Welcome to the LoaLoa Christian Network.

You might be wondering what loaloa means. Is it a Hawaiian greeting? Is it a spelling error of Noah Noah? What is it? Yes, those are the questions that I get often.

Once upon a time we have all experienced opening a first email address. What kind of name should I get? Did any one have the same one as I have? Is it cool enough to give “a-Ha” moment impression to others? And so on. I had the exact same experience again giving a name to this network. I anticipated coming out and meeting you for many anxious months but the name was a big stumbling block.

I have prayed every waking moment, “Lord, what would be the best name?” Duh~~~ everything that came to my mind wasn’t right. Until one day I seriously contemplated the purpose of the network. Right! What is the purpose of this network?

It is only to encourage, it is only to support those in hardship. It is only to ease the depressed or oppressed and wounded hearts of others. Yes, this beautiful work is what The Lord has put into my heart as he did to many already. This is what we call “Love One Another.” This is what Jesus taught us to do and this network is all about that purpose. Yes. L O A is the acronym for “Love One Another” <John 15;12>

L O A is the acronym for ” Love One Another”

Thank you for visiting us and reading the stories. The LoaLoa Christian Net Work encourages you to participate by sending good stories, photos, art work etc.

We love you all! And just remember God loves you!

Love ….

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

1 john 4:7-12

***

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 1;1-6

 The True Light

The beginning of knowledge.

let the wise listen
and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance —

for understanding proverbs
and parables, the sayings
and riddles of the wise.

The fear of the LORD is
the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 1; 5 -7

The Wisdom(Jesus) in the beginning

“The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;

I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began.

When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water;

before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,

before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world.

I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,

rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

“Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.

Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.

Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.

But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”

Proverbs 8;22-36

Thinking of Christ, our Lord at the period of a Lent

The “Lent” is the 40 weekdays from the Ash Wednesday  to Easter Sunday. In this period Christians do think about what Christ had done to save us:  the life of Christ, the teaching of Christ,  the suffering on the cross, and the resurrection and more.

This year “The Lent” started on February 18 which is called Ash Wednesday and last on  April 4.

Thank you and  Have a Blessed Day!
