My Journal

Well, it seems that I've so much to criticize about America; it is only fair that I talk about some good quality America still has left.

Greatest President of America: Abraham Lincoln. One whom I see to have valued God over men.

James Carter, eventhough I have never heard his sermon, his enthusiasm in serving God is encourageable.

Museums, Metropolitan Museum, great values. Showing respect and treasure of priceless quality of human history.

However, I am neither a friend nor an enemy to this country. Never. For I serve the Kingdom of God. Not of men. There is no such thing as submitting to the will of this country and submitting to God at the same time. The Bible never promotes democracy. The Bible emphasises on Theocracy. As Abraham Lincoln wisely put it: Not that God stood on our side, but we stand on God's side. Many don't see this, they thought this could still be possible while serving the Kingdom of God. Because they couldn't let down the pride they have. They couldn't tell the difference. They thought Jesus was saying "Not just according my will, but by Your will", the disaster is inevitable. What they would gain in their curiousity, will be lost in their pride. Wake up! Sleep no more.

If someone is to argue that this country is the top of the world, I would reply that this could be the last Babel.

Not well prepared...Not enough. I'm not so well versed in the Mandarin Language. My English is many times stronger.

To succeed, I must work in preparation more than others would.

More works would be required in other languages than I would in English.

Languages aside, I need to focus on linking materials to materials. Making systematic categorized narration. And fluency of speech hence the mirror training.

Q: According to your opinion, why is this so?

Tim: Well, for one thing, many christians have not read the Bible thoroughly. In this case, the book of Ephesians. And so, concluding certain ethics and apologetics according to their own fallible reasoning, due to lack of Biblical knowledge. And then when they later found those verses which claim contradiction to their original beliefs, very few repented, the rest would try to find other means of reasoning around the scripture, because to them, repenting what they previously believed was true, would undermine their entire faith.

Q: So what will happen to them?

Tim: God has God's plan. I don't know. But I do not believe this will affect their salvation. However, such use of freedom to deny certain scriptures would give God the right to have judgement upon them.

Well, Timothy! You need to know, word of God, you live with it, you live by it![@more@]

Do not encourage non-christians to serve the Lord our God.

Because THOU SHALT NOT TEMPT GOD!

You are betraying God by corrupting the sanctified priesthood which is given to every child of God: Bringing non-christians before God not for cleansing but for mixing idolatry in the house of God.

The Western world has been so blinded it is facing it's sorrowful moment unknowingly.

Satan moves cunningly and trickily. So now there exists two groups of blindness.

1. Those who couldn't see Satan's movement, thinking that they would recognize it when it is announced first, as if Satan would announce or remind you that he is the devil before tempting you. Therefore, these people would rather avoid acknowledging anything sinful as long as it's not the kind of evil they think. Thereby accepting the wolves into the flock. And use the excuse "we must be wise" to avoid any conflict.

2. Those who couldn't see Satan's movement, knowing that Satan is very cunning. Thus, they would go around hating everyone.

Both groups are extremists.

The english has a saying "Preferring lost to unjust gain" 宁可吃亏，不贪便宜.

From the Biblical examples, we, learning to submit to God, must know that suferring lost is harder to learn than bearing tribulation. In chinese, 吃亏, has a much deeper meaning than the english word "lost". For this kind of lost is a lost usually caused by one person against another. This kind of lost is usually unexpected. Literally translated being "to eat deficiency". To eat, is worse than suffer.

As Dr. Stephen Tong once put "吃亏比受苦更难".

To server God, I must be willing in this, even so.

My God, My God, you are my molder. Mold me what tools you like. Sanctify me, mold me. Whatever you please. Use me for however long, I am willing; use me for a few seconds, I am also willing. But please use me, my Lord.

Amen.

After recognizing what Dr. Tong has said about Mel Gibson being one great artist, I would like to take another tour around the Metropolitan Museum of Arts. The theme being 'Crucifixion'.

This will go into Reviews.
