FAST! FAST! FAST! (全聚德烤鴨)

"中外馳名的北京全聚德烤鴨，向來標榜著「木柴、爐火、懸掛」，不過隨著全聚德股票上市、衝刺連鎖化經營，未來消費者吃到的，可能是電子烤爐所烤製的烤鴨。這項消息傳出後，引發各界譁然。輿論憂心，北京烤鴨的傳統文化將日漸式微。"

Some comments:

"這樣一來" 全聚德"這家招牌也可以拆了，反正買台電烤爐就行。"

風從何道來

「風從何道來，骨頭在懷孕婦人的胎中如何長成，你尚且不得知道，這樣，行萬事之神的作為，你更不得知道。」（傳11:5）

翻譯成「風」的希伯來詞，同樣可譯成「靈」。

如果翻譯成「靈」的話，這節經文將會有另一層新的含義。

任何事──從風的路徑到物質世界的一些最普遍的現象，包括我們自己在母腹裡的成長過程，
想起來都讓人感到神秘莫測，肅然起敬。
Even today, 對於胎兒在母體內的成長，我們也是所知甚少，還有許多超乎我們的認知範圍。

What a quote!!

"聖誕節的本質不是狂歡，不是五光十色，聖誕節的本質是「愛」。"

神愛我們的心，我們也知道也信。神就是愛；住在愛裡面的，就是住在神裡面，神也住在他裡面。（約一4:16）

撒迦利亞頌


*** 撒迦利亞頌 ***

67他父親撒迦利亞被聖靈充滿，就預言說：

68主—以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的！
因他眷顧他的百姓，為他們施行救贖，

69在他僕人大衛家中，
為我們興起了拯救的角，

70正如主藉著古時候聖先知的口所說的，

71他拯救我們脫離仇敵，
脫離一切恨我們之人的手。

72他向我們列祖施憐憫，
記得他的聖約，

73就是他對我們祖宗亞伯拉罕所起的誓，

74-75叫我們既從仇敵手中被救出來，
就可以終身在他面前，
坦然無懼用聖潔和公義事奉他。

76孩子啊，你要稱為至高者的先知；
因為你要走在主的前面，為他預備道路，

77叫他的百姓因罪得赦，認識救恩；

78因我們上帝憐憫的心腸，
叫清晨的日光從高天臨到我們，

79要照亮坐在黑暗中死蔭裡的人，
把我們的腳引到和平的路上。

路加福音1:67-79

Tis the season!!!


posted by SasaSam @ 2:47 PM 0 comments

WOW...wk

A quick posting:

Main Theme:
The theme is about Jesus's Role and He's Done Great things for us!!

StartUp Point
To start it out, we played a quick "Guess what Occupation This Is" interview by having 2 or 3 volunteers (students) to explain away what this "occupation" (written on an Index Card) is.
The point is to bring out Jesus's role as denoted in Psalm 72: 1-19.

Tune Game
Later, we had a "Name-The-Tune" contest on the hymns;
We had the following pieces:
1) Holy! Holy! Holy!, 2) Awesome God, 3) Amazing Grace,
4) It Is Well, 5) When I Survey / Old Rugged Cross, 6) Rock Of Ages,

Those hymns were carefully chosen from Accappella (singing without any instruments) - by choice and design from teacher to make the recognition abit of challenging. :))
(and To my surprise, the students DID experience some challenges!)
Result? Girls won! (3 vs. 2 points against Boys)

Then we went on to each hymn to expand on Jesus's role; for instance, Rock Of Ages, points out the fact that Jesus is our fortress, and protection. Amazing grace - how sweet that is - to bring us the salvation... You get the idea.

Quick.Check-Application
To help students self-reflecting on the message,
I showed them 14 to 15 slides (attached images/pictures) on the "Carrying your own Cross" skit or talk-n-show.

Basically, it intends to encourage students to follow Jesus's footsteps as a follower without compromising His calling.

An interesting question was asked from the floor:
Q: Cannot the guy (who is the main character - you'll see once you read the slide) borrow the "cross" from others?
Answer: Nope- salvation is for individual - you get to carry your own cross when it comes to your personal faith journey.

To Drive Home:
Let's play a quick drawing game: Author(or Creator), Mediator, and Painter (us - you and I).

Three groups were formed. Each group is to complete a drawing as followed:
The way to play is to have Painter draw what Mediator told them to sketch out based on input from Author.

What's the point?
==> He (Jesus) is our Mediator between the Father and us.

Closing in prayer as we thank our Lord for being a God of infinite variety and creation!!!

WOW verses:
Monday: 1 Corinthians 15: 56-57
Tuesday: Ephesians 1:18-21
Wed.: 2 Corinthians 12:9
Thursday: Romans 5:6-8
Friday: Acts 10: 37-38
Saturday: John 14: 6

Next week? It's be a new "KCIC"ing session!

Soaring gas price, and now milk?

"除了汽車和平面電視，牛奶已成為新的獲利來源。除了有豐富的蛋白質，還是嬰兒奶粉、巧克力、冰淇淋、乳酪、含牛油烘烤品的原料。經濟學家估計，每年須增加相當於紐西蘭一年的牛奶產量，才足以應付目前的需求。"

http://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POE0022/128460/web/#3L-2318155L

more posting,
"上漲的牛奶價格也加速全球性的通貨膨脹，令人懷疑是否有幕後操手。南非、德國、美國政府都開始調查乳製品的價格問題。對於生產者來說，牛奶價格上漲不全然代表獲利。牧場收入增加了百分之二十四，但是增加的出口量、房地產市場，都造成紐西蘭的通貨膨脹。因此，中央銀行的基準利率增加了百分之八點二五，造成二十二年來，紐西蘭幣對美元的新高。外銷牛奶價格換回紐西蘭幣時，獲利減少；紐西蘭的出口成長也造成勞工短缺、薪資上揚，土地負擔更大，回應出口需求時，反而受到傷害。 "

"就美國而論，家庭破裂已成了天字第一號的社會問題..."

Agreed? (Matter of fact, for any society with broken down family as the fundamental unit - troubles are ahead in sight).
