My Journal

There are two kinds:

1. Who criticize evil and commend righteousness justly, yet directly.

2. Who loves to commend, encourage, say all positive things. Yet as a leader in dealing with evil, tends to speak behind the evil doer's back to "find supporters" under the cover of "not wanting to offend anyone".

I'm no expert. But the way I see it, the Americans have been cunningly playing the grey area of justice on monetary manipulation with foreign countries with both economic and military powers, that now they have a taste of their own medicine of sugar coated plans as if there are no catches in their own country.

Now many and I personally know at least two, who are receiving unemployment benefits in some scary amount. It would be obvious, that everyone would love to get a hold on this benefit...after all, it's legal. Scary, very scary.

Yes, some have set the rule of marrying only Christians. Nay, I shall say, if I were to marry, I would marry only the one who fears and loves God.

Anyone can say they are Christians.

But as for Americans, I would rather marry a whore than surrounding myself with idiots.

Finally, after working as a nocturnal creature especially for a client on moving the technology to a bigger space, I am beat. Now I have time to do translation for one of Dr. Stephen Tong's lecture at http://stephentongsermons.blogspot.com/.

Just got back from Oratorio rehearsal for Bach's B Minor. The Tenor group session was particularly sobering this time. I remembered most of the tunes of Cum Sancto Spiritu and I believe I could even sing the right pitch for a while after the rehearsal...until perhaps the noise of the subway messed it up. I'm sure listening to the CD will help bring back the clarity of those pitches again.

Now I go take shower...it's been three day already, hasn't it? Good thing it's winter, not much sweat.

Lately, there have been many emails circulating with images of poverties and "fourth" world countries surviving situations calling for our sympathy in order to make us more charitable, more content. These emails have no source, no identity, no credit, playing as if an unsung "worker" is urging everyone to show charity to the world.

At first I was amused, for a few seconds. Then it gets old. Then I sensed there are more hypocrites than the love of Christ. Those who ask others to do charity and do nothing of these sorts themselves are hypocrites indeed.

But I'm judging as a Christian of course. For we Christians know, if we ask/adviced/encourage someone to do something, we must ourselves in no lacking of such tasks, we must not even find an excuse in a "different, much similiar but easier" tasks as replacement or we will be in violation of not casting out the beam out of our own eye before we cast out the mote out of our brother's eye.

According to Christian Standard, having a content and charitable heart should be something of a MUST, as a least human being. It is unbiblical for these characteristics to be taught by pitying on others. It is better for these sympathizer creators to do the charitable works as an example.
