currently, im re-watching Lord of the Rings.. thx to Uncle Mun Kong, i have got hold of the extended version, which scenes are not shown in the cinema... yes.. and i can tell u, it is a show full of hope, full of good christian principles...
the part in the Two Towers, where Frodo and Samwise was caught in Gondor, where Faramir, Boromir's brother,(one of the nine members of the fellowship) wanted to bring the One Ring, for their use.. while that place was under attack by Sauron(who is that stupid eye)'s forces, which is orcs and Naz'rul (which is some dark rider riding on somekind of creatures).. they fight fight fight, and Frodo ask a question, after being the ring bearer for so long.. that burden, pressure of wanting to keep that ring for himself, is all over him.. and that stupid eye keep on wanting that ring back.... so, Frodo was tired, burned out.. and he ask Sam, "wat is the point of doing all these things?" (in my own words la).. den Sam answers.. "it is because there are goodness in this world"..
U see, when sometimes we are so actively involved in our ministry in church, we go here go there.. plan this and that.. and we realised that we are not going anywhere.. we are all drained out... and we felt so burderned with things around us.. attack from the enemy, attack from within our own ppl.. Do u ask urself, why are u still doing all these things?? why do we still hold on to the work we are in?? WHY WHY and WHY?? for that show, it tells me one thing.. is because there are ppl who wants to hear the goodnews.. there are ppl who is still out there not knowing about Christ.. and we as christians, are suppose to be that person, to bring goodness, to bring the Good News, to the ppl in this world... and the Good News is the GOSPEL, which is "God Offering Sinful People Eternal Life".. and by having the BIBLE, which is "Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth".. yea.. we are to reach out and tell of the amazing Grace of God.. not about prosperity and all that kind of shit... coz the main objective of the Gospel is that amazing grace...
the other thing that impact me is the friendship between Frodo and Sam.. those two are best buddies.. Frodo is the main character in that sense where he is the one who will be going to destroy the ring.. but, without Sam, who gave him encouragement, gave him support, helping him to decern from right and wrong.. Frodo will have die long time ago.. and yes.. as christians, we are not moving in this mission alone.. we have company.. we have friends and buddies who share the same vision like us... who will encourage us in times of needs.. by having dat, we will move on further..
ya.. one more thing, that would be my quote of the day
"even the smallest person can change the cause of this world"......
God bless u all my fren... May God give peace to the restless...
