I Live for Him who Had Died for Me

A reflection toward 2 Corinth 5: 11-21
As a Christian, I often hear some news about Christian faith who says that every person’s life is belong to God and supposed to use to glorify Him. When I hear this news, I can believe it without any question or complain. Even, I often share it to the people around me and try to make them have the same faith.
Unfortunately, receive it as my own faith is easier than do it in my daily life. Because at the fact, I just use this faith as “head knowledge” without any application. Something that happen is I live for my own self. I make a decision which will bring positive impact for me without any consideration whether it is appropriate with God will or not. I also always measure something based on how big the useful for me. One of the most embarrassing things that I usually do is measuring a serve based the number of viewer which influences my courage level to serve. If there are a lot of viewers then I will make sure that I do my best, while if there are little viewers then I will look down on it, and even I will not do hidden serving or do it with bad feeling.
Through these verses, I was reminded that my life is not belongs to me. I was really death because of my sin and only by God grace that sent His Son (Jesus Christ) who redeemed me so I can life again. I should realize that I am in this world for a clear purpose that is glorifying my savior. As Christ ever lived among human in this world not for Himself but for saving human, then I should not live for myself but for my God. Based on this faith, I begin to do everything as a serving, no matter how big it is.

Cerpen Keluarga

  Dari Putri Untuk Ayahnya yang Hilang Aku tak mungkin ada tanpa ayah, tapi aku bisa hidup tanpa ayah, meskipun aku tidak benar-benar hidup. Jiwa dan semangatku terkubur bersama dengan hilangnya sosok ayah dalam hidupku. Memang sudah lama sekali, bahkan sebelum aku bisa mengatakan kepedihan dalam hatiku. Ayahku adalah sosok seorang pemimpin yang mampu membuat keputusan besar, itulah sebabnya ia meninggalkanku. Ayahku adalah sosok yang berani, sehingga tanpa berpikir panjang ia pergi. Ayahku adalah sosok yang kuat, itulah sebabnya ia mampu hidup tanpaku. Tapi sayang, kurasa ia telah mati rasa. Ia tak lebih dari sebuah robot tangguh. Bisa melakukan segala sesuatu dengan sempurna, tapi tak dapat mengerti dirinya. Ia tak bisa jatuh cinta dan tak bisa menangis, tak bisa pula merindu. Apa yang akan kukatakan ketika kekasih jiwaku bertanya dimana ayahku? Haruskah kujawab di rumah? Rumah keluarga kita yang selalu ada dalam mimpiku, tapi itu tak nyata. Haruskah kujawab dijalan? Jala...

Learning Method: Concept Map

Concept Mapping as a Learning Strategy 1.       The Nature of Concept Mapping Concept mapping is one strategy or model of learning that is often used to discuss specific material that is relational. This learning strategy is very helpful for students to understand a concept and the relationship of the concept with the part or sub topic that is in it.

This proposition is two or more concepts associated with the line labeled (conjunction) that has a meaning. This is what forms the concept map.

Nenek Rohaya (Kritik Sosial berlatar budaya Batak)

Nenek Rohaya (karya: Lentaria Lumban Toruan) Hari minggu kali ini, penduduk Sianjur Mulamula gempar oleh kunjungan Pak Tamba ke gereja HKBP resort Limbong Sagala. Biasanya hanya beberapa jemaat saja yang menghadiri ibadah, itupun hanya ibu-ibu yang akan membaptiskan bayinya atau anak sekolah yang harus meminta bukti mengikuti kebaktian sebagai tugasnya di sekolah. Tapi kali ini karena pengkhotbah adalah Pak Tamba, calon anggota DPR yang kekayaannya tersiar di seluruh desa, maka seluruh kursi gereja penuh bahkan beberapa kursi sengaja dipinjam dari warung samping gereja. Memang beginilah keadaanya sekarang, semakin tinggi jabatan seseorang maka semakin kuatlah daya tariknya. Jika pendeta Haposan yang berkhotbah, tidak ada jemaat yang mendengarkan, dia dianggap seperti radio yang menyiarkan berita zaman purbakala yang tidak menarik sama sekali. Ibu-ibu biasanya keluar untuk menyusui bayinya, sementara anak-anak sekolah sibuk dengan HP buatan China yang kameranya buram dan ukuranny...
