One cannot take pride in the stupidity of others.

Stupidity VS Pride

Two Kinds of Christians
There are those who come to church because they recognize the mercy of God to permit them worship; and there are those who come to church because they wish to SUPPORT christianity.
If one fails to see the difference between the two, or fails to draw a fine line between the two, one has not known the Truth well.

Nineveh
There are two types of people who saw the destruction of America.
1. Those who wish it happen quickly and go to pass.
2. Those who wish to follow God's mercy upon Nineveh. A hard lesson indeed, for it is abhorred by God to be perversed also.

Quality Over Quantity
One who has high demand over quality is bound to suffer in this world.

Is America Better?
Sometimes I wonder if America is better than the Israelites of the old testament. To come to think of it, the Israelites were better. Time and time again, they've come to God. What America is suffering from seems to be the longest disease I've ever seen.
By comparisons, the Israelites were crazy about idolatry. America? We have all kinds of religions striving to stand up while christians shut themselves inside churches. Very contrary to Jesus' last but greatest commission to His followers.

Never Give Up
Sometimes, you see people with perverted ideas trying to justify themselves.
One must never give up to fight it with the word of God. Wisdom of God. To glorify the name of God. The foundation of the Church is unshakable. Even against those perverted ones within churches.
Knowing when to rebuke, when to advise, when to comfort, when to reprove is the beauty of the wisdom.
Rebuke is not always necessary, nor is comfort. With our corrupted reasonings we have often failed at this, either rebuke or comfort, that we must truly come to the Bible, seeking after the Truth, to secure ourselves, to keep ourselves from doing the extreme.

Eat Less, Fragile?
Would eating less make us morevulnerable to cuts? slight injuries?
I could only speculate from experience.

Rev. James Hudson Taylor III
What can I say of our dear brethren?
Because his great grandfather was too great, hence he's so little? About two years ago, he's been to New York Stony Brook University to give a speech, prior to that, he held a small conference at a church nearby, we've talked. Since China is still rather "fierce" towards Christianity, Rev. J.H. Taylor III has promoted a "christian" organization allowing "christians" from all professions to come into the country, using this opportunity to preach the Gospel. I cannot discredit this action, but to call it a wise way of doing the Great Commission, I have to strongly disagree. This is nothing more than cultural commission, one that is also a must for all christians. To further call it the Great Commission, it would be an excuse. Escaping the responsibility of the kind of hardship passed down by the apostles. "We must be wise!" Please...don't make me correct the word "wise" with "timid". At that time, I felt something wrong, but couldn't clearly discern due to my great reverence towards all missionaries; took me almost a year to see things clearly. What a shame. May the mercy of the Lord never leave me.
On the contrary, Jephtha's mother was a prostitute, yet he's become one of the most important Judges of Israel.
So it is not who you are underneath; it is what you do that defines you.

Fishing in Manhattan
While I was on my way home from work around 10pm, I saw a few amigos fishing at the Bowling Green harbor. An approx. 30" blue fish on the ground caught my attention. I had to asked. It seems that this is a very good fishing spot, perhaps one of the best in NYC.
This is what I could gather from Ghana, our friendly fisherman:
Fishes: Striped Bass (30-40"), Blue Fish, snappers.
Bait: Bunker. (I supposed one could try using live bait)
Lights are not necessary.
Lines: at least 30 pound strength.
Others: Slider (If I have not mistakened, it's for the weight, allowing it to slide across the line)
As many would know, Blue fish has strong jaw and sharp teeth, strong enough to cut nylon lines. Hence, steel lining is required at the end.
Time: 7pm - 7am. (There are ships in the day time).

What Confusion the World Has Become Today
Out of motives, out of desires, it is sad to see people using the wrong terminologies to call/describe certain things; and some using some terminologies to mean something else. It is even more unfortunate to see this happening in churches.
In order to hide the motives, they were covered with sweet and cute terms so that they seem so innocent. To list a few, terms like faith, study partners, devotion partners, joy, heart, etc.
Hence, truthfulness is lacking.
It is no wonder, when Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
By trying to justify oneself's motives and desires with the wrong terminologies, iniquities nevertheless keep building up, even to a point where one is fooled by oneself. Therefore unable to help it when things get worse, the love for God, eventually wax cold. Like the seed sown into stony places.
