A late night supper

By -
Just returned from a late night supper with two good friends. Discussed quite a lot of things, and eventually I dun know how and I i dun why our discussion began to touch on relationships. Maybe it's just the natural development, given that we are all around 'that age'. Then, I thought of one statement which I made to my friend previously:

'Love is the cause, effect and cure of lovesickness'

Wah, pro sia. This is just a by-the-way statement What really impressed me quite a lot in the conversation is that any guy will make any sacrifice for the one he loves. This I think is true, based on a perspective of a guy who tried to love but never actually really loved and still wants to pretend that he has loved. Come to think of it, it's really damn true. I remember one of my friends told me that being an 'aquarius', I'm a person who treasures my freedom and not wished to be tied down. But then, I did get myself tied down by 'her' and that 'entanglement' seemed ever so tightening. Wow, love really can create miracles that a person will not imagine and change a person beyond imaginable extent.

Another thing is about the difference in a guy and a girl when it comes to confessing feelings for each other. I must admit, a guy will do whatever little actions to let a girl knows that he likes her but a girl can only do one thing, which is confess straight in the face. Standing from my viewpoint, when a girl does the little actions to a guy, say giving him little presents or little appreciation notes, to a guy, he may have fantasy about that girl but a guy, unless in a case whereby fantasy takes control of reality, will always rationalise the girl's intention as just being friendly. In other words, a guy is a woodblock when it comes to such thing. But in both cases of guy and girl, the word 'pride' always plays the role of obstacles. Pride = (People rest, I do extra). Because of pride, people work extra in order to get what they want and this is exactly what happens in relationship too. Hmmm....

But then, true love creates miracles.

Believe and thy shall can.
Choose not to believe and thy shall not.

A translated phrase from the HK serial drama- Date with a vampire.

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries.

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship in Christ
