Thanks for letting me know AbNial. I think it’s good because most people who read UBF websites might not view UBFriends with similar favor. Perhaps, I may send more reports in the near future.

Would you share some stories of what God is doing at your end of the world?

The apostle Peter (as well as other disciples) were definitely encouraged and humored when they witnessed thousands of people repenting and desiring to know God. As for me, I will not be encouraged nor humored by this, because my heart is not where it is supposed to be. Rather, my head will grow larger along with my pride and ego.

God encourages me and humours me in many ways. He tells me I am a sinner and I should repent. When I drink a glass of water, God tells me I need to repent. I say ‘What? All I am doing is drinking a glass of water.’ He says ‘Surely, if that is all you see yourself doing, you need to repent even more.’ I then reply, ‘Surely, if I am in need of repentance…’

I say that if we are going to talk about numbers, then we must also talk about genesis, exodus, leviticus, deuteronomy… revelation.

Thanks, Jerson. You are the 2nd person that commented to me that numbers of people do not matter. The 1st was in an email. Perhaps, others feel strongly as well that numbers should not matter much.

My thought regarding numbers is that we prefer $50 to $1. Somehow, 50 people being touched by the gospel is “more moving” than 1 person being touched by God, as precious as that 1 person is.

The overwhelming majority of Christians do not experience “spectacular numbers” most, if not all, of their Christian lives, apart from Charles Spurgeon, George Whitfield, John Wesley, Dwight Moody, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and some modern day gifted anointed mega-church pastors.

Yes, numbers do not matter. But in my case, I think that God sometimes ordains the coming of “more people” for at least 2 reasons: 1) to encourage me. 2) to humor me!
