Need to find a way to change the timeout value of this plog admin-post.
Sometimes I think pLog is just about the worst blogware one could find...

Is it possible to understand Ancient Time better by extrapolation of this world?

"You don't always get what you want" Remembering what Shella once told me. Yes, very common line, very popular. But such is one of the many quarks which runs through my mind in my struggling to be obedient to God, through suffering.
What worth are my tears, if they die with the world?
Time to let go, the things I once held dear.
Take away my fears and make me bold.
What worth are my tears, if they die with the world?
For three times Thou have shed for Thy fold,
Understood have I, the tears from Thy pains?
Not from Thy sorrows, but for Thy poor saints.
Show me Thy way, for Thou art my light.
Teach me, for Thou art my salvation.
Guide me, for Thou art my shepherd.
Make my solitary into Thy refuge for me.
In Thy Cross, in Thy Cross, be my glory ever.
Amen.

In the recent hard disc crash,
I had a back-up for most of my files. Some of the files on a back-up
drive was somehow avoiding me with an “Access Denied” even though I was
logged in as the Administrator (or Administrative Rights). While asking
around for help, a member from the Team Macromedia suggested me to google for the same. I finally got the solution on How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP.
Here are the steps in quickie mode

15、请问唐牧师，你对“禁食祷告‘的看法是什么呢？
答：禁食以后大吃，那不叫禁食，那个叫做“等以后吃”；禁食时不祷告，不叫“禁食祷告”；只祷告不禁食，也不叫“禁食祷告”。那禁食祷告是什么？
第一、“禁食”是表示我不依靠食物，我要更专心依靠上帝。
第二、“禁食”不是要建立功劳，是要完全领受神的功劳。
所以禁食不是建立功劳，是要废除人的功劳。这是基督教禁食和其它宗教不同的地方。所有其它的宗教都以为禁食以后人就更有功劳，基督教是在禁食中间否定人
的功劳，更多依靠上帝。所以禁食祷告就是——把我对吃饭的依靠，吃饭得到的供应，吃饭所用的时间都带到神面前来，更多依靠他，更多仰望他，
这个叫做禁食祷告。
第三、圣经没有明文规定禁食祷告需要多长的时间，也没有说明到底共有哪些事情需要禁食。
所以有好几次我感到争战特别大的时候我就禁食。但是我妈妈和我不同，我妈妈自己规定每一个礼拜天早晨她不吃饭，她每个礼拜天清早起来就为全世界所有要站
讲台的牧师、传道祷告。我又发现她这么做了二十多年还不够，后来连礼拜——她也不吃？说：“妈妈，你为什么不吃？”“因为每个礼拜一我为我五个孩子奉献作
传道祷告。”这是我母亲的习惯，和我不一样的。

Of course it's against the Bible's teaching. There's no need to argue about it. Just like stealing, killing, etc.
But America's freedom law is based on the fact that as long as you're not hurting anyone, it is okay. It doesn't matter if you are doing something God doesn't like. Because the American god is the god that likes everything as long as it doesn't hurt people.

Science is the categorization of knowledge through the research of wonders and principles hidden within the operation of God created nature, using the reasoning power and intellect within us given by God. -Dr. Stephen Tong.
My English translation.
科学是人用上帝给人的理性与智能当作工具去研究上帝创造的大自然奇妙的安排及各样的定律所产生出来分门别类一科—科的学问，所以科学是一科一科的学问。
[@more@]The Western culture has not much experience in spiritual matters in ancient times, hence such verses are expounded in more details by Chinese commentators.[@more@]
Eventhough some would attribute Hollywood's Superman, taken from comics, to Nietzsche's Overman. But it is hard to deny that all these superheros notions are at some level inspired by his conception. Nietzsche thought he could raise his nose above christianity by this notion of his.
Will to Power.
In fact, as noted by Dr. Tong, such phrase is merely a plagiarism from the Bible. Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
When one realizes this, one could see, no matter how much hollywood effects are bestowed to these films, one could see a great flaw, eternity but not really eternity, hopeful but actually limited.
The film Superman Returns is yet to come, but it will prove my point. As Batman Begins has. It could have great quotes, dramatic effects (After all, men are created in the image and likeness of God), but in the end, we see the actual strength could only come from God. The true and only everlasting sovereignty. The glory of men is nothing but a mere mixture of the corrupting of the likeness of God with the desires of men. Seeking eternal glory which is actually of God, but would never reach it because of the lustful desires of men's hearts.
We christians must be active. The power within comes from the Holy Spirit.
Here's what I have summarized from the film Batman Begins:

It's not about what movie you watch, it's about how you interpret the movie that matters.

The past, the love of flesh, sometimes comes to haunt us, tempt us. Males or females. Lost love, love sick, jealousy, loneliness, these will invite temptations. The men will look for pleasure of flesh, the women will look for pleasure of fantasy.
It is through the perseverance of the Holy Spirit within us that strengthen us against such. Therefore prayer is important, so are the things we do each day.
It goes to as simple as this, things we once loved doing versus things we are lazy to do but that are good for us. Soon, we started to doubt the things which are profitable for us, and the temptation turns into desire and into sin.
It's much worse if we try to rationalize them, falling into more confusion unknowingly.
Bottom line is, if one is doing the right thing, his/her mind is very clear and in peace, thankful to the Lord for such grace.
