Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner...
It says out loud the message of Love.

No its not about Santa,
no its not about gifts,
nor sleighs, elves, reindeers...

Its also not about man's love for his neighbours...
not about man's giving and exchanging gifts...

Its something more.
Its something much much larger.
Something infinitely more important.

Its about God's Love...
God's gift to us...
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

The One

People say that he is the One...
The One that was foretold...
The One that will bring upon the great tribulation...

But then who cares about if he's really the One or not?
It doesn't matter if he's the One...
If we do our part,
preach like how Paul preached,
(Paul preached as if the end of days was coming within his lifetime),
then we can still come to God with a clear conscience.

Jesus said,
"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows."  Matthew 24:36

No use predicting or guessing...
All we need to do is to do our part!

感恩

那天吃饭看见友人吃前先感恩祷告，我就感到惭愧。
吃饭感恩其实是在效仿基督。
耶稣每餐前都必向天父感恩。
做一个基督徒，就是跟从基督，效仿基督。
连这个最简单的‘仪式’也跟不了，
更甭说其他的了...

那些给自己借口的... 我以前也一样...
是时候放弃借口, 努力把这养成习惯了...

St. Augustine's Confessions

Had a brief 'lecture' on St. Augustine's Confessions (actually 24lectures in total).

After all the lectures, I actually think that this is a great book and will definitely go read it someday. The lectures are just an overview + some inside view of the work.

It takes a great deal of courage to confess to the world one's own sins. At least one's honest to himself. I wonder if I'd be able to be as honest and brave to confess single sin in my life...

Note: Confessions is a narrative of the life of the author and his views on life and truth.

鸡与牛

一只鸡宰了可以供二人一顿晚餐吧！
一只牛宰了可以供廿人有余的晚餐吧！
我想如果不想杀生太多，便应该多食用牛羊之类的动物吧！

（看我歪理正吗？）
