god only provide seeds...

pastor tang zhen xiong's sermons are great... they remind us of what is the essence of being a christian... he questions and challenges our faith... friday's easter sermon was quite interesting... he talked about the 3 types of laziness in humans, esp christians, who like to not do anything and pray for a miracle to happ...

laze 1 :: unknown laze
being to caught up with your own life, blaming everyone else, blaming god but yourself for your own mishaps...

laze 2 :: the one day syndrome
one day, i will be successful... one day, i'll grow closer to god... one day, i'll love my parents and friends more... one day, god will provide the neccesary grace for me... one day... one day... but in the end, nothing gets done...

laze 3 :: the minor laze
majority of the ppl belongs to this category... taking care of everything very well, except a certain aspect of your life...

well, he finished the sermon with quite an interesting story...

one day, a little gal went to a fruit shop owned by god... she saw the fruits on the shelves which were so beautiful... she asked god if she could have them and god replied "yes"... she asked if she could help her parents and siblings to get them too and god replied "yes"... so she was very happy, while god went to prepare what she wanted... when god came back and gave her what she wanted, she was shocked to see that there weren't any fruits but only seeds... and god said...

"my dear, i'll provide you with the seeds, you have to grow them into fruits yourself..."
