Where Are the Crackpots?

Posted on December 9, 2006 by timlyg

Crackpots or cranks are those who think they know what they are saying but in fact they don't.

These were usually outside of the accepted scholarstic community in the old days, but the ratio today seems reverse.

On Psychology

Posted on December 9, 2006 by timlyg

One would think it's good for a "patient" to continue doing what he is doing eventhough the pertaining action is not commendable, hoping that he would gradually be rid of the bad habit. An excuse would be to introduce or try to identify some "good qualities" into such bad habit.

But would it not be better if such good qualities were done in the most productive habbit? Rather than in one's devolved satisfaction?

Therefore, I have to conclude that the problem is the fear of fear itself. Fear of a little hardship, struggle, change, discipline, etc.

Societies today, not just America, failed because of one serious theological defect: Motive Theology.[@more@]

DD-WRT Radius Server

Posted on December 6, 2006 by timlyg

It used to be done on computer servers. Now, one can manage hotspot by using one of these third party firmwares loaded into the wireless routers.

DD-WRT is one of such firmware for linksys wireless router. Especially Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GL.

I have yet to test any of this.

How Important is the Source?

Posted on December 6, 2006 by timlyg

Would finding the source be enough to solve one's psychological problem? Nonetheless, his or her response to God is still the most important.

Yet identifying the soiurce might be helpful to gain a deeper knowledge. But it's merely a knowledge of how things work. Not why things work.

On Evangelism

Posted on December 5, 2006 by timlyg

Testimonies which blame others rather than oneself, are garbage testimonies. More than often, I've heard such everywhere, Bible study, baptism ceremony, sharing, etc.

They're always in this form: Oh how others are treating me, how others are hurting people, then when I come to church, meet christians, I see how nice they are. So, I "believe" Jesus.

I do not dare say this is not a testimony. But I do dare say this is not a testimony on how one becomes a christian. How Christ changes the life of oneself from a sinner to a saint.

Now knowing this is the truth, do I break it out like wild fire? Nay, for such is the temptation of evil. So do I keep quiet? Nay, for such is the work of Satan the blockade of Truth.

Therefore, the only way is by God's wisdom, which is the combination of both His righteousness and grace. Because of His righteousness, I have the right to be angry at perverted ways, because of His grace, I cannot let myself be controlled by my anger.

Flesh VS Spirit

Posted on December 5, 2006 by timlyg

Gal 5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Gal 5:17  因为情欲和圣灵相争，圣灵和情欲相争，这两个是彼此相敌，使你们不能做所愿意做的。 

 

 The bolder I push myself to serve God, the more unworthy I find myself. It is like reading a book of critics' comments. If it is not faith, if not the Holy Spirit, how else could I go on? Thanks to God, for giving me the wisdom to discern the true nature of hypocritical path.

Invisible Persecution

Posted on December 2, 2006 by timlyg

When TRUTH is not preached in the church, one is persecuting the Truth, hence our Lord.[@more@]

Devotion Time

Posted on December 2, 2006 by timlyg

I find it extremely crucial to have an uninterrupted time for theological study of any sort.

Nevertheless, one must not give in to anger or pride when interrupted.

Something Satan would love to see.

Bitterness

Posted on December 2, 2006 by timlyg

In honesty and in patience. 

Many times we think we are suffering for God but in reality, we have been suffering for our own faults. A wise one should dicern this fine line.

 

1Pe 2:20  你们若因犯罪受责打，能忍耐，有什麽可夸的呢？但你们若因行善受苦，能忍耐，这在神看是可喜爱的。

1Pe 2:20  For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
