Dear all, Peng An,
In Genesis 2, the Bible said, that man should leave his parents, and cleave to his mate. Two shall become one. Both are naked and yet without shame....
The sacredness and mystery of marital relationship was very deep. In Ephisians apostle Paul even use the marital relationship to symbolize the repationship between Jesus Christ and Church.
Here in Jeremiah, marital betrayal was used to symbolize the turmoil relationship between Yahweh and Israelite people.
The exclusive and total mutual and life long commitment relationship in human marriage must bear some relation to what God would like to enjoy in our relationship with Him.....

Dear all, Peng An,
I was always puzzles about the gift of language to human. I suspected that language was the most important gift from God to humanity. Language might be related to human spirituality. Language was the channel to communiate our inner feeling, thought, and will. Language was the vehicle to show our love to each other. Language could cause serious hurt and harm to our neighbors. Language......

Dear JBC,
Thanks for your sharing. Was it possible that Saul had some constructive and positive motication in giving this order?

Dear Yuze,
Yeah, our behavior and decision would have ripples and impacts on those surrounding us. While I worked all night to prepare my sermon, my wife's sleep would be disturbed by my typing noise....

Dear Mou,
Interesting integration effort to bring your study of management with your bible meditation. But I would have some questions about your analysis...
If Jonathan knew about the military order of his father, then what would he do?

Dear JBC,
Yeah, I didn't know the main purpose or motivation of Jesus in doing this. Was it to show mercy on the paraplegic? Was it to show mercy on the Pharisees? Or might be both? Or even to leave with us a precious spiritual lesson?

Dear Yuze,
I liked your comment on learning from the response of JBC. I would like each one of us to learn from one another. Then we would beome a Mattress Fellowship.

Dear Mou,
Great sharing of this Mattress Fellowship. But for me, the mattress was what we used to help us survive with our weakness. Mattress was not our weakness, but paraplegia was our weakness. Mattress was what we could find to help us continue to live with our weakness. Yet the paraplegic was so fortunate to have such friendship that they would dare to risk their security and pay financial price to bring him to the front of Jesus.

Dear Mou,
I wonder whether Jacob's children would sense that their old and dying father was trying to convey to them his love for them...

Dear Yuze,
I wonder whether we would need to mention about the name of God in order to teach our children about God.

Dear JBC,
I chuckled when I read your observation about the turtle hair on Jacob [ where? lower leg, or?... JK]
I would also agree with your observation that parents could only do some initiation and encouragement for their children. Every one of us should be responsible for our own faith, while show gratitude to the good impact our parents might have upon our faith.

Dear Yuze,
Yeah, calling from God was both glorious and alarming. If the calling was from God, then God would grant us what we would need, but Satan would try his best to attack us.

Dear Mou,
Yeah, the vision or auditory hallucination [ you hear something that those near you didn't hear] might be from God, or from our own imagination, or even worse, from the disease process in our brain or mind. But there would be other associating signs and phenomena to help us do the differential diagnosis.

Dear JBC,
I had alsl fallen into the tyranny of Need when I was younger for many years. I learnd to differentiate between God's calling and environmental calling slowly. The presence of God would be the greatest assurance and award when we responded to God's calling with submission.

Dear all, Peng An,
Very good sharing. Each one of you had different kinds of observations and reflections.
We could develop some historical, political, familial, national, spiritual, personal reflection from this incidence.
This was the strategic critical point in the history of Israel nation. They would change from charismatic political, religious, and military leadership of judges into a more systematic, hierarchical, and differential leadership of kingship.
They would like to emulate the system of those countries surrounding them. Should Christian learn from non-Christians?
Was this incidence just a recorded historical event in a descriptive sense? Or this was a theological event? Was this a negative warning to us? Was kingship itself an evil political system? How about democracy?
Was there a Christian correct political system? Just some of my personal struggling querries to share with you.

Dear all, Peng An,
This was a very interesting inauguration sermon delievered by Jesus at the synagogue of Nazareth.
People loved to hear what they would love to hear. People usually responded with anger and rejection against what they would not like to accept.
So when Jesus talked about the good news of grace and mercy, people would respond with praise and happiness.
But when Jesus mentioned about God's mercy showered to outcase people, and skipped chose ones, people responded with hatred and even became murderous.
Jesus's first message consisted of both promise of blessing as well as warning of judgment.
Let's learn to listen carefully to both kinds of message with gratitude and repentance.

Dear all, Peng An,
From Isaiah 66:1-5, I observed that the true worship
1. not based upon the extravagance of the physical temple.
2. was a heart that would be humble and self reflective and treating God's Words with reverence and awe.
3. be careful not to become a hypocrite, who only practice religious rituals that would induce the negative reaction from God.
4. be careful to listen to God's calling and to obey.
5. not discouraged by those who critisize us with contempt.

Very intersting that you compare the life of Saul with that of his future life.

Very interesting that the three of you all did some comparison, yet the three of you did different kinds of comparisons. This was the joy of sharing our personal daily devotional meditations with one another. That sharing would enrich our observation and understanding of possible nuances and meanings of the Bible.

Dear All, Peng An,
Since all of us were parents, thus I thought we could try to empathize the feeling of Mary when she heard such prophecies from the old pious Simeon.
All parents would pray that their child would enjoy a life that was full of God's blessing and protection. Yet the reality often didn't follow such wish. I thought it a blessing for every patent to be ignorant of what would happen to their beloved child when the child was very young. The parents could live with many rosy dreams for their child's future.

草戊尚土 牧師,平安:

我覺得有可能是耶和華所說:『我的百姓愚頑,不認識我。他們是愚昧無知的兒女,有智慧行惡,沒有智慧行善。』

其實想想要能真正認識耶和華好像不是那麼容易,記得蔡牧師好像有說過,認識也有不同的層次,剛開始可能只是知道這個名字,然後可能又從別人身上多一些認識,加上自己也有不同的認識,最後才有委身信任的關係。

我自己對神的認識真的很膚淺,所以想從閱讀聖經中先了解一些,再從弟兄姊妹和牧師身上多了解一些,但願主能憐憫我,在我並不是那麼認識您時,仍給我智慧在每一天的做人處事上,讓我的作為是在行善而非行惡。

Dear all, Peng An,
If I would like to use one word to describe the evils of the Israelite people, it would "idolatry".
Often we would think that idolatry was committed by those gentiles who worshipped idols made by human hands. But I believed the wrost idols would be those who lived in our hearts, created by our hearts, and tyrannized our daily life. That which occupied the top position in our value system would be our idol, and Christians would commit such evil in the same way as all other people.

We often fell into the trap of evaluating one's piety by his surrounding happenings. If someone enjoyed great success, then we would be tempted to say that he must be pleased by God. If someone suffered from dismay or failure, then we would be tended to think that he must have done something affronting God. Kinds of 以成敗論英雄

Yeah, leadership issue was a very interesting human phenomena. We all would like to have good leaders to lead us, to protect and to provide for us. The price to enjoy such leadership was that we would need to submit to our leader's will, to obey his order, and to support his sustenance.
I like what Yuze shared here. For all Christians seemed to have two citizenships, one in the earth and the other in heaven. How to handle the relationship and interaction between these two citizenships would be a very inspiring challenge to all of us.

Here are two stories about the miraculous births of two cousins. The older one would be the herald of the younger one. Both would die a martyr death.
Here angels were sent to announce the good news of their births to the father of the first child, as well as the mother of the second child. Both of them responded with wonder and querry, yet the angels treat their querry differently.

From hearsay to eyesee was quite an experience. Jesus had once tested his students with these pair of questions: Who did people say I am? to be followed by Who did you say I am? That was from hearsay to eyesee. Our faith must learn to progress from second hand information hearsay to first hand life experience of eyesee.

Throwing a coin was using chance as a way to discern the will of God. Yet the Philistines were using something very interesting. They would like to make sure that some supernatural power was involved in all these disasters happening after they caught the ark of the covent from the Israelite people. So that design a way to use the natural love of a cow to her newborn baby to help them discern their concern and questions. Creative and wise.

Faith was a very interesting thing. We prayed because we believed that our God would listen and respond to our prayers. Yet at the same our mind was still under the control of our past experience and worldview. Thus most of the time we were caught in the dilemma of between believing and unbelieving, just like the father of the poor epileptic boy.

Joseph must have lots of thoughts racing through his mind when he saw his brothers came to him. Somehow he learned to be very careful this time, not as innocent as before. Joseph might learn this painful life lesson through so many years of suffering and pain.
