My Journal

I was leaving Bryant Park on recent Wednesday after an evening chess game while I saw demonstration of animal rights (http://www.nycanimalrights.com) in front of the park right in front of the seasonal fashion show which is held in the park.

I began to think, are the fashion people really after beauty? or fame? or money? If beauty, with what kind of praise? Definitely not towards God. How can one even pretend? Be it animal skins or not.

Nonetheless, beauty if good in the eyes of creation. Thus, I must be careful when I judge such. Yet, is there any loss if the fashion shows were not as they were today? When God created man, he was asked to be the master of the world. Having dominion over the creatures of the air, land and sea, yet, out of self satisfaction, mankind has abandoned their duty for their own purpose. Do they really think God exists not? Or do they use the term "god" as a symbolic call for attention?

I realized I must be more direct. I tend to use a lot of illustrations to circle around my point before I hit the point, fearing that others might not be able to grasp the sudden hit.[@more@]

AWOL, please have some disserts.

Who are they?

1. Those who keep quiet when they are not supposed to.

2. Those who voice when they are not supposed to.

3. Those who think they are wise to avoid controversies, but go for controversies when they think they know how to solve them. (For they should have humbly learned diligently the causes and solutions of each controversial issue first rather than judging it using their already existing pride.)

Why are they so "brave" in doing all these? Because it is very easy for their conscience to just disappear when things get out of hand. They are irresponsible, they are AWOL deserters. Beware of them. They are good at pretending at qualities they are not of: loyalty, faithfulness, caring, wise, etc.

I have noticed those who seem to show great deal of support in either the right or wrong are hypocritical because they soon disappear irresponsibly.

"Support" is not the same as "faithfulness".

Support is a term used by the gentiles and those who are to be cast into the fury of eternal hell, even before time.

When we come to serve, we serve God with the greatest gratitude because of the opportunity to see how God work. We are not the giver, God is the giver.

What we take is given, what we give is given.

Bible Study is not democratic discussion. Hermeneutics must be clear. Soli Deo Gloria. Not anthropocentric.[@more@]
