凡事都可行, 但不都有益處. 凡事都可行, 但不都造就人(林前10:23). 無論做什麼, 都要為榮耀神而行 (林前10:31). 這些經文, 是我信主後對自己的提醒和盼望. 没想到嘻笑人生, 20多年過去, 還没結出好果子. 以後請大家換個角度看我: "還好這人已經信主了, 不然更糟."

Vision

There was a story in this Sunday's preaching made me feel very uncomfortable. It's really unnecessary to whip a 2-years old multiple times for "not praying before going to bed". There are many milder and more educational ways to handle that. My mind blocked my ears after listening to that story. I might miss some good points followed by, but... Oh well, all my personal opinions. 

I've been coming home empty (no visions) for many Sundays, which is nothing unusual to me because my spiritual life has been low. I was alerted by coming home not only empty but also uncomfortable this time, because that's something unusual to me. After seriously thought over, I got this quote from the Bible: "Where there is no vision, the people are uncontrolled; but he who keeps the law will be happy." God words came in time again. God is good, all the time!

From now on, I'll remember to pray before going to church Sunday morning. Make sure to get myself ready for visions (not just for social). For me, a vision always comes with a touch feeling. A touch feeling never comes with those 1,2,3,4,... on a list which only help me fall into sleep quickly. Maybe expect too much from preachers, but nothing wrong to wish. Good to dump them out though. I'm happy as usual again. Praise the Lord.

[後記]
有人覺得我中文用的好好的, 為什麼有時候要用英文寫? ! 當我也想和兒女分享的時候, 只有用英文寫, 他們才會看. 從前女兒說我的EnglishChinglish, 母語, 表達. 這次Vision的人各有解讀, 看成好幾個Version, 都是出自善意(包括我在內), 不多作文章了. 管教小孩的方法和輕重, 相信大部份父母心裡都拿捏得準. 林書豪(Jeremy Lin)小的時候, 曾經多次藉著用頭撞牆來達到目的, 後來被他媽媽識破, 幫助他撞了一次, 他就再也不了. 寫到這兒, 心裡不禁嘀咕, 當年兒子和女兒不肯去中文學校的時候, 若是用鞭子狠抽一頓(甚至好幾頓), 他們現在說不定說不定只記得挨了揍, 還是看不懂中文.
