Today in Bible Study, I brought up the case which Jesus preached
\nbefore 5000+ in open. It is not easy because our Lord needed to raise
\nHis voice to a unimaginable point, such as George Whitefield preaching
\nbefore 80,000 without microphone.<\/p>\n
There is one in our midst who believed otherwise because of the hills around causing echos.<\/p>\n
I
\nfailed to mention that echos are not good aid for amplification. Any
\nconcert musician would know this. To view it by contradiction: if echo
\nis good, why do we need microphone in a four walls or indoor
\nenvironment?<\/p>\n
And I remember another time, where I was in a
\ncontroversial talk with another, regarding worship and serving. I also
\nskipped too far ahead, missing the bull's eye.<\/p>\n
The point is, languages are like symbols. Wisdom is required to discern the truth of the matter.<\/p>\n
I
\nsee that it is important in every confrontation, I must first be well
\nprepared, and then, when confronted, I must not be carried away by the
\nopponent's way of thinking. I must tackle on their understanding of
\ntheir own speech, because usually, the confrontation comes from their
\nabuse of terms, languages, misunderstanding of even their own ideas.<\/p>\n

On one hand, it is my own lacking in preparation in studying the word of God. I have been stopping from time to time due to work.<\/p>\n
The Holy Spirit is rebuking me. I hate myself. May Christ deliver me from this corruption. Let me serve the Lord with the help of the Lord.<\/p>\n
Then, thanks be to God, for I see more now. I have learned this now.<\/p>\n
I also learned that certain hardship is really hard to swallow. Especially being cheated, ripped off. For these often come from co-workers, brothers and sisters in Christ. This time I learned from experience, which is different than just hearing it. Although, the experience also included some of my own faults, mostly due to laziness, therefore not well-prepared to confront daily challenges. Nonetheless, I believe the blessing of learning is better to come from, if experience, one that is without one's own fault. Which is possible as well. Just as my Lord had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
