Joel Osteen Podcast

There are times - with enormous guilt, I confess: many times - I fail to attend Sunday Church Service. This is when the internet, iTunes and Joel Osteen Ministry, which provide a virtual worship space free to anyone on the Internet, come in handy. But I still prefer going to church lah. I'd like to think that I'm a good Christian, well at least I'm trying.

Out of many pastors in the world, I like Joel Osteen the most. I've been to Benny Hinn's Miracle Crusade few years ago and truly felt God's presence during the event and also hear other pastors' sermons, but I feel more connected to Joel Osteen's sermons, I also read his daily devotionals. So comforting - well, to me everything according to the bible is comforting (: And oh, for daily devotionals I also love reading the ones from Streaming Faith!

I love the part where he raises his Bible and asks everyone in the audience to raise their Bibles in the air. Then the whole people in the church chant the following words:

“This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive; I'll never be the same. In Jesus name, God bless you.”

I know some people who think that he's a materialist pastor because he has big house and pretty wealthy, I don't care about that. That is his business with God, not with people. I really think that religion is very intimate and private (well since this blog is my diary, I can share my innermost part and intimate details, can't I?) and I keep wondering why people have to harass, threat, attack those who don't share the same beliefs since it's truly none of their business?! --- ergh sorry can't help it. Anyhoo, I like the way Joel Osteen delivers the words of God. And if you are a Christian and fail to attend Sunday Church Service everytime, download his podcast and you can watch the videos on iTunes. Well you can also sync the podcast videos to your iPhone / iPad / iPod, then you can watch the videos anywhere, anytime.

One of the largest earthquakes in recorded history hit Japan last Friday, March 11, 2001, shaking cities and villages along a 1,300-mile stretch of coastline with terrifying tremors felt as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles from the epicenter. The quake killed and injured many people and unleashed a monster 33-foot-high tsunami that sent ships crashing into shore, wiped away homes, carried cars through the streets of towns and took away many lives.

My family and I were in front of the television when that catastrophe happened, we watched how the powerful tsunami came in and swept away the cars, homes, buildings, ships and people. It was devastating and horrifying. To think that an hour before the tsunami, those people were laughing - working - running errands - relaxing - sleeping, everything was normal - just another day in Northern part of Japan. Then an hour later, they were all gone. I actually visualized that on my mind and got very disturbed seconds later. 

The earthquake was terrible as well, many people injured and infrastructures heavily damaged. Thank God, my friends and some of my family in Tokyo are safe and sound. Here are the photos of the devastating catastrophe...

No matter how advanced a country is, mother nature is still in full control. There is nothing we can do but to pray for Japan, make donations and be grateful that we still have more days to live.

My love and prayer go out to all those effected by these horrible events... God bless us all.
