God is not the source of Evil

Mark 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

Why Jesus charged them that they should tell no man?

There are many of occasions such as in Mark 7:36, and many popular explanations. I believe it is also that so that these would reflect upon themselves, individually as to what they have seen. For if they publish these great works as they did in certain situations such as these, they are more of gossipers than preachers.

Nevertheless, despite their deafness towards the word of God, God's glory is spread, but no thanks to them. (Matthew 7:21)

Storm in the Sea of Galilee

As I read Mark 4, I wish to collect real photos of the storms in the Sea of Galilee.

Update (10/27/2009):

I have had this book, Holman Bible Atlas, for ages and am only finding this now. Shows I must read the books I bought.
Two images show the Sea of Galilee. One with a storm coming.

Why are Churches in Divisions

I recall someone once told me that it is because the hearts were not in one accord.

This is just an observed interpretation, not an explanation. I believe it is due to hypocrisy, over commendations, pretend (incredibly well trained to a point even one fools himself) to act nice, etc.

Everytime when someone comes up to me and say: "Tim, you play piano so well, play violin so marvelously or sing in choir so wonderfully", I would often think to myself, "Am I the only one here who seeks perfection?".

We are to serve with each other in the HOLY SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Of course, as for harsh truth, one requires the wisdom of discerning who is serving with the fear of God and therefore able to take criticisms maturely.

Predestinationism, Arminianism and ?

In different Seminary Schools, we may take courses in Predestination or Arminianism. But there appears to be one more missing, the Non-bias/Accepting Both/double standard course.

Arminian Mistakes

The Arminians make two mistakes:

1. They presume they can know who are saved.

2. They presume the Calvinists know who are not saved and that they can accuse those Calvinists of such presumption.

Worrying VS Escaping from Truth

It is better to worry than to bury one's head in the sand. For the first is pure, but the latter one carries deceit.

On Preaching

Anyone who WISHES NOT to preach to his closest reach, such as his family and closest friends, has no right to be ordained pastor or preacher.

On Traditional Hymnals

If youths in church today like not the traditional hymns, the problem is not with the music, but with the belief.
