"Many lawyers became preachers" So said Gary, a member of Grace OPC. The pastor was his attorney once and he's been coming to this church for 3-4 years since.
From lawyers to pastors/preachers, such as John Calvin, a noble transition indeed, if the transition is genuine.
Advocating the minimum wage policy is the same as saying: I will not equal myself with the poor.
It doesn't matter if one denies this, it is an inevitable fact.
Without the Minimum Wage bar, we allow ourselves to strive with everyone, fairly. The principle is thus on diligence and not status nor social class.
I figure I would create a summary of the book in a clear picture.

So my company's sending me to Atlanta for CEA school accreditation workshop.
My very first business trip. It's both exciting and challenging. I don't know how business trips work with others such as some of my friends who post photos on Facebook, but I do have lots of reading to do, if I am to achieve the ultimate result.
On the other hand, since I know nothing about Georgia, a quick search gives me a list of places of attraction in Georgia that I may find interesting, too bad I don't have time for all of them:
With unlimited MARTA day pass (3 day for $16) and United Airline ($380 - round trip 3/10 - 3/12 - would have been around $160 if booked a month earlier I think) direct between Newark & Atlanta Airports, and Hilton Atlanta ($245 for 2 nights) in the center of the city, I should be all set.
Study at MeRF: ###
Surprised that Korin showed up. Though she would be intimidated by an all man group...technically that isn't true, there were one or two ladies attending from time to time. I'm impressed. I was impressed at her inquiry on predestination last time (Why do we still need to preach). I didn't pick her, nor Orlando, to be very into reformed theology. They just keeps surprising me every time at MeRF. Boy have I been missing out all these years, trapped in the Chinese Immigrant's America is God's Heaven churches.
There were discussions on means of praise. Contemporary vs. hymnal musics.
Eddy brought up an interesting question: Why the difference in contemporary worship today?
I thought for a while, came up with one theory: It appears to be dependent on social media technology. The invention of television and radio, sound systems, etc. which is since the late 1800s.
Pak Tong once commented on the Exodus: That it was the greatest choir ever formed. The entire millions of Israelites singing and praising the Lord after the Red Sea. God was the only audience in such worship. Today, the audience are greater than the singing team. It is the difference between worship and entertainment.

His name was mentioned in #99 of Dr. Tong's Hebrews Expository.
Zainuddin M. Z. is called the Billy Graham of Muslim.
He secretly became a Christian and got baptized after his Hijrah in Mecca where he saw what he interpreted to be a vision from God, of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross before Kaaba. He believes that it was how God was telling him to became a Christian. - Paraphrased from Tong.
This revelation is never public even after his death.
I thought to myself, lots of Muslims converting to Christianity because of some supernatural visions in the middle East. Many western conservatives are skeptical of it. I am too. But I am willing to open to the possibility that this is in fact the Lord's direct doing. Direct, meaning not through the act of demons.
However, because of this, it attracted many Charismatics' attention and zeal to aid these new Muslim converts. Resulting in really really bad theology. Therefore, the reformed needs to do more evangelical works than they are currently claiming, this is a rebuke from the Lord, I'm sure.
Now, as for Zainuddin's secrecy in conversion and perhaps even to the extend of cover up, it can only be left to the Lord's mercy, as Naaman did before Elisha.

I was such an idiot. So so so stupid! I guess I deserve to be fat because of it.
Elizabeth once asked me, as she's going back to Indonesia with her family for a while, what she could bring for me from Indonesia.
The initiative offer was so sudden I knew but I couldn't come up with an answer better than "I want Keropok". It was a random answer, I did not think it through hard enough. So I got only keropok when she returned.
Now, only now, it came upon me that one of the many more important requests I could ask of her is:
If it is ok, I want a list of books of Pak Tong's personal library. You can take photos or video of the them, I just need to be able to see the book titles as much and as clear as possible.
May God have mercy upon me.
