我们若想回答上个星期的问题，我们必需先从两个名词先着手。第一个，“大众式的基督教”（Popular Christianity），和第二个，“知识式的基督教”（Intellectual Christianity）。什么是“大众式的基督教”？这是一种跟风式的基督教信仰。人怎么说，那人就怎么做。例如，当有个非信徒听到有信徒告诉他说：“信基督教很好！信了一定有平安！”那人就因着需要找平安而信了耶稣。这样信耶稣不是错！而是那人若只因为信了耶稣找到了平安，之后不读经，不祷告，也不参加崇拜，这人的信仰是经不起考验和挑战的。当有一天他感觉不到平安后，他可能就会离开信仰，到别处去寻找他要的平安。这样的人是个“大众式的基督徒”。他不知所信的是什么，只是跟风。但第二种的基督徒就不一样了，他是“知识式的基督徒”。这样的信徒深知他所信的是什么。他的信仰和人生能经得起外面的大风大浪。对这样的人来说，基督教绝对不是迷信。上帝是又真又活的信仰，虽然肉眼不见上帝，这人却深知自己所信的什么。你希望成为一个“知识式的基督徒”吗？这一点也不难！你只是需要常常阅读圣经和属灵书籍，不要认为信主之后就等同买了一张通往天堂的机票，信主之后什么都不理。此外，参加教会的主日学也是一个很重要的环节。我们能从主日学中学习更多有关我们信仰的知识，并对上帝有多一点的认识。那么你的信仰也因此更加的坚固。希望这篇段文能够激励大家常常读经和祷告，并参加教会的主日学，成为一个“知识式的基督徒”，让我们的信仰有根有基，破除信仰的迷信。

破除迷信1
想问问大家一个问题，“宗教是否是一种的迷信？”若你说是，那基督教也一个宗教，那么基督教也是一种的迷信了。但我想大致上的基督徒不会同意基督教是一种迷信吧。可是另一方面你若回答不是的话，试着想想圣经是如何诠释“信心”？信心是基督教信仰核心的课题。若问大家什么是信心的话，我们立刻能想到的就是希伯来书１１：１来回应我。“信心是一个看不见，但却深信所信的的存在”，那么若基督教的信心是这样的，我们的信仰不就成为迷信了吗！因为我们的上帝是看不见的，也无法在实验室里被验证的。那么，基督教就成了迷信的宗教了吗？我们该怎么办？我们该怎么回答这个问题？先让大家想想，下个星期才回答大家。

Roots
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. (Colossians 2.6, 7)
Roots have two functions. First they help to absorb nutrients and water. Second, they help to keep the tree upright. These two phenomena have spiritual parallel. As we dig deep into the Word of God, we will be able to absorb the spiritual nutrients and refreshment in order for us to grow into healthy trees where we can bear fruit of godly character. As we dig deep into the Word of God, it will also give us resources to stand upright in the midst of the storms and typhoons that can hit us suddenly. Many trees are usually uprooted during such natural disasters because the roots are just not deep enough to weather the fierce impact of those winds. You see, you cannot wait for the disaster to happen then you start growing your roots – too late! You must grow your roots steadily over time so that when it hits you, you won’t have to fear toppling over. Dig deep into the Word of God!

Are we plugged into the Holy Spirit?
Are we plugged into the Holy Spirit? We should if we have the Spirit living inside us. Yet how is it that some of our lives are as dark as those of the world? Aren’t we supposed to be the light of the world? Think of a very dark room, even if the light source is small, light can never be overwhelmed by darkness. Agree? And the first thing that will catch a person’s attention if he or she is in that room will be that light. Are we living our lives so that they catch peoples’ attention (of course in a good way) or are our lives no different from the world’s so much so that we merge nicely with the rest? If we are the latter, maybe the Spirit is not in us!

Crucifixion
The thing about crucifixion is that it produces death not suddenly by gradually. When we say that our sinful nature has been crucified on the cross, that sinful nature does not die suddenly. It is not immediately destroyed and we will not succeed in completely destroying it while we are on this side of heaven. Nonetheless, as long as we have fixed it to the cross and we are determined to keep it there, it will expire. The goal of the war against the sinful nature is final execution. It may be a slow death but it should die eventually. This is what sanctification is all about – becoming more and more like our Lord Jesus Christ, being transformed into His likeness as we embark on this journey of faith. If we don’t see that happening in our lives or if we don’t even have the desire to see that happening in our lives, maybe the sinful nature is no longer affixed to the cross! Did the sinful nature manage an escape? If so, I will be terribly concern!!!

Why do we detest seat belts?
Recently, there has been a number of accidents where people were badly hurt or even died because they were not buckled up. I guess we don’t quite like seat belts because they are restrictive – they restrict our movements, curtail our freedom and we feel stifled. Yet they serve a very important function. They protect us from being flown out of the car or from any form of concussion whenever we are involved in an accident. Yes, seat belts restrict us in order to protect us.
Likewise, we always think that God’s laws are very restrictive. They curtail our freedom and they stifle our adventurous nature. I hear some people put up such a defence: God’s laws DO NOT serve to restrict. They serve to protect. My response: God’s laws DO serve to restrict and I will not apologise for that but they serve to restrict in order to protect. Given our sinful nature, we need God’s laws to rein us in. Otherwise, we will have a natural inclination to pursue evil to the detriment of both body and soul.

让我们“去”吧！
我在当兵的时候有一位的回教朋友问我一个问题，“为什么耶稣需要道成肉身住在人中间呢？”当时我对他的答案是，神是为了要体恤人类的痛苦和为了人的罪而来。可是我的答案对我回教朋友而言是完全不符合逻辑的。因为站在回教神学的角度来看，一个全能的神是无需贬低自己来了解人类的痛苦，因为既然神是全能的，是全知的，所以他一定能够知道甚至体恤人类一切，也能在一声令下把所有人类的罪洗尽，也无须死在十架上。因此若耶稣的动机是为了体恤民情和赦罪的话，耶稣就不是上帝，因为他所行的是多此一举。当时他的回应把我击倒了。之后我一直找寻一个满意的答案但找了几年都找不到，直到念神学后才明。答案其实很简单，原来人类所知道的一切都只是现象，在现象以外的本体不是人们理性所能了解的，所以福音的本体就是耶稣。因此当耶稣这个的“道”来到人间时，是要向人表现神最高，最真实性的启示，也就是使人真正了解“道”与“爱”的本体。如果耶稣不这么行的话，人类只能永远知道现象而不可能真正的认识本体（耶稣或真道）。所以耶稣来不只是为要了解人类的痛苦那么简单，而是为了突破人知道的范围，让人类能够真正的认识真神。耶稣“去”为了让人认识他。那么这对我们有什么学习呢？有些教会有个不整全的布道神学，他们认为传福音一定要“去”（太28：19），而这个“去”的布道法一定要作街头布道，而不能使用其他的方法。即使街头布道的效率低，此方法始终是不能换的，因为此法才合乎圣经。我并非小看街头布道法，而是信方法可以圆滑，而且从整个教会的历史来看，我们看见上帝一直允许信徒以多元化的方法发展教会。而马太福音中的“去”这个字是个观念但并非方法论，换句话说不是只有街头布道才合乎圣经。传福音的方式、地点、听众因时代的原故在改变，所以基督徒需要灵活的把福音传给人。注意！方法可以变，可是福音的本质是不可改变的。这个字“去”表示基督徒应当有积极行动把福音传开，我们需要知道非信徒是不会自动走进教会来听福音。信徒是需要把道带给他人的！如果信徒不主动，不行动，非信徒将永远不能听闻福音。请你想想，若不是基督的“去”，世人是不能认识他的。若不是使徒们的“去”，以色列和欧洲地带的人们就不能认识耶稣。若不是欧洲伟大的宣教士“去”了东南亚一带，我们也不能认识耶稣。弟兄姐妹你们愿意“去”吗？现今还有许多人没有听闻福音，信徒若不去传，他们怎能认识耶稣。历代以来，许多伟大福音的使者都“去”了，你愿意吗？我也希望将来也会有人将你们伟大“去”的行动写下，成为后人的勉励。

On evolution
The debate on evolution is about macroevolution. Most theists have no problems believing in micro-evolution. But to argue that man and other primates are descended from the same ancestor gives many the creeps. It is unfortunately sad that many do not know enough about evolution and the doctrine of creation to decide for themselves what they choose to believe. For example, have you ever heard of theistic evolution? But whatever your stand, I firmly believe that the right way forward is to have a proper understanding of the issues.
In that regard, I highly recommend that you are familiar with the modern evidences for Macroevolution, because the theory of evolution has come a long LONG way from Darwin. At the same time, be learned about the true controversies surrounding evolution, and be knowledgeable but highly careful about the intelligent design arguments.
There is nothing wrong with believing by faith. But it should always be faith seeking understanding.

Where to go?
One of my favorite places to go for cell group outings is the ice-cream place. Lots of places now have the cosy and casual environment just right for cell members to unwind and to open up. Many of them can now be found in Singapore in secluded corners so that you can have your non-intrusive discussions and sharings. Here is a link just for you.

Book Recommendation : "The Biblical View of Self-Esteem, Self-Love, Self-Image" by Jay E Adams
Jay E Adams, “The Biblical View of Self-Esteem, Self-Love, Self-Image”, Harvest House Publishers, 1986.
Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Familiar questions in our day and age. But has our search for answers led us too far in the wrong direction: away from our true position in Christ and toward a dangerous emphasis on self such as “self-image”, “self-esteem”, “self-worth” and “self-love”?
Now well-known biblical counselor and noted author Jay E Adams brings much-needed clarification to the area of self-esteem and offers the church and every believer a truly biblical view of self. “.…Jesus sets forth self-denial rather than self-affirmation as the way to enter into a proper relationship with God. Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it.” (Matt. 16:24-25)………”

My latest poem
I call it The Philosophy of Time, enjoy.
The days are long,
even longer than the years.
Killing time is tough,
recalling yet an instant disappear.
Allow me to count the seconds distinct,
money in the hands of a cautious cashier;
attempts yet so foolish when considered,
keeping time for moments so dear.
Keg of beer, O keg of good cheer,
ever a companion,
the friend without peer.
My latest and last poem for a long, long time. It's not hard to see why. ;)

Internet Debates
This is an interesting comic from www.xkcd.com
This is a common scenario for me. Over time, I learn to be respectful and cautious with my debates online, especially on religious issues.
I read this somewhere:
The bottom line - this is an internet discussion on a boardgame site. Little to no progress will be made, people will disagree with each other and say rude things about each other's cherished beliefs with little to no justification and a huge dose of ignorance (this goes for both sides in these sorts of debates). People will make impassioned claims based on limited, distorted experience and will dogmatically hold to their positions come hell or highwater. That's an internet discussion about religion or politics in a nutshell.

Remembering Martin Jr. King
Inspired by this.
Let's all do it.
I have a dream.
I have a dream that the church will be in unity in support of one another, and in work and evangelism to the world.
I have a dream that we can accept one another in authenticity and serve the ministries with humility and joy.
I have a dream that we will enjoy learning, and yearn to express the truth with beauty and a compassionate heart.
I have a dream that we will all work together to bring back the lost, and to cherish what we have now.
Past it on, and leave a comment if you will.
