兩代對談?

臨上機前,醒各位一篇好嘢

We all agree that there are issues to be dealt with in the short history of North American Chinese church, e.g. generation gap. On the other hand, we always try our best in dealing with these issues, e.g. by accommodating or inventing new ways of resolving the problems. But as you look at this generation, it seems to me there is a gap that runs deeper than simply style of music, choice of instrument, or ministry strategy. There seems to be something more fundamental in terms of how the next generation approaches faith. First of all would you agree with that assessment?

這是加國華人教會今期的頭版專題。我說是「好嘢」,並非它內容有甚麼石破天驚。「好嘢」是因為你完全可以從這個座談會的討論中,看見兩代信徒對信仰看法的差異。而我所說的「差異」,剛剛就是他們所討論的題目:「關於真理權威的加國華人教會兩代對談」的具體表現!以至領會者臨尾也說:

Tonight’s dialogue is encouraging and much needed in our Chinese churches. I also found it to be troubling because as I listened to the four panelists here, it becomes apparent to me that we have different opinions on, for example, what is the current post-modern thought about authority. There are big differences in terms of what we see is happening. This reaffirms to me that there needs to be more dialogue in the future.

若你留心,你會看見各人怎樣的在「自說自話」、怎樣「溝而不通」。妙!

是「對談」還是「獨白」?看罷,你意下如何?

請為我們禱告

小弟將於11-28日再到巴西短宣,請為我祈禱之餘,也懇請你為Cc和Jocelyn在家的生活禱告(因我父母也會同時返港)。

故此,posts亦會大幅減少,直至二月,請留意。

心到實埋

Jocelyn假期後再返學,仲要升班。

望見佢喊到鬼咁,
做老豆的,心到實埋。

總有個原因

零晨三點,眼光光,輾轉反則,
不知其原因。

收到電郵一封,眼睛放大。
看見「原因」。

現在,
用電郵再送走了「原因」。

眼睛收細,
鼻鼾則可以加大。

God does not do waste

講道的預備

信徒或者會好奇,究竟預備一篇講章的過程是怎樣的?昨晚讀到Justin Moffatt的形容,發覺與自己的習慣甚為相似,有興趣的看到這裡一看

註:和Justin的說明一樣,這是描述自己預備講章的過程,並非教你怎樣寫篇好講章。
