Who should preach?

Loving preachers is the same as preaching. That is the excuse of many Christians today.

"Jesus, come now, I can't wait"

Janet Mefferd from time to time love to say "Jesus, please come quickly" after she just announced a news that she was disgusted at. I see that kind of response as immature. Thus, the question, can we pray Jesus to … Continue reading

On Speaking in Tongue

After a mock Paul Washer's facebook post, I had to formulate a response: Tongues in scripture may refer to foreign languages. Not what many today's version of "heavenly inhuman language" or more often than not, gibberish. Even so, the Apostle … Continue reading

Review: Justification by John Murray

An excerpt from his book: "Redemption Accomplished and Applied". Took me a while to finish reading this writing, as I try to read it only on subways and such. Very mature writing on Justification and faith. Here is my summary: … Continue reading

Acts 27:28...soundings...

I thought they were so advanced as to use the speed of sound as to measure the depth. However, the term βολίσαντες means to heave the lead. That's to drop a long enough line with a plummet at the bottom, … Continue reading

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。
