[Videos] TEAMSEAS Donation Campaign to Clean up the Beaches, Rivers and Oceans.


Join us in this #TEAMSEAS campaign to raise funds to clean up the oceans, rivers, and beaches.

 

Now, WHAT IS #TEAMSEAS?

Basically, #TeamSeas is a global campaign, to raise $30M, to remove 30M pounds of plastic, and trash from our ocean, rivers, and beaches. It’s also the second wave of the largest creator-led fundraising campaign, to ever hit the internet. For the record, we launched #TeamTrees in 2019, with a goal of raising $20M, to plant 20M trees, and we smashed it—raising over $23M, and generating more than 1 billion video views. Even two years later, TeamTrees.org, is still receiving donations, for planting 2,600 trees every day.

We’re back again, to rally the internet’s passion, and imagination, in support of the ocean, and all of us.

WHO IS INVOLVED IN #TEAMSEAS?

Just like the original campaign that inspired it, #TeamSeas is being led by Mark (Rober), Jimmy (MrBeast), and Campaign Director, Matt Fitzgerald (@fitz350). WHICH NONPROFIT CHARITIES ARE WE PARTNERING WITH? For #TeamSeas, we’ve partnered up with Ocean Conservancy, and The Ocean Cleanup. All donations to #TeamSeas will be split by the two charities, in equal proportions, 50/50.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH PLASTIC POLLUTION IN OUR WATER?

Our oceans, rivers, and beaches are full of plastic trash. It’s estimated that there are 200 million tons of plastic already circulating in marine environments, with an estimated 11 million tons, entering the ocean EVERY YEAR. Pollution from bottles, bags, straws, and abandoned fishing gear, is a health crisis for our entire planet. So, we’re going to remove the equivalent of 85 football fields, covered a foot deep in trash.

 

WHY OCEANS, RIVERS, AND BEACHES?

The ocean and the life within it, are incredibly important. Aside from the water we drink, the ocean produces half the air we breathe every day. So, it’s a no-brainer that keeping it clean, and healthy is critical to our survival. But keeping our rivers, and beaches free of trash pollution is just as important. Rivers contribute up to 20% of ocean plastic pollution overall. They are the arteries, that carry waste from land to the ocean, and it’s important we cut off that problem upstream. And trash on beaches can, inevitably make its way, into the water, and harm coastal habitats, which is why, we are focusing our attention on, cleaning up all three.

 

HOW ARE WE ACTUALLY GOING TO CLEAN UP ALL THIS TRASH?

We’re glad you asked. Because 30 million pounds, is A LOT of trash. We’re dividing our work among three points, of intervention: beaches, rivers, and oceans. So, how can you help?

Simply go to TeamSeas.org to buy your Merch.

[Videos] Penang Times Square, Queens Residences @ Queens Waterfront


The video above was shot at Birch Regency Condominium, phase 2 of Penang Times Square. It used to be a happening place; until MBI was found to be ‘not too honest’ in its business deals, and therefore, had to close its premises here. I still miss the crowds from China with loud heavy Chinese accents, chattering excitedly, adorned with colorful clothes and paired with lovely scarfs.

Penang Times Square in its heydays, was the talk of the town, attracting busloads of tourists, especially from China and locals. There were many tuck shops set up to sell knick-knacks and ornaments that you can hardly find elsewhere. The tourists come here to redeem their points for gifts, utensils, luggage, and more. Some use the points to redeem for delicious local food at the various restaurants with high-class décor and pricey interior design. Pity, that now it is all over!

If only a big businessman that has acute business acumen will take over the entire shopping space in this insidious pandemic, then perhaps, the Penang economy may be revived again prior to the Covid-19.

Bring Every Thought into Captivity

Bring Every Thought into Captivity

Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:5

BRING EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY


Unfortunately, unbeknownst to many believers today, the enemy has launched malicious disinformation campaigns that have effectively enslaved them for years to low self-esteem, self-hatred, guilt, eating disorders, perversions, excessive fears, and all kinds of crazy habits and addictions.

I want to expose the enemy’s lies and to help you see with pristine clarity the enemy’s deceptive and manipulative tactics. These lies will collapse like a house of cards the second you see your true identity in Christ.

Your weapons for this warfare are found in the truth of God’s Word, and they are mighty and have the power to overthrow and destroy every stronghold that has been built up through disinformation and wrong believing. And the way we can eliminate these strongholds in our mind is by “bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5).

When I was a young believer, I was taught that it was my responsibility to bring my every thought into obedience to Christ. I tried and struggled with that for years and ended up with more mental oppression, stress, and guilt than I had started with.

One day God opened my eyes and said to me, “Son, keep your focus and your thoughts always on the obedience of Christ, and that will be a powerful weapon to pull down the devil’s strongholds in your mind.” When He said that to me, it felt like the lights were suddenly switched on in my head.

So what does it mean to capture every thought to the obedience of Christ? Simply this: to focus on Jesus’ obedience to the Father at the cross, through which we were all made forever righteous the moment we believed in Him.

Can you see that our obedience today under the new covenant begins with choosing to believe that we are made righteous by Christ’s obedience at the cross? The apostle Paul describes our obedience as “obedience to the faith” (Rom. 16:26)—believing right about what Jesus has done to make us righteous. And when we believe right like this, we will find His grace motivating and empowering us to think and live right.

God’s Word tells us, “The just [righteous] shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17). You can say it like this: the righteous shall live by right believing. When you have right believing, you release the power of God to live right.

The next time you have negative thoughts, catch yourself and look toward the obedience of Christ. See the cross. See Jesus. See Him washing your mind with His precious blood.

When you believe the gospel, the true gospel that says you are righteous through Jesus’ obedience (Rom. 5:19), you will have right living. The right results will follow.

My friend, the more you believe right that you have been made righteous and blessed through Christ’s obedience, the more you will see the fruit of obedience in your life. Praise Jesus for His marvelous grace!

Know Your Father’s Heart

Know Your Father’s Heart

 

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to propitiate for our sins.
1 John 4:10 KJV

Today, I want you to reread the parable of the Father of the prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32). As you read, keep in mind that this Son utterly rejected and completely humiliated and dishonored his Father, then only returned home when he remembered that even his Father’s hired servants had more food than he did! It was not Son’s love for His Father that made him journey home; it was his stomach. In his self-absorbed pride, he wanted to earn his keep as a hired servant rather than receive his Father’s provision by grace or unmerited favor.

God wants us to know that even when our motivations are wrong, even when we have a hidden (usually self-centered) plan and our intentions are not entirely pure, He still runs to us in our time of need. He showers His unmerited, undeserved, and unearned favor upon us.

Oh, how unsearchable are the depths of His love and grace toward us! It will never be about our love for God. It will always be about His magnificent love for us. The Bible makes this clear: “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10 KJV).

Some people think that fellowship with God can only be restored when you are perfectly contrite and confess all your sins perfectly. Yet we see in this parable that it was the Father who was the initiator, it was the Father who had missed his Son, who was already looking out for him, and who had already forgiven him.

Before the Son could utter a single word of his rehearsed apology, the Father had already run to him, embraced him, and welcomed him home. Can you see how it’s all about our Father’s heart of grace, forgiveness, and love? Our Father God swallows up all our imperfections, and true repentance comes because of His goodness.

Do I say “sorry” to God and confess my sins when I have fallen short and failed? Of course, I do. But I do it not to be forgiven because I know that I am already forgiven through Jesus’ finished work. The confession is out of the overflow of my heart because I have experienced His goodness and grace and because I know that as His Son, I am forever righteous through Jesus’ blood. It springs from being righteousness-conscious, not sin-conscious; from being forgiveness-conscious, not judgment-conscious. There is a massive difference.

If you understand this and begin practicing this, you will start experiencing new dimensions in your love walk with the Father. You will realize that your Daddy God is all about relationship and not religious protocol. He loves being with you. Under grace, He doesn’t demand perfection from you; He supplies ideal to you through the finished work of His Son, Jesus Christ.

So no matter how many mistakes you have made, don’t be afraid of Him. He loves you. Your Father is running toward you to embrace you!

Applying the Written Word

Applying the Written Word

But the righteousness of faith speaks . . . But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and your heart” (that is, the Word of faith which we preach).
Romans 10:6, 8

APPLYING THE WRITTEN WORD


Let me show you examples of how you can use the written Word to come against the enemy’s attacks.

Let’s say that while driving to work one morning, you hear some professor saying over the radio, “One in every five women will develop this disease by the age of forty.” That’s the time you must say, “It is written—‘Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and the perilous pestilence” (Ps. 91:3).

If you do this, you are putting up a shield of faith, and you are releasing power as you declare that regardless of what the reports of the world say, your God shall deliver you from every deadly disease!

Here’s another example of when and how you can quote the written Word. Suppose, for some reason, and you are crippled by vivid images in your mind of yourself dying young and leaving your spouse and little ones to fend for themselves. Again, this is the time to speak the Word of God against those fears. Declare, “It is written—‘With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation” (Ps. 91:16).

Maybe you might know of an acquaintance who was killed in a fatal accident. Now, you are fearful that the same thing might happen to you. My friend, the enemy has just shot you with a fiery dart. We do not know what the other person believed. We can only be responsible for our own beliefs and lives.

Perhaps your relatives or family members have died from the same illness, and the enemy is now attacking you with thoughts that you will also develop diabetes as your father and uncle did or die from the same heart condition they had.

My friend, if you have been entertaining thoughts like these, NOW is the time to rise and make this declaration: “A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall NOT come near me” (Ps. 91:7)!

For something to happen at your right hand means that it has to be close to you. This means that even if something unfortunate happens to someone close to you, do not allow fear to hold you in its paralyzing grip. Speak forth the written Word of God!

How to Be Kept in Perfect Peace

How to Be Kept in Perfect Peace

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.
Isaiah 26:3

HOW TO BE KEPT IN PERFECT PEACE


You need the truth of God’s Word to uproot any wrong belief. This is why it’s so important to get into His Word and take time to meditate upon verses that reveal God’s unwavering and unfailing love for you.

For instance, if you find your mind drifting into anxious thoughts over the smallest things, I encourage you to memorize and quote today’s scripture: “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You” (Isa. 26:3).

Whenever I feel stressed or worried about something, I pull away from life’s hustle and bustle and simply meditate on God’s promises. Sometimes I like to drive to a quiet park, and as gentle anointed music plays in my car, I feed on and speak His Word, allowing it to permeate my spirit: “God’s Word declares, ‘You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.’”

And I tell the Lord, “Yes, Lord, it is You who will keep me in perfect peace. Perfect peace comes from You. I just need to rest in Your grace and keep my mind on You. I don’t need to think about what to do about this challenge. As I trust in You and keep my mind stayed on You, You will lead me and guide me. My trust is not in my own strength, but in You and You alone, Jesus.”

What am I doing here? Instead of allowing stress and worry to get to me, I’m training my heart to see how God sees my challenges.

The bigger God becomes in my heart, the smaller my challenges become. In fact, many times when I just relax and keep my mind on the Lord, His peace and wisdom begin to flow in me, and the challenge that I was previously so worried about becomes minute and inconsequential in the presence of Almighty God.

Are you faced with an insurmountable circumstance today? Learn to see what God sees by meditating on His Word, and let His peace drive out your anxiety. Let His wisdom direct your paths.
