拍子簿

2007-08-04T10:50:00.000-07:00

第一眼看見這本拍子簿，
已很想擁有它，但我卻放棄了。
正當我想回心轉意再進入店子買它下來的時候，
卻找不著它，我很後悔沒把它留住，很後悔...很後悔...

每次經過這店子，我總會想起它，
我卻連想進入那店子的勇氣也沒有，
我恐怕找不著它的感覺，我恐怕後悔的感覺...

有一天我不經意地再走進那店子，
我竟然看見它再次出現，
我捉緊它，我認定我不要再錯過這個機會，
我決定要買它下來，我要好好運用它，我要好好珍惜它！

一本拍子簿叫我看重每一個機會，
每次上帝給我的機會在我身邊擦過，
我感覺到嗎？我看見它嗎？我有找緊它嗎？我有珍惜它嗎？
人生會有多少個第二次機會？
機會過去或許不復返，
因為錯過的機會隨之而流到下一位願意珍惜它的手中去。

好像那個祭司和那個利未人，
他們放棄幫助那個落在強盜手中的人，
唯獨那位好撒瑪利亞人把握機會，停下來幫助他。

又好像以斯帖得了王后的位份，
就是為了現今拯救她民族的機會，
要不然，她的民族仍會從別處得拯救。

上帝呀！
求你讓我看見你給我的機會，
既然知道是上帝給予的機會，
求上帝助我用心去感受、
求上帝助我用心去行。
好叫我不會說後悔。

一個能夠與他相處的機會...
一個能夠向他表達關懷的機會...
一個能夠向他說對不起的機會...
一個能夠讓他認識上帝的機會...
一個能夠讓他建立信心的機會...
一個能夠讓我更認識上帝的機會...
一個能夠讓上帝改變我的機會...
一個能夠讓自己成長的機會...
一個能夠用恩賜事奉上帝的機會...
一個能夠禱告的機會...
一個能夠閱讀上帝話語的機會...

Shouldn't this be the attitude we Christians have towards all things?!

We are merely a care-taker.

取自5月18日明報專訊

至昨日，影視處已經收到2041個針對《聖經》的投訴。影視處於晚上發出聲明，決定不會將《聖經》送交審裁處評級。聲明指出，《聖經》是宗教文獻，亦是人類文明的一部分，歷代相傳，「這些源遠流長的宗教文獻或文學作品，並沒有違反一般合理社會人士普遍接受的道德禮教標準」。

This is only a reflection of the current state of our society: skeptical attitude, proud ego, self-centerness. What truly frustrates me is our society do not feel that our attitude is misbehaved.

識少少扮代表，這只會令人對你失去剩餘的尊敬，自己貶低自己的人格。失禮！可惜！

IMPACT

2007-05-16T00:19:00.000-07:00

Christians struggle with this question often enough that there doesn't seem to be an answer for this question....

Question: Where and how do you feel Christians can have the most impact on culture?

"Before Christians can think about having an impact on culture, we need to recognize that culture artifacts suffuse our daily lives."
Lauren Winner

"We can choose to create a compelling future. There is never simply one future being created. There are always competing futures at play. The ones that are most powerful and compelling become magnetic and create a force of human momentum. That's how movements start... And isn't this the ultimate calling of the CHurch: To create the future?"
Erwin McManus

Motivation...

2007-04-13T12:36:00.000-07:00

對一個基督徒，俾佢最大嘅推動力嚟去每日緊守基督真理，係耶穌基督十字架上嘅愛。
但對一個傳道人，另一樣俾佢推動力去繼續服事佢身邊嘅人，係佢知道佢所做嘅係能夠幫助到人。

尋晚番到屋企已經好累，但手裏攞住每個人寫上的字條，心中嘅期待令我不能入睡。
所以我就坐係床度，一張一張咁去睇我呢班可愛有趣嘅小弟弟小妹妹寫咗啲咩俾我。

每一張字條都提醒我，呢班人係神所交付我㗎！佢哋係我要努力讀書嘅原因！

a prayer that changed the world - part ii

2007-03-11T00:32:00.000-08:00

父啊！賣我的人快到了。
倘若可行，求你叫這杯離開我。
倘若可行，父啊！便叫那時候過去。

父啊！這杯能離開我嗎？
我嘅門徒唔能夠明白我。
我所愛的唔能夠支持我。
父啊！我怎能獨自承受這苦杯呢？
有人能了解我呢條路嗎？

有人能了解我呢條路嗎？

父啊，我求你的能力覆庇我。

時候到了，求你榮耀你的兒子，
讓兒子也榮耀你。
我在地上已經榮耀了你，
父啊，現在讓我在你自己面前得著榮耀。

我的父啊！如果這杯不能離開我，
一定要我喝，就願你的旨意成全。

我心尊主為大，我靈以我父為樂。

願祢的旨意成就在我身上！

a prayer that changed the world - part i

2007-03-09T11:34:00.000-08:00

我主我神，我真的是蒙大福嗎？
這事情真的要臨到我身上嗎？
我還未出嫁！我怎能懷孕呢？
從眾人眼中這唔係一個女子最大的羞辱嗎？
我真的係蒙大福嗎？
我應如何向我父親說明這事？
我主我神！這杯能離開我嗎？

有人能了解我呢條路嗎？

我主我神，我怎能夠不懼怕呢？

我主我神，這事若真的如天使所說的臨到我和我父家當中，
我求我主賜恩與我，叫我能有智慧面對所臨到我身上的。
我求我主的能力覆庇我。

如果這杯不能離開我，
一定要我喝，就願我主的旨意成全。
我是主的婢女，
我心尊主為大，
我靈以神我的救主為樂，

願主的旨意成就在我身上！

Enigma

2007-02-26T15:48:00.000-08:00

How did a wandering Galilean rabbi, crucified by Rome as an insurrectionist, become proclaimed as having risen from the dead and offered devotion appropriate only YHWH, first by Jews and then by multitudes of thousands?

當你將啲嘢反轉嚟睇

2007-02-17T00:40:00.000-08:00

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

係充滿問題、疑惑的？
係帶著期望、肯定的？
係抱著怨恨、不憤的？

Are you letting go your will in order to "accommodate" God's will?
Are you having to sacrifice your wish for God to fulfill His?

OR

Are you lost and don't know how to make a decision?
Are you simply tired and give up on your dreams.

OR

did you fall into this trap...

Worship Question

2007-01-16T22:11:00.000-08:00

Good friend Alan started a dialog on this question, what is your input?

Do we gather to worship, and disperse to evangelize;
or do we gather to evangelize, and disperse to worship (with our lives)?

Rehearsal

2007-01-05T00:28:00.000-08:00

As Koinonia Evangelical Church begin our weekly Sunday Worship, we require each worship to be rehearsed because we seek to do the best before God.

But as a worshiper, we also recognize that our worship is not only the 2 hours on Sunday morning. Rather, it is as apostle Paul said, our whole life.

If this is so, should we not live every minute of our life with an even higher standard and sense of conscientiousness?

a privilege

2006-12-21T15:18:00.000-08:00

priv･il･ege |ˈpriv(ə)lij|
noun
a special right, or advantage granted or available only to a particular person or group of people

The Lord had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you..."
God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!"
God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth...to a virgin..."Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people."

when God comes in contact with human life, that is a privilege!

Imago Dei

2006-12-04T19:09:00.000-08:00

「神說：“我們要照著我們的形象，按著我們的樣式造人；使他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜，以及全地，和地上所有爬行的生物！” 於是，神照著自己的形象創造人；就是照著他的形象創造了人；他所創造的有男有女。」

創世記 1:26-27

當我們知道我們是照著神的形象被造時，
其實對我們有著什麼意義？
背後還代表着更深層的知識嗎？

"because God is the Continuous Outpourer, we bear his image as continuous outpourers... [this] means that we were created to act the way God acts,"
Unceasing Worship, Harold W. Best

但你真的知道神是一個怎樣的神嚒？
你的生命能不停地流露出神的形象、神的樣式嗎？
你所流露的生命能感染人的嗎？
你的生命是一個具感染力的生命！！這並不是因你做得好而別人讚賞，也不是因你所做的能大大地感動別人。只是因你所做的每個選擇、每個決定，都是一個能影嚮別人的表現！

"it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"
Upton Sinclair

有時間睇了一套想睇好耐的電影 ﹣
an inconvenient truth 。
一套有關 Global Warming 的真實記錄片。
主修地理的我，當然對這題目大感興趣！

但對我印象最深刻的並唔係大自然嘅破壞，
而係當中所引用嘅其中這一句話。

有些人對某些事情係無法明白的，唔係因為佢蠢，亦唔係因為佢知識少。只是因為佢自已心所看重的和眼目所集中的，令佢無法明白做人處事嘅原則。可悲！

尋晚忽然有衝動攞番我暑假係Regent上堂時睇過嘅書出嚟睇。
事因尋日維真書局減價，而我買咗幾本關於祈禱、及屬靈操練的書。
但係就搵唔到更多有關崇拜嘅新書。所以就攞番本書出嚟再睇。

對上次睇時唔係好仔細，趕住趕住睇完可做功課。
有好多本來想繼續諗深啲嘅嘢都變咗冇時間諗。
本期待有機會反睇，今終於有機會。

Unceasing Worship . Harold M. Best

Worship is the continuous outpouring of all that I am, all that I do and all that I can ever become in light of a chosen or choosing god. (p.18)

We are, every one of us, unceasing worshipers and will remain so forever, for eternity is an infinite extrapolation of one of two conditions: a surrender to the sinfullness of sin unto infinite loss or the commitment of personal righteousness unto infinite gain. (p.17)

世上每一個人都係敬拜者！無論你相信耶穌與否，你都係一個敬拜者。因你有所相信的；例如基督徒信耶穌，你可能唔信耶穌，但你有你所相信的。你冇可能話你冇嘢信，只係你將呢個信放係邊。

Continuous = relentlessness. 係"periodic"同"sporadic"嘅相反

Outpouring - implies lavishness & generosity: 需要give up一啲嘢。seemless, organic, consistent。

唔知你今日，11月11日上午11時正，你在做什麼？

好友Alan,以杜甫的「兵車行」和主耶穌的「主禱文」,製作了以下一套發人深省的短片.
讓我們在今日,跨出幸福生活的限制,衷心為今日這世代禱告.

Broken... but whole

2006-11-05T19:16:00.000-08:00

Disagreements
Arguments
Frustrations
Faults and blames

Lost love between a pair
Helpless friends to bear
Trapped in duty
Tied by responsibilities

A new spark
A new flame start
But the old is yet extinguished

Lust
Love
Lies
Lament

Confusion to speculations
Jealousy to hate
Deteriorating bond
Manipulative thoughts
Broken circle bond
Years of friendship tossed

Speechless

Weeks...
Months...
Years...

A glance
A word
A smile

Long for forgiveness
Eager for peace

Humble humiliation
Selfless repentance
Open reconciliation
Disbelieved acceptance
Unimaginable freedom

Mosaic of thoughts
Tapestry of feelings

Explainable only by grace
Conceivable only by love
Understandable only in God
