Religion is not seeking God, it is avoiding real God.
We get no merit for seeking after God, because the ability to seek after God comes from His own grace .
He choosed us even before creation.
It is not anthropocentric to prove the existence of God.
It is theocentric which brings relevation and manifestation.
There is general revelation and common grace for all human being created in the image of God.

The meaning of life
If we spend our life eating,drinking,playing and having fun,what is the difference between us and animals .
Why are we spending the grace of God only, occupying land without production and wasting our time and life away
Do we know that our life and death can be the blessing or curse for others?
Do you use the grace of God for the benefits of others or do you use it to make others suffer?
History is but the shadow of the greater people in the past era.

The true meaning of kindness
"A philanthropist is a but a selfish person with foresight"
" If you want recognition from men, you will not be recognized by God".
What is the definition of kindness?
8 He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God Micah 6
1) Do not retreat in front of difficulty; do not be the first to go after benefits.
2) Lover of peace. Do not raise conflict whenever one goes. If what he should insist, he does not insist; what he should let go, he does not let go, he will make himself a despicable man.
3) Do not treat others according to their standard. Others must be responsible for whatever they do, while we are responsible for our character. No matter how others treated us, we still have the freedom to choose how we react to others. We should not lower the standard of our character and use the standard of others to respond to them.
4) Must continue to do good things without grumbling although there is no results.
5) When we mentioned that others are not kind to us, do we check that whether we are kind to others in the first place.
