Why should God write a book for us?

Currently reading a book by Jill Master.

May I present her work.... (Summarize version aka only taking main points)

Title: Why do we need the bible?
Bible reading: Job 9:10 ; Psalm 119 esp v105; Psalm 145


Bible is the only Book claims to be written by God. Its human authors having been guided in every word by the Holy Spirit.


Why should God write a book for us?
a) Because He made us
The bible is our Maker's instruction Book. He knows far better than we know ourselves. How strange it must seem that human should think they know better than their Maker! Human are so small and He is so great! We need God to reveal Himself to us and teach us how we should live.


b) Because we are only human
We are physical (flesh & bone) while God is spiritual. He is everywhere, all knowing and everlasting. Could a fish write a book about life on dry land? Or could a blind man write a book on sunset photography? How then can we write about Heaven / about God when we haven known or experienced either?


c) Because we are so sinful
We sinners are not the best people to understand the plans of a holy God. We have rebelled and offended our Maker. He must show us the terms of forgiveness & reconciliation.


d) Because we are so changeable
Our ideas & theories change from year to year. Leaders rise and fall. Scientists & politicians change their minds. But God is unchanging. He never varies and He put His truth down in writing so that it can be preserved and handed down from 1 generation to another without alteration.


Summary:-
Our world is a dark place, away from God. Even the cleverest, "best" people are only little humans, deeply affected by the disease of sin. How wonderful then that God has shined into our darkness with the light of His word - a lamp to our feet and a light to our path - showing us the Truth, telling us the good news of a Saviour.

Bangkok Jazz...

I met up with my senior for dinner yesterday. He wanted something spicy and my colleague suggested that we go Bangkok Jazz.. So off we go.. It is located at Chulan Square and the best part? It is empty inside... Mind you, I don't like crowded place and since it is empty the service of the restaurant is good!

This is the view of the interior... It is as though catering for couples, it is practically candle light dinner... (=..-)" It is simple, calming environment... Love it!! The waiters were constantly checking on you. They were very proactive! They don't wait until you ask for something but they will "forecast" ahead.. I have to give them a pat on their back for their service. =)

The menu in the restaurant is interesting... Why? Because... I don't even know what I was ordering.. Hahaha.. It is in Thai but with some short description below every single dish. Hmmm... We didn't try their appetizer though.. We went straight to main course as we were so darn hungry!!! The serving was fast!


Curry
SUPERB SPICY but very nice! Did you see the cili padi??
Don't know the exact name for this, but it is chicken inside. Can't stop eating it!
Vegetables cooked with belacan
Specially requested by my senior , pineapple fried rice. Ended up he didn't eat much as he wanted me to eat more. ^.^
Lastly.... TOM YAM SOUP! This soup is SUPERB! Hahaha... The amount of things they put in... Wulala~ It's really very nice! I totally enjoyed the soup! OK, it's spicy! But... NICE!


In short, I enjoy the meal! It's simply yet nice! All the food were well cooked! Ahh.. How I wish I can have another bowl of the tom yam soup now! SLURP!!! ^^
