notes on listerning to sheperd's Psalm
notes on listerning to sheperd's Psalm
Psalm 23
the first part of the message is centered on Christ himself, the good sheperd
all through this psalm, the central focus is on our Lord Jesus; what a good sheperd
Rest:
Matt 11
the dual rest in this verse
- the initial and immediate rest of receiving His life
- the second rest in the process of renewing our mind
there's a rest for our souls
a complete rest in Christ Jesus
He restores my soul
The Sheperd's own work in sanctifying our body, soul and spirit
-the leader and completer of our faith
looking steadfast unto Jesus, the author and completer of our faith
In the end, David sought and found the cause of the Sheperd, His house -And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever. - a man after God's own heart

Questions reading Philemon
Questions reading Philemon
as reading through philemon, felt the love and gentleness on the one hand; on the other hand, quite striked by theverse 21 - having confidence in your obedience, I write to ou, knowing that you will do even more than I sa ...
obedience : many times sounds very foreign to our modern ears
My first impression from this word is that there have to bbe some higher authrority; or higher hierarchy, or even higher intellect or power for us to obedient to something greater than us
it is true that all creature should obey their creator
yet, futhermore, a willing obedience out of love, devotion and worship is muich more than a mere powerplay. it is a self volunary willing emptying oneself, pouring out of love and giving; it is only in the life of our Lord Christ Jesus, who even though as God, yet humbled Himself as a man, and yet died on the Cross for our sake.
Phillipians 2:
Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; 10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

funny thoughts on marriage theory back in 2005
Marriage Happiness Determinator Theory 1/17/2005
I cannot promise this determinator will guarantee you have a happier marriage life, but certain diagnostic and suggestive for preparing, and improving the chances for happier marriage.
(ATTENTION: just theory at this level! Please do take your own RISK in using this calculation)
Background: in the pilgrim's road, one (green ball) can be found in seveal possible positions - from barely a child in Christ (the bottom of the chart), to a grownup in Christ (the top) enjoying the blessings of heavenly places. Yet the process is against gravity, but through the propellant of faith, our ways are upward.
Preparations:
1. critial period - before critcal period, as babies in Christ, though the new life is growing, the old man is so big, dragging us down at every possible chance (region I), where we can call this region, dark struggles. After critical period, more experienced in the following of the Holy Spirit rather than submitting to the flesh, we reach region II, where there will be more victories, peace, joys and fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Critial period is a theoretical point where life can go either ways.
2. marriage relationship - not drawn in the graph, to represent marriage between a brother and a sister, we can just put their life's road map parallel to each other, and draw the love line. (sorry didn't consider marriage with non-believers, there will be at least one side to fall off the page)
....
Conclusions:
In one Spirit: Bones of my bone, flesh of my flesh type: is both are passed the critical period.
The worst chance is both are under the critical period (but still hopeful)
