想不到这可能是个很自私的做法,但只不过是可能而已

叶妈妈曾跟我说:其教会牧师从马来西亚远方数次请位唐崇荣布道团的同工传道人,来此教会证道,猜想是想要他以后接班此教会牧养责任。 我第一印象感到怪可怜的,但又很可能。很像这牧师的处事方法。我不需提名这牧师,免得其名发臭。后来,想想也就认了,也许这样至少不会把教会搞成异端。此教会里有谁能接班?四十年的教会历史,不培也不训,只有自毙的下场。 当然,现在再想一想,这牧师屡次请来的年青讲员们,都只是在台上讲了之后就赶飞机飞走了,很少有团契的机会。不知到底请他们的目的是做做样子,还是偷懒自己教会不要争气。还有最后一点,这牧师常夸其马来西亚来的传道人在马来西亚有心对回教徒传福音,那为何要把他带出他有心事工的地方?所以,我想给其牧师怀疑的空间,当作其目的不是要他搬到美国做此教会的接班牧者,也许不过是钱太多,没其它地方花。不然,这牧师的心真是个可恶,自私的马屁精。自私,因为她已经没办法(狗嘴吐不出象牙地)托其他正统接班人了。马屁精,因为自己不好好追求。

Thoughts on Churches

I feel that I should build a site/app on rating churches. First in the U.S. and then the world. Thus far I haven't seen such a site. This site should be simplistic and informative. Showing denomination affiliations, ranking, rating, etc. … Continue reading

Trust vs. Believe

Let me start with an illustration of these two verbs: "I believe in the Gospel" "I trust His promises" After a simple Socratic Method I did on LigonierConnect, and reading Peter Enns' Why I Don’t Believe in God Anymore, I … Continue reading

List of Mistaken Christian Identity

I should just compile a list of what many who claim to be Christians today and perhaps in the past as well do not get in their own twisted logic: Christians not required to go attend church on Sundays; but there … Continue reading

Common Wrong Conception of Western Missionaries

The misleading idea today is that missionaries are those who work with a christian organization in a foreign country. The error could be further from the truth. The idea of being a missionary, is to preach the Gospel to non-believers … Continue reading

The Obnoxious Celibates

From time to time, there are those singles, regardless of their ages, usually in churches, deeming themselves to be very good with children, youth or young adults. I'm not so easily fooled by them as many in churches do today. … Continue reading

There is a way to tell - Do you truly believe in the doctrine of Predestination - Total Depravity

I've noticed many in the Reformed Churches profess the doctrine of Predestination. However, they behave as those who have no life, as if they were Elects on papers, on some sort of contracts, but not in spirit. The Litmus Test: … Continue reading

An interesting attempt. Turning the tedious directory work in Excel & Word into Access GUI. Cool trick: Round-up / Ceiling of a positive double: In VB.NET, using the fact that int() = floor() -Int(-a/b) It would appear that some MS … Continue reading

Radical vs. Liberal Muslims

Listening to the International Panel talk at the 2017 Ligonier Conference, the host mentioned 80% of Muslims are non-muslims who do not care about the Quran. Only the small percentage, the radicals are true Muslims. I'm not sure of the … Continue reading
