One asks..."Why" are you a Christian?
I sometimes answer tricky questions with tricky answers.
Why are you a Christian...because it is the only true path.
How are you a Christian...Sola Gratia!
To date, there's only two times when I spoke to Rev. Stephen Tong in person.
The other times, were when I was merely a student in his class.
This time, at the Elmhurst Church, he recognized me, so I was asked by him in the middle of his speech..."What is servitude?" To which I paraphrased 1Corinthians 10:31. It was the answer I got from his class years ago.
Sure enough, Rev. Tong encouraged everyone in New York City to stand up in this sin city. Do not be like the charismatics.
I am considering going to the Westchester meet the following day, if I finish all my chores.
As he showed us slides of his church in Indonesia and their local rallies, I was reminded of how one would easily have said "What a show-off". My reply to these would be of 2 parts: 1. How has Satan blinded you that you cannot praise God for all these works. 2. Have you filled your heart with so much jealousy that you cannot consider the possibility that one can boast of God's works in one's life and not his own works? How is it pride for showing God's grand church and how is it humility for saying God's blessing one's gambling in stock market?
The summary of the lecture is on the 5 points of Church Revival,
Revival of:
1. Doctrine
2. Epistemology
3. Work & Ethic
4. Service-ministry
LAST but not least
5. Preeminence of Christ (Cultural Mandate based on Christ)

Considering yesterday's sermon at Redeemer, by Tim Keller:
Naman's way of living after conversion "2 Kings 5:2-3; 15-27".
Keller called it a good example. I must respond, then why would Naman ask for forgiveness for going to the temple of Rimmon? (v. 18).
The two extremes are perfectly understandable and agreeable: not to be scoffing fanatic nor selfishly antisocial, but they do not justify cowardice.
Either I was asleep or Keller forgot to expound on that particular verse which was the act of many teachers who wish to carry out their own points through scriptural support.
Will be sold in Brookstone in October for about $100. Virtual keyboard that fits in keychain.
Since it's optical, I wonder of the accuracy. And it may not easily rival against the new "SWIPE" input method used in Android phones.
Two weeks ago, Cardinal Dolan wrote on his blog
in response to those critics: “It’s better to invite than to ignore,
more effective to talk together than to yell from a distance, more
productive to open a door than to shut one.”

If they want to keep me in one fellowship instead of going to another, with the "excuse of" that other fellowship is dishonest (not good), then they just have to pray for that other fellowship to fail.
Pak Tong said that it requires great patience for him to keep answering the same questions.
I must also always be patient in giving the same answer to the SAME person (repetitively).
A very good free anti virus. It is, in my opinion, better than Avira Antivir.
Ironically, it is from Microsoft. And there is a security built-in to check validity of genuine Windows system before installation.
There is a way to by pass it (ps: if after successful installation, the program itself calls for another validation, run the registry below again and the validation should pass. However, when it keeps requiring this on every reboot, I DENY 'System' full control in the registry on ...localmachine/software/microsoft/windows NT/current version & /wpa..., but 'System' can read. The outcome is slower login, but it works.):
Basically, install the antivirus program in offline mode, after installing this registry (create in notepad and save file with extension *.reg):
