1/23/2023 Vos: 'Eschatology Precedes Soteriology' - Protology (pre-fall state) is Eschatological, as protology is not eternal life. ~David Tong
Lane Tipton: On incarnation (against Rome and Karl Barth): Jesus Christ did not come to solve an ontological problem given creation; but He came to solve a covenantal problem given sin.
1/21/23 Looking for a Routine/Habit tracker, but also accessible via web, not only using the app (i.e. Roubit is the one I am using) on smart phone. https://www.habitify.me/ seems to be a good one, but its free version has limitations such as 3 habits a day, 15 check-ins only, etc. I think I'll just stick to Roubit until I design my own app.
I know what cultural dish to bring to American church fellowship meal: 湯圓 - 含芝麻糊, thanks to this video below:
A pastor at MERF (Messiah Reformed NYC) once bragged that how his ministry was blessed because he knew to ask a very rich guy for money to start his ministry in NYC. The rich guy was so generous that he basically gave him a blank check. He has since justified certain kinds of lies & white lies, etc. in one of his sermon.
From this and James 5:2-4, I suppose there is a lesson to be learned: Is our source of power from God or from men? (Stephen Tong was clear on this specifically in his series on Daniel's servitude).
Came across this on facebook, and my comment:
這很簡單： 华理克說他話的目的是用他人的功勞和力量來批評美南浸信會不按立女牧師的教會。 唐崇榮說他話的目的是叫華人、亞洲人，不需要氣餒，能力是靠上帝，不是靠人。 有耳聼，就應當聼。
