cyber addiction...and DEATH...

We are not going to be so frequent this week. We are in Esztergom(north Hungary) to get my Hungarian ID. And there is only one "kosher" Internet Caffe and that is in the neighbouring city of Dorog. Although wednesday and Thursday we gonna be in Szeged(southern Hungary) visiting our home church and friends and Kyle and Odi's house has wireless cyber world...I can't wait...(Don Kyle we are coming...)
So this just showed me, how addicted I got to the cyber world...Can't live withouth internet and am complaining about having to drive 10 minutes to a good internet Caffe...Man that is real suffering for CHRIST... :) Not what Paul went through...
Today as we were driving up to North Hungary we have seen 3 car crashes... the second one ended with death...got me into thinking...The LORD is trully protecting us...... Most imes we are not even recognizing it...so we are not thanking HIM for it...But HE is there...there is a certain way how I look to that, but that will be anouther issue...and I will write about that next time... NEXT to subjects:
1. Travelling as Tolkien says
2. Metallica Concert In Vukovar? :)
See you next time... Pray for my Hungarian ID to arrive on time, so we can go back soon to Vukovar, Croatia... THANX.

In addition to: "In addition to"

One more intresting addition to the already published 'In addition to' on the subject of "MY grace is sufficient for you".

Galatians 2:21 says:
"I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died without cause."

If we do not let HIS grace be sufficient for us in every circumstance, then CHRIST has died in vain for us...Its getting sirious...

I THE PLUMMER

To understand what you are about to see you have to know few biographical details. My father is a jurnalist. My mother is an accountant. all we had in the house was paper, and pen. I grew up "withouth seeing" a hammer... :)Ok that is not absolutely true, but close enough to the truth...
My unability to fix things, to build things was always a stain on my "manhood."(if this would be a teleshop marketing I would probably write: and it had effected my marriage and sexual life too...) :)
With serving in Vukovar,Croatia, and the huge needs on the building, in the past year I was learning how to do insolation on the church building, how to build and fix, many-many things...But the challenge came...
Our tap got broken...we went and bought a new one. As a sissy man I asked the seller if he knows a plummer who could come and install it instead of the old one...
The guy in the store looked to me as: "dude, are you nuts????whats wrong with you???" So he explained to me (How easy it is...) how to install it. As an encoureged, brave man I came home...And after short 90 minutes: "Heureka"..."I am a plummer..."
We can't wait to take a shower, a bath...So just as Tom Hanks screamed "I made fire"(in the movie: Castaway), now I feel like: "I made tap"..."I the man."

I know this is way off, of all that was published before. I am aware of that non of you will be spiritually be built up buy this. But thought to share it with you anyways...
I am inlarging my toolbox DEFINITELY... :)

In addition to...

In addition to bad thinking this morning as I was reading GOD gave me II. Corintians 12:9
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

If you read "bad thinking", you will know how deep it has hit me this morning.
When it is hard, when it seems like mission impossible then GOD is telling me and you:
"MY GRACE is sufficient for you..."

How deep is HIS grace? WOW...

Oh yeah and as a "sidenote"...end of verse ten: "...For when I am weak, then I am strong."

It seems impossible for you? Good. Wait and see how will GOD come in and get glorified through that which is impossible for us...

Bad thinking...

Just recently after listening to a teaching, I have realized, that since we are here and the ministry is insanely hard, I was prone to be whining. But it is supposed to be hard. We are told:

"Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:27

Specially being in the front line, (literarly), so how in the world was I expecting easy life, palm trees,...etc? Life supposed to be hard. and if my memory doesn't cheat me there is that famous english sayin: "No Pain, No gain."
It should hurt, it should be hard...thats the way we know we are doing the right thing.

and one more thing...Paul did not said take me out of the hardship...He said
help me through the hardship.

We naturally are prone to go with the way of smaller resistence, but then we should not even get out of our beds, should not do a thing...we are called to do the thing, to fight, and never to give up.
So guys if you went through the same or are in the midst of the tough spot. Stop whining, ask GODs help and guidence and keep fighting for HIS glory, for HIS kingdom.
We are called and we need to keep on.

So throw out the bad thinking and keep doing what you are called to.

TIME

Time is an intresting thing. Unexisting from GODs perspective, but ruling us by our perspective. We have only x-ammount of time, our life, and Paul says we need to be wise what we use it for. Its a time that is not our time, its a time that GOD intrusted us with and want us to use it the wisest way possible, for HIS glory.
Time is invented by man to describe that thing that had no name before it was invented...we even depend on it...We have sayings like „time is money”, „I have no time for...”etc. But actually there is no time.
Just as GOD has not created inches, centimeter and meter, and km/h... these are things, that we use to make order(a common language) in our world.
Our world today would be impossible without these things. We would not be able to build a house without centimeters, inches etc.
I would so often want to live outside of time...when I would not say things like: „I am so sorry I just had no time for that...” But with the limited human being as I am/we are a major part of our life is focusing only on the most important things, which means only those thing that will bring glory to HIM.
And here comes an important sentce a pastor said once:
„Our life is making decisions”
How to make good decisions?
Proverbs 28:5b
„...but they that seek the LORD understand all things.“

SO what time it is?
Its time to seek the LORD.

New picasso?

At the age of 14 month I am not sure if this activity is average, normal, or extreme, but for us it was intersting to see that Lea started to „express herself“ through paper and pencil...
As you can see her technique needs some improvement  but at least she has the time to practice. And she started it last night...and was not willing to stop...

Encouregement

Lately two things have encoureged me. One is from Jermiah 1:17-19 and a friend of mine has sent...the other thing is also he has encoureged me with few months ago, and now GOD reminded me of that quotation from John MacArthur Jr.’s. Rediscovering Pastoral Ministry(for me it would be more proper to call it discovering pastoral minitry, since I am still only trying to figure out what in the world I am doing... )

1.
Jer 1:17 But you, dress yourself for work; arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them.
Jer 1:18 And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronz walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.
Jer 1:19 They wil fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the LORD, to deliver you."
2.
„Stick with your work. Do not flinch because the lion roars, do not stop to stone the devils dogs, do not fool away your time chasing the devils rabbits. Do your work. Let liars lie, let sectarians quarrel, let critics malign, let enemies accuse, let the devil do his worst, but see to it nothing hinders you from fulfilling with joy the work GOD has given you“

Redeeming the time

"Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time."
Colossians 4:5
I read in a commentary on this the following:
According to USA today, the average American will spend six months of his life waiting at red lights. People say, "I just don't have time to pray". But what if they decided that at every red light they would pray for people in the Fellowship, or people who don't know JESUS? WHat if they decided to keep an open Bible on the seat next to them in order to read a verse or two during every red light?
Pastor John Courson

There is GOD(in Hungary)...

After "short" 14 years of living in Hungary, after 6 years of being married to a Hungarian, and haveing 1 kid together... finally the Hungarian officials thought this guy should get a Hungarian citizenship... Trust me if you ever had to deal with Hungarian birocracy you know that this is a definite proof of GOD's existence...:)
So on tuesday 11.45 Hungarian time, I will say the next: I Laszlo Nemeth recieve Hungary as my homecountry, I will be a faithfull citizen of the Republic of Hungary, I will respect and keep its laws. As much as I am able I will protect it and serve it...(translated by me...)

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO PRAYED FOR IT...It came through your knees too.

before you start worrying about our diet..here is a picture of our protein day lunch...:)

Learning is good or bad?

The day came, when Lea learned to open the cabinet. a mistake was also made. Keri's favourite(freshly got from the U.K.) Lemon Bisquit was put into the cabinet...
The rest you can see on the picture... :)

what a wierd lunch...

Well, after seeing this picture you can probably have many questions...
but there is only one simple answer...
We are on a diet...
This is supposedly a diet made by United Nations(I will check on that), specially for Finland and Hungary. I got it from a friend for whom it worked...
for 90 days we gonna have 5 different kind of days.
day one: protein day
day two: rice and stuff
day three: Carbohidrates
day for: fruit
day five: Once a month after fruit that a water day...(killer)
so I will let you know how it goes...
I was 92 Kilograms when I started the diet. running 1 a week... I was never 92...When I left Szeged I was almost 10 kilograms less...
If I go down to 82...I will feel good...If I go down to 80 I will look like Brad Pitt, If I will be under 80 will move out from the concentration camp... :)
