Pastoral Retreat

Just came back from the retreat. It was great to spent time praying, discussing and learning about each other and our ministries. Our bible reading is great; TW’s cooking is awesome; Playing "snakes and ladders" with Andrew is, errr…… inspiring.

I am really thankful to serve the Lord with brothers like you. May the Lord continue to guide each one of us in our ministries, our familes and our own lives. It is amazing to see how God called and put us in MGC at different stages, I am excited to see what’s next!

For the next few days…

I will attend our pastoral staff retreat for the next few days at Fair Havens. Blogging will resume on Wednesday.

Pray for us as we will take a lot of time praying, seeking and discussing the future and direction of MGC.

恩言

「你們中間會有分黨結派的事,這是必然的,為的是要使那些經得起考驗的人顯明出來。」
(林前11:19)

Please take the time and pray for Nigeria

Religious riots sparked by the publishing of cartoons of the prophet Muhammad continued into their fifth day in Nigeria as Christian mobs in this southern city attacked Muslim motorists, leaving at least 22 dead. Nationwide, the toll was at least 65 dead and likely to rise.

The Christian Association of Nigeria issue this strong statement on the 21st with phrase like "C.A.N. may no longer be able to contain our restive youths should this ugly trend continue", I hope and pray this will not be interpreted as a Christian warrant to start violence and killing people.

Please take some time and pray for Nigeria.  

————————————

Lord, I can’t imagine how Christians can start killing other people, no matter what the circumstances are. But Lord, I also can’t imagine what these Nigerian Christians are going through right now when their churches are built to the ground; when their relatives, brothers and sisters in Christ are killed every day. I don’t know how to pray for them Lord, please forgive me, it can’t even describe it. Holy Spirit, please speak to them, comfort them, guide them. Help them Lord, from being conquered by evil but conquer evil with good. Hear me, Lord. In your name I pray, Amen.

Theology of Kissing

Ben has a humorous post on the theology of kissing.

And you think theologian can’t be creative!

Who is N.T. Wright?

Annie asked the other day who N.T. (Tom) Wright is. I think it is best for her or any of you interested to go through my previous posts about him.

Also worth reading is a chinese introduction from fes.org.hk last year. 

Update: 
Thanks Anson for his summary and suggestions.
