Why Many Church Leaders Fail

I believe it is because they do not seek outside help. And if they do, they prefer to ask those who pamper them nicely all the time, but famous.

Foolishness/Stupidity is a Sin

Mark 7:21-23

Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mar 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mar 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

On Interracial Relationship

When I walk on the streets of lower Manhattan, I see many interracial couples (usually caucasian men with asian women), sometimes as if they were wondering how people thought of them. I would never despise interracial relationship. Personally, I think there are too many chinese anyway.

New York Craigslist

Once herald to be the best free online classifieds system now has implemented severe security measures to prevent spammers. This has also effected many who use Craigslist for their honest livelihood. I wonder if there's another competition out there, now would be a good time.

Errors and Omissions Insurance

I know there are many different kinds of insurances out there and imagination is the limit. But when I first heard of "Errors and Omissions Insurance" from film director McKay regarding Franklin Graham's criticism(Page 2) on the new film Billy: The Early Years, my eyes widened a little.

Although I think Franklin could be less aggressive, I am afraid that Gigi Graham, Billy Graham's oldest child, may have leaned towards liberal doctrines. It appears that she values emotional happiness above the importance of truth. I'd rather she added: "For the truth about my daddy, you may research this, here, there, etc."

Bluetooth Stopped Working When Windows XP Loads into Desktop & LAN XP File Sharing Problem

At a client's site, after easily determining his bluetooth (wireless mouse & keyboard) problem was caused by driver conflicts, it took me a while going back and forth in Safe-Mode to learned that the culprit was the popular third party WidComm Bluetooth Software (the blue "B" icon). Uninstalled, and it works fine. Since I didn't have wire mouse or keyboard, and couldn't uninstall the program in Safe-Mode, I managed to uninstall the pertaining driver "Bluetooth Devices" in Device Manager.

Then it was the network problem. I was trying to share printer and the error: "Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced." popped up. Fix: (Since it is due to blank passwords) Go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policy->Local Policies->Security Options-> and Disable "Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only"

The other fixes were easy. And I'm done. My favourite client. He owns a Saloon called at upper east side. He even offered to cut my hair. Since he's Jewish, the name Zohan kept running across my head when I reached his shop.

Pastor's Job

A pastor's job is to teach people to be holy. Not the other way around.

On Digression

I have a theory: when some speakers, preachers, fellowship leaders, go off topics, that shows that they are bothered by some huge issues in their personal lives more than simply unprepared or unqualified for the main subject of speech.

Colbert's Interview with Rick Warren

After coming across Colbert's interview with Rick Warren, while searching for the recent popular Presidential (Obama & McCain) Forum hosted by Rev. Warren, author of the popular "Purpose Driven Live" (Though personally I think it's more of a 40 minute read rather than 40 day), I thought Stephen Colbert was more than just a comedian. Then I remembered, he is actually a Catholic Sunday School teacher.

I wonder if Pastor Rick knew that, because when he was challenged by Colbert on Biblical issues, to avoid the challenge, his response was "Who are your writers?".

Many times when we do our works for God, we look down on new faces. And when we have just learned to esteem others (Philippians 2:3), we are often disappointed. Then there is a lesson to be revealed, not to encourage distrust, but to better oneself in both wisdom and love.

On Criticism

Criticism is a God given ability. How we use it, is another matter. If such gift to judge is used as a form of false accusation, then
it is to be condemned.

However, for a true criticism, there are two kinds:

1. One that points the way to perfection.

2. One that is done to prevent others from reaching perfection.
