Vocab: BCO (PCA's Book of Church Order)
The heat of firing of Pastor Mark Robinson from Redeemer led me to reading Scott Sauls' mistake in ordaining deaconess, which is against BCO. Now I have a list of PCA related Manuals: The Apostle’s Creed The Athanasian Creed The … Continue reading

Long Bristled Smartweed (Polygonum caespitosum - Oriental Lady's Thumb): Found along the fence between park and forest. Pink flowers are obvious. Resembles Lady's Thumb (in Wildman Steve Brill's edible plants book), minus the "thumb print" on the leaves. I couldn't … Continue reading

Morning Mist
This layer of 6am mist taken about a month ago (Van Cortlandt Park) reminds me of the supposedly rainless time of ancient Earth in Genesis 2:5-6.

說文的 “義” 字
國內基督徒幾年前，喜歡把許多字彙來歷與基督教歷史相配在一起。 其動機如果是謙卑願意學習，那還沒事；但若是以要說服人家信主的態度來解釋這些字匯的根源，若不管事實，那可是非常可怕的傲慢。 現在多人愛用“義”，這字來說明中國人自古以來就認識了羔羊獻祭的意義。乃是羔羊為我死，以至於我被稱義。 我爲了這些扭曲事實的人，追追追，追查這些字根。 這“義”字，說文記錄：。。。从我。从羊。威儀岀於己，故从我。董子曰。仁者，人也。義者，我也。謂仁必及人。義必由中斷制也。从羊者，與善美同意。。。 不是“羊為我”，說“我像羊”還比較好。這樣，雖不合乎聖經，但合乎歷史，合乎實在。 向中國人傳福音不需在其文化裡臉上貼金。

Tim Keller's Evangelistic Approach
Not holding rally. It's outdated, as Keller claims. The way to do it, is to host talks such as this (after his book titled: The Reason for God): I am curious as to where he got his "group".
