  1. Have you ever been so burdened that you want to die? The Bible is NOT dry. 2 Cor 1:8-10. This book was written for the sake of life.
  2. Many of us must pray for God to act not because God needs us, but so that the many of us learn to give thanks. 2 Cor 1:11.
  3. Why do I love the French? Two men. One fictional, the othe real. Jean-Luc Picard and Jean Calvin. They have both deeply shaped who I am.
  4. Many of us incorrectly judge the Bible the way Simon judged Jesus (Luke 7:39). The Bible judges and molds us, not the other way around.
  5. @andrew3sixteen Hunter? Very interesting name. They're gonna grow up and want to be the X-men.
  6. It's strange but true, Christianity makes me both an extreme capitalist and an extreme socialist.
  7. Look at how the TNIV and the latest NIV emasculates and castrates the Word of God in 1 Cor 16:13. That is ungodly. Shame on the translators.
  8. Why does Avatar: The Last Airbender end almost exactly the same way as Matrix 3 and Return of the Jedi? Because all epics point to THE Epic.
  9. In Chinese culture, you pour tea for yourself first, and then for the guest, so that they get the better/more concentrated tea.
  10. Looking at independent resort style retirement housing for in laws. These places scare me. Something doesn't feel right.
  11. My mother in law after the Avengers movie: "I don't understand why Superman and Spiderman got together."
  12. Though we are all worthy bc we are all created in the image of God, the Bible calls some worthy (Ruth 2:2), and some worthless (Judges 9:4).
  13. Jesus was not subject to the tyranny of needs, but to God's design and purpose. Luke 4:42-44.
  14. Jesus has the amazing ability to show people, who say they love him, that they in fact hate him. Luke 4:22,28-29.
  15. John the Baptist preached "good" news (Luke 3:18). Most of us today would categorize his message as bad news. (3:7-17). But it was good!
  16. Who is richer? 3.8 billion dollar Facebook founder Eduardo Saverin, or the mentally impaired Ian. You decide. brianchan.com/2012/05/who-is…
  17. Darwinistic and utilitarian ideas can never produce love like this: news.yahoo.com/mothers-inspir… This is love that requires Christ.
  18. Jesus always taught, and sometimes, he used questions to do it. Luke 2:46,47.
  19. I had class with 3 black belts today. I almost cried during the grapling exercises.
  20. God promised Abram many children, but fulfilled it thru barrenness. God promised Jesus glory, but fulfilled it thru humility. Trust.
