The content of this post actually came up around 2 weeks ago at the dining table with Vivian… First we have the Dan Brown‘s Da Vinci Code, where Jesus married to Mary Magdalene the “Holy Grail”, had kids before he was crucified on the cross, and Jesus’ descendants moved to France to form their own [...]

感謝環球聖經公會的Jack弟兄從新加坡寄給了我一份他們出版的『眾裡尋它-如何選擇聖經中譯本』 。 I requested that booklet in late December, and it finally appeared in our mailbox last week, although I later found the online version on their website as well. The title of the booklet suggests that it is about how to choose the right Chinese Bible translation, although the content is more about how [...]

ESV Blog responded their experience of getting dugg in the weekend. Quite an insightful post on Christian blogs, as well as blogs written by Christians. Even if you don’t consider your blog a ministry, it serves as one. And, as we found out, you never know when one of your posts will become popular or [...]

Went to City Bible Forum yesterday, and Malcolm Williams from FEVA gave a talk with an excellent title: “Why Materialism Is One of The Best Things about Christmas”. I love the title because it gets in your face and is controversial — Christians have been preaching for ages that Christmas is not about shopping, exchanging [...]

I was listening to net@nite episode 2 with Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte on my way to work last week. They were discussing a new service, MyFinalParty.com, a website that helps you to plan “not only your funeral but also everything else”. Then a website called MyDeadSpace.com, a tribute site for all those who have [...]

As Amanda has blogged about John Dickson‘s talk at the City Bible Forum this week, on the servant hood of Christ, I think I should also share what I have learnt. The talk was around the incomprehensible act of Jesus in Philippians 2:5-11. While he was in the very nature of God in verse 6, [...]

I really enjoyed talks in City Bible Forum, and over the past 3 weeks, John Dickson has been giving talks from his book “A Spectator’s Guide to Jesus”. I’ve always managed to learn something from those talks, and yesterday from the talk about the divinity of Jesus (i.e. is Jesus God?), John used the parallel [...]

Two famous Aussie died last week, and one controversial Israelite died almost 2,000 years ago. I did not expect to put those three names under one sentence, but somehow Joshua managed to used them as illustrations to conclude his talk this morning on John 6. If I remembered correctly, the logic basically goes like this. [...]

Dan Warne of APC talked about Ubuntu Christian Edition in a sort-of mocking way. I actually took a look at this Ubuntu Christian Edition (UBE) thingy, and it is nothing more than one bash script (convert_me) that installs both GnomeSword + a few modules (an open-source Bible study software) and DansGuardian (a web content filter), [...]

We watched Fun with Dick and Jane (FDJ) on DVD on Tuesday. Haven’t had an opportunity to watch a DVD for a while, and I actually felt quite privileged to be able to just relax and joy the show. FDJ is indeed enjoyable — what do you expect when you have Jim Carrey acting mad! [...]
