Study the philosophical pretentious that is actually practical
Embrace the life that has lasted a long time. The description of Islam, whether trying to be identified with Arabs or not and making the impression of the grace of goodness for all (rahmatan lil alamin), so it can't be identified with the place of origin has become a part of what we experience and become background that indirectly is the 'broadcast' of our culture. How dominant it is, of course, varies, but generally we are familiar with it – being Indonesia with freedom of belief and having to admit that we are majority role. We are always labeled with the identity of our written beliefs in ID card—although we don't necessarily affirm that identity, especially the state's appreciation for the existence of religion from heredity.
Be us who are always certain to be religious with the “official”—starting to have a glimmer hope when the original religions began to be recognized and could be written in addition to the 6 official religions which have also played a role in giving us holidays and the 'reward' of cutting punishment as the fruit of good behavior when "religious June 2020 people “He was caught in a legal case in the correctional process. Benefits of religion which really plays a role in returning us to society when we are languishing as perpetrators of violations, resulting in legal decisions.
Things that have linked us with religious celebrations that have been going on all our lives for this Indonesian. Its splendor and solemnity will always be intertwined, which of course is with our faith - which is clearly not just an identity and through the struggle for us to believe in "exclusivity" in the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, of course, in this matter there are still struggles and we are aware of our existence to proclaim it; that we take part can certainly be interpreted differently, but supporting solemnity is not just part of tolerance that is trying to happen and trying to continue to be fostered but the statement from God's providence that ".Live in peace" (2 Cor 13:11 NIV ). Too an affirmation that really means "...Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.” (Mrk 9:50 NIV). We are familiar with the notion of the function of salt.
A very basic aspect and of course a question for us to be burdened with realize, is a broad consequence that can certainly lead to debates and the like will be a context, when in our era. God's providence also applies in our minority existence—of course we don't feel “outcast”—as was the case with the message to the prophet Jeremiah to seeking "well-being" (Jer 29:7), to have a part in this is a logical understanding to the extent that welfare has been stated in the Old Testament, as it coincides with the New Testament which strive for a "peaceful life". Even for that, we believe that there is nothing that is just small talk from what we do that does not distract from just "live in peace", proclaiming the testimony of our faith!

A victory will be achieved and chant his echoed accomplishments preceded with a very special moment from the moon to first abstain from food intake and drinking, the term fasting, is lived asan obligation in the previous period sunrise to sunset with recitation of prayer intentions and the end in the realization of a scheduled solemn thanksgiving ritual.
A 'rest' that must be aimed at the achievement of actions that bear fruit in the provision of practice for the end of life later and continuation after death because of the practice that will accompany and exist a very blessed special month, blessed for it. Its definitely becomes a point of difference—even trusting the character immortality (eternity), because humans who will undergo a phase after death, but the point that always gets rebuttal from the word of the Messiah by the source authentic ones share their views to be belittled. We don't believe in -about Jesus Christ other than what the Bible says! Although too spectacular is !
Because of our belief in the human inability to 'like' the creator in this point of belief in the presence of the savior Al Masih, the Messiah is not presenting, because he is still trying to "live in peace", the potential a conflict that has a strong historical pull and can potentially repeat itself actually very sad about the dark history; because it's obvious "Our war is not against flesh and blood" (Eph 6:12). But also meaningless reluctance when responding to such a deep excitement our context has been very lively and we (have) 'rejoiced' becomes even if he does not take part in the fast, which must be because "definition". It's clear for that, our reluctance to say this small talk and understand the genuine aspects of us who are social and seek to “live in peace”— doesn't feel right and it looks small? Is also for those who this is a part of the testimony.
So theologically and literally to return to the achievement of conditions that always like a baby (fitrah; also provided an economic guide, zakat to share with a cut economically in this case that makes the distribution in lively celebrate it from those who can afford to those who can't) obviously fulfills the aspect of our disbelief in the condition of the beginning of man in carry out routines and then the splendor of religion will come back—sure we are also free and do not need to lively religious celebrations? No lively ! That there is only witness to every moment and express God's love for be salt and light! Is successive (Isa 1:13; Am 5:21; 8:10) as a quote linking God's wrath to failed celebrations capture the essence in what God wants so that the guidance becomes salt and light. Believing that to be something related?!
Not to mention forgiveness which in our context is part of the celebration—the thing which is actually embedded as a tradition in our context, the time period in such a way when we realize that the condition we believe in is forgiveness and forgive to always be open (Mt 18:21-35, Mk 11:25-26; Lk 17:4).
So how to deal with it? that's an urge to respond from what is meant is. There will be glorious victories to be achieved. kind of connected when Paul said on Mount Athens (Acts 17:16-34) about something behind something from what was stated, when on the hill of the Arena was written “..the writing to Allah who unknown ...” (Acts 17:23 TB) then is there a statement from religious splendor victory? hence this moment of solemnity of splendor mustget a meaningful response.
Really ?
Still as if to melt us in the splendor of 'share the joy'—sure that not all who participated in this celebration have lived, but because hereditary splendor factors and identity labels that must be printed. That's why the greeting 'confirm' about" congrats on the win” happy celebrating victory…” is part from implying will 'sustainable' as community, our presence is because indeed the achievement is victory. Feels incomplete or also not sincere in terms of the intended meaning when conveying?
Is there a whole and sincere of a religion that does not declare our sinfulness and our separation from the Creator (Rom 3:19-20)? Is not that our understanding that grows and makes us have to live in victory, which unfortunately is the Messiah who has brought victory to us from death and abundant joy over sin does not include provisions for a practice (Acts 16:31), only faith believes in Him (Mk 1:15; John 14:1, 6, 11). It is sincerity for the saving love of Christ to be known many people are familiar with the splendor of their religion.
With this "Happy to celebrate victory!" are we also struggling the victory of Christ the Messiah. That we are disciplined and hope for light The gospel is still declared (1 Cor 9:27). We don't believe in - about Jesus Christ other than the Bible says!
An Effect Of The Pandemic...
So, we must say this while preparing to face the complexities of life and being fed up with it. Where this time, which is precisely reverse and become our arrival as human beings without the lively aspects of cultural events. During the time of the existence of the Islamic religion which has been 7 centuries, there is even a historical theory that says 13 centuries of non-Arabic variants of Islamic identity or the gujarati merchants who are certainly different from the burdens of the past colonialism 'Christian nation' and its spread and also along with other religions that have been around for a long time must be in a sad mood, because they don't need to pay attention to given the plague. Shame if you can without this event?!
A pandemic that is trying so hard for us to be buzzing, gatherings, gatherings—suggestions to 'get rid of' meetings. It was unimaginable and had a lot of impact. Where also for the celebrations which for this is also our "official" belief identity. So it makes sense that the argument is that we have not won and it is difficult to return to our original condition, the nature that is considered sacred as a victory. Our longing abounds in the victory of Christ and nothing else (1Co 15:57) including victory to share blessings in our blessings limit ourselves.
We know God in witnessing His victory (2 Cor 2:14). Believe that because life is not lively and should be without further ado, we also don't feel uncomfortable when a moment that is a bit blurry and is considered a tradition from the official Christian belief section is not appreciated by the prohibition of saying Christian religious days; Christmas, Easter etc.
No, it will not be uncomfortable because we will try to get to the point with or without 'the small talk', we are moved to a victory that is not from our efforts (1 Cor 15:57). Sure, can say "congratulations on winning" as a star message? victory over what? Huhffff....
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?...Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear;..." (Isaiah 58:6,8a NIV)
"No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." (1 Cor 9:27 NIV)
