun, Saam 34:7 sung ih sim bang in, Pathian ih vaancungmi thawng tampi in in kilkhawi timi kha na mitthlam in cuan aw la, na hna a ngam ding.

Raltha zet in na ttihmi kha pahsuak (pass/confrontation) ding tum aw. A hrek khat cu thinphan ding le ttih tlak taktak khal a um ngaingai ko ding. Ziangtin kan neh thei ding? Ral thatnak thawn kan pahtlang ding hi a si. Ral thatnak timi cu ka pah-tlang (pass) thei ding timi ruahnak (self-affirmation) khi a si. Cumi in, cahnak le tthansonak a lo ngah ter ding. Thuthimnak ah, mi in hla phuah in rak fial tikah, ka thiam lo nan sak ding an nei nawn lo pang ding ih, mualpho in an um pang ding ti ka phan tikah, ka phuah ka phuah ih, hla phuah ka thiam cihcih ta. Na hrial tum le ttihnak thawn na sungah a khat ringring ding. Cuvek thotho in, mihrek khat cu mirang ca ngan kan thiam lo an ti ih mirang ca an ttih zet. A zir le siar an tum cuang lo ih, a hrial ih hrial an tum. Asinan, cumi in mahlemah rinsanawk ngam lo nak (lack of self-affirmation) a suah ter. Cuvek thotho in, hnatuan ngah lo ding na phan le, hnatuan kha ral tha zet in sioh aw, a tulmi pawl kha timtuah aw. Hnatuannak in cawlh ding nan phan le, a tha bik in hna tuan aw. Na thuanthu tha zet ding in hnatuan aw la, cule, na pu le in an lo duhdawt ding in, an lo baan ter dah lo ding. Ral tha pawl cun, an tihmi kha an nor lawlaw ih nehnak an co, tihhrut pawl cun, an tihmi kha an hrial tum asinan cuih an tihmi in an nunnak kha sal bang in hremtu ah a cang.

Tihnak cu duhdawtnak thawng in neh a theih. A hrek khat kan sunglam ih tihnak a neihmi khi khui tawk in a ra tile, huatawknak ruangah a si. Huatawknak ruangih a suakmi ttihnak a si ahcun, duhdawtnak lawng in cuih tihnak cu a neh thei. I John 4:18 sungah, duhdawtnak cun tihnak pawl a dawi hlo theh. Mi na duhdawt le na tih lo ding. A parah duhdawtnak thawn thatnak siar lo zianghman ka tuah lo ding na ti ahcun, mi na ttih lamlam lo ding. Asinan, an par ih that lonak na tuahmi lole, na parih thatlonak a tuahtu cun, ton le pawlkom ding hman an lo tih si lo maw? Tulai san ah, ram khat le ram khat an do awk rero tla hi, Iraq thawn an rem aw lo ih, nuclear a nei tiah US in a puh ih, curuangah a tih ih a va do. Cutin an hua aw sinsin. Tulai ah, ral thuam nei tam deuhdeuh in tihnak a nei lo ding tiah an ti. A taktak ahcun, ralthuam an nei tam deuhdeuh an tih aw deuhdeuh. Asinan, bible in tihnak a hloh tertu taktak cu ralthuam a si a ti lo, duhdawtnak a si tiah a ti. Duhdawtnak timi cu ziang a si? Duhdawtnak timi cu midang zawn a ruat, a thin a tawi lo. Midang ningzah ter ding a tum dah lo (1 Cor. 13:1 in tanglam).

Tihnak cu Pathian rinsannak thawn neh a theih. A dang tihnak cu khui tawk in a ra tile, kan sunglam in a rami a si. “Keimah lawng ka si, duhdawttu ka nei lo, rualpi ka nei lo, ka fim tawk lo, ka thiam tawk lo, ka nei tawk lo, ttanpitu ka nei lo, hmailam ka feh ngam lo ding” timi ruahnak pawl ruangah a si. Facebook sungah cangan pakhat ka duh zetmi te a um: “I am not afraid tomorrow because God is already there.” A ra dingmi caan hi ka tih hrimhrim lo ziangah tile, ka Bawipa cu cu tawk ah a rak um cia a si a ti. A tha zet ka ti. Saam 23:1 sungah, Bawipa cu ii khaltu a si tiah a sim. Anih in in taansan dah lo (Heb. 13:5). Kan hnen ah in umpi ringring. Caan tampi ah kan nunnak hi cunu/pa ruangah or keimah ruangah hi dinhmun kan thleng tiah kan ruat aw pang theu. Cuvek ih na ruah ahcun, na duhvek ih thil a can lo tikah, na beidong mei ding. Asinan, Bawipaih ruangah hih dinhmun tiang ka thleng a si timi na theih ih na zum ahcun, ziangvek thil cang khal sehla, ka hrangah Bawipa in lamzin thazet I hmuh duhmi a um timi na thei ding ih, na ruahsannak a cem dah lo ding. Asinan, zuam theinak, cah damnak, a tulmi lamzin in on saktu hi Amah Pathian a si ti kan ruat theu lo (Dan 8:17). Paul ih a ral that biknak cu, Khrih in ka tulmi thazaang I pe ringring ih, Amai thazaang in ziangkim ka tuah thei timi a hmuh awk tuk ruangah, “Thazaang I petu Khrih thawng in ziangkim ka ti thei” (Fili 4:13). 2 Cor 12:9 “Ka zangfahnak cu na hrangah a tawk, ziangahtile na tontaih lai caan hi ka cahbik lai caan a si” tiah Pathian in Paul kha a ti. Asim duh bikmi cu na tontaih lai bik caan ah, ka cahnak huham na parah ka lang ter a si tiah a tinak a si. “Keimah in ka thazaang in ka lo nun ter ding” tinak a si. Curuangah, tihphannak tisuar pawl na kiang ih an rat tikah, Bawi Jesuh ih duhdawtnak le umpinak kha zoh ringring aw. Ral tha zet in hmai na nor thei ding. Jesuh na lawng sungah a to.

Thunetnak:

Tihnak kan neihmi in kan siding tluk in si thei lo ko in tuah. Tihnak phun hnih aum ih, zaran ih neihmi tihnak le mah le mah tthihawknak in a rami tihnak a si. Hram lak ah rul a um timi tihnak cu zaraan ih neihmi tihnak a si. Asinan, kan tokheng tangah rul a um ding timi ruahnak ruangih to ngam lo cu a dik lomi (abnormal fear) tihnak a si. Zaanran tihnak siseh, mahlemah tthihawknak ih kan neihmi tihnak pawl ziangtin kan neh thei ding.

Na tihmi hi ziang a si ih ziangruangah na tih ti sutaw aw. A dik lomi tihnak (abnormal fear) a si ahcun, na ruahnak kha vancungmi in in kil ti lam ah hoi sawn aw la, na hna a ngam ding (Ps. 34:7).
Na tihmi kha tih ding taktak an si ahcun, ral thazet in na tihmi kha pah mei aw. Cami buai na tih le, na tihmi kha zuamnak in neh ko pah mei aw.
Na tihmi kha huatnak ruangah a si ahcun, na huatmi parah culole, a lo huatu pawl ih parah duhdawtnak thawn lawng na neh thei ding. Cumi nei thei dingah, minung cu a thleng aw theimi kan si timi thei in, Khrih ih in ngaithiam bang in, ngaithiam mei aw.
Na tihnak hi nangmah te na rinsan awknak ih a rami a si ahcun, Pathian rinsannak in cui na tihnak cu neh a theih. Keimah ih thilti theinak ruangah a si lo, Pathian ih umpinak le huham thilti theinak thawn ziangkim ka ti thei timi thei ringring aw.

Her name is Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 yrs old. Next to her is her fiancé, Nick, 23. (Pic1)

This picture was taken prior to their wedding January 11th, 2005.
Katie has terminal cancer and spends hours in chemotherapy.
Here Nick awaits while she finishes one of the sessions...(Pic2)

Even in pain and dealing with her organs shutting down, with the help of morphine, Katie took care of every single part of the wedding planning.
Her dress had to be adjusted several times due to Katie 's constant weight loss. (Pic3)

An expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie had to use it during the ceremony and reception. The other couple in this picture is Nick's parents, very emotional with the wedding and to see their son marrying the girl he fell in love when he was an adolescent. (Pic4)

Katie, in a wheel chair listening to her husband and friends singing to her. (Pic5)

In the middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a bit and catch her breath.
The pain does not allow her to stand for long period of time. (Pic6)

Katie died 5 days after her wedding. To see a fragile woman dress as bride with a beautiful smile makes you think... happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts..... lets enjoy life and don't live a complicated life. Life is too short.

Work as if it was your first day.
Forgive as soon as possible.
Love without boundaries...
Laugh without control
and never stop smiling.

Please pray for those suffering from cancer.
We all have close to our heart.
Keep this going.

Prayers are always answered.

Life is too short to argue and desperate. .

Facing the Sun or the Shade?

2012-02-09T01:38:00.000-05:00

When I was a child, I tried to chase my shade that comes from direct sunlight. The faster I chase my shade, the faster it goes before me. Chasing one's own shade just leaves me tiredness without having success. When I grew up, I know how to catch up my own shade: I just face the sun and keep walking. Then, I don't need to chase my shade as it just follows me. It comes after me wherever I go.

Jesus teaches us how to chase our needs at Matthew 6:33, "But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." He teaches us to chase God's reign that is God's way of life revealed in Christ and his righteousness, then, all our needs will be given but not vice versa. In other words, he teaches us to face the sun and keep walking, then, the shade will follow us.

Many times, I am so childish as I still try to chase my shade rather than walking towards the sun. “Lord help me to walk toward you through your way first rather than chasing my needs and wants.”

Tithing/Thenhra Then Khat: Zumnak le Peknak hi a Peh Aw Maw?

2012-02-06T16:39:00.002-05:00

by San No Thuan

Thuhmaihruai:

Zumnak ah kan thangso le thangso lo tahnak fung pakhat cu peknak hi a si. Ziangruangah peknak le zumnak hi a peh aw timi hi a tanglam ah vun langh ter ka duh. Cui tlunah, peknak ti tikah a hleice in thenhra thenkhat hi zumtu pawl lamzin dikte kan thanso theinak ding hrangah a si. Cutluk ih a thupimi a si ahcun, thenhra thenkhat hi khui tik in a thok, ziangmi hrangah an rak hmang? Jesuh in teh ziangtin a rak zirh? Tuih sunah teh kan pek a tul maw? Khui tawk ah kan pe ding? Ziangtin kan hmang ding? Hi thusuhnak pawl hi himi sungah langh ter ka duhmi pawl cu an si.

1. Khui tik in a thok?

a. Seem 14:20 … Abrahram in Melchizedek (Selem Siangpahrang le Puithiam a si) kha a rak pek.

b. Cuzat na pe ding ti a dil lo nan, Abraham in nehnak le thluasuah a petu Pathian hnen ih lungawi thusimnak a si. Pathian ruangah hivek nehnak ka co theinak a si timi a zum ruangah, Abraham in, lungawi thusimnak hi a pekmi a si.

c. Pathian thawn a tong awmi pawl ih an thukammi a si. Thuthimnak ah Jacob le Pathian (Seem 28:19-22).

2. Moses hnen ih pekmi thukham sung khal ah 1/10 pek ding cu Pathian ih thupekmi a si.

a. Puithiam-levi. 27:30-32. Thenhra thenkhat pek dingmi sungah ziang pawl a tel?

i. Thingthei/hanghnah hangrah

ii. Tilva pawl tla an tel: tuu, caw, me pawl an si.

3. Ziang hrangah an rak hmang?

a. Levi mi puithiam/Pathian hnatuantu innsang pawl bomnak ding hrangah nan hmang pei ti ih thupeknak a rak um (Mipum: Number 18:25-26). Sualnak ih an hman le an thi ding timi hi Pathian thupek a si.

4. Thlarau lam ih tharthawhnak a um tikah an tuahmi cu peknak hi a si.

a. Hezekiah – 2 San 31:4-6 ….

A pa Ahaz in, a uk sungah pathian dangdang pawl a rak biakpi. Thenhra thenkhat pek khal a duh lo. Curuangah, Pathian a ram cu a ral Siria kut sungah a pek (2 San 28:6). A fapa Hezekiah (728–699) cun Judah ram a uk tikah, mipi pawl kha Pathian thu in a hruai sal ih, mipi pawl in an khua sung ih milem biaktheng pawl an siat theh. Hezekia in thenhra thenkhat khal Pathian hnen ah rak keng ding in thu a pek sal.

b. Malachi – Mal. 3:7-8 . . .

Babylon sal in a ra tlun hnu ah, Porfet Malachi in thlarau lam in mipi a thar thawh sal. A caan cu BC 500 hrawngah a si ih, Nehemiah hlan deuh a si. Jerusalem Biakinn pi a veihnihnak (BC 515) hrawngah an sak. Pathian miphun pawl ih biaknak lam daithlaannak kha tung ding sal dingah tthenhra then khat hi biakinn ah nan rak keng pei tiah Pathian ih thupekmi a si.

c. Nehemiah – Nehemiah 10:34-37 . . .

Babylon sal ih a tlun hnu a si ih, Jerusalem hauhruawng pawl cu a siat theh. Mi in Juhdam an zawmtai. Cucu Nehemiah bawipa in ram a rem ih, Puithiam Ezra in Daan bu a siar ih, mipi pawl in an sual an phuang. Cule, 1/10 kim te in kan pe ding tiah Pathian hmai ah thu an kam aw. Nehemiah cun, Judah ram cu (BC 445-433) tiang a uk. Nehemiah cu Judah ram uktu Mangki Bawi a rak si. Siangpahrang cu a si lo.

Himi thuanthu pathum kan zoh tikah, Israelmi pawl in thlarau lam ih thangphawk an neih caan ah thenhra thenkhat pek hi an rak zirh aw ih, mipi khal in an rak pe. Thenhra thenkhat pek a um lo lai caan cu an ram Pathian thu ih an tluk siat caan le tumsuk lam an pan caan a rak si ti kan hmu thei.

Thenhra then khat hi Jesuh Khrih khal ih lungkimmi a si.

Matthew 23:23 .. “Ṭhenhra ṭhenkhat cu nan pek ding hrimhrim a si. Asinain Daan sungih a ummi a dang pawl khal nan daithlang lo pei.”
Mihrek in Moses daan in kan nung nawn lo tiah kan ti ih, 1/10 kan pe duh lo. Asinan, Jesuh ih thu in pekmi a si ahcun, cuih daan cu peh ding kan si.
Mihrek in Jesuh ih thupi ah re sehla, tampi a rak zirh ding si tiah an ti. Bible thiam pawl cun, Jesuh ih san lai ah Judahmi pawl Biaknak lam ah an cak zet. Thu khal an nei zet. A hlei in, thenhra thenkhat peknak khal a cak zet ti a hmuh ruangah, sim tul ah a ruat lo ih, a sim lonak sawn si ding ti ruahsannak an nei.

Ziangmi hrangah kan hmang ding?

O.T sung ih Puithiam pawl zohkhennak ih hman a si bang in, tuih sun khal ah Pastor pawl hrangih hman dingmi a si (Neh 13:5, 1 Cor 9:13-14).
Jesuh ih hnatuanmi pawl pehzulhnak hrangah: Pathian thusimnak, zirhnak, mi farah, le dam lo zoh kilkhawinak ah hman ding. Ziangah tile, Jesuh ka hmin in mifarah zonzai te nan duhdawtmi hi keimah in duhdawt a si tiah a ti (Matt. 25:40f, Matt 28:19-20; 1 Cor. 9:12).

Thenhra Then khat peknak in ziang thathnemnak a nei?

Na zumnak a fek sin ding. Pathian thluasuah siar zia in thiam ter ih kan tlau ding. Milian miaa pa vek na cang lo ding. (Luke 12:13f). Milian pa cu thluasuah a don tikah, amai nomnak ding hrangah hman a tum ih, khui ka ngah ti khal a ruat lo. Curuangah, Pathian in mi-aa pa tiah a tinak a si. Thenhra thenkhat na pek tikah, ka ziangkim hi Pathian hnen ihsin a rami a si tiah lungawithu kan simphuannak a si. Ka ziangkim hi Pathian hnen ihsin a rami ti na theih ahcun, cuih lungput cun, Pathian a lo rinsan ter sinsin ding (Daan 8:17, Jer. 17:5-8, 1 San 19:14).
Kan zumnak le duhdawtnak in saannak a si. Thluasuah maw, thluasuah petu a duhdawt sawn timi in saannak a si. Kan duhdawtnak kha kaa lawng in si lo in, tuah sernak in in hniksak a si. Thuthimnak ah, Abraham ih zumnak. Pathian in I pek ih I dil ahcun ka pe mei ding. A tul ahcun, Bawipa in I pe sal thotho ding timi zum ngamnak le a mah kan duhdawtnak in saannak a si.
Kawhhran ih sumpai lam buainak pawl a cem ter. Pastor pawl khal thate in a cawm thei. Harsatnak ah kan zoh kilkhawi aw thei. Cu ti in, minung tampi in Pathian thatnak kha an thei ding ih Pathian an thangthat ding (2 Kor 9:12).
Na thlaicii a si (Gal 6:7). Thenhra then khat cu Pathian in a mah kan duhdawt le dawt lo in theih duhnak ih in hniksaknak a si nan, thluasuah kan donnak sangkaa khal ih a tuahmi a si (Mal 3:10). Thenhra then khat hi pek lawng pehlah, Bawipa in pesal ding timi ruahsannak nei aw. E.g. Abraham le Isaac. Thlaicii khi na tuh tikah, na tuh zat in a kheu ve.

Cun, lo thlo pawl cun kan tuhmi vek ih aat ding kan si ruangah an ti ih, thlaicii an retmi cu a tha bikbik pawl kha an ei hlan ah an ret ta. Cuvek in, 1/10 khal hi a dangdang ih na ngahmi na hman theh hnu si lo in, na hman hlan ih na ret dingmi a si (Thuf. 3:9-10).

Khui tawk ah kan pe ding?

Mal 3:10 … Biakinn ah ken ding a si. Duhduh hmun dang ih pek ding a si lo. Midang bomnak cu then kua sung in bom ding a si.
Biakinn ciocio ah Lai tlaang kuat teh a poi maw?

i. Biakinn a khawmtu sungah innteek thinlung le mileeng lungput neitu phun hnih kan um. Inntek lungput neitu cun, maih innsang thansonak hrangah pe lo in, a um lo ding. Asinan, mileeng cun a lo leeng ding ih, a tlung men ding. US hi a laangte sung ih kan umnak ding a si nawn lo. Curuangah, kan kawhhran a cak ih, sumpai kan neih lawngah, Pathian thuthangtha simnak/zirhnak pawl tampi kan tuah thei ding. Saya khal kan sawm thei ding. Cuti in, kan faale an thangso thei ding. Mileeng lungput nei in, US ah na um ahcun na faa le an tthangso thei lo ding.

ii. Laimi hi midang pek le bom a duh tuktu kan si. A tha zet. Asinan, a that lonak pakhat a um. Mikhual le mileeng cu kan duhdawt thiam tuk ko nan, kan mah le mah duhdawt awk kan thiam lo. Vei khat vei hnih te inn ra leengtu cu sumpai kan pek, vok kan thah asinan, kan maih kawhhran pastor cu zianghman pek ding kan siang lo. Mai kawhhran ih pastor cu farah zet in kan ret ih, midang pastor cu kan va bawm ciamco. Cucu ziang thawn a bang aw tile, maih inn kaang ciamco ih, midang inn lawng va bawm thawn a bang rep.

Ziangruangah pek ding kan siang lo?

Ka ziangkim hi Pathian ta a si ti kan ruat theu lo (1 Saan 29:14). Kan maih hlawhmi/kan maih taa tiah kan ruah ruangah a si. Ziangkim hi Pathian ih taa an si ih, tuan hawl theinak kan thazang pawl khal hi Pahtian ih pekmi lawngte an si (Daan 8:17).
Pathian hnen ih thlaicii ka tuhmi a si tiah kan ruah theu lo ruangah a si. Ziang ruangah, Abraham in uicing in a fapa Isaac Pathian hnen ah a pek si pei? A lak in Pathian in ka pekmi hi a cem ral ter lo ding ti a fiang tuk. Siang zet ih pekmi lawng Pathian in a duh ih kei cu ka siang lo tiah kan ti. Abraham in Isaac a pekmi a ui lo ding tiah nan zum maw? Ahraham in ui cing in a pe nan, Pathian in a cohlang thotho (Mal. 3:10).

Thunetnak:

Pathian kan rinsannak le thenhra thenkhat le thil dangdang peknak hi a peh aw. Ziangah tile, thenhra thenkhat a petu pawl cu:

1. Pathian thluasuah siar thiamtu pawl an si ih, cuih lungput cun, Pathian a rinsan ter sinsin (1 San 29:14, Jer. 17:7-8).

2. Pathian hnen ih lungawi thusim a thiamtu pawl cu, Pathian in thu in kam, vancung sangkaa ka ong ding ih, thluasuah ka lo pe ding tiah thu in kam (Mal. 3:10, Pro. 3:9-10).

The Armor of God (Eph. 6:13-17)

2012-01-22T21:14:00.007-05:00

Introduction

Life is a battle between you and the evil forces. The enemies will always fight against you mostly when you are alone but its fight is not limited to it. It will also be in public. Hence, you need to wear the full armor of God all the time. God has provided us the “whole armor” and we dare not omit any part. Satan looks for that unguarded area where he can get a beachhead (Eph. 4:27). We must not expose ourselves to the enemies without wearing a spiritual armor. What is that armor?

1. The belt of truth (v. 14a).

Satan is a liar (John 8:44) but believers who follow the path of truth will defeat him. The question is where/what is the way of truth? Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Thus, believers must practice the way of Jesus who alone is the truth of life. Our way of life should be a Christ-based life. What is the way of Jesus? The way of Christ is full of humility, integrity, and a self-giving love that cast out fears (Phi. 2:5). Let's not put the foundation of our life style on the ways our surrounding people live. Thus, let us pray like this: "Jesus, you alone are my foundation for any situation that will arise today."

2. The breastplate of righteousness (v. 14b).

In order to walk on a victorious life, we need to get our eyes off of ourselves and back on the righteousness that is given in a relationship with Jesus (Col 2:13,14; 2 Cor. 5:12b). When Satan accuses the Christian, it is the righteousness of Christ that assures the believer of his salvation. But our positional righteousness in Christ, without practical righteousness in the daily life, only gives Satan opportunity to attack us. Thus, let us pray like this: "Lord, I can fight any battle today because you are my righteousness! Strengthen me to walk in obedience to your will which is righteousness."

3. The shoes of the gospel of peace (v. 15).

We need not fear the attack of Satan because we have the good news (gospel) of peace with God (Rom. 5:1); God is for us (Rom. 8:31). As God has made peace with us, we must be at peace not only with God but also with our fellow human beings if we are to defeat the devil (James 4:1-7). Thus, we must be prepared ourselves to bring good news of peace to the world. The most victorious Christian is a witnessing Christian. If we wear the shoes of the gospel, then we have the “beautiful feet” mentioned in Isaiah 52:7 and Romans 10:15. Let us pray to God asking, “Lord, help me prepare myself to be ready to bring the gospel of your peace wherever I go.” Are you ready to share the good news of God’s peace through Jesus to the world? In other words, do you wear your shoes in combating with the devil?

4. The shield of faith (v. 16).

This shield is used to protect oneself from the fiery darts, arrows, and spears that come directly to our hearts and minds. Those are: lies, doubts, and burning desires for sin. If we do not quench these darts by faith, they will light a fire within and we will disobey God. The faith mentioned here is not saving faith, but a living faith, a trust in the promises and the power of God. Is our faith an "obedient faith" like Abraham's? (cf. 6:46). Though Abraham and his descendants did not see the Promised Land for four hundred years (Gen. 15:13-21), he obeyed the voice of God by leaving his hometown, and by offering up his own son Isaac believing that if it is needed, God can raise him and fulfill his promises through him (Gen. 22:1-19).

The living faith requires first bearing the cross meaning forsaking or “death to self, to our own plans and ambitions, and a willingness to serve as He directs (John 12:23-28).[1] It is our identification with Christ in shame, suffering, and surrender to God’s will.”[2] Second, a living faith requires an “offering faith” that offers even the thing that we love most like Abraham’s faith (Rom. 12:1-2).

5. The helmet of salvation (v. 17).

The helmet is to protect the head. The head/the intellect plays the vital role in Christian growth, service, and victory. Satan wants to attack the head (mind/intellect) the way he defeated Eve (Gen. 3; 2 Cor. 11:1-3). The helmet refers to the mind controlled by God, our salvation (Luke 2:30). Without his control, there is no victorious life. Therefore, we need to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). To grow in Christ, you must study the Bible and learn the meaning of the Bible doctrines that it will nourish your mind, and protect you from false ideologies of the devils.

6. The sword of the Spirit (v. 17b).

The sword is the offensive weapon, which was used for close-in fighting. God provides us the mighty sword that is His Word that can pierce not only to the body but also the heart (Heb. 4:12; Acts 2:37). Moses tried to conquer with a physical sword (Ex. 2:11-15) only to discover that God’s Word alone was more than enough to defeat the Egypt. Peter also tried to use a sword to defend Jesus in the garden (Luke 22:47—51), but on Pentecost day, he found out that the Word of God is more powerful than the sword.

The physical sword pierces only the body but the Word of God pierces the heart. The sword needs the power of a soldier but the Word of God has its own power (Heb. 4:12). A physical sword wounds to hurt and kill, but the Word of God wounds to heal and give life. Jesus used the sword of the Spirit and defeated the devil when he was tempted in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-13).

Conclusion

The whole armor of God is the picture of the Jesus Christ. We must put on Jesus Christ in our daily life. Christ is the Truth (John 14:6), and He is our righteousness (2 Cor. 5:11), and our peace (Eph. 2:14). His faithfulness and obedience makes us possible our faith (Gal. 2:20); He is our salvation (Luke 2:30); He is the Word of God (John 1:1, 14). This means when we trust Christ, we receive the armor of God.

When King David put off his armor and returned to his palace, he was in greater danger than when he was on the battlefield (2 Sam. 11). We are never out of reach of Satan’s devices, so we must never be without the whole armor of God. Thus, wear your armor now:

1. For your belt, wear the truth: integrity and a self-giving love as they are the way of Jesus.

2. For your breastplate, wear righteousness that Jesus provides you and command you to practice.

3. For your shoes, wear the gospel of peace that God himself made with you and command you to witness to the world.

4. For your shield, wear the faith that obeys and offers like the faith of Abraham.

5. For your helmet, protect your head/your intellect with the teaching of God’s salvation that will liberate you from false ideologies.

6. For your sword, use the Word of God which can wound the heart to heal and give life.

In order to be ready for the battle, you must keep in touch with your commander Jesus. How? Through prayer. The more you keep in touch with your commander, Jesus through prayer, the stronger you will be. Remember prayer is not a way of defeating a spiritual war but it is a war itself. In prayer, you are armed with the armor of God and God works through you.

[1] John 12:23-28. This verse does not encourage Christians to hate their family but to love less than Jesus Christ. What God wants from us is to love him the most (Luke 10:27).

Q&A on Stress for Adults

Q&A on Stress for Adults: How it affects your health and what you can do about it

Stress — just the word may be enough to set your nerves on edge. Everyone feels stressed from time to time. Some people may cope with stress more effectively or recover from stressful events quicker than others. It's important to know your limits when it comes to stress to avoid more serious health effects.

What is stress?

Stress can be defined as the brain's response to any demand. Many things can trigger this response, including change. Changes can be positive or negative, as well as real or perceived. They may be recurring, short-term, or long-term and may include things like commuting to and from school or work every day, traveling for a yearly vacation, or moving to another home. Changes can be mild and relatively harmless, such as winning a race, watching a scary movie, or riding a rollercoaster. Some changes are major, such as marriage or divorce, serious illness, or a car accident. Other changes are extreme, such as exposure to violence, and can lead to traumatic stress reactions.

How does stress affect the body?

Not all stress is bad. All animals have a stress response, which can be life-saving in some situations. The nerve chemicals and hormones released during such stressful times, prepares the animal to face a threat or flee to safety. When you face a dangerous situation, your pulse quickens, you breathe faster, your muscles tense, your brain uses more oxygen and increases activity—all functions aimed at survival. In the short term, it can even boost the immune system.

However, with chronic stress, those same nerve chemicals that are life-saving in short bursts can suppress functions that aren't needed for immediate survival. Your immunity is lowered and your digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems stop working normally. Once the threat has passed, other body systems act to restore normal functioning. Problems occur if the stress response goes on too long, such as when the source of stress is constant, or if the response continues after the danger has subsided.

How does stress affect your overall health?

There are at least three different types of stress, all of which carry physical and mental health risks:

• Routine stress related to the pressures of work, family and other daily responsibilities.

• Stress brought about by a sudden negative change, such as losing a job, divorce, or illness.

• Traumatic stress, experienced in an event like a major accident, war, assault, or a natural disaster where one may be seriously hurt or in danger of being killed.

The body responds to each type of stress in similar ways. Different people may feel it in different ways. For example, some people experience mainly digestive symptoms, while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, depressed mood, anger and irritability. People under chronic stress are prone to more frequent and severe viral infections, such as the flu or common cold, and vaccines, such as the flu shot, are less effective for them.

Of all the types of stress, changes in health from routine stress may be hardest to notice at first. Because the source of stress tends to be more constant than in cases of acute or traumatic stress, the body gets no clear signal to return to normal functioning. Over time, continued strain on your body from routine stress may lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety disorder, and other illnesses.

How can I cope with stress?

The effects of stress tend to build up over time. Taking practical steps to maintain your health and outlook can reduce or prevent these effects. The following are some tips that may help you to cope with stress:

• Seek help from a qualified mental health care provider if you are overwhelmed, feel you cannot cope, have suicidal thoughts, or are using drugs or alcohol to cope.

• Get proper health care for existing or new health problems.

• Stay in touch with people who can provide emotional and other support. Ask for help from friends, family, and community or religious organizations to reduce stress due to work burdens or family issues, such as caring for a loved one.

• Recognize signs of your body's response to stress, such as difficulty sleeping, increased alcohol and other substance use, being easily angered, feeling depressed, and having low energy.

• Set priorities-decide what must get done and what can wait, and learn to say no to new tasks if they are putting you into overload.

• Note what you have accomplished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do.

• Avoid dwelling on problems. If you can't do this on your own, seek help from a qualified mental health professional who can guide you.

• Exercise regularly-just 30 minutes per day of gentle walking can help boost mood and reduce stress.

• Schedule regular times for healthy and relaxing activities.

• Explore stress coping programs, which may incorporate meditation, yoga, tai chi, or other gentle exercises.

If you or someone you know is overwhelmed by stress, ask for help from a health professional. If you or someone close to you is in crisis, call the toll-free, 24-hour National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255).

Pathian Uknak (Vanram) hi zoih hrangah a si?

2012-01-10T03:51:00.000-05:00

San No Thuan

Jan. 7, 2012

Thuhmaihruai

Tuihsun hi Salai Za Lian Maw (Maw Maw) ne ta bik a ruak kan thlahni le caan a si. Hi tawk ah, Maw Maw ih thuhla nan theih lomi te lo sim ka duh. Amah Maw Maw khal in, zohman sim hlah maw tiah I tiammi asinan, amah khal in I ngaithiam sehla, tuih sun a ruak kan thlah ni le caan ah lo ruah ka duh. Vei khat cu, Maw Maw in phone I rak set ih, ka u San Oo, a hnatuan a rem caang lo ih a riahsia, curuangah inn ra leeng aw la, thlacamnak in ra neih sak aw. Asinan, keimah in ka lo sim ti na sim lo pei tiah I ti. Kei khal thei lo vek in, ka va feh ih, ka va leeng ih, San Oo cu thazaang peknak le thlacamnak ka neih sak. Ka sim duhmi cu, Maw Maw hi innsang ruat zettu, a u San Oo khal ruat zettu le thlacam khal hmarngaih zettu a si timi sim ka duh. A thupte ih Pastor pawl thlacam ding ih thu a theih tertu le a sawmtu a si. Cuvek thinlung put neitu tuih sun khal ah ka lo sawm. Nan pastor pawl kha thlacam tul, vehvai a tulmi pawl kha midang ih theih lo in, simtu si hram uh.

Cun, a pahnihnak cu Maw Maw hi tangdor zet, midang ih oosa pe thei zettu le, awka hrang hmang dah lo tu a si. Awkaa neemte ih mibiak hi midang ih thinlung a nuam ter ih, mifim si a hlawh a si. Kan cawng pei uh.

Tuih sun ih ka thusim duhmi cu “vancungram hi zo pawl hrangah a si? Zo vek nunnak neitu pawl ih umnak ding a si?” timi a si.

A dunglam thuanthu

Jesuh Khrih a rak tlanleennak leiram hi Palestine ram ah a si. Culai ah biaknak a rak hruaitu pawl cun, vancungram kaitu ding pawl cu daan thlun theitu, mitha le mifel, sualnak a nei lo tu pawl an si ding tiah an zirh. Curuangah, thatnak tuah hi an zuam bikmi a rak si.

Culai ah, Jesuh cu misual an rak timi siahkhong pawl, hlawhhlang pawl thawn khal an bia aw, a ke khal hlawhhlangnu in a mitthli in a kholh sak ih, a sam in a hnul sak. Biak khal an bia aw. Cu tikah, Judah biaknak upa pawl in, Pathian fapa taktak a si ahcun, hivek misual pawl thawn a um lamlam lo ding tiah an ti.

Cutikah, Jesuh in hi tiin a sim.

Luke 5:31

Jesuh in, “A harhdammi pawl in sibawi an ṭul lo, a nami pawl lawngin an ṭul. Miding pawl ko dingah ka ra lo; misual pawl an sual sir awter dingah ka ra a si,” tiah a ti.

Pathian Ram or Vancungram timi hi an bang aw maw?

Pathian ram (The Kingdom of God) le vancungram (Tha Kingdom of Heaven) tiah kan bible ca sungah nan hmu ding. The Kingdom of Heaven, Vancungram timi tongkam cu Matthai in a hmang bik. Ziangruangah tile, anih in ca a ngan tikah, a casiartu pawl hi Juhdahmi pawl an si. Juhdahmi pawl cun, Pathian tiah an sal ngam dah lo. Pathian cu a thianghlim tuk ruangah, kan salsual pang ding tiah, Pathian ram timi ai ah, Vancungram tiah Matthai in a hmang. Cangkhat hnih sungah lawng Pathian uknak tiah a ngan ding (e.g. Matt 6:33).

Asinan Pathian uknak timi cu a dang thuthangtha ngantu pawl in an hmang. Ziangah tile, an casiartu pawl hi Gentile mi pawl an si ruangah, Gentile mi pawl cun, Pathian timi tongfang sal hi poi an ti lo. Curuangah, Pathian uknak lole, Pathian ram tiah an hmang. Curuangah, ka sim duhmi cu Pathian ram le Vancungram timi hi an bang aw. An dang aw lo.

Pathian ram maw Pathian uknak timi kan hmang deuh ding?

Ram kan tive ten, ziangtluk a kau timi ah kan thinlung a feh cih. Cumi ih a that lo nak cu, a hlan Khrihfa santhuanthu sungah, Khrihfa ram pawl in Pathian ram kau sinseh tiah midang ram pawl kha hriam le naam thawn an do ih, an laksak. An mai ruahnak ahcun, Pathian ram hrangah tiah an ruat ih mi dang ram kha a va uk. Curuangah, tulai ah Bible thiam pawl cun, Pathian ram ti hnak in, Pathian uknak timi hi an duh deuh. Ziangah tile, Pathian ih uknak timi cun, khur le ram a sawh khih lo ih, Pathian ih mi a uk daan, le a feh daan, a lamzin khi a sawh deuh sawn ruangah a si.

Pathian ih mi a uk daan, a lamzin hi ziangvek a si?

1. Pathian ih mi nauta le misual pawl hnen ih a lungput: Luke 15:11-32 ….

Fapa tlaan hlo pa ih thu a sim tikah, Pathian in a hnen ihsin a tlaan hlo tu pawl hnen ih a lungput kha fiangte in a sim. Himi thuanthu sungah, a sim duh bikmi cu Pathian cun, a hnen ihsin kan tlaan hlo tik lai khal ah, a zor thei lomi a duhdawtnak thawn in duhdawt ringring timi hi a sim duhnak a si.

2. Pathian in Jesuh hmang ih A hnatuan (A mission): Luke 5:31 ….

Midam pawl in siibawi an tul lo. Mi dam lo pawl hrangah ka ra. Mi sual hawltu dingah ka ra tiah a ti.

3. Pathian uknak cu misual pawl hrangah a si: Matt 21:31

Jesuh ih Pathian uknak thu a sim tikah, phun hnih in a sim. Pakhatnak ah, mi farah pawl le mi ih misual tiah an nautatmi pawl hnen ahcun, Pathian uknak, vancungram cu nan mai ta a si tiah a ti (Matt 21:31).

Cutikah Jesuh in, “Fiangtein ka lo sim: siahkhongtu le hlawhhlang pawl hi nan hlanah Pathian Uknak sungah an lut ding.”

Ziangah misual pawl cu vancung ram ah an lut ding tile, Pathian uknak cu felnak le thatnak tampi neih ruang ih lut ngah a si lo. Pathian ih zaangfahnak ruangih lut ngah ding a si ruangah ka thatnak in ka lut ding a titu pawl cu an luh a har zet. Asinan, misual ka si ti thei aw in, ka sinak vek in ii cohlangtu Jesuh a um ti rinsan ih a hnen a pantu hmuah cu Pathian ih zangfahnak a congahtu an si. An thinlung hna a ngam ih an taksa khal a dam. Vanram, Pathian uknak ih thawt zia an nun in an tep ngah.

A pahnihnak ahcun, midang pawl kha an soisel, an nautat ih, duhdawtnak lamzin zawh lo in, mi soiselnak lamzin an zawh ringring. Cupawl cu Jesuh in nan sir awk lo ahcun, Pathian uknak vanram nun nan tep thei lo ding tiah a sim (Luke 13:1-5).

Zumtu pawl kan sual pang tikah, ziang kan tuah ding?

Depression, thinnaunak natnak hi khui in a ra? A ratnak phun tampi a um ding. Tampi lak ah, pakhatnak cu sualnak hi a si. Zumtu pawl in sualnak kan tuah tikah, kan lung sung ih a hung suak theumi cu, “Pathian thawn kan hlat aw zo, Pathian in nun I sim ding. Thil ka tuahmi khal ka hlawh tling nawn lo ding” tiah kan thin nuam lo in kan um theu. Cutikah, ralhrut in kan um. Ralhrut mi lungput cun, hmailam ih kan ruahsannak khal a thih ter. Ruahsannak ka nei nawn lo tiah kan ruah cun, nun khal kan paih nawn lo ih, thinnaunatnak (depression) a ra suak.

Cuvek ih thinnau natnak kan neih lo nak dingah, Pathian in ziang in ti? Ka fa ra kir sal aw. Na sinak fek in, ka lo hmuak ringring tiah Fapa tlaan hlo pa ih thu in in sim zo. Cuih tlun ah 1 John 1:9 sungah, sual ngaithiam kan dil ahcun, kan sualnak in thian ter theh ding tiah in sim.

Cuih tlunah, zumtu cu Pathian hnen ih kan kir sal tikah, Pathian in ka duhdawt bikmi na si tiah in ti ih, in cohlang ringring a si. Bawipaih hnen ih a kir tu pawl cu, 2 Cor 5:17 sungah, Pathian in sualnak a nei dah lomi bang in, nun thar thawn kan nunnak in thawh ter sal a si tiah in sim.

Thunetnak:

1. Pathian uknak lole, Vancungram cu misual nang le kei hrangah Pathian ih a retmi a si. Pathian in ka sinak vek in I duhdawt ih I cohlang tiah a theitu pawl hrangah Pathian in a retmi a si.

2. Kan sual pang tikah, Pathian hnen ah kir in, sual ngaithiam dil lohli uh si. Cu ti ih, kan kir ahcun, Pathian in kan sualnak in ngaithiam ding ih, ral thatnak thawn hmai ah nor ngamnak in pe ding a si.

Curuangah a pa ih hnen kir dingin a pok. Lam hlatpi ih a rat rero lai kha inn ihsin a pa in a hei hmu. A zaangfah ngaingai ih va tlan tahratin a fapa cu a kuah ih a hnam.

A tlangpi thu in, Pathian thu thawn peh aw in, zumtu pawl ih kan pom daan le Jesuh ih a pom daan phun hnih in rel ka duh. A pakhatnak ah, Zumtu tampi ih Pathian kan pom daan a si. Zumtu tampi cun, Pathian hnen ihsin kan tlaan tikah, Pathian in in tlaansan ih a hrem. Sualnak pakhat te kan tuah ve tein, hell ram ah ka thih le ka feh ding tiah kan ti. Kan mah te kan tthih aw ciamco.

A pahnihnak cu Jesuh ih in zirhmi Pathian a si. Pathian hnen in kan tlaan tikah, a cem thei lomi duhdawtnak thawn in duhdawttu, le kan sinak vek ih in cohlangtu a si tiah Luke 15:20ff sungah in sim. “Curuangah a pa ih hnen kir dingin a pok. Lam hlatpi ih a rat rero lai kha inn ihsin a pa in a hei hmu. A zaangfah ngaingai ih va tlan tahratin a fapa cu a kuah ih a hnam.”

Asinan, ziangruangah si pei, a cem thei lomi duhdawtnak thawn, in duhdawt ih kan sualnak in ngaithiam ringring?

Thlarau Thihnak in luat dingah, lole rundammi, sual ngaithiammi si dingah ziang a tul?

Pathian fanu le fapa kan si ih, sual bawmrit sung ihsin rundammi kan si theinak dingah, kan sualnak pawl hmuahhmuah ngaithiammi si kan tul. Minung le Pathian ih midang sual kan ngaithiam daan a dang aw.

1. Minung cun, midang ih sual kan ngaithiam tum tikah:

o Precondition: a thinlung a thlengta lo ahcun, sual ngaithiam I dil ta lo ahcun, cumi khami ih I ra leem lo ahcun, tiah khat lam ih thil tha an tuahmi kan hngak ta. Condition kan ret sak ta.

2. Pathian ih sual ngaithiam daan

o No precondition: cumi na si ta lo cun, na fel ta lo cun, na that ta lo cun tiah in ti hmaisa lo.

o A sual ngaithiamnak cu a duhdawtnak le zaangfahnak tumtukmi in in ngaithiammi a si. Cui a duhdawtnak cun, a fapa Jesuh Khrih in pek. Jesuh Khrih khal in in duhdawt tuk ruangah, kan hrang a thi.

o Jn 19:30 sungah, Jesuh ih kan sual leiba pawl hmuahhmuah pawl pek ding hnatuan, “Ka theh zo” tiah a sim.

o 1 John 1:7 sungah, “A thisen in na sualnak pawl a kholhfai theh zo”

o Col 2:13,14 sungah, “Nan sualnak cazin pawl cross par ah a siat bal theh zo” tiah a sim.

Jesuh Khrih kan ai ih a thihnak in a thlen termi cu, Pathian ih ngaithiam le sual thlahnak a si. Rom 4:5 sungah, “Pathian in an sualnak a ngaithiammi le a siar sak nawn lomi pawl cu mi lungawi an si” a ti. Pathian in Khrih ruangah, kan sual in ngaithiam ih, kan sualnak in siar sak nawn lo.

Khrih sual ngaithiam kan si theinak dingah a tulmi hnatuan pawl hmuahhmuah cu Pathian in a tuan theh zo. In tuah sak theh zo. Na thatnak ih bet a tul nawn lo.

Vei khat cu tlangval pakhat pastor pa hnen ah a ra ih, “Pastor pa, rundamnak ngahnak dingah kei ziang ka tuah ding?” tiah a ra sut. Pastor pa cun, “A tlai tuk zo. Sorry” tiah a rak ti. “Si lo, ka hrangah chance a um nawn lo ngaingai maw” tiah a sut thotho tikah, “Rundamnak ngahnak ding hrangah na tlai tuk zo” a ti thiamthiam. Cui tlangval pa cu a bei dong. Cui pastor pa cun, ka sim duhmi a fiang thei lo si hi ti a theih tikah, “Na tlai tuk zo ka lo tinak cu, Jesuh in, a zate in na hrangah a tuah theh zo” tiah a ti. “Nangih tuah dingmi a um nawn lo. Ring mei aw” tiah a ti.

Bible in Khrih ih in tuah sakmi a zumtu pawl hnenah hitin thu in kam:

Cu a si le, minung ih kan tuah dingmi ziang a taang. Khrih ruangah, sual ngaithiam ka si zo timi thuthangtha kha “rin mei ding” “zum mei ding.” Cumi thuthangtha a zumtu pawl ih hnen ah Pathian ziang a pe? Kum khua nunnak le thlarau thianghlim a pek.

· Jn 3:36 …. Mi fapa a zumtu cu kum khua nunnak an nei zo.

· Jn 5:24 … “Ka simmi a thei ih a zumtu cu kumkhua nunnak an nei”

· 1 Jn 5:13 … “Fapa a zumtu in kumkhua nunnak kan nei ti nan theihnak dingah, hi cakuat hi nan hnen ah ka ngan a si”

· Eph 1:13-14 … Pathian amah ta nan sinak hminsinnak ah Thlarau Thianghlim in pek.

Mihrek in, thuthangtha zumtu a ti lo pi, fapa a zumtu pawl si kumkhua nunnak an ngah tiah a ti an ti. Jesuh in simmi le tuah sakmi a zumtu cu Khrih zumtu an si. In simmi le in tuah sakmi kan zum lo ahcun, Khrih kan zum lo, kan ring lo tinak khal a si.

“Piangthar” (born again) le “zumnak (faith)”

John 3:1 nak kan zoh tikah, Jesuh in Nikodemas kha vancung uknak sungah lut thei dingah cun, “na pian thar” a tul. Hrinsalmi si na tul tiah a ti. “Piangthar” “Hringsal” timi tongkam kha Jesuh in a hman tikah, Bible thiam zet, Nikodemas in a fiang thei lo. Ziangtin saw, upa pi si hnu ah ka nuih pum sungah ka luh sal thei ding tiah a ti. Cutikah, Jesuh in a fiang theinak dingah “piangthar” timi tong hmang nawn lo in, “zum” timi tongfang hmang in a simfiang.

John 3:14 nak in kan zoh tikah, Moses in ramcar lak ah dar rul zuk a tar bang in, mi fapa khal tar a si leh ding. Amah a zumtu pawl cu thi lo in, kumkhua nunnak an nei ding tiah a ti (John 3:16). Cuih hnu lawngah, Nikodemas in, vancung uknak, Pathian uknak timi cu, fapa Jesuh zumnak/rinnak in a si timi a thei fiang.

Curuangah, piangthar timi cu zo pawl an si? Piangthar timi pawl cu, kei cu Jesuh in I duhdawt tuk ruangah, a nunnak liam in ka sualnak hrangah a thi. Curuangah, kei cu Pathian ih sual ngaithiammi ka si timi thuthangtha a thei ih, a zumtu pawl cu mi piangthar pawl cu an si. Na piangthar zo maw ti hnak in, na zum zo maw ti ih suh awk sawn dingmi a si. Na zum ahcun, kumkhua nunnak sungah na lut ve ding.

Satan ih zumnak le minung pawl ih zumnak

Zum timi khal ah, Satan khal in Pathian cu a zum tuk. A zum tuknak ah a khur in a khur. Asinan, a nih cu kumkhua nunnak a nei thei lo. Asile, zumnak/rinnak in kumkhua nunnak kan co thei ngaingai ding maw tiah thusuhnak a um thei. Jesuh ih thihnak tuar in a tlenmi misual pawl le an sualnak pawl lak ah Satan pawl ih sualnak a tel lo. Curuangah, Satan le a dugnthluntu pawl in Jesuh ih thihnak cu ka/kan hrangah tiah an ti thei lo.

Asinan, nang le kei hrangah Jesuh a thi ih, kan sualnak khal in kholhfai sak zo. Curuangah, Khrih ih thihnak in sual ngaidam ka si zo tiah kan ti thei. Ka hrangah Jesuh a thi tiah Satan le a party pawl in an ti thei lo lai ah, nang le kei cun, kan ti thei! Curuangah, thisen thangthat hla cu vanmi pawl khal in an sak thei lo ziangah tile, an hrangah a tel lo. A sersiam ih a duhdawt zetmi minung pawl hrang lawngah a si.

Cui kan rundamnak cu a hlo thei maw?

John 10:27-28 …. Ka kut sung ih ka kilhimmi cu zohman in in long thei lo ding.

Sualnak cun, Pathian fa kan sinak kha a siatsuah thei lo. Pa le fa kan sinak kha a siat thei lo. Asinan, Pathian thawn kan pawlkom awknak kha a siatsuah thei. Pathian ih duhnak fam kim ter dingah, a nun termi kan si tihi thei ringring uh si. Pathian ih duhmi famkim ter lo in, kan maih duhmi maw, midang ih duhmi maw kan tuah sawn tikah, thlarau thianghlim a riah a sia. Kan sung ih Thlarau thianghlim a riah a siat tikah, kannih khal kan riah a sia ve.

Pathian ih rundamnak cu kan thlarau hrang lawngah a si lo. Kan thinlung, taksa le thlarau a zate hrangah a si. Sualnak kan tuah tikah, kan thlarau cu vanram kan sung lo ding nan, kan taksa cu vanram nunnak a tep ngah lo ding. Tong dang in, kan taksa cu Pathian ih thluasuah a dong ngah lo ding.

Asile, kan sual pang tikah ziang kan tuah ding? Cui kan pawlkom awknak cu sual ngaithiam dilnak le sualsirnak in kan pawlkom awknak a tha sal thei.

o 1 John 1:9 … sual ngaithiam kan dil ahcun, kan sualnak in thian ter theh ding.

o 2 Cor 5:17 …. Khrih sung ih a um tu pawl cu, a hlun hmuahhmuah a hlo theh ih, nun thar in nun thawk sal theinak a pek a si.

Ziangruangah cu tluk in kan sual nan Pathian in kan sualnak in ngaithiam?

A tlun lam ah ziangti in Pathian fa kan si thei ding ti kan rel theh zo. Pathian in Khrih ruangah, kan sualnak in ngaithiam zia thuthangtha kan theih ih kan zum ding lawng hi a si. Cumi thuthangtha a zumtu pawl cu Pathian in a fa si theinak in pek (Gal. 3:26). Cui a faale pawl cu, kumkhua nunnak neitu (John 5:34) le nitin lam in hruaitu dingah, Thlarau Thianghlim pek kan si zo (Efe. 1:13,14).

Pathian ih sual ngaithiammi (thiamco termi) ka si ti thei awk ih zum cu, Pathian ih fanu le fapa ih cannak a si. Asinan, cumi hi ngaithiammi si hi a thupi bik maw? A thupi tuk ko nan, Pathian ih in rundam duhsannak thu zoh tikah, “thiamco ternak” hi a thupi bik a si lo. Ziangruangah? Nu le pa in faate nan neih tikah, nan lungawi ngaingai. Asinan, faate nan neih hnu ah a tawk zo tiah nan taansan dah maw? Taansan lamlam hlah ee. Hung tthangso in, rinsan tlak fanu, fapa ah hung cang seh ti si lo maw nan ruahsan ih nan cawm.

Cuvek thiamthiam, ziangruangah kan sualnak tam zet cing in, Pathian in kan sualnak in ngaithiam ih, a fanu le fapa ah kan sinak bang tuk ih in cohlang? A sunlawinak langh tertu si ter in duh ruangah a si. Rom. 11:36 sungah kan zoh asile, Pathian in kan sualnak in ngaithiamnak cu “… Amai sunlawinak langh tertu dingah” a si tiah in sim.

Pathian ih sunlawinak timi cu, Pathian ih ziaza, lungput, le a lamzin (God’s way) pawl hi an si. Cumi cu minung in kan hmuh dah lo ruangah, kan hmuh thei ding in, a fapa Jesuh Khrih hmang in a rung phuang lang aw. Curuangah, Jesuh ih nun daan le feh daan khi Pathian in sunlawinak pawl cu an si. Ka sim duhmi cu, Pathian in kan sualnak in ngaithiamnak cu a fapa le fanu ih kan can ding lawng hi a si lo. Amai sunlawinak langh tertu, a hmuihmel langh tertu kan si ding a duh ruangah a si.

Ziangtin Pathian kan sunlawi ter thei ding? A fapa Jesuh thawn a bangmi nunnak ah kan nunnak hi a tthanso deuhdueh tikah, Pathian a sunglawi sinsin ding (Rom 8:29). Zumtu tampi in Pathian ih thluasuah coding tluk ih kan co lonak hi ziangruangah a si tile, Pathian in kan sualnak I ngaithiam zo tiah timi lawngah kan taang ih, Jesuh ih nun daan ih nung dingah kekar kan tum nawn lo. Tong dang cun, a thinglamtah (cross) lawnglawng kan uar ih, sualnak neh ih a thawhsalnak (resurrection) ah nun thar ih nun le tthanso kan tum nawn lo.

God’s precious Christmas gift for you

2011-12-25T01:41:00.003-05:00

by San No Thuan

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family members!

The reason of celebrating of Christmas is that our God is searching for us where we are. In other religions, humans are searching for their gods. On Christmas day, God gave you His precious Christmas gift that is his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Many people just accept this precious gift but never know its loveliness and preciousness because they never open it. If you open God’s precious gift, you will find his unceasing love, forgiveness, and presence with you.

How do you open it? You can open this gift by believing that He accepts you as you are, forgives you all your sins as the Father accepts his run away son (Luke 15:11-32), and never gives up to employ you as His ambassador here on earth as He did to Jonah.

The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time, saying,

“Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you”

(Jonah 3:1,2).

How about you? On this Christmas day, what gift will you give to Jesus? One day, I visited my relative home and I saw a very interesting home poster saying, “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift to God.” The best gift that God wants from you is none other than yourself: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matt. 22:37).

Many people say, “if I become a successful businessman, educator, and etc., I will do great thing for my Lord.” If you say so, the Lord will say, “No, no!” as he said to his disciples.

Another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:61, 62).

What the Lord wants you to give him a Christmas gift is to make of yourself now for him. In other words, He wants to you to commit your life to Him. He would like to employ your body, your heart and all your life to be representative not only in the future but also RIGHT NOW and RIGHT HERE. That is your destination and the purpose of your life. Colossians 1:16 “. . . all things have been created through him and for him.” God does not want you to represent him only in front of others but also when you are alone.

Accept God’s precious gift by believing Jesus as your Savior and Lord. As a savior, he forgives all your sins, and accepts you as you are. He is here with you wherever you are. He wants you to begin a new life as if you had never committed any sin (2 Corinthians 5:17). Will you accept this savior as your Lord? If so, be his representative wherever you are as you were created in his image (Gen 1:26, Rom 8:29).

Falam Baibal Thianghlim hi Rinsan a tlak ngaingai maw?

2011-12-22T12:56:00.002-05:00

A ngantu: Rev. Dr. Stephen Hre Kio

Kan Falam Baibal Thianghlim a suah kum cu 1992 ah a si. Kum 1974, January 1, ihsin Falam ah a leh kan thok nain 1985 lawngah (USA ah) kan theh. Falam ah Komiti pawl in an cek ih an theh. A cektu Komiti hi minung 20 hrawng an si. United Bible Societies Translation Consultant tla in an cek thluh. Cuih hnuah computer ah kan khum, checking voihnih thum kan tuah ih FBA Civuipi, Lumte khua ah, February 16, 1992, Bawipa Ni sun ah Pathian hnenah minung 5000 in kan ap. Uk thawnghra kan nam nain in daih lo. Cuih hnuah voi ngaruk kan nam sal zo ih a zatein uk thawng sawmli (40,000) lenglo Falam Christian kut sungah a thleng. Kan Kawhhran cawmtu ah Pathian in a hmang. Kan Pathian a hmin kan thang\.that. Amerika (USA) khal ah kan hman zetmi Baibal Thianghlim a si.

Kan nam hnu kum kul sungah hin kan Baibal Thianghlim hi a lawmtu an tam vekin a lawmlotu khal an um ve. Cule a \.thatnak rel hnakin a tlaksamnak a reltu le a ngan duhtu khal an um ve thotho. Kan dung kum hleinga hrawng a si zo ding, kan Baibal Thianghlim hi tlaksamnak a nei, tiah nasa zetin ca a ngantu an um. “Soisel a si lo, faksel a si,” an ti. Grik ah cutin a um; Rev. Thang Hup in cutiin a let; Rev. Hre Kio cun cutin a let ih tlaksamnak a nei, (a ti dik lo, hrelh mi a tam) ti duhnak thawn tamzet an ngan. Cuih thu thawn pehpar in cahram pakhat ka nganmi a um. An soiselnak cu kan let. A siartu cun nan thei ding.

Cuih hnuah Falam Baibal Thianghlim ah hrelhmi a um, tiah nganmi a um lala. Cumi khal cu \.tha seh, tiih bom duhnak le rem duhnak thinlung thawn si loin a tlasam a si, ti langternak ah a si ih kan Kawhhran hrekkhat cu an thin a nuam lo zet. Curuangah cahram malte ka ngan ih siar dingin kan zem. Hrelhmi a um an timi hi a dik maw? timi thu ka ngan ih cuih hnu cun a dai deuh. Kawhhran thinnom lonak khal cu a reh sal.

Cule tubaite (Noveberm 26, 2011) ah Dr. Timothy Sui Lian Mang in BIBLE DANDANG KHAIKHINNAK timi a ngan; tamzet a ngan ih Internet ah a thlah. (A siartu tampi nan um ding ka zum.)

A sim a rel duh bikmi cu: Mi dangdang ih Baibal an lehmi sungah a “Um Lo” mi tampi a um. Falam Baibal Thianghlim sungah khal a “Um lo” tampi a um ih a zateih siar tikah “Um lo” lawnglawng hi 300 hrawng a si. “Um Lo” a timi a tam bik cu Falam Baibal, Hakha - Lai Baibal Thiang, le Mizo Baibal “Pathian Lehkhabu Thianghlim” hi an si.

Cule Pathian hmin (God, Jesus) timi a um lo, a tinak khal a tam thotho.

A hlan ih an nganmi siseh, tubaite ih nganmi siseh, kap khat lawngin an zoh ruangah a si, tin ka ruat.

BAIBAL DANGDANG KHAIKHINNAK tiah Dr. Sui Lian Mang ih a nganmi khal hi ka siar tikah a tlunih ka simmi “a tlaksamnak langter duhnak” a si, tin ka ruat. Mi dang ih an lehmi (Falam, Hakha, Mizo le Saya Thang Hup ih lehmi) Baibal hi an let thiam lo, an let sual, a tinak a si lo; an lehmi Baibal hi an sirhsanmi Mirang Baibal, a kim lomi, asilole, Grik Baibal a dang-awk ruangah Baibal dangdang, bang-awlo, a suahnak hi a si, a ti. Cule amah Dr. Sui Lian Mang ih a sirhsanmi Baibal hi Mirang Baibal King James Version a si ih “rinsan tlak bik a si” a ti. Cule hih Mirang Baibal King James Version hi an leh laiah Grik Baibal Textus Receptus sirhsan ih an lehmi a si ruangah cuih Grik Baibal Textus Receptus tla cu Grik Baibal hmuahhmuah lakah “rinsan tlak bik a si,” a ti. Cumi a thlun ruangah a Baibal lehmi Thuthlung Thar ahcun “um lo” a nei lo; a um thluh, a kim thluh tiin a langter. Cumi cu mangbang ding a si lo; a thlunmi Baibal vekin a um, a kim, a tul a sisi! (A kim lo le a palh a si sawn ding.) Hitawk ih ka langter duhmi cu: Dr. Sui Lian Mang ih a thlunmi Mirang Baibal King James Version hi (midang ih an thlun a si khalle), rinsan tlak bik a si lo, tile Grik Baibal a thlun mi Textus Receptus khal hi rinsan tlak bik a si thotho lo, (a kim lomi a um ih beetmi tla a um) tihi ka langter duhmi a si. Zozo ih Baibal an leh khalle hiti in ka nganmi hi a dik thei ringring dingmi a si.

A. King James Version

Dr. Sui Lian Mang in KJV (King James Version) le Textus Receptus hi “rinsan tlak bik a si” a timi hi mangbangza a si. Ziangahtile Mirang Baibal dangdang liangluang, le Grik Baibal dangdang liangluang, lakah himi pahnih hi “rinsan tlak bik a si” timi cu thil pahnih ruangah a si ding, tiah ka ruat: (1) A theih lo ruangah maw? (2) “Fundamentalist” lungput a neih ruangah maw? tihi a si. A theih lo ruangah cun a si lo ding, ziangahtile Baibal thuhla tawkfang a zingzoi (a leh-la) ve ruangah. “Fundamentalist” lungput (zumnak) a pom ruangah a si thei, tin ka ruat. Ziangahtile “Fundamentalist” hrek khat lungput cu, “KJV siar lo, Baibal dang siar ding a si lo, KJV lawng hi a dikmi, Pathian thawtkhum mi a si” an ti ruangah cumi lam deuh hoi in a simmi a si ding, tin ka ruat. Hiti ka zummi hi ka palh a si thei; Dr. Sui Lian Mang hi ka tong dah lo hmang ka ti; kan tong-aw zo khalle Baibal thuhla cu kan rel tlang dah lo, tiin ka ruat. Fundamentalist lungput deuh ih a simmi a si lo ahcun zumnak (pommi, dinhmun) dang a um thei dingmi ka hmu thei lo.

Kum 1981 hrawngah USA ah “Falam Baibal ka let” tiin Khristian hotu pakhat hnen ih ka ti tikah, “King James Version sirhsan in na let maw?” tiah i sut. “Let hlah!” ka ti. “KJV na let lo le cu Baibal let ding na si lo; KJV lawnglawng Pathian thawtkhummi a si” tiah in ti dah. Cumi kha ka ciing ringring. Fundamentalist hrekkhat lungput cu anmah pommi le hmuhmi ih tlun ah midang hmuhmi cu an pom lo lawng a si lo; Satan ta tluk ah an ruat. Keimah hrimhrim in Guam kan Biakinn ih an simmi ka thei: “TEV hi Satan ih forhfialnak in lehmi a si” tiah pastor pakhat in a ti dah.TEV Baibal khal hi Baibal dangdang bangtukin Pathian thluasuahmi a si ve, tihi an ruat dah lo hmang ka ti. An lungput hi phundang deuh a si. 1952 hrawng ih an nammi Revised Standard Version (RSV) Mirang Baibal hi Fundamentalist pawl cun Satan lehmi an ti; a lettu hrekkhat pawl hi Kommunists an si, an ti ih USA North Carolina ah Biakinn/Pastor pakhat in RSV Baibal cu meisa in an ur. Cule a lettu hrekkhat kha Kommunists an si, an timi thubuai kha Amerika Congress US Hlutdaw tiang a thleng ih Hlutdaw in felfai zetih an zingzoi hnuah RSV Baibal lettu pawl hi “Kommunists an si” timi hi a dik lo; thulolak a si, an ti. (It was rebutted as “venomous nonsense” in the House of Representatives in Washington). Cumi cu 1960 kum ah a si. Cuti ih lungput le nun cu Khristian lungput le nun ah Fundamentalist hrekkhat pawl cun an ruat. Pathian ih fialmi tluk ah an ruat. Khristian dang thawn kan hmuh daan a dang-aw tinak a si.

Ziangah KJV cu rinsan tlak bik a si lo, ka ti, ti cu a thuai ah ka ngan ding.

King James Version hi a tawizawng in KJV kan ti. England Siangpahrang James an timi hmin suangin King James Baibal timi a si. Amah Siangpahrang James ih lehmi a si ruangah a si lo. Amah in let ding le Biakinn kip ih siar dingin thu a pek, tiah ruahmi a si ruangah a si. Asinain Siangpahrang James in let dingah (rem dingah) a tawlrel; asinain Biakinn ih siar dingah thu a peknak tetti (documents) khui hman ah a um lo. Cuvek tetti a um, tiih an zumnak menmen a si. Tetti a um lo khalle a dik vekah an ruat tata! Cumi cu milai daan a si ko; culai khalah a si; tuisan khal ah a si ko. Mangbang ding a si lo.

Cule KJV let dingih Siangpahrang James ih a tawlrel tikah, let ding ti hman a si lo; rem ding (revise tuah ding) ti a si. Ziangahtile Baibal dangdang a um tampi zo. Miles Coverdale Baibal timi 1535 ah a suak; Matthew’s Baibal timi 1537 ah an nam; Geneva Baibal tla 1560 ah an suah (himi hi verses – cacaang thawn an suah hmaisa bikmi a si; himi hi Scotland mi le England mi in an lehmi a si ih mipi in an duh zet); cule Bishop Baibal tla 1568 ah a suak. Hitin Baibal a um tam zo ruangah rem sisehla a hnok hnuaihni mi hi reh seh, ti duhnak a si. Cuti cun Baibal rem ding cu 1604 ah an tawlrel thok.

C. Ziangtinso Textus Receptus timi hmin a rat? Zo in so a pek?

Zohman in hmin an sak lo; zohman in an pek lo. Cabu “kyaw-ngia” (commercial tuah) nak ihsin a rami a si. A tawizawng in sim sehla: Erasmas in Grik Baibal 1516 ih a suah tikah Textus Receptus tiah hmin a pek lo; cuih cabu cu min a nei hrih lo; Pakhatnak Grik Thukam Thar (First New Testament Grik Text) ti a si. Cuih hnuah malte an rem ih cuih Grik cabu cu an suah sal: Kum 1519, 1522, 1527, le 1535 ah an suah sal.

Erasmus ih tuah mi Grik Thukam Thar cabu cu Paris khua ih cabu suahtu Robert Estiene (Latin ih ngan tikah a hmin cu Stephanus a si) le a fapa Henri in 1546 ah an suah ih maltete rem in 1549, 1550 le 1551 ah an suah. Eistienne cun a suahmi Grik Thukam Thar cabu cu caang khat, caang hnih, tiah Baibal caang (Bible verses) a pek ih tuisun tiangin kan hmangtami hi a si. Geneva khua ih a ummi Theodore Beza in Stephanus ih a voilinak ih a suahmi Grik Thukam Thar (Erasmus ih suahmi le malte remmi) cu a suah ve: Kum 1565 le 1611 ah voihnih a suah. Cule Netherlands ram, Leyden khua ah Elzevir unau pahnih –Bonaventure le Abraham – in Theodore Beza ih suahmi Grik Thukam Thar cu kum 1624 ah an suah ve.

Cule hi unaut pahnih (Bonaventure le Abraham) cu “kyaw-ngia” lamah an fim, an ti thei zet. Mi hnenih Thutheihter (commercial tuah) an thiam. Netherlands cu ram fate a si ih mi tampi in siar haiseh ti duhnak thawn 1633 ih an Grik Thukam Thar an nam zawngah an “kyaw-ngia” cu hitin an ngan: Latin tongin an ngan ih Mirang tong cun, “The text, therefore, you now have is accepted by all, in which we give nothing changed or corrupt” an ti. Lai tong cun: “Curuangah atu ih nan neihmi cabu hi mi hmuahhmuah pommi a si, zianghman thlengmi le beetmi-hlonmi kan nei lo” an ti. Cuti ih Mi hmuahhmuah pommi timi cu Latin tong cun Textus Receptus ti a si. Cumi cu tuisun tiangin a taangta. A ngaingai ti ahcun beetmi le hlonmi a tamzet mi cabu a si. An beet an hlonmi thu hnakin, an “kyaw-ngia” mi kha mi in an sim an rel tam sawn. Cuih “kyaw-ngia” cu Fundamentalist pawl cun Grik Baibal dang hnakin Textus Receptus hi an rel tam sawn a si.

Cule ruah tlakzet pakhat cu: Erasmus in 1516 ih a suahmi Grik Thukam Thar le Bonaventure le Abraham in 1633 ih an suahmi Textus Receptus timi hi an bang-aw lo. A malbik ah hmun 287 ah an dang-aw, an ti. Cumi hman ah beetmi-hlonmi a um zo, tinak a si. Hitin Textus Receptus tiih kawh hi Khristian tampi cun tuihsun tiangin “Mi hmuahhmiuah ih pommi” a si ngaingai tiah Textus Receptus cu an ruat. An theih lo ruangah a si, ti ding a si. Hitiin Textus Receptus ti ih hmin pekmi le kawhmi hi Kawhhran ih pekmi a si lo; Kawhhran hotu pawl ih relcatmi khal a si lo. Cule Church Council ih relcatmi khal a si lo. Cabu zuar duh ah “kyaw-ngia” nak ihsin a ra suakmi a si. Tuih san ahcun Baibal lam thungaithlak ih a zingzoi ngaingaitu lakah hi Textus Receptus a pomtu cu mi malte deuh ngaingai an si. Asinain a au-thei zettu an si theu.

Pathian in ziang tuah dingah leilung tlun ah in nun ter hrih a si pei?

2011-12-08T18:00:00.002-05:00

San No Thuan

Jawti nu bang in, zokhal kan nunnak a cem thei. Thihnak timi in mi upa le nauta a thlei dang lo. Hivek ih mithi mi an um lai ah, ziangruangah Pathian in kan nunnak thaw a zuah ih, in nun ter a si pei?

1. Pathian in Amah aiawh in, a hmuihmel langh tertu dingah a laangte sung leilung parah in nun termi a si.

Gen 1:26

26Cun Pathian in, “Milai tuah thlang uhsi; kanmah ih hmuihmel kengin kanmah bangin kan tuah pei. Ti sung um nga le vanih a zammi vate tlunah siseh, innzuat sumhnam le hramlak ramsa a tum a seen parah siseh, bokvak ih a caang theimi tlun khalah siseh, thu an nei pei,” ti ah a ti.

Minung hi zo kan si?

Minung cu Pathian hmuihmel keng ih sersiammi kan si tiah a ti. Pathian ih hmuihmel hi ziangvek a si pei? Pathian ih hmuihmel timi hi a phunphun in an sim. Mihrek in, kan thuruah theinak hi a si tiah an ti. Mihrek in thlarau neimi kan sinak hi a si tiah an ti. Asinan, bible thiam pawl in an zingzoi rero tikah, tulai a tam bik ih an lungkimmi pakhat a um. Cumi cu Pathian hmuihmel timi cu Pathian ih palai tinak a si tiah an lungkim tam bik. Ziangah tile, Israel thawn nai zetmi ram pawl khal in Pathian hmuihmel timi hi an Siangpahrang pawl hnen ah an sim. “Siangpahrang pawl cu, Pathian ih hmuihmel kengtu an si” tiah a ti. An sim duhmi cu, Siangpahrang pawl cu Pathian ih a phuanlang awknak lole, a palai pawl an si tinak a si. Asinan, kan Bible ca sung ahcun, Siangpahrang pawl lawng si lo in, minung hmuahhmuah hi Pathian ih hmuihmel keng, a palai kan si tiah a ngan.

Asinan, minug in Pathian ih kut le ke, a palai si lo in, Pathian kan tlaansan ih, Satan ih palai ah kan cang theu. A nungmi Pathian tlaansan ih kan um tikah, kan ton dingmi taksa le thlarau thihnak a si. Curuangah, Jesuh Khrih kha a run thlah ih, Jesuh in kan sual man cawhkuan pawl hmuahhmuah kha amah in thinglamtah parah in tuar sak theh. Cuti in, Jesuh in a nunnak liam in Pathian ih sual ngaithiamnak kha kan parah a thlen ter. Pathian ih sual ngaithiammi ka si ti thuthangtha a thei ih, a zumtu pawl cu nun thar ih thawh theinak in pek (2 Cor 7:14). Cuih tlun ah kan thih khal a si le, an nung ding (John 11:15) tiah thu in kam. Ziangah tile, Fapa Jesuh a zumtu pawl cu kumkhua nunnak nan nei zo (1 John 5:13) sungah in ti. Curuangah zumtu pawl kan thih tikah, ruahsan ding nei lo mi bangtuk in um hlah uh tiah thu in kam (1 Thess 4:13).

Kan nun dam lai a si ahcun, Curuangah, minung cu Jesuh Khrih, kan Pathian ih hmuihmel lang tertu a palai kan si. We are God’s representatives who should care the world according to the will of God. Jesuh in, Pathian hmuihmel/palai cu hivek a si tiah fiangte in a run lang ter. Curuangah, Paul in Khrih ih nun daan kha la uhla, hnipuan bang in hru uh tiah in tinak a si.

2. Tuisun Jawti Nu ih neta bik thlahnak le upat peknak ah, Jawti Nu in ziangtin Pathian ih hmuihmel le ziaza pawl ziangtin a langh ter?

a. Midang a duhdawtu a si (A woman of love).

Hihi Jesuh ih nun cu a si. “Ka pa, ziang kan tuah ti an thei lo. An sualnak ngaithiam hram aw.” (Luke 23:34).

A ziaza: Jawti nu hi midang ih thusia rel dah lo tu a si. Mi in midang pakhat par ih an thinnatnak thu an sim tik khal ah, “An hrangah thlacamnak thawn kan bawm sawn pei uh” tiah tha a pe theutu a si. Mithmai pan te le tangdornak thawn midang pawlkomtu khal a si. Um men ti a nei dah lo ih, hnatuan lam khal ah taima zettu a si fawn. Pathian duh zettu a si ih, thlacam nun nei zettu khal a si.

b. Thlacam nun nei zettu a si (A woman of prayer).

Jesuh khal cu zingpit te in a tho ih, thla a cam ringring ti kan hmu (Mark 1:35).

A faale kilkhawi daan: A pasal ih taansan hnu khal ah, nu can pa can tuanvo la in a faale pawl Pathian thu thawn a kaihruai. Zaan a hnaṭuan theh hnu khal ah a fale pawl thlacamnak neih pi thei ringringtu a si. Zarhpi zing a kim tikah, zingpit in a tho ih amah lawng thla a cam hnu ah, a faale pakhat hnu pakhat a ko ih, an luu parah kut suang in, Pathian thluasuah a dil sak. Cun, zarhpi zingah Pathian hla lawng a faa le pawl ngai ter a duhtu a si.

“Pathian hmaika ah nan khuk nan bil ahcun, minung hmaika ah khukbil ṭul lomi dinhmun ah nan ding thei ding.”

c. Tumtahnak nei zettu a si (A woman of intention or purpose).

Luke 2:52

52Jesuh cu taksa in siseh, fimnak in siseh a ṭhang vivo ih Pathian hmai le minung hmaiah mithmai ṭha a ngah.

A thucami pawl:

a. “Ka faale pawl, taksa lam lawng ih nan ṭhanso ding hi ka duh lo. Thlarau lam khal ah nan ṭhanso ih, Pathian ṭihzah in le Pathian ih duhmi kha a hmaisabik ah re in nan ṭhanso ding ka duh.”

b. “Nan unau za, pakhat le khat duhdaw aw zet in nan um ringring pei.”

c. “Atu ih kan dinhmun hi Pathian ruangah a si ti hngilh hlah uh. A thluasuah siar ringring uhla, lungawi thu sim thiamtu si ringring uh.”

3. Pathian ih palai pawl khui khal ah Pathian in a lak in a re men dah lo.

a. Pathian in ziangkim a sersiam tikah, ziangkim hi a um lo mi in leile van a sersiam. A um lomi pawl um tertu le, nan tulmi pawl a um ter theh ding (1 San 29:8-14). Tumnak le cahnak cu Bawipaih ta a si.

b. Joshua 1:8-9, Matt 6:28ff

c. Psa. 91:14 ¶ Those who love me, I will deliver;

I will protect those who know my name.

Psa. 91:15 When they call to me, I will answer them;

I will be with them in trouble,

I will rescue them and honor them.

Psa. 91:16 With long life I will satisfy them,

and show them my salvation.

4. Zumtu ih thihnak cu kan inn kan taanta a si lo. Inn ah kan tlung sawn a si.

John 14:1

1Jesuh in a dungthluntu pawl hnenah, “Thinlung har le beidong in um hlah uh. Pathian zum uhla keimah khal i zum uh. *

2Ka Pa ih inn ah innkhaan tampi a um ih nan hrangih umnak rem dingah ka feh ding. Cutiin si hlah sehla hiti in ka lo sim lo ding.

Thunetnak:

1. Pathian in ziangruangah in nun ter?

Pathian ih in nun ter duhnak san cu: Pathian ih palai, amah aiawhtu dingah a laangte sung ih in nun termi a si.

2. Jawti nu ih nun in kan zir theimi Khrih ih nun a lang ter daan pawl:

· Midang hrangah thilsia tuah a tum dah lo. Misual a ngaithiam. Thla a cam sak.

· Thlacamnak thawn a nung ringring tu a si.

3. Pathian in minung cu a palai (representative) le Jesuh thisen ih tlenmi a fa le pawl kan si ruangah, Khrih ih sunlawinak lang tertu kan hrangah amah in tuanvo a la a si.

4. Pathian ih a palai pawl/a fa le pawl kan thih tikah:

Minung hman in cuti ih kan duh a si ahcun, kan nunnak a sersiamtu le kan hmailam a hmutu Pathian cun, Amah lawng kan duhbik ih, a thu kan ngai ding hi a duh bikmi a si.

Daanpeksalnak 6:4-8

4“Maw Israel mi pawl, ṭhatein ngai uh! Bawipa Amah pakhat lawng hi kan Pathian a si. 5 Bawipa nan Pathian cu nan thinlung zate, nan nunnak zate le nan thazaang zatein nan duhdawt pei. 6Tuihsun ih ka lo pekmi thukham pawl hi nan thinlung sungah caam ringring seh. 7Nan faate pawl zirh sin uh. Inn nan um tikah siseh, lengih nan feh tikah siseh, sim ringring uh. Nan colh tik le hna nan ṭuan tik khalah saal ringring uh. 8Nan baan ah ṭem uhla, a lo theitertu dingah nan cal ah ben uh. 9Nan inn sangka tlunah le nan kotka par khalah ngan uh.

2. Ziangtiin, Pathian ka duh dawt le duhdawt lo na check aw sal thei ding?

Na fala/tlangval/nu le pa (parents) na duhdawt le duhdawt lo ti ziangtin na check aw thei ding timi in kan thok hnik pei.

i. Thinlung: Amah thawn biak awk ding ka duh maw? Um tlaang ding ka duh maw? Ka lo duh ti ih, biak khal bia dah lo, um tlaang ding khal duh lo cu na duh lo tinak a si (fellowship).

Cuvek in, Pathian kan lo duh kan ti ih, Pathian thawn biak awk kan duh lo, Bawipa thawn um tlaang, feh tlaang hi kan duh bikmi a si maw timi hi kan ruah dingmi a si. Pathian cu kan mah thawn pawlkom awk ding duh biktu a si.

ii. Ruahnak: Ka nu le pa ih thusim ka ngai maw? (obedience). Dr. Sikhia fanu Suisui in “Ka nulepa ka duhdawt tiah ka tinak cu, an hmin siatnak ding ka tuah pang ding timi ka phang. Ka zuam ih ka tthanso ahcun, ka nulepa khal an lungawi ding ih, an hmin a tha ding ti ka ruat” tiah a ti (Glory).

Pathian kan duhdawt ngaingai ahcun, thil pakhat khat kan tuah zik tikah, kan thuruah cih dingmi cu, “Ka Pa Pathian ih thu ka ngai maw? Ka Pa Pathian ih hmin ka siat ter pang pei maw? Ka hnatuan ka zuam ih, ka ca ka zuam ahcun, van ih kan Pa a lungawi ding ih, a hmin a tha ti ruahnak thawn hna na tuan dah maw?”

iii. Thazang: Kan duhdawtmi pakhat cu, A/an hrangah teh ziang ka tuah sakmi a um maw? (service) tiah thu kan suh awk a tul.

Pahtian duhdawt timi Bawipaih hrangah ziang ka tuah timi hi kan suh awk dingmi a si. John 21 nak sungah in sim bang in, John fapa Simon I duhdawt ahcun, ka turual pawl va kilkhawi aw tiah thu a pek vek in, a duhdawtmi minung pawl kha va duhdawt ih, va ttanpi khi Pathian duhdawt a si.

A tawi zawng cun, Pathian ih duh bikmi cu kan thinlung zatein Amah thawn pawlkom aw ding, kan ruahnak zatein Amaih sunlawinak lang ternak ding khua khang in, le kan thazaang zate thawn a duhdawtmi minung pawl kha va duhdawt khi a si.

3. Ziangvek can ah Pathian in Amah kan duhdawt bik timi hmuh a duh bik?

Pathian in Amah kan duhdawt bik timi hi kan riahsiat can ah maw, lungawi can ah maw, kan dilmi kan ngah can ah maw, ziang can ah hmuh a duh bik?

Pathian ih thluasuah a pekmi Joshua le Caleb ih nunnak kan zoh tikah a fiang. Israel mipi dang pawl in, ramcar lak ih an um lai ah Pathian hnen ah an vui hram. Pathian kha in kir ter men aw. Egypt ram ah kir kan duh sawn. Kanaan ram khal feh kan paih nawn lo tiah an phunzai. Asinan, Josuah le Caleb cun, Pathian in in pe zo. Kan feh ding ih kan la thei ding a si tiah an ti. Pathian kha Kanaan ram thlen hnu lawngah a hnatuan sak ding, duhdawt ding, zum ding, rinsan ding an tum lo. Atu rori thok in an thinlung zate thawn Amah lawng an rinsan ih, an duhdawt. A fialmi tuah an thok. Curuangah, Pathian in, Josuah le Caleb lawng Kanaan ram a thlen ter a si.

Mipum 14:26-30 sungah:

“Ziangtik tiangso …. kan parah an phunzai ding? …. Ka hnen ih nan dilmi vek in ka lo pe ding. Ka parih nan phunzai ruangah, nan lakih kum kul tlun minun gzohman Kanaan ram nan thleng thei lo ding. Hi ram co dingah, ka lo kam. Asinain Kaleb le Josuah siar lo pakhat hman nan thleng loding” tiah a ti.

Caan tampi ah, kan tumtahmi thleng thei ding in, hmai ih kan feh rero lai ah, ziangah so Bawipa i thlen ter thlang hrih lo? Ziangah so ka lo dilmi na kim ter hrih lo tiah kan vui hram theu. Cun, kan ti theumi cu, ka tumtahmi ka thlen ahcun, na sunlawinak hrangah nasa tak in ka tuan thei ding tiah kan ti theu. Asinan, Bawipaih hrang ahcun, a thupi sawnmi cu (future) kan thlen duhnak ih kan thlen hnuah nasa tak ih a hna kan tuan ding hnak in, Atu (now) kan feh rero lai ah, kan thinlung, ruahnak, le thazaang zate in Amah lawng kan duhdawt maw timi hi a thupi sawn ih a retmi a si.

A tu na feh lai ah, na thlen tumnak cu a thupi tuk ko. Cumi na tumtahmi na thlen tikah, Pathian hrangah nasa tak in ka tuan ding tiah na tumtah ko ding. Asinan, Pathian hrangah cun, cuhnak ih thupi sawnmi cu, a tuih na feh rero lai fangah, Pathian hnak in, duhdawt sawnmi dang na nei maw? Pathian thu hnak in, a lo ciahnehtu thu na ruahnak ah a um pang maw? Pathian sunlawinak hnak in, thil dang hrangah na thazaang le tikcu na cem ternak a um lai pang maw? timi hi a thupit ter sawn mi a si.

Bawipa, nangmah lawnglawng ka lo duhdawt, nangmah thawn kan pawlkom ringring thlang ding in I bawm hram aw.

Bawipa, ziangkim ka tuahnak ah, na sunlawinak langh ter ding lawng khua khang thei dingah in bawm hram aw.

Bawipa, hnatuan i fialmi lawng tuahnak ah, ka tikcu le thazaang ka hman thei ding in, ii bawm hram aw. Amen.

Tuizingah, mi pakhat in group mail ah nunau pakhat ih ruangpi kha pacang pawl in an aat tan ih, an suan mi zuk pawl a rak thlahmi kha a tanglam ah hitin ka let.

Na zuk thlahmi hi tulai technology san ah ol tuk ih tuah theihmi a si. Ka rualpa tla cun, vate lu ah vuilu a ben ih a leeng ih zoh men cun, benmi a si ti theih a theih lo.

Curuangah, hivek thu le zuk hi santhar mino pakhat a simi cun, mipi hnen ah thungai thu vek ih thlah ding kan si lo tiah ka ruat. Thungai a si pang hman ah, hivek zuk hi online ah thlah ding a si lo tiah ka ruat. Ziangruangah?

Kan mipi thinlungah cawn duhnak a suah ter thei. Group mail sungah, upa nauhak, thuruat thei, thei lo kan tel theh ti kan hngilh lo a tul. Kan thlahmi thu in midang thinlung hi a tthat ter thei vek in, a siatsuah ter thei. Thuthimnak ah, kan dung US ah nauhak pa te in, a pai pistol a lak ih a upa a kap that. Police pawl in an kaih ih thawngthlak dingah le kum 7 lawng a si lai. A ngah lo. "Ziangah na upa cu na kap?" tiah thu an suh tikah, "TV game ah, khatin kan kap aw ringring ih, cunah ka kap men. Ka upa cu a thicih dingah ka ruat lo" tiah a ti. A zohmi in le hmuhmi in a thinlung a ciah tuk ti a fiang. Mifim ram ih tulai an buai bikmi cu kan TV games pawl, sun zaan nauhak kan leh termi pawl hi ziangtin violence (misiatsuahnak) a si lomi in kan thleng thei pei tihi a si. Cu lo ahcun, kan fale pawl hi an thisen sungah, mi siatsuah duhnak lungput thawn kan tthan ter cih ding ti hi a si.

Kan dung nai ah, mi pakhat in accident a tongmi pakhat ih zuk a rak thlah. A sungril pawl tiang a suak thehmi a si. Ka rak ti dahmi cu, "himi zuk hi na unau sisehla, midang in hiti vek in, an zuk lo thlah sak sehla, na lungawi pei maw?" tiah ruahnak ka pe dah.

Curuangah, ka sim duhmi cu online zuk kan thlahmi pawl hi kan mipi pawl in an zoh tikah, an hmuhmi zuk vek in tuah duhnak lungput a neih ter thei timi hi hngilh lo sehla tihi a si.

Kan zuk le thu kan thlahmi hi kan thlah hlan ah, "Mipi pawl in an cawn pang asile, a tha pei maw?" tihi ruat cio uhsi ti ka lo sawm.

Mipi tthatnak a duhtu,
